Internet of Things (IoT) has been considered as an innovative and imminent information infrastructure enabling to ubiquitously network various machines, physical devices, and objects, denoted as things, for environment sensing, information sharing and collaboration in intelligent and autonomous manner. Such technologies will act as a catalyst to the evolution of a new generation of services that will have a great impact on the social and technological eco-system. It can be envisaged that these next generation systems and services will encompass several domains such as e-Governance, Health Care, Transportation, Waste Management, Food Supply Chains, Energy & Utilities, Insurance etc. New technologies and applications built on top of them must be developed in order to fulfil this vision of Intelligent Infrastructure. IoT poses a number of new challenges and opportunities for computing, networking, data management and analytics due to the large scale and complexity of such systems, and heterogeneity of the things and networks, constrained by limited resources of the things and the network.

Encouraged by the good three successive years of ComNet-IoT in conjunction with ICDCN, the goal of CoMNet-IoT 2015 is to provide an inter-disciplinary platform for researchers to exchange ideas, present results, share experience, stimulate new research, and foster collaborations among researchers, professionals, and application developers on the various aspects of sensing, computing, networking, information and distributed systems technologies for IoT, including back-end infrastructure such as the Cloud. Topics of interests include but are not limited to the following areas related to IoT:

** Processing and Networking at Edge: Sensing and sensor signal processing, sensor networking protocols, energy harvesting and energy management
** Middleware: System and network architectures, middleware for heterogeneous sensors, devices \& protocols, QoS provisioning, security issues: data confidentiality, integrity, network resilience, etc.
** Analytics: Data management and analytics: data-stream, sharing, mining etc, business intelligence from sensor data,
social network analysis in IoT
** Infrastructure: Big Data Storage, management and analysis, back-end (cloud based) infrastructure, distributed processing
** Applications: Novel application developments and case studies in energy, healthcare, logistics and transportation, manufacturing etc, test-beds and field trials

Author Instructions
===================

Papers should be at most 6 pages, including title, abstract, figures and references, and not published or under review elsewhere. Papers should be prepared as per IEEE conference proceedings format (for details see: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html). Please submit your papers through EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=comnetiot2015)

At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and present the paper. In addition, no-shows of accepted papers at the workshop will result in those papers NOT being included in the proceedings.
