The Internet of Things (IoT) search, which enables us quickly to find the related services, devices, and information, will become a globally underlying infrastructure. However, there are many emerging challenges to construct an IoT search engine, for example, the integration and management of heterogeneous data, the integration and transfer of enriched data, the effective use of knowledge-based decision systems, retrieval and sharing of knowledge automatically from huge volumes of data, security and privacy, etc.
This international workshop provides the growing technical and scientific community presenting the latest developments and bringing researchers and practitioners together. We are seeking both short position papers (3–6 pages) and longer papers (a maximum of 15 pages). Papers should be submitted in LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) format (style files are available at Paper Submission pageor LNCS Authors Instructions Page) as PDF files. We solicit previously unpublished papers offering novel research contributions in any aspect of the IoT search. And we welcome contributions related to any aspect of theory, design, implementation, analysis, verification, or empirical evaluation and measurement of secure systems about the IoT search. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:

 Search Engine Architectures
 Device and Service Discovery
 Data Integration and Management
 Knowledge Representations
 Reasoning Algorithms for Knowledge Systems
 Knowledge Management and Information Integration
 Knowledge Retrieval, Ranking and Sharing
 Access Control
 Privacy-preserving
 Security Risk Assessment
 Security Policy Management
 Industrial Control Systems Security
