IEEE GLOBECOM 2012 Workshop

International Workshop on Machine-to-Machine Communications
?Key? to the Future Internet of Things
In conjunction with IEEE GLOBECOM 2012, 3-7 December 2012, Disneyland
Hotel, Anaheim, California, USA
(Workshop homepage http://iwm2m.cttc.es)

Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications recently received tremendous
global attention from academia, industries, and governments. M2M
systems are a major step towards the future Internet of Things and
offer new services and applications, such as e-healthcare, smart city,
smart grid, intelligent transportation, remote monitoring, and
logistics. Such services and applications open a mass market and
several business opportunities, whilst transforming the way
communication systems are defined and operate.
M2M communications requires the development of novel solutions to
efficiently serve a huge number of devices that interact autonomously
at a global level. It also opens a wide research area for future M2M
communications, including investigations on scalability, wide-area
coverage, energy-efficiency, spectral-efficiency, heterogeneity,
cooperation, and security. This workshop will shed light on major
aspects of M2M communications including radio aspects, networking
aspects as well as service aspects. Topics of interest include all
aspects related to M2M communications, including results from academic
and industry research as well as practical aspects of M2M
communications. In particular, this workshop calls for contributions
on the following topics:

-       System architecture and components
-       Radio access network technologies and protocols
-       Spectrum management for M2M
-       Channel and traffic models
-       Middleware for M2M
-       Interworking protocols and mechanisms
-       Cloud support for M2M applications
-       Device, data and service management for M2M
-       Semantic technologies for M2M
-       Mobility management for M2M
-       Naming and addressing
-       Security, trust and privacy of M2M devices and services
-       New M2M applications, services, and business models
-       Field Trials / Test-beds / Regulatory issues
-       Current and upcoming standardization efforts

previously published or currently under review by any other workshop,
conference, or journal.Papers need to be uploaded to the EDAS GLOBECOM
2012 workshop submission link (http://edas.info/N12459) for this
workshop, and should follow the GLOBECOM 2012 paper submission
guidelines. All submissions should be written in English with a

additional page with over-length page charge of USD100 if accepted).
Papers exceeding 7 pages will not be accepted at EDAS, nor reviewed at
all. Accepted papers will be published in IEEE Xplore. IEEE reserves
the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference
(e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if it is not presented at the
conference.
