                      IoTech - International Workshop on
               Internet of Things Technology and Architectures
                       Workshop date: October 11, 2012
          (Co-located with IEEE MASS 2012, Las Vegas, Nevada, US)

     *******************************************************************  

    In recent years, wireless sensors and mobile technologies have
    experienced a tremendous upsurge. Advances in hardware design and
    micro-fabrication have made it possible to potentially embed sensing
    and communication devices in every object, from banknotes to bicycles,
    leading to the vision of the Internet of Things (IoT). It is expected
    that physical objects in the near future will create an unprecedented
    network of interconnected physical things able to communicate
    information about themselves and/or their surroundings and also
    capable of interacting with the physical environment where they
    operate.
    Key peculiarities of IoT are the extremely large number of devices and
    their capability of seamlessly communicating via the Internet
    Protocol, which is expected to make IoT technology pervasive. IoTech
    will tackle technical issues related to fundamental as well as applied
    research on Internet of Things. Our intention is being inclusive,
    gathering practitioners, implementors and researchers with differing
    backgrounds and expertise to foster technical discussion and
    collaborations among IoT technology. For this second edition we would
    like to emphasize two aspects: 1) on the one side, the ability to
    scavenge energy to facilitate a sustainable IoT; and 2) on the other
    side, the coexistence of different technologies in the IoT, e.g.,
    (low-power) WiFi, IEEE 802.15.4 (and its many variants), LTE
    Femtocells as gateway access points, mixed wired and wireless network
    setups.

    TOPICS OF INTEREST
      *  Energy efficient device architectures: emphasis will be given on
        novel hardware designs, especially exploiting or integrating
        systems for energy harvesting.
      * Energy driven network design: emphasis will be given to papers
        dealing with self-sufficient devices with energy harvesting
        capabilities.
      * Reference and concrete communication architectures for IoTs:
        emphasis will be given on the capability of scaling up to a large
        number of communicating devices.
      * Communication protocol suites for energy constrained devices:
        theoretical investigation, design, implementation and experimental
        validation.
      * Optimization and improvement of standard protocols for specific
        application domains, e.g., smart energy metering, for their usage
        within IoT domains.
      * Lightweight signal processing techniques for smart objects, e.g.,
        distributed Source Coding, Compressive Sensing, Lossless and lossy
        compression, etc.
