Call for papers:
Slowly but steadily the Internet of Things (IoT) is penetrating and
transforming our lives. The first stage of the IoT evolution consisted in the
deployment of RFID tags for facilitating routing, taking inventory and loss
prevention of goods. After that we witnessed the first wave of RFID and sensor
network integration toward vertical-market applications. Nowadays, new
generations of RFID tags, in particular active RFID tags, often include
built-in sensing
capabilities. Whereas, applications based on sensor networks often require
means for unique identification and discovery of objects, which are monitored
by the sensor network. The convergence of sensing and identification
technologies, together with communication and computation systems, enables us
to gain impressive awareness about the state of the real world and will
drastically change the way we interact with our environment. Urban planning,
smart cities, intelligent shopping, smart meters, home automation, security and
surveillance, industrial applications like process industry automation, supply
chain, smart product management and agricultural applications are examples of
potential applications for real-world systems. Even though the advent of the
IPv6/6LoWPAN protocol suite solved several technical issues, many challenges
are still open in the research and development communities concerning the
choice of communication paradigms, architectures and technology. The main
focus of this workshop is on technologies, applications and paradigms of the
IoT that are already deployed or are under investigation and that belong to the
second stage of the IoT evolution.
The next step in the evolution of the IoT is its characterization as the
underlying technological layer needed to shape and substantiate higher layer
concepts such as semantic web and personalization. In fact, the IoT is the
enabling technology to allow virtual and physical worlds to converge in what
has already been defined as Web 3.0. If, currently, the IoT is the most suited
companion of blogging, podcasting, tagging and social networking, we can
imagine that its evolution will foster the rise of statistical,
machine-constructed semantic tags and algorithms through the construction and
exploitation of semantic databases empowered by distributed and cloud computing.
The integration of the IoT with semantic databases, capable of delivering
accurate information about the nature and the state of every physical object
will introduce a staggering amount of new applications opportunities as well as
potentially lead to an ultimate"Big brother scenario". Therefore, a particular
interest will have to be given to appropriate security and privacy control
mechanisms.
The secondary focus of this workshop is on IoT vision and perspective towards
Web 3.0
IoTIP features two tracks:
-Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation;
- Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future
technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT.
Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:
- IoT paradigms, architectures, applications and technologies
- IoT systems and components
- IoT for semantic web and personalization
- Tools for developing IoT applications
- Blogging, Podcasting, Tagging and Social networking through the IoT
- Cloud vs distributed computing for the IoT
- Security and privacy control mechanisms
- Performance assessment and management (QoS, scalability, reliability, etc)
- PHY layer, Spectrum management for IoT radio communications
- MAC protocols (e.g., scheduling, power control etc.) for IoT
- Mobility management
- Naming, address management and End-to-End Addressability
- Object, device and service management
- RFID, sensors, actuator technologies
- Middleware
- Sustainable design and technologies (e.g. energy-efficiency)
- Test-beds and field trials
- Standardization and regulatory issues
Submission guidelines :
Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate
current research on IoTIP research topics. Standard IEEE conference templates
for LaTeX/Word formats can be found at:
http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html.
Papers should be submitted through EDAS at the following address:
http://edas.info/N14397.
All submissions should be written in English using 10 point font and be six (6)
printed pages long maximum using 10 point font and including figures and
tables. The papers should be submitted to one of the two tracks:
- Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation;
- Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future
technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT.
Authors must suggest their preferred track for their paper at the time of
submission. The workshop chairs, however, reserve the right to switch papers
between tracks if they deem them a better fit for another track.
Please note that the proceedings of this workshop will appear in IEEEXplore and
will be included in DCOSS conference proceedings.
