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.
