                     IoTech - International Workshop on
              Internet of Things Technology and Architectures
                      Workshop date: October 11, 2012
         (Co-located with [1]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.
