Calll for Papers [Please accept our apologies if you received multiple copies of this call] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IOTS 2010 The 1st IEEE/ACM Internet of Things Symposium http://www.cpschina.org/IOTS/ IOTsymposium2010@gmail.com In conjunction with GreenCom 2010 Hangzhou, China, 31 October - 1 November, 2010 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.Overview The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of Internet-enabled objects, together with web services that interact with these objects. IoT is growing momentum in terms of the underlying technology as well as the adoption by corporations, universities and across many industries. IoT aims at increasing the ubiquity of the Internet by integrating every object for interaction via embedded systems, which leads to the highly distributed network of devices communicating with human beings as well as other devices. The widespread adoption of the Internet of Things will take time, but the process is accelerating thanks to improvements in underlying technologies. Advances in wireless networking technologies and the standardization of communication protocols make it possible to collect data from sensors almost anywhere at any time. Smaller silicon chips for this purpose are gaining new capabilities. Significant increase in storage and computing power can also be available via cloud computing. However, a large number of challenges remain. With the increase in heterogeneity, it has become very difficult to ensure interactions with devices on a unified protocol. The requirements of Internet for intelligent interaction with the environment led to the emergence of wireless sensor networks connected to the Internet. There exists a need for those networks to produce their information in an interpretable form and to reduce the complexity of accessing sensor services. 2.Symposium Outline The focus of this symposium is on bringing together relevant researchers to explore internet of things technologies and applications of sensor networks, RFID and smart phones. The scope of this symposium includes, but not limited to, the following areas: - IoT connecting objects technologies: sensors, RFID, smartphone - IoT network architectures - IoT emerging applications - IoT security and privacy - IoT routing - IoT naming and addressing - IoT energy-efficient computing and communications - IoT data fusion - IoT cross-layer optimization - IoT communication protocols - IoT heterogeneous network integration: WiFi, WiMax, 3G, 4G, ZigBee 3.Important Dates Submission Deadline: postponed to Jul. 15, 2010 Authors Notification: Aug. 10, 2010 Final Manuscript Due: Aug. 30, 2010 4.Submission Instructions We solicit original and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal/magazine/conference. All papers will be reviewed by the IOTS Program Committee for significance, originality, accuracy, and clarity.
