ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

This workshop is co-organised by FP7 ICT-EXALTED project partners (http://www.ict-exalted.eu), and NOME-IoT (http://www.dfki.de/nome-iot-workshop/2011/)

THE THEME OF THE WORKSHOP

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a novel design paradigm rapidly gaining wide global attention from academia, industries, and governments. The fundamental concept is to emphasize the ubiquitous computing among global networked machines and physical objects, denoted as things, such as RFID tags, sensors, actuators, machine-to-machine (M2M) devices, mobile phones, etc. It covers a wide scope of technologies including wireless/wired sensing, networking, computing and control, which together build feasible complex cyber physical systems (CPS) to support diverse applications, including smart grid, e-health, intelligent transportation, and logistics, etc. 

The proposed International Workshop on the Internet of Things Enabling Technologies (IoT-ET), in conjunction with IEEE WCNC 2012 is a new event focusing on key enablers for IoT, especially M2M communications and networking, that aims at providing a forum that brings together researchers from academia, practitioners from industry, standardization bodies, and government to meet and exchange ideas on recent research work, point out the directions for future research, and seek collaboration opportunities on all aspects of the IoT enabling technologies. 

The goal of this workshop is to promote borderless discussions and identify suitable strategies and solutions to enable effective and efficient IoT system performance. We are looking for papers that present new techniques, introduce new methodologies, propose new research directions, or discuss strategies, including standardization and regulation for resolving open problems spanning all aspects of an IoT system, such as scalability, wide-area coverage, sustainability, energy-efficiency, spectral-efficiency, heterogeneity, cooperation, and security. The focus will cover system-level solutions like software/hardware architectures, protocol-level solutions, and device and service management solutions. Furthermore, application-oriented demos and prototypes are also highly encouraged.

SCOPE and OBJECTIVES:

  • System architecture and components
  • Performance assessment and management (QoS, scalability, reliability, etc)
  • Radio/wireline, long/short range access network technologies
  • Channel and traffic models
  • Spectrum management for M2M/IoT radio communications
  • Mobility management
  • Naming, address management and End-to-End Addressability
  • Object, device and service management 

  • Real-time and historical data management
  • RFID, sensors, actuator technologies
  • Human-device interactions
  • Security, trust, and privacy issues for devices and services
  • Middleware
  • Cloud computing interworking
  • Semantic technologies
  • Applications, services, and business models
  • Sustainable design and technologies (e.g. energy-efficiency)
  • Test-beds and field trials
  • Standardization and regulatory issues
