Recent advances in wireless technology, micro-elecromechanical systems and the internet have enabled the Internet of things (IOT). In IOT, not only computers are connected to the internet, any object, animal or people could be connected to the internet. Objects, animals, and people have a unique identifier (address). They can transfer data over the internet without requiring the human-to-computer interaction. The existing of different types of objects which are connected through the internet promote many research challenges. For example, huge amount of data are usually generated, processed and transferred. Special Internetworking infrastructure may be needed. Security and privacy issues become more critical.
The Fourth International Workshop on the Future of the Internet of Things (FIT 2018) will be held in conjunction with The 15th International Conference on Mobile Systems and Pervasive Computing August 13-15, 2018, Gran Canaria, Spain.
