CALL FOR PAPERS

SMARTOBJECTS 2016: 2nd workshop on experiences with design and implementation of smart objects, October, 2016 @ New York, USA
part of ACM MobiCom 2016, the annual international conference on mobile computing and networking

http://www.grc.upv.es/smartobjects2016/

The SMARTOBJECTS workshop focuses on experiences with the design, implementation, deployment, operation and evaluation of novel communication approaches and systems for smart objects in the emerging cooperative environments. We are therefore seeking original, previously unpublished papers empirically addressing key issues and challenges in the smart objects arena.
