SCOPE

International Workshop on Internet-of-Things Communications and
Networking (IoT-CN) is particularly focusing on all aspects of networking,
that aims at providing a forum to bring together researchers from academia
as well as practitioners from industry 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. We are looking for papers that present new techniques,
introduce new methodologies, propose new research directions, or discuss
strategies for resolving open problems spanning all aspects of IoT.


Areas of interest include but not limited to:

- System architecture and components
- Performance assessment and management (QoS, scalability, reliability, etc)
- Radio/wireline, long/short range access network technologies
- Channel and traffic models
- PHY Layer and Spectrum management for IoT
- MAC Protocols and mobility management for IoT
- Naming, address management and End-to-End Addressability
- Object, device and service management
- RFID, sensors, actuator technologies
- Security, trust, and privacy issues for devices and services
- Middleware
- Cloud computing interworking
- Applications, services, and business models
- Sustainable design and technologies (e.g. energy-efficiency)
- Test-beds and field trials
- Standardization and regulatory issues
