Software Engineering for Cloud-based Internet of Things – SE for Cloud IOTs 2018

(www.se-cloud.scitevents.org/Workshops.aspx#SEforCloudIOTs)

26 - 28 July, 2018 - Porto, Portugal

In conjunction with the 1st International Conference on Software Engineering for Service and Cloud Computing - SE-CLOUD 2018

(www.se-cloud.scitevents.org/Home.aspx)

1. Scope of the Workshop

Internet of Things (IoTs) have emerged as a disruptive technology and an enabling platform to interconnect humans, systems, services, devices and thing. To support the IoTs vision; a number of challenges exist in terms of engineering and development of systems that rely on software, platform, and infrastructure level support (offered by cloud computing) to develop, evolve and operate IoT solutions. Engineering the cloud-based software services can support a seamless integration between the hardware, software, and networking technologies to enable an internet of portable and context-aware devices and things. The scope of the proposed workshop (SE for Cloud IoTs) is to consolidate the research and development efforts that exploit Software Engineering principle and practices to address the challenges of Cloud-based IoTs.
