--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IOTS 2010
The 1st IEEE/ACM Internet of Things Symposium

http://www.cpschina.org/IOTS/
In conjunction with GreenCom 2010
Hangzhou, China, 31 October - 1 November, 2010
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.Overview

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of Internet-enabled objects,
together
with web services that interact with these objects. IoT is growing momentum
in
terms of the underlying technology as well as the adoption by corporations,
universities and across many industries. IoT aims at increasing the ubiquity

of the Internet by integrating every object for interaction via embedded
systems,
which leads to the highly distributed network of devices communicating with
human beings as well as other devices.

The widespread adoption of the Internet of Things will take time, but the
process is accelerating thanks to improvements in underlying technologies.
Advances in wireless networking technologies and the standardization of
communication protocols make it possible to collect data from sensors
almost anywhere at any time. Smaller silicon chips for this purpose are
gaining
new capabilities. Significant increase in storage and computing power can
also be
available via cloud computing. However, a large number of challenges remain.

With the increase in heterogeneity, it has become very difficult
to ensure interactions with devices on a unified protocol. The requirements
of
Internet for intelligent interaction with the environment led to the
emergence of wireless sensor networks connected to the Internet. There
exists a
need for those networks to produce their information in an interpretable
form
and to reduce the complexity of accessing sensor services.

2.Symposium Outline

The focus of this symposium is on bringing together relevant researchers to
explore internet of things technologies and applications of sensor networks,
RFID
and smart phones. The scope of this symposium includes, but not limited to,
the
following areas:

- IoT connecting objects technologies: sensors, RFID, smartphone
- IoT network architectures
- IoT emerging applications
- IoT security and privacy
- IoT routing
- IoT naming and addressing
- IoT energy-efficient computing and communications
- IoT data fusion
- IoT cross-layer optimization
- IoT communication protocols
- IoT heterogeneous network integration: WiFi, WiMax, 3G, 4G, ZigBee

Committee for significance, originality, accuracy, and clarity. For detailed

submission instructions, please visit the symposium website:
http://cpschina.org/IOTS/. Papers should be a maximum of
15 pages in PDF file. Paper formatting instructions and templates
(IEEE "8.5x11" two-column format) can be found at:
http://cpschina.org/IOTS/IEEECS_IOTS_8.5x11x2.rar and
http://cpschina.org/IOTS/IEEECS_IOTS_LaTeX_Letter_2Col.rar. Each submission
should be regarded as an undertaking that, if the paper is accepted, at
least
one of the authors must attend the workshop to present the work.

Please submit your paper here:
