INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON THE
INTERNET OF THINGS COMPUTING
AND APPLICATIONS (IoTCA)
IN CONJUNCTION WITH ICDCS2017
ATLANTA, GA, USA | JUNE 5, 2017

****************************************************************
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the latest Internet evolution that incorporates
billions of Internet-connected devices that range from cameras, sensors, RFIDs,
smart phones, and wearables, to smart meters, vehicles, medication pills, signs
and industrial machines. Such IoT things are often owned by different
organizations and people who are deploying and using them for their own purposes.
Federations of such IoT devices (referred to as IoT things) can also deliver
timely and accurate information that is needed to solve internet-scale problems
that have been too difficult to tackle before.
To realize its enormous potential, IoT must provide IoT solutions for discovering
needed IoT devices, collecting and integrating their data, and distilling the high
value information each application needs. Such IoT solutions must be capable of
filtering, aggregating, correlating, and contextualising IoT information in real-
time, on the move, in the cloud, and securely and must be capable of introducing
data-driven changes to the physical world.
The IoTCA Workshop solicits paper submissions and aims to bring together
researchers and application developers working on the intersection of IoT with
distributed, cloud, internet, mobile, ambient, semantic, real-time, secure and
privacy-preserving computing. We also aim to explore the application of novel IoT
computing results and describe and assess their impact. Therefore, in addition to
encouraging novel and innovative, even early stage, unpublished work to be
submitted in the research track of this workshop, we also provide a smart
application track and encourage submissions describing novel IoT applications that
aim to solve real wold problems via any IoT computing technology.
****************
Topics of Interest
****************
Topics of interest in the research track include all aspects of platforms,
architectures, models, designs, implementations, simulations, measurements and
assessments in the following IoT areas (but not necessary limited to these):
* Description, search, and discovery of IoT devices and their data
* Integration of IoT devices and their data
* Very high velocity data ingestion
* IoT cloud services and resources
* IoT data query, analysis, and visualization
* Real-time IoT data analysis
* IoT device actuation and feedback
* IoT security and privacy
* Mobile sensing and data analysis
* Localisation, personalisation, and contextualisation of IoT data
* Using human sensors in IoT, and in particular analysis social media posting and
crowdsourcing
* Fusion of sensor data with the social media postings
* Information space intersection
* Edge/fog computing services for IoT
* IoT cost models and QoS
Topics of interest in the smart applications track include all aspects of, but not
limited to:
* Smart city services, such as transportation, pollution management, and disaster
management
* Smart grids, such as hybrid power stations and demand side management
* Smart farming, including irrigation, fertilisation, and crop assessment and
recommendation
* Advanced manufacturing, including process automation, inventory management, and
Industry 4.0

Submission
****************
Submission site: Easy Chair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iotca2017)
Authors are encouraged to submit full papers describing original, previously
unpublished research solutions and/or smart applications not currently under
review by another conference or journal, addressing IoT state-of-the-art. Papers
must be submitted electronically via the link above. The length of papers must be
no more than 6 pages in the IEEE double-column format (everything including
references and ack. should be included in the 6 pages). The cover page must
contain an abstract of about 150 words, name and affiliation of author(s) as well
as the e-mail and postal addresses of the author(s). Each submission will receive
three reviews. At least one of the authors of every accepted paper must register
and present the work at the workshop. The PC will select some of the best papers
and invite them for publication in related journals (TBD).
