First IEEE Workshop on the

Internet of Things: Smart Objects and Services

http://www.ing.unipi.it/iot-sos2012

co-located with IEEE WoWMoM 2012

sponsored by IEEE, IEEE Computer Society

San Francisco, CA, USA

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a novel paradigm which is shaping the

evolution of the future Internet. According to the vision underlying the

IoT, the next step in increasing the ubiquity of the Internet, after

connecting people anytime and everywhere, is to connect inanimate

objects. By providing objects with embedded communication capabilities

and a common addressing scheme, a highly distributed and ubiquitous

network of seamlessly connected heterogeneous devices is formed, which

can be fully integrated into the current Internet and mobile networks,

thus allowing for the development of new intelligent services available

anytime, anywhere, by anyone and anything. Such a vision is also

becoming known under the name of Machine-to-Machine (M2M), where the

absence of human interaction in the system dynamics is further stressed.

Many applications with high social and business impact fall under the

IoT/M2M umbrella, including personal healthcare, smart grid,

surveillance, home automation, intelligent transportation, while it is

expected that new ones will emerge once the enabling technologies reach

a stable state. At the moment, two of the most important challenges are:

i) the definition of architectures, protocols and algorithms for an

efficient interconnection of smart objects, both between themselves and

with the (Future) Internet; and ii) the creation of value-added

services, esp. open and interoperable, enabled by the interconnection of

things / machines / smart objects, in such a way that they can be

integrated with current and new business and development processes.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and

researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for

discussion and technical presentations on the recent advances in theory,

application and implementation of the Internet of Things concept:

technologies, protocols, algorithms, and services.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- System architectures for the IoT/M2M

- Communication protocols for the IoT/M2M

- Service platforms for the IoT/M2M

- Enabling technologies and standards for the IoT/M2M

- Mobility management

- Context awareness

- Sustainable design

- Location-based services and geographic information systems

- Experimental prototypes and large-scale testbed infrastructures

- Performance evaluation of IoT/M2M solutions

- Convergence with the Internet of Services

- Applications, including: eHealth/mHealth; Smart Grid/Smart Metering;

connected consumer; fleet management; surveillance; Intelligent

Transportation Systems; Smart House/Neighborhood/City

- Business development and processes

- Industrial use cases showing gaps to be filled by future research
