Internet of Things (IoT) has become an important global research
area that is rapidly gaining momentum in the modern wired and wireless
communications. The basic idea of IoT is the pervasive presence around us of a
variety of things or objects – such as Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID),
sensors, tags, actuators, mobile devices, etc. Using unique addressing
mechanism, these objects would be able to communicate and cooperate with each
other to achieve its objective. The main strength of IoT is the high impact on
several aspects of everyday-life and behaviour of potential users. Some of the
applications that IoT can be applied are e-health, assisted living, home and
building automation, logistics, industrial manufacturing, intelligent
transportation of people and goods.
While IoT promises to provide better assisted
living, there are challenging issues that still need to be addressed and both
technological and social knots have to be untied before the IoT idea is widely
accepted. This special track focuses on the concepts, technological challenges,
applications and social aspects of IoT.
This track provides an avenue for researchers to discuss on a wide range
of topics relevant to IoT and Future trends in Internet. We invite of original
and unpublished work covering areas related to IoT including but not limited to
the following aspects: |
