Call For Papers:

International Workshop on Pervasive Internet of Things and Smart Cities 
(PITSaC-2013)  http://ants.inf.um.es/pitsac

To be held in conjunction with the 27th International Conference on 
Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA2013) 
http://www.aina-conference.org/2013
Barcelona, Spain, March 2013

Submission deadline: October 15th, 2012

Scope:

This workshop aims at gathering researchers and developers from the 
fields of the Internet of Things, Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing and 
Smart Cities to discuss the technologies and research challenges 
associated to new applications and services in Smart Livable Cities.

The Internet of Things is a key enabler for the realization of smart 
cities as it allows for the pervasive interaction with/between the smart 
things leading to an effective integration of information into the 
digital world. These smart (mobile) things – which are instrumented with 
sensing, actuation, and interaction capabilities - have the means to 
exchange information and influence the real world entities and other 
actors of a smart city eco-system in real time, forming a smart 
pervasive computing environment to achieve a more livable city.

Pervasive Internet of Things and Smart Cities (PITSaC) is an 
International Workshop focused on the extension and integration aspects 
of the secure Internet of Things and pervasive computing technologies. 
The objective is to reach a global access to the services and 
information through, on the one hand, the so-called Web of Things and on 
the other hand, the efficient support for global communications, in 
order to embrace the machine to machine (M2M) communications in the 
future Internet of Things composed of IPv6 network and various smart 
things. This workshop will also address further issues such as the 
adaptation of legacy technologies and RFID to IPv6 and the Future 
Internet of Things, security and privacy requirements in Smart Cities 
and the design of a secure and privacy-aware Internet of Things as well 
as the definition of new advanced architectures and models for the 
Internet and its application to smart livable Cities.


The tracks and topics that are considered, but not limited to, are the 
following:
