The 8th International Conference on Future Internet of Things and
Cloud (FiCloud 2021),
IEEE-CS TCI
23-25 August 2021, Rome, Italy
http://www.ficloud.org/2021/
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cloud is a modern computing platform for delivering on-demand
computing services to service consumers over the Internet.
Computing services include, for example, storage, memory, compute
power, databases, and networking among others. Cloud services are
generally provided using SaaS (Software-as-a-Service), PaaS
(Platform-as-a-Service) and IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service).
Unlike conventional distributed computing, cloud offers
flexibility, scalability, efficiency and elasticity in service
provisioning.
The Internet of Things (IoT) provides a dynamic and global network
infrastructure which is characterized by intelligent and self
configuring capabilities. IoT is considered as an integral part of
the future Internet. It is based on interoperable communication
protocols in order to enable the interaction and integration of
virtual as well as physical Things such as computers, smart
devices, sensors, cars, refrigerators, food packages, medicines,
etc. Things can be seamlessly integrated into the information
network and interaction can be made through the provision of
intelligent interfaces. In not so distant future, IoT will be
forcing its way into every aspect of our lives and technologies
including smart homes, smart cities, environment and nature, green
energy, food, medicine, automotive, aerospace and aviation,
telecommunication, and so on.
IoT is generally characterized by real world and small Things,
limited capacity, constrained devices and the consequential issues
such as less reliability, security and privacy. Cloud computing on
the other hand deals mainly with virtual world and has unlimited
capabilities in terms of storage and processing power. Thus cloud
and IoT are the main complementary aspects of the future Internet.
IoT can benefit from the unlimited capabilities and resources of
cloud computing. Similarly, cloud can benefit from IoT by
extending its scope to deal with real world things in a more
distributed and dynamic manner.
The theme of this conference is to promote the state of the art in
scientific and practical research of the IoT and cloud computing.
It provides a forum for bringing together researchers and
practitioners from academia, industry, and public sector in an
effort to present their research work and share research and
development ideas in the area of IoT and cloud computing.

Conference Venue:
The organizing committee is carefully monitoring the Covid-19
situation. The safety and well-being of the conference
participants is the main priority. The committee will confirm by
Spring 2021 of whether to hold the conference onsite in Rome or as
an online event.
Paper submission and Publication:
Authors are requested to submit papers reporting original research
results and experience. The page limit for full papers is 8 pages
and for short papers is 6 pages. Papers should be prepared using
IEEE two-column template. See instructions on the conference
website (
http://www.ficloud.org/2020/).
All papers accepted for this conference are planned to be
published in the conference proceedings by the IEEE Computer
Society Conference Publishing Service (CPS). The proceedings will
be submitted to the IEEE-Xplore and the IEEE Computer Society
(CSDL) digital libraries. The proceedings are also submitted for
indexing through IEE INSPEC, EI (Compendex), Thomson ISI, and
other indexing services.
Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended
versions of their papers for special issues in international
journals (see conference website).
