The IEEE 6th International Conference on Future Internet of Things
and Cloud (FiCloud 2018)
6-8 August 2018, Barcelona, Spain
http://www.ficloud.org/2018/
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Internet of Things (IoT) vision is to provide 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.
