**************************************************************** INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON THE INTERNET OF THINGS COMPUTING AND APPLICATIONS (IoTCA)

IN CONJUNCTION WITH ICDCS2017 ATLANTA, GA, USA | JUNE 5, 2017

**************************************************************** https://sites.google.com/site/iotcapp2017/ **************************************************************** The Internet of Things (IoT) is the latest Internet evolution that incorporates

billions of Internet-connected devices that range from cameras, sensors, RFIDs,

smart phones, and wearables, to smart meters, vehicles, medication pills, signs

and industrial machines. Such IoT things are often owned by different

organizations and people who are deploying and using them for their own purposes.

Federations of such IoT devices (referred to as IoT things) can also deliver

timely and accurate information that is needed to solve internet-scale problems

that have been too difficult to tackle before.

To realize its enormous potential, IoT must provide IoT solutions for discovering

needed IoT devices, collecting and integrating their data, and distilling the high

value information each application needs. Such IoT solutions must be capable of

filtering, aggregating, correlating, and contextualising IoT information in real-

time, on the move, in the cloud, and securely and must be capable of introducing

data-driven changes to the physical world. The IoTCA Workshop solicits paper submissions and aims to bring together

researchers and application developers working on the intersection of IoT with

distributed, cloud, internet, mobile, ambient, semantic, real-time, secure and

privacy-preserving computing. We also aim to explore the application of novel IoT

computing results and describe and assess their impact. Therefore, in addition to

encouraging novel and innovative, even early stage, unpublished work to be

submitted in the research track of this workshop, we also provide a smart

application track and encourage submissions describing novel IoT applications that

aim to solve real wold problems via any IoT computing technology.

**************** Topics of Interest **************** Topics of interest in the research track include all aspects of platforms,

architectures, models, designs, implementations, simulations, measurements and

assessments in the following IoT areas (but not necessary limited to these): * Description, search, and discovery of IoT devices and their data * Integration of IoT devices and their data * Very high velocity data ingestion * IoT cloud services and resources * IoT data query, analysis, and visualization * Real-time IoT data analysis * IoT device actuation and feedback * IoT security and privacy * Mobile sensing and data analysis * Localisation, personalisation, and contextualisation of IoT data * Using human sensors in IoT, and in particular analysis social media posting and

crowdsourcing * Fusion of sensor data with the social media postings * Information space intersection * Edge/fog computing services for IoT * IoT cost models and QoS Topics of interest in the smart applications track include all aspects of, but not

limited to: * Smart city services, such as transportation, pollution management, and disaster

management * Smart grids, such as hybrid power stations and demand side management * Smart farming, including irrigation, fertilisation, and crop assessment and

recommendation * Advanced manufacturing, including process automation, inventory management, and

Industry 4.0

**************** Important dates **************** Paper submission deadline: March 18, 2017 Acceptance notification: March 25, 2017 Deadline for camera-ready: April 10 Deadline for delivery of files to IEEE: April 16

**************** Workshop Chairs **************** Dimitrios Georgakopoulos, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia

Yang, St. Francis Xavier University, Canada Massimo Villari, University of Messina, Italy Alex Delis, University of Athens, Greece Tejal Shah, Newcastle University, United Kingdom Surya Nepal, Data61, CSIRO, Australia

**************** Web and Publicity Chair **************** Chang Liu, Newcastle University, United Kingdom (chang.liu1@ncl.ac.uk) Deepak Puthal, University of Technology Sydney, Australia

(Deepak.Puthal@uts.edu.au)

**************** Submission **************** Submission site: Easy Chair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iotca2017) Authors are encouraged to submit full papers describing original, previously

unpublished research solutions and/or smart applications not currently under

review by another conference or journal, addressing IoT state-of-the-art. Papers

must be submitted electronically via the link above. The length of papers must be

no more than 6 pages in the IEEE double-column format (everything including

references and ack. should be included in the 6 pages). The cover page must

contain an abstract of about 150 words, name and affiliation of author(s) as well

as the e-mail and postal addresses of the author(s). Each submission will receive

three reviews. At least one of the authors of every accepted paper must register

and present the work at the workshop. The PC will select some of the best papers

and invite them for publication in related journals (TBD).
