The IEEE 5th International Conference on Future Internet of Things and Cloud (FiCloud 2017)

21-23 August 2017, Prague, Czech Republic

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.

CONFERENCE TRACKS:

- Software Architecture and Middleware - Mobile Cloud Services - Data and Knowledge Management - Context-awareness and Location-awareness - Security, Privacy and Trust - Software-defined Networking - Performance Evaluation and Modelling - Networking and Communication Protocols - IoT Services and Applications - Network Design and Architecture - Smart Environment - Intelligent Systems for Cloud and Services Computing - Energy Efficiency - Virtualization - Clouds at the Edges - Industry Track - General Track-Future IoT and Cloud Computing
