Subject: CfP, IISA 2018 ANTARES Workshop: Theory and Practice of IoT, extended: May 20, 2018 [Apologies for cross-postings] --------------------------- Call for Papers --------------------------- ANTARES: Theory and Practice of IoT IISA 2018 9th International Conference on Information, Intelligence, Systems and Applications July 23 - 25, 2018 Zakynthos, Greece http://iisa2018.unipi.gr/antares/ https://antaresiot.github.io/iisa18/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging multidisciplinary field which aspires to revolutionize a large number of industrial and econ omic life as well as ordinary social life with the promise of improved, self-managed and self-sustained equipment, buildings, factor ies, and infrastructure. As such, it encompasses a large number of diverse engineering, scientific, and social fields. IoT is charac terized as the general trend of upgrading at least with reprogrammable firmware, remote control capabilities, a wide array of variou s sensors, and wireless connectivity devices which previously were considered to be either pointless or impossible to do so. The maj or driver behind this trend is the ever growing need for collecting a broad spectrum of data and for efficiently mining them for the ir latent value. Prime examples are household appliances such as coffee machines and bed sensors which collect data regarding how we ll one might sleep and how much coffee consumes after four or eight hours of sleep. Although these data might sound meaningless to c ollect and process, they may in fact be of tremendous value to insurance companies and medical researchers alike. ANTARES workshop aims to bridge various communities ranging from firmware and embedded system developers, data scientists, and crypt ologists to telemetry specialists, material scientists, and social media experts. A meeting between these practitioners is expected to be mutually beneficial. Due to the specialized nature of the proposed workshop, highly skilled and experienced individuals are an ticipated to join. The proposed workshop aspires to serve as a reference point for a major part of the so far accumulated knowledge in this rapidly evolving field. -------------- Aim and topics -------------- The workshop aims to build a platform for exchanging fresh ideas and expertise, and for obtaining feedback on ongoing IoT research. Thus, ANTARES will capitalize IISA 2018 topical diversity and will add a reference point for engineers and scholars in their related research. The list of topics will include but will not be limited to: - IoT industrial applications - Smart cities and smart infrastructures - Public policies for IoT - Web of Things (WoT) - Internet of People (IoP) - Current and evolving IoT standards - IoT topologies - Security and privacy - Non-obtrusiveness - IoT networking complexity www@manolito: ~/htdocs/events/iisa2018 $cat ANTARES_IISA_2018_CfP.v4.txt Subject: CfP, IISA 2018 ANTARES Workshop: Theory and Practice of IoT, extended: May 20, 2018 [Apologies for cross-postings] --------------------------- Call for Papers --------------------------- ANTARES: Theory and Practice of IoT IISA 2018 9th International Conference on Information, Intelligence, Systems and Applications July 23 - 25, 2018 Zakynthos, Greece http://iisa2018.unipi.gr/antares/ https://antaresiot.github.io/iisa18/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging multidisciplinary field which aspires to revolutionize a large number of industrial and economic life as well as ordinary social life with the promise of improved, self-managed and self-sustained equipment, buildings, factories, and infrastructure.
