------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Internet of Things (IoT) is shaping the evolution of the future
Internet. According to the vision underlying the IoT, the next step
in increasing the ubiquity of the Internet, after connecting people
anytime and everywhere, is to connect inanimate objects. By providing
objects with embedded communication capabilities and a common
addressing scheme, a highly distributed and ubiquitous network of
seamlessly connected heterogeneous devices is formed, which can be
fully integrated into the current Internet and mobile networks, thus
allowing for the development of new intelligent services available
anytime, anywhere, by anyone and anything.

Many applications with high social and business impact fall under
the IoT umbrella, including personal healthcare, smart grid,
surveillance, home automation, intelligent transportation, while
it is expected that new ones will emerge once the enabling technologies
reach a stable state.
At the moment, four of the most important challenges are:

- Architectures, protocols and algorithms for an efficient
interconnection of smart objects, both between themselves and with
the (future) Internet within the 5G context.
- The creation of value-added services in cross-domain applications,
especially open and interoperable, enabled by the interconnection of
things / machines / smart objects, in such a way that they can be
integrated with current and new business and development processes.
- The support of a virtualized IoT based on the concepts of virtualized
components and functions within dense and heterogeneous environments.
- Security, privacy and trust in the IoT applications, for ensuring that
the provided services will protect the users’ data, provide guarantees
that no malicious users/devices will affect the system decisions and
that the IoT applications will be secure and privacy-preserving
“by design”.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and
researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for
discussion and technical presentations on the recent advances in theory,
application and implementation of the Internet of Things concept:
Technologies, protocols, algorithms, and services.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- System architectures for the IoT
- Protocols and mechanisms for seamless IoT communications
- Modeling and simulation of large-scale IoT scenarios
- Enabling standards and technologies for the IoT
- Service platforms for IoT applications
- Business models and processes for IoT applications
- Energy optimization and sustainable operation of IoT devices
- Access network issues including mobility management, data
dissemination and routing
- Testbeds for the IoT
- Security, privacy and trust in the IoT context
- Experimental IoT system prototypes and pilots
- Novel and emerging IoT applications; including eHealth/mHealth,
Smart Grid/Smart Metering, Intelligent Transportation Systems,
Smart House/Neighborhood/Cities
- Industrial use cases showing gaps to be filled by future research
- Ethical issues in the IoT applications
- Optimized and robust dynamic spectrum access on IoT
- Integration of IoT, Cloud and Fog computing
- Emerging communication technologies for IoT,
e.g. Low Power WAN and D2D
- Protocols and architectures for Industrial IoT
- System architectures for massive IoT
