Internet of Things 2008

International Conference for Industry and Academia
March 26-28, 2008 / Zurich

The term "Internet of Things" has come to describe a number of
technologies and research disciplines that enable the Internet to reach
out into the real world of physical objects. Technologies like RFID,
short-range wireless communications, real-time localization and sensor
networks are now becoming increasingly common, bringing the Internet of
Things into commercial use. They foreshadow an exciting future that
closely interlinks the physical world and cyberspace - a development
that is not only relevant to researchers, but to corporations and
individuals alike.

The conference, organized by Friedemann Mattern (ETH Zurich), Elgar
Fleisch (University of St. Gallen and ETH Zurich), and Sanjay Sarma
(MIT), will be the first that brings leading researchers and
practitioners from both academia and industry together to facilitate
sharing of applications, research results, and knowledge. The three-day
event will feature keynotes from industrial and academic visionaries,
technical presentations of cutting-edge research, reports on the
user-experience from seasoned practitioners, panel discussions on hot
topics, poster sessions summarizing late-breaking results, and hands-on
demos of current technology.


This conference brings leading researchers and practitioners from both
academia and industry together to facilitate sharing of applications,
research results, and knowledge. We are particularly interested in work
addressing real-world implementation and deployment issues.

For the scientific track of the conference we solicit papers on subjects
such as:

Novel services and applications in an Internet of Things (IOT)

Emerging IOT business models and process changes

Communication systems and network architectures for the IOT

Technologies and concepts for embedding sensing, actuation,
communication, and computation into networked things

Experience reports from the introduction and operation of networked
things in areas such as healthcare, logistics & transport

Security & privacy aspects of IOT infrastructures & applications

Submissions should not be longer than 18 pages and will be peer
reviewed. Proceedings are planned to be published in Springer's Lecture
Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.
