=================================================================
Call for Posters, Demos and Late-Breaking Results
8th International Conference on the Internet of Things (IoT 2018)
Deadline: August 13th, 2018 [Extended Deadline]
http://iot-conference.org
Santa Barbara, CA, USA
=================================================================


The Organising Committee of the 8th International Conference on the 
Internet of Things cordially invites submissions of Posters and Demos 
and Late-Breaking Results papers reporting on recent findings or other 
types of innovative or thought-provoking work.

The International Conference on Internet of Things (IoT) has become the 
premier gathering place where visionary, ground-breaking research in the 
IoT field meets leading industry experts. Since its beginnings in the 
year 2008, IoT has been backed by strong support from leading academic 
institutions as well as industry and we are happy to announce its eight 
iteration will take place from October 15-18th 2018 in Santa Barbara, 
CA, USA.


SUBMISSION INFORMATION
==================

Submissions to the Poster, Demos and Late-Breaking Results track are in 
the form of a short paper and submitted as a PDF file. Papers have to be 
submitted via the EasyChair 
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iot20180) conference system, 
must be written in English and contain original material that has not 
been published or is currently undergoing review elsewhere. The 
submission length should not exceed 4 pages and follow the ACM SIGCHI 2 
column conference format. Papers are peer-reviewed by a committee of 
experts in the IoT field. Accepted papers will be listed on DBLP and 
published via the ACM Digital Library. Cases of plagiarism or multiple 
submissions will be subject to disciplinary action as per ACM rules and 
regulations, and no-shows at the conference will result in an exclusion 
from the ACM Digital Library.

Your submission should be close to camera-ready and thoroughly 
copy-edited due to the short selection cycle. Furthermore, due to the 
very rapid selection process we cannot offer any extensions to the 
deadline. Submissions are not anonymous and should therefore include all 
author names, affiliations and contact information and references to 
external data, software or videos, if applicable.


What are Late-Breaking Results

A Late-Breaking Results submission is a short report of recent findings 
or other types of innovative or thought-provoking work relevant to the 
IoT community. They represent work that has not reached a level of 
completion or maturity expected in the main track of the conference. 
Submissions should report on cutting edge or emerging work that has not 
been fully realized or developed and for which empirical data may not 
yet be available. Still, submissions should make a contribution to the 
State-of-the-Art in the field. A significant benefit of a Late-Breaking 
Results work is derived from the discussion between authors and 
conference attendees that will be fostered by the face-to-face 
presentation of the work. Please note that summaries of published work 
or reduced versions of main track IoT submissions are inappropriate as a 
Late-Breaking Result submissions and will be rejected.


TOPICS OF INTEREST
==================

Submissions are encouraged but not limited to the following topics:

Architectures for IoT
- Internet of Things Architecture: Novel information architecture design 
on field, edge, and cloud devices; object access and networking 
technology; investigation of technologies that support the mobility of 
functions and executions across system entities.
- Web Technologies for the IoT: Web-based discovery, search, and service 
composition to facilitate interactions between devices on the IoT and 
with users.
- Integration of Physical and Virtual Artifacts and Events: Advanced 
object identification, classification, and localization
- Description and Discovery of IoT devices, including mobile and moving 
devices: Ontologies and data models for the description and discovery of 
mobile systems and applications, including autonomous systems and 
wearable, urban or sensory computing devices.

Human-Object Interactions (HOI)
- IoT Interactions: Novel methods and techniques for seamless 
human-to-object interactions, including Augmented Reality and Virtual 
Reality interactions, Tangible and Gestural Interfaces.
- Novel affordances for IoT and Smart Objects: design of novel 
affordance for IoT-based smart objects

Object-Object Interactions (OOI)
- Interoperability of IoT Systems: Service discovery and composition, 
synchronization in distributed systems, overcoming siloization of IoT 
systems, semantic data description frameworks.
- Object-objects Interactions: methods and protocols for co-operations 
and coordination among objects, social internet of things, trust among 
objects

Privacy/security in IoT
- Social Acceptance of IoT Systems: Data security, authentication and 
authorization. Privacy protection, data sharing technologies (incl. 
blockchain technology), tampering protection and detection in IoT systems.
- Privacy/Security/Real-Time Fault Correction: Ensure privacy across 
integrated and wireless IoT systems while also being resilient to attackers.

IoT applications
- Real World Applications of IoT technology: Evaluation of challenges of 
real world deployments of Smart Cities, Industry 4.0, Industrial 
Internet, and GS1 implementations, including planned deployments (e.g., 
in advanced Manufacturing and Logistics).
- Physical World Event Processing and Understanding: Novel data 
collection, deep learning, reality mining, and prediction methods based 
on physical world observations. This might include real-time decision 
making, event processing, and extracting information from large datasets.
- Internet of Things and implications for user modelling: holistic user 
model based on IoT-enabled data gathering, novel personalized 
intelligent services and applications based on user model
