First IEEE International Conference on Internet Operating Systems
March 21-23, 2012
Hyatt Regency, Irvine, California, USA

Analogous to a desktop operating system, an Internet Operating System (IOS) brings together computational technologies that allow users to manage Internet resources (including documents, devices and applications). Unlike a desktop operating system, however, an Internet Operating System involves millions of people and it requires technologies that can stimulate the generation of content from a wide spectrum of human activities including personal, professional, cultural, social, and many others.

Interdisciplinary (Intra-disciplinary within Computer Science) in nature, the ultimate success of IOS requires new, synergized technologies be developed from various disciplines such as Computer Science, Social Sciences, Engineering, Physical Sciences, Medicine, Law, Business and Humanities. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

Modeling and Realization of Human Activities with the Internet
Search Engine and Question Answering
Service Discovery and Composition
Internet Resource Management
Internet Activity Management
Internet of Things
Internet Device Management
Human-Computer Interface
Architecture of Internet OS
Engineering & Tools for Application Development
Communication Technologies
Embedded Systems and Real-time Applications
Privacy and Security

The conference will consist of paper presentations, keynote speeches, invited talks and panel discussions. The ICIOS 2012 conference invites forward-thinking leaders including researchers, vendors, developers, start-ups, investors and users to attend
