IoT-PS 2011 - 2011 International Workshop on Internet of Things and Pervasive Services (IoT-PS'11)

2011 International Workshop on
Internet of Things and Pervasive Servics (IoT-PS’11)

At the 5th International Conference on Complex Distributed Systems (CODS'2011)
Mannheim, Germany, 5-7 December 2011

Communicating smart objects/devices (sensors, controllers, actuators and embedded computers) form the Internet of Things (IoT). The striking distinction of IoT from traditional Internet is that smart objects/devices, equipped with information processing, computing and networking capabilities, are embedded in the real-world/physical environments and there can be hundreds of thousands and billions of smart objects/devices. Thus, system scalability, real-time dynamisms, robustness, fault resilience, self-adaptation, self-organization, etc., are becoming the overwhelming issues in IoT.

Pervasive computing is emerging as the next paradigm for distributed and mobile computing through building systems of communicating smart objects/devices in which ambient, trustworthy services built out of pervasive infrastructure and information are seamlessly available anywhere, anytime, and in all forms. By embedding ambient intelligence in everyday objects, our workplaces, our homes and even ourselves, pervasive computing and communications will enable a new breed of applications and systems which are composed of massive smart objects to create the environments that underpin a smart world.

IOT-PS’11 provides a premier forum for researchers and engineers alike to present state-of-the-art research and development progresses in all areas related to architecture, design, implementation, application and evaluation of mobile communications and pervasive computing as these technologies are permeating and integrating into our everyday living and working environments.
