CALL FOR PAPERS

The "Internet of Things (IoT)" is an emerging paradigm in which smart
objects provide seamless communication and contextual services such
as smart rooms, smart vehicles, recommendation services, and power
management. With recent development of RFID tags, sensors, actuators,
and mobile phones along with communication technologies, it becomes
possible to build smart objects which interact and co-operate each other.

However, we still do not have a common service platform to build such
systems; it is essential to the development of IoT systems to have generic
and customizable service frameworks which provide scalability and
interoperability.

The primary goal of the workshop is to discuss design and architectural
issues to build service platforms for Internet of Things and interconnected
smart objects, covering different research fields such as networked
sensing systems, interconnected smart objects, database systems,
protocols and scalable information systems.

The workshop is an integral part of ACM CoNEXT 2011, and accepted
papers are to be published in the CoNEXT 2011 proceedings on the ACM
Digital Library.

Suggested topics that could be discussed at IoTSP 2011 include
(but are not limited to):

* Service platforms to connect diverse smart objects
* Service platforms for security and privacy
* Service platforms as countermeasures in case of a major disaster
* Novel application or service scenarios of interaction with smart objects

and existing prototypes
* Overlay network and P2P technologies for networked sensing system
* Service interoperability in ubiquitous service platforms
* Sensor data integration, mapping and visualization
* Location-based services and geographic information systems
* Experiences on the deployment and experiments of contextual services
