The 2012 IEEE International Conference on Internet of Things (iThings)
The 2012 IEEE International Conference on Cyber, Physical, and Social Computing (CPSCom)
The 2012 IEEE International Conference on Green Computing and Communications (GreenCom)
These conferences will provide a high-profile, leading-edge forum for researchers, engineers and practitioners to present state-of-art advances and innovations in theoretical foundations, systems, infrastructure, tools, testbeds, and applications for the internet of things, cyber, physical and social computing, and green communications, as well as to identify emerging research topics and define the future.
iThings: The Internet of Things (iThings) is a network of Internet-enabled objects, which aims at increasing the ubiquity of the Internet by integrating every object for interaction via embedded systems and leads to the highly distributed network of devices communicating with human beings as well as other devices. Combining with the infrastructures of the every heterogeneous networks including Internet and mobile networks, these objects can communicate with humans, and enable peoples to monitor and control them and enjoy their intelligent services in anytime and anywhere.
CPSCom: topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:
- Cyber-physical systems and society
- Social computing
- Pervasive/ubiquitous computing
- Sensor/actuator networks
- Security, privacy, and trust
- Applications and services
GreenCom: Computers, communication systems and other IT infrastructure have been posing severe environmental problems by consuming significant amounts of electricity, increasing greenhouse gas emissions, and causing pollution during their production and disposal. To reduce these environmental problems and create a sustainable environment, new models, algorithms, methodologies, tools and systems are needed so we can generate green IT systems with high energy efficiency, low greenhouse gas emissions, less harmful materials and easily being reused and recycled.
Authors are invited to submit original papers that MUST NOT have been submitted to or published in any other workshop, conference, or journal. All papers must be written in English and submitted electronically through the Web site. For more information please see the Web page.
Each submission should be regarded as an undertaking that, if the paper is accepted, at least one of the authors must attend the conference to present the work in order for the paper to be included in the IEEE Digital Library. Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of iThings 2011 by IEEE Computer Society (EI indexed). Extended versions of selected papers will be considered for publication in several SCI-index international journals (check the Web site for details).
