IoT Cloud 2013 - The 2nd International Workshop on Cloud Computing for Internet of Things

CALL FOR PAPERS
CloudCom-Asia Workshop
IoTCloud 2013
2nd International Workshop on Cloud Computing for Internet of Things
in Conjunction with 2013 International Conference on Cloud Computing and Big Data (CloudCom-Asia)
Submission Deadline: Sept 17, 2013
SCOPE
With all objects in the world equipped with minuscule identifying devices, daily life on Earth would undergo a transformation. The Internet of Things (IoT) is aimed at enabling the interconnection and integration of the physical world and the cyber space. The Internet of Things refers to uniquely identifiable objects (things) and their virtual representations in an Internet-like structure. It represents the trend of future networking, and leads the third wave of the IT industry revolution. IoT systems need the large-scale computing and storage abilities. Cloud computing infrastructure has three distinct characteristics. First, the infrastructure is built on top of large scale clusters which contain a large number of cheap PC servers. Second, the applications are co-designed with the fundamental infrastructure that the computing resources can be maximally utilized. Third, the reliability of the whole system is achieved by software building on top of redundant hardware instead of mere hardware. All these technologies are for the two important goals for distributed system: high scalability and high availability. Those facts make the cloud computing are the best choice for IoT systems to process and store their data.
IoTCloud 2013 is intended to provide a forum for researchers to present their contributions as technical papers related to the Cloud Computing for Internet of Things. The papers solicited in IoTCloud 2013 cover a variety of topics including but not limited to:
* Cloud Computing based Internet of Things technology theory and its applications
* IoT Data processing based on Cloud Computing
* Cloud storage for IoT Data
* Novel services and applications using Internet of Things technology
* Discovery Service Architectures for the Internet of Things
* Emerging Internet of Things business models and process changes
* Experience reports from the introduction and operation of networked things in areas such as healthcare, logistics & transport,
* Emerging applications and interaction paradigms for everyday citizens
* Social impacts and consequences, such as security, privacy, opportunities and risks
* Green by Internet of Things / Green of Internet of Things Technology
* Design of future sustainable technologies linking the physical and virtual world
* Smart Objects
* RFID technology and its applications in Internet of Things
* Wireless Sensor Networks
* Wireless mesh networks and cognitive networks
* Mobile Networks
* Peer-to-Peer(P2P) technology and its applications in Internet of Things
* IPv6-based Internet of Things technology theory and its applications
