NEST 2014 - The 3rd IEEE International Symposium on Networked Embedded Systems for Internet of Things (NEST'14)

The Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to revolutionize the way we interact with devices at work, home, or public spaces. By providing network connectivity to embedded devices, everyday objects will be able to interact with each other, introducing new services and opportunities to end users.
Networked Embedded Systems have been applied to tackle a wide range of significant problems in various domains. However, current approaches often lack consideration of how networked embedded systems should be developed in IoT era. NEST aims to gather the best in current expertise in this field, to drive research into the integration of embedded systems and IoT and promote the use of networked embedded systems to address critical practical problems.
