CDS 2014 - 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Consumer Devices and Systems

Consumer devices and systems have been smarter than before rapidly. Such devices include AV devices, home appliances, mobile phones, home gateway and healthcare devices. Such devices have computing and communication functions, and communicate with each other. Networks for consumer devices are also emerging rapidly. However, such networks suffer from incompatibility. Integrated architecture, protocol and middleware for consumer networks are required for advanced systems for consumer devices. Such systems include home energy management (HEMS), digital healthcare, home security, social network service, home appliance control from mobile phone and so on. Cloud computing also supports such applications. The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers and engineers to present research results in this area. Any submission whose content is relevant to the area of consumer devices and systems will be considered, but any submission whose subject matter is related to one of the following topics will be particularly welcome:
? Smart Consumer Devices (e.g. Smart Phone, Smart TV, Home GW)
? Novel Architecture, Protocol and Middleware for Consumer Networks
? Novel Systems for Consumer Devices
? Security and Management Issues for Consumer Devices and Systems
? M2M Communications for Consumer Devices and Networks
? Social Network Services for Consumer Devices
? Emerging Technologies for Consumer Devices and Systems (e.g. Cloud Computing)
