UCIOT 2017 - First International Workshop on Utility Clouds for IoT (UCIOT 2017)

The ever-increasing inter-connectedness of physical devices presents many opportunities and challenges for research communities to address. Areas of interest range from the design of hardware and infrastructure, protocol performance and data analytics, power management and energy harvesting, through to trust mechanisms and decentralised governance. Utility clouds play an important role in the specification, design and realisation of approaches to the Internet of Things (IoT), and there is much to be explored from both the evaluation of traditional approaches to managing distributed networks of devices, as well as the application of novel approaches and technologies to solve emerging challenges.
This workshop provides the forum for research communities to discuss, tools, technologies, techniques, methods, approaches and frameworks for the utilisation of utility clouds and cloud-like architectures for the IoT.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to), the following subjects:
Software Defined Networks for IoT
Visualising data in IoT networks
In-Transit Analytics for IoT
Trust mechanisms and cypto-currencies/distributed ledger for IoT
QoS in IoT cloud and cloudlet architectures
Secure clouds for IoT
IoT security as a service
Microservices architectures for IoT
IoT data and analytics provenance
Power management as a service for green IoT
Utility cloud applications for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industry 4.0
