2013 IEEE International Workshop of Internet-of-Things Networking and Control (IoT-NC)

The Internet-of-Things (IoT) is a novel design paradigm rapidly gaining wide global attention from academia, industries, and governments. The fundamental concept is to emphasize the ubiquitous computing among a global networked physical objects, or things, including RFID tags, sensors, actuators, and mobile phones, etc. It covers a wide scope of technologies including wireless/wired sensing, networking, computing and control, which together build feasible complex cyber physical systems (CPS) to support diverse applications, including smart grid, healthcare, intelligent transportation, and logistics, etc. Organizations such as IEEE, IETF, 3GPP and ETSI have started the IoT related standards from different aspects. The IEEE Int'l Workshop on Internet-of-Things Networking and Control (IoT-NC), in conjunction with IEEE SECON 2013 is a new event particularly focusing on all aspects of networking and control of IoT. It aims at providing a forum that brings together researchers from academia as well as practitioners from industry and government to meet and exchange ideas on recent research work, point out the directions for future research, and seek collaboration opportunities on all aspects of the IoT enabling technologies. The goal of this workshop is to promote borderless discussions and identify suitable technical solutions, in particular communications and networking technologies, to enable effective and efficient IoT system design and implementations. We are looking for papers that present new techniques, introduce new methodologies, propose new research directions, or discuss strategies for resolving open problems spanning all aspects of IoT. The focus will cover both the system-level solutions like software/hardware architectures, and the protocol-level solutions. Furthermore, application-oriented demos and prototypes are also highly encouraged.
