The LCN International Workshop on Internet of Things will be held in conjunction with the IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN). The workshop will include papers and panels dealing with latest advances and challenges facing the field. The audience will include networking researchers, practitioners, scientists and engineers from industry, academia and government. LCN registration will cover workshop attendance.

With over 50 billion devices expected to be connected to the Internet by 2020, IoT is now among the fastest growing areas of networking research and development. It is a pervasive technology being deployed for applications ranging from smart grid to vehicular networking and smart homes to smart workplace. Realizing this vision requires IoT specific advances in fields such as cloud computing and big data analytics for identification, learning and knowledge discovery. This workshop will be a venue for papers on different aspects of IoT that extend beyond sensor networking. It will cover research and advance developments in IoT related to enabling technologies, emerging standards, data analytics, cloud services, knowledge discovery, services, societal impacts, security and privacy issues, and case studies.

Topics of Interest

All topics related to IoT except for those related to sensor networking applications coming under the purview of SenseApp will be considered. High quality, previously unpublished work is solicited on the topics including, but not limited to
    Enabling hardware technologies
    Architectures, interfaces and standards
    Edge and gateway devices
    Programming and runtime tools
    Mobility support
    Energy and resource optimization
    Analytics
    Knowledge discovery
    Big data and cloud computing for IoT
    Application and services
    Protocols for IoT
    Reliability, availability, scalability
    Performance models
    Societal impacts
    Privacy challenges
    Infrastructure security
    Case studies and deployments

Paper Submission

Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor being currently under review by another conference or journal. Paper length should not exceed 8 pages. Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format via EDAS. Papers will go through a thorough review process. The accepted papers will appear in the IEEE LCN conference proceedings published by the IEEE and will also be available via IEEE Xplore. There will be no separate workshop registration, as one single registration will cover both conference and workshops participation. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register and present his/her work at the workshop.

Proposals for panel sessions are also invited. Please send the proposal by the same deadline as for papers.

Important Dates

Paper submission deadline:   June 6, 2016
Notification of acceptance:    July 27, 2016
Camera-ready paper due:       Aug. 15, 2016
Registration deadline:              Aug, 15, 2016
