Internet of Things 2008

International Conference for Industry and Academia
March 26-28, 2008, Zurich (Switzerland)
Organized by ETH Zurich, University St.Gallen, and MIT

The term “Internet of Things” has come to describe a number of technologies and research disciplines that enable the Internet to reach out into the real world of physical objects. Technologies like RFID, short-range wireless communications, real-time localization, and sensor networks are now becoming increasingly common, bringing the Internet of Things into commercial use. They foreshadow an exciting future that closely interlinks the physical world and cyberspace — a development that is highly relevant to researchers, corporations, and individuals.

This conference will be the first that brings leading researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry together to facilitate sharing of applications, research results, and knowledge. The three-day event will feature keynotes from industrial and academic visionaries, technical presentations of cutting-edge research, reports on the user-experience from seasoned practitioners, panel discussions on hot topics, poster sessions summarizing late-breaking results, and hands-on demos of current technology.

Be sure to mark your calendars if you want to know more about:

* Novel services and applications in an Internet of Things (IOT)
* Emerging IOT business models and process changes
* Communication systems and network architectures for the IOT
* Technologies and concepts for embedding sensing, actuation,
communication, and computation into networked things
* Experience reports from the introduction and operation of net-
worked things in areas such as healthcare, logistics & transport
* Security & privacy aspects of IOT infrastructures & applications

Scientific contributions are expected to be published in the Springer LNCS series. We are particularly interested in work addressing real-world implementation and deployment issues. For submission instructions and further information, see the full call at: www.internet-of-things-2008.org/cfp/
