CALL FOR PAPERS

1st International Workshop on Interoperability,

Integration, and Interconnection of Internet of Things
Systems (I4T)
jointly held with
IOTDI 1st IEEE International Conference on Internetof-Things Design and Implementation
April 4-6, 2016, Berlin, Germany
While still in his infancy, the IoT domain already lists a number of
solutions implemented, ranging from devices to platforms.
However, the heterogeneity at all levels of those solutions is
preventing different systems to interoperate effectively, despite
significant efforts in the development of a unique reference
standard for IoT systems technology. The situation is likely to
worsen in the near future, as lack of interoperability causes major
technological and business-oriented issues such as impossibility to
plug non-interoperable IoT devices into heterogeneous IoT
platforms, impossibility to develop IoT applications exploiting
multiple platforms in homogeneous and/or cross domains,
slowness of IoT technology introduction at large-scale,
discouragement in adopting IoT technology, increase of costs,
scarce reusability of technical solutions, and user dissatisfaction.
This Workshop aims at investigating such lack of interoperability
in the IoT realm by welcoming paper submissions providing
innovative research as well as technical contributions on providing
solutions to interoperability, integration, and interconnection of
heterogeneous IoT systems, at any level.

(under setting)
Review Process and Publication
All original submitted manuscripts will be peer-reviewed.
Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical
strength, significance, presentation, quality, interest and relevance
to workshop scope. We also welcome papers reporting on
industrial deployment experiences, case studies, and lessons
learned. After review, some submissions may be offered to be
published as short papers (six pages). Accepted papers will be part
of the IoTDI 2016 proceedings published by published by the
IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing.
Journal Special Issue
Selected papers presented at the conference will be invited to a
special issue organized in a premier International Journal (with
SCI Index) that is under selection and/or in the Springer Series on
Internet of Things.
