<br>
<br>
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a novel design paradigm, envisioned as a
network of billions or trillions of machines communicating with one
another and rapidly gaining global attention from academia, industry,
and government. IoT is recognized as one of the most important areas of
the future Internet; enabling ubiquitous computing among global
networked machines and physical objects. Equipped with auto
identification devices such a RFID tags in addition to sensors,
actuators and machine-to-machine (M2M) devices, IoT has applications in a
wide variety of areas such as smart grid, e-health, intelligent
transportation, and logistics.<br>
<br>
IEEE <span class="">WCNC</span> <span class="">2014</span> International <span class="">Workshop</span> on the Internet of Things<br>
Communications and Technologies follows the steps of the successful IEEE WiMob 2013 IoT <span class="">workshop</span>.
It aims to provide a forum that brings together researchers from
academia, practitioners from industry, standardization
bodies, and government to meet and exchange ideas on recent research and
future directions for the IoT. The technical discussion will be focused
on the communications aspects and key enabling technologies for IoT,
especially M2M communications and networking, RFID technology and Near
Field Communications (NFC). The technical topics of interest to the <span class="">workshop</span> include, but are not limited to:<br>
<br>
- IoT network infrastructure<br>
- IoT applications and services<br>
- IoT networking and communication<br>
- Channel and traffic models<br>
- Spectrum management for IoT radio communications<br>
- RFID, sensors, actuator technologies<br>
- Security and privacy issues for devices and services<br>
- Cloud computing interworking<br>
- Semantic technologies<br>
- Smart grids and smart space<br>
<br>
Author Guidelines<br>
<br>
The authors should follow the IEEE guidelines that apply to all <span class="">WCNC</span><br>
submissions when preparing their contributions (maximum paper length: 5 pages with 10-pt font). The submission website is:<br>
