Call details
============
The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm enables the development of new services 
and mass market applications in multiple domains such as mobile marketing, 
social networks, smart cities, health care, and business processes. 

These applications consume high-level context data computed by processing and 
filtering numerous raw context data collected from the physical environment.

Those applications are based upon cooperating services, which have to be 
designed and dynamically composed. For instance, those services manage 
heterogeneous context data, distribute both processing and flows of data, manage
the quality of context for appropriate decision-making, enhance privacy of 
personal context data, and identify situations from data coming both from the 
IoT and from knowledge bases.  

Providing context-aware applications in the IoT necessitates the interaction of
numerous heterogeneous services deployed in a multiscale complex distributed 
architecture. 

Topics of interest
==================

  -  Middleware to transport and transform data from tiny sensors to 
  context-aware applications
  -  Composition and interoperability of IoT services
  -  Distribution of IoT services among mobile devices, sensors and computers in
  the cloud
  -  Complex Event processing for the IoT
  -  Services on the cloud for the IoT
  -  Middleware for context-awareness and location-awareness
  -  Models and middleware to provide IoT services to context-aware applications
  -  Testbeds for context-aware applications in the IoT
  -  Semantic web services for the IoT
  -  Discovery and capability matching for the IoT
  -  Privacy and QoC (Quality of Context) aware capabilities for the IoT 

Workshop co-chairs

Submission
==========
The required format for the submission is the ACM SIG Proceedings Standard 
Style.

Papers should describe original research (not submitted or published elsewhere) 
and be not more than six pages in length, including the abstract, all figures, 
tables, and references.

Submitted papers should adhere to the formatting instructions of the ACM 
Standard Style. The author kit containing the templates for the required style 
can be found here: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates

Papers must be submitted in PDF format via the submission site: 
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=m4iot2015

Publication
===========
All accepted papers will appear in a Middleware 2015 companion proceedings, 
which will be available in the ACM Digital Library.

===========
AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: The official publication date is the date the proceedings are
made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks 
prior to the first day of your conference. The official publication date affects
the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. (For those rare 
conferences whose proceedings are published in the ACM Digital Library after the
conference is over, the official publication date remains the first day of the 
conference.)
