According to the vision underlying the IoT, the next step in increasing the ubiquity of the Internet is to connect inanimate objects. By providing objects with embedded communication capabilities and a common addressing scheme, a highly distributed and ubiquitous network of seamlessly connected heterogeneous devices is formed, which can be fully integrated into the current Internet and mobile networks. Thus, it allows for the development of new intelligent services available anytime, anywhere, by anyone and anything. When human interaction is absent from the system dynamics, the vision is also referred to as Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications. Many applications with high social and business impact fall under the IoT/M2M umbrella, including personal healthcare, smart grids, smart city, surveillance, home automation, intelligent transportation, and it is strongly expected that new applications will emerge once the enabling technologies reach a stable state. Presently, two of the most important challenges for the widespread use of IoT/M2M technologies are: i) architectures, protocols and algorithms for efficient interconnection of smart objects; and ii) the creation of value-added services enabled by the interconnection of smart objects. The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry to discuss recent advances in theory, application, and implementation of the IoT/M2M technologies, protocols, algorithms, and services. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - System architectures for IoT/M2M systems - Protocols and mechanisms for seamless IoT/M2M communications - Enabling standards and technologies for the IoT/M2M - Service platforms for IoT/M2M applications - Business models and processes for IoT/M2M applications - Energy optimization and sustainable operation of IoT/M2M devices - Access network issues; including mobility management, data dissemination and routing - Modeling and simulation of large-scale IoT/M2M scenarios - Experiences with experimental IoT/M2M system prototypes, pilots, and testbeds - Dependability, security and privacy in the IoT/M2M context - Performance, QoS and SLA in IoT/M2M scenarios - Industrial use cases showing gaps to be filled by future research - Novel and emerging IoT/M2M applications and case studies (eHealth, Smart Grids, Intelligent Transportation Systems, Smart Homes and Cities) PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal.

For instance, many types of sensor nodes equipped with communication modules are providing more and more information about industrial production, and managing this newly-accessible sensing information can help to reduce maintenance cost, by automatically identifying the status of modules to avoid system unprepared breakdowns. Moreover, recent innovations in cyber-physical systems interconnecting industrial elements have not only improved their own capabilities, but also enabled them to connect to other networks and to the Internet. Based on above-mentioned advances and innovations, sensing-based integrated intellectualization will be an inevitable process for industrial systems. This ongoing process is addressing complex problems, utilizing the large-scale integration of distributed resources and sensing data, improving the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of modern industrial production and applications, and overcoming one of the key weaknesses of industrial systems, decision making. New intelligent models, architecture, approaches, algorithms and solutions are needed to cope with the ever-increasing complexity of problems in modern industry, e.g., (i) cyber-physical component and device control problems, (ii) the energy consumption problems of equipment and productive processes, and (iii) the environmental pollution control problems of industrial production. This Special Section on "Industrial Sensing Intelligence" is to provide a forum for researchers to discuss and exchange their latest achievements in related industrial systems. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following research topics and technologies: - Innovative forecasting methods for solving complex problems in sensing-based modern industries, e.g., environmental protection - Integration, processing and analysis of sensing data from spatially-distributed sensors for intelligent control and decision making - Data mining and knowledge discovery based on Big Data analysis from the aspect of Industrial Internet of Things - Intelligent control, localization and navigation systems for assets, productive processes and productive participants with the help of Geographic Intelligence or other sensing information from the physical world - Standardization and test beds in the industrial sensing intelligence domain, for building automation systems, intelligent transport systems, energy management frameworks and structural monitoring infrastructure Papers discussing new application areas and the resulting new developments at the interface of industrial sensing intelligence are especially welcome.

Domain-specific sensing deployments in scenarios like industrial settings and home automation are becoming more and more ubiquitous, particularly with the advent of novel sensing platforms which allow for the seamless integration of sensing devices into everyday environments. At the same time, data gathered through wireless sensor network deployments empower applications in the emerging domains of smart cities and smart infrastructures. While enabling technologies have evolved into mature and widely available solutions, insights gathered from real-world sensor network deployments are still scarce and many practical issues in building sensor network applications persist. A thorough understanding of these challenges from a practical/systems perspective is still necessary. This especially applies to insights from the areas of hardware platforms of sensor and actuator nodes, their operating systems, the networking of nodes, and fresh perspectives from field trials and applications. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. It serves as a forum for the sensing network research communities working on embedded sensing systems to discuss open issues, novel solutions, and the future development of wireless sensing in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realms of wireless sensor networks, cyber-physical systems, smart spaces, the Internet of Things, and all related disciplines.
