April 20-23, 2020 (Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE France Section) *IoTNAT 2020 CFP* The Internet of Things (IoT) technology offers unprecedented opportunities to interconnect human beings as well as Machine-to-Machine (M2M), whereby sensors and networks allow all ‘things’ to communicate directly with each other to share vital information allowing us to have an instrumented universe where accurate data is readily available to inform optimal decision making. The IoT is about to enable a range of new capabilities and services far beyond today’s offerings. It will fundamentally change how people go about their lives. According to Gartner, the number of objects connected to the Internet is set to reach 20 billion by 2020. Cisco estimates the number will be close to 26 billion objects by 2020. Others believe the actual number will be even higher with the assumption that any object with a simple micro controller and on-off switch will be connected to the Internet in the near feature. The scale of the IoT is set to have a major economic, social and environmental impacts; the intersection of which forms the future sustainable growth.

An edge system is composed of any computing and networking resources along the path between data sources and cloud data centers. Depending on the specific computing needs, edge computing devices can use either a wireless or a wired connection to exchange messages with the data sources. IoT devices and sensors can then exploit the hierarchical structure of the edge and cloud system to analyze the collected data and provide useful information to users in a timely manner. For example, wearable sensors could use the computing resources of the user’s smartphone, laptop, or even smart vehicle to analyze the collected data. Because a large majority of edge devices are battery operated and have limited connectivity, the energy efficiency of computation becomes critical. To this end, it is important to minimize the energy consumption of all the components of an edge system, including sensors, IoT devices, edge nodes, and network devices while guaranteeing the desired performance. For this special issue we solicit original experimental, conceptual, and theoretical contributions on the following topics related to energy-efficient edge computing: - energy-aware application placement and offloading - energy-aware resource management - energy-aware data management - energy-aware edge2cloud coordination - energy-aware sensing for edge computing systems - energy-efficient hardware architectures for edge computing and devices - energy-efficient edge computing for AI applications - energy-efficient edge computing applications - edge computing powered by distributed renewable energy resources - energy-efficient vehicular edge computing - energy-efficient edge computing for autonomous robots - energy-efficient networks for edge computing Submission Guidelines: ---------------------- Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts via the online system (https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tsusc-cs). The manuscript must follow the IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Computing author guidelines (https://www.computer.org/web/tsusc/author). When submitting the manuscript please select the special issue on Energy-Efficient Edge Computing.

Industrial agriculture has many advantages. For example, the use of specialized machinery lightens farmer’s labor intensity. Large-scale monoculture crops planting and intensive farming achieve higher food yields with lower price. In plant factory, the cultivation environment can be artificially controlled, so the vegetables grow faster than in outdoor conditions. However, industrial agriculture also causes some negative impacts on ecological system due to the high energy consumption and serious environmental degradation. Tractors, combines, cultivators and other agricultural machinery not only consume much fossil fuels but also degrade soil. The use of too much synthetic fertilizers and pesticides contaminate local rivers and water sources. Water is often overused in the irrigation stage. Industry 4.0, that built on leading-edge technologies, will be a transforming force to reshape the industrial agriculture. Through wireless sensor network, unmanned aerial vehicle and satellite imagery, the ubiquitous sensing can collect valuable data during food production. Precision agriculture helps to save use of fertilizer and water. Solar photovoltaic power harvesting and wireless energy transfer is a key approach to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels. Smart microclimate control in greenhouse and plant factory enables deep understanding on the interaction between gene, environment and phenotype. Artificial intelligence and big data makes the industrial agriculture more intelligent. This special section on “Sustainable and Intelligent Industrial Agriculture” is to provide a forum for researchers from diverse interdisciplinary areas to present their latest achievements in industrial agriculture. *This special section will focus on (but not limited to) the following topics:* ● Artificial intelligence and machine learning for smart industrial agriculture ● Connectivity, localization and autonomous driving of agricultural machinery network ● Precision agriculture with sensor, drones, remote sensing and Internet of Things ● Design, development and application of agricultural system with Industry 4.0 ● Blockchain, big data for digital farming: theory and application ● Energy harvesting and wireless power transfer in industrial agriculture ● Next generation 5G mobile networks for industrial agriculture ● Ontology-driven plant phenomics information system ● Robotics, guidance and automation for agriculture ● Case study of sustainable and intelligent industrial agriculture ● Security and privacy for green IoT-based agriculture *Manuscript Preparation and Submission* Follow the guidelines in “Information for Authors” in the IEEE Transaction on Industrial Informatics http://www.ieee-ies.org/pubs/transactions-on-industrial-informatics .

April 20-23, 2020 (Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE France Section) *IoTNAT 2020 CFP* The Internet of Things (IoT) technology offers unprecedented opportunities to interconnect human beings as well as Machine-to-Machine (M2M), whereby sensors and networks allow all ‘things’ to communicate directly with each other to share vital information allowing us to have an instrumented universe where accurate data is readily available to inform optimal decision making. The IoT is about to enable a range of new capabilities and services far beyond today’s offerings. It will fundamentally change how people go about their lives. According to Gartner, the number of objects connected to the Internet is set to reach 20 billion by 2020. Cisco estimates the number will be close to 26 billion objects by 2020. Others believe the actual number will be even higher with the assumption that any object with a simple micro controller and on-off switch will be connected to the Internet in the near feature. The scale of the IoT is set to have a major economic, social and environmental impacts; the intersection of which forms the future sustainable growth. The IEEE International Workshop on Internet of Things: Networking Applications and Technologies (IoTNAT 2020) Symposium will be held in conjunction with The 5th International Conference on Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC 2020). The IoTNAT 2020 Symposium aims at soliciting original ideas on the broad area of IoT including challenges and opportunities, concepts and applications and future trends. The Symposium aims to facilitate discussions among academics and IoT practitioners and make positive contributions to the field. Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished manuscripts. Submitted papers should be in accordance with IEEE format, and will be reviewed by at least two expert reviewers in terms of relevance, originality, contribution, correctness, and presentation. *The topics of interest include but are not limited to:* Emerging concepts of IoT Design methodologies for IoT Novel services and applications of IoT to facilitate environmental responsibility Green by Internet of Things IoT and Social benefits/impact IoT Economics Emerging Internet of Things business models and process changes Communication systems and network architectures for the IoT IoT and Data Management Security and privacy of IoT Reliability of IoT Disaster recovery in IoT Applications of Internet of things Emerging applications and interaction paradigms for everyday citizens Big data and IoT Self-organizing IoT Cloud Computing and IoT IoT and sustainable Growth *Submission* Papers selected for presentation will appear in the IoTNAT and FMEC Proceedings, which will be submitted to IEEE Xplore for inclusion.
