The primary role of ICT in enabling this vision is to keep the decision makers, the stake holders and the citizen constantly updated with fresh information collected around the city. To accomplish this task, next generation cities, will be populated with billion of heterogeneous devices ranging from tiny communicating objects (e.g., actuators, sensors, tags) able to interact with the surrounding environment and remote systems, to high-end nodes (e.g., data centers, workstations) capable of complex operations and to process an huge amount of information. In this futuristic scenario a very special role is played by citizens with their smartphones, tablets and portable devices. They are constantly connected with whatever surroundings them and they are formidable information consumers. At the same time, citizens roaming around the city may be considered as mobile probes which, by making uses of cyber and physical data accessible by smartphones, can analyze the situation and produce reports to the community. Furthermore smartphones can actively contributing in creating the communication infrastructure by forwarding data coming from surrounding devices. All in all, cities are going to become a new complex ecosystem which has the potentiality to offer many amazing features and support innovative application. Unfortunately, fully exploiting, managing and accessing that ecosystem are still far to be fully viable and their fulfillment surely poses a formidable challenge. The SWANSITY workshop aims to solicit contributions on novel algorithms, methodological studies and experimentations on how to enable the formerly described ecosystem. Specifically, on how devise a city-wide networking infrastructure capable to efficiently guarantee communication in the new envisaged ecosystem, to manage the complexity of heterogeneous devices and access technologies, and to guarantee robust, ubiquitous, and secure connectivity over the urban environments. In line with such objectives, original contributions are solicited in topics of interest including, but not limited to, the following: - Models of network components?interactions on a smart-city - Enabling wireless and mobile technologies for smart cities - Novel communication protocols for M2M Communications; - Device-2-Device Communications (D2D); - IoT architectures and middleware for smart cities; - Self-organizing wireless networks for pervasive urban access; - Network virtualization for heterogeneous wireless networks; - Distributed Sensing and Control in Smart Cities; - Mobile-aware cloud computing models, infrastructures, and approaches for smart cities - Smartphone-based sensing systems, tools, applications in Smart City environments; - Smartphone and mobile systems and applications; - Cyber-physical interactions with smartphones; - Crowd sourcing in smart cities; - Dynamic trust management models for Smartphone based networks and applications; - Cooperation incentive models for Smartphone based networks and applications; - Reliability, Security, Privacy and Trust in smart cities ecosystems; - Business model to promote users collaboration and resources sharing in smart cities ecosystems; - Testbed demonstrating the feasibility of Smartphone based networks and interaction with Cyber physical Systems; - Applications, Business, Standards, and Social Issue; - Security models to promote Smartphone collaboration and resources sharing - Cooperative Smart Objects supporting Wireless Networks Interoperability and Management All accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services and IEEE Xplore Digital Library.

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.

Several factors have contributed to this development, e.g., hardware advances (devices are smaller, more powerful, and batteries last longer), the heterogeneity of end-points (a range of devices and "intelligent things"), different architectures (networks of networks, self-configuring, opportunistic and ad-hoc networks), enhancements in technology (mobile, wireless, Bluetooth, RFID, NFC) and the ever more networked society (devices are increasingly affordable and ubiquitous). Such developments have created new network paradigms such as Vehicular Networks, Body Area Networks, Personal Area Networks, Smart Camera Networks, Virtualized Networks, Service-oriented Networks, Home Area Networks, and Named Data Networks. Novelties in network architectures, technologies and applications raise numerous challenges in terms of risk and trust, and in the trade-off between them. This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners, and foment discussion on risk and trust in emerging networks and how to best defend against their misuse. We encourage different types of contributions - surveys, technical and empirical contributions. Topics of interest comprise but are not limited to: ======================================== Risk assessment Trust management Risk modelling, estimation, metrics Challenges, attacks, and solutions Novel architectures, topologies and technologies Results of simulation, and testbed of trust models New network paradigms and protocols Trade-off between risk and trust Workshop Chairs =============== Virginia N.
