The Future Internet paradigm, the proliferation of emerging networks and architectures, wireless access technologies and multi-homing smart devices are evolving towards a competitive environment, where users and devices have access to various resources, while their behaviors become strongly interdependent. This fact demands and motivates the development of user-centric resource management and optimization frameworks, which enable user's self-optimization and autonomy. This vision is further motivated and supported by the convergence of various emerging technologies enabling Cyber-Physical Systems operation, including 5G/B5G/6G technologies, Internet of Things (IoT), Mobile Edge Computing and Software Defined Networking, all targeting flexibility and efficiency. To deal with the involved complexity, and driven by the requirements of autonomy and scalability, distributed resource orchestration approaches appear as a necessity rather than a desire. The REFRESH Workshop aims at to stimulate research on the most novel topics of real-life modeling in 5G/6G networks and beyond.

IoT produces and communicates massive amounts of data that need to be filtered, analyzed, and processed. In industrial environments (i.e., Industry 4.0 and 5.0) as well as in smart cities, communication between connected devices requires high reliability, low latency, and sufficient scalability. Several technologies such as BLE, Zigbee, Wireless HART, IEEE Std 802.15.4 TSCH, 6TiSCH, LPWAN (LoRa, Sigfox, NB-IoT, LTE-M, etc.), and RAW have been proposed to tackle these communication requirements. The 5G network provides not only increased data rates but also ultra-low data latency communication for critical IoT applications that require extreme reliability. 5G enables Machine Type Communication (MTC), which is used by mobile network operators, equipment vendors, MTCspecialist companies, and research bodies. The high-traffic demand, low-latency, and deterministic delivery requirements stemming from IoT and machine-to-machine (M2M) communications can be met only with radical changes to current communication and networking architectures. Recently, Fog and Edge computing has been proposed to mitigate the heavy burden on the network due to the centralized processing and storing of the massive IoT data. Fog/Edge-enabled IoT architectures ensure closer processing in proximity to the things, which results in small, deterministic latency that enables real-time applications and enforced security. *Topics of Interest* - Blockchain technology for IoTs - Federated Learning for IoT networks - B5G Networks and IoT - IoT Security, Trust, and trustworthy - Secure and privacy-preserving IoT communications - IoT and Personal Data Protection - Artificial Intelligence and IoT - IoT Large Scale Pilots and Portability - IoT Interoperability and Multi-Platform Integration - SDN, NFV and IoT - Intelligent sensor and actuator networks - Emerging IoT Protocols and Standards - Ultra-low-power IoT Technologies and Embedded Systems Architectures - Wearables, Body Sensor Networks, Smart Portable Edge Devices - Design Space Exploration Techniques for IoT Devices and Systems - Heterogeneous Networks, Web of Things, Web of Everything - Named Data Networking for IoT - Internet of Nano Things - IoT Data Management, Mining and Analytics - Distributed IoT Storage and management - Routing and Control Protocols - Resource Management, Resource Allocation, - Medium Access Control - Mobility, Localization and Management Aspects - Identity Management and Object Recognition - Localization Technologies - Edge Computing, Fog Computing and IoT - Fog/Edge Caching techniques for IoT - Machine to Machine (M2M)/Devices-to-Devices communications and IoT - Industrial IoT and Factory of Things and IoTs - Emerging Technologies for the Industrial IoT - Application of Fog/Edge computing to IoT: architectures and implementations - Autonomic Computing for IoTs - Connected Car, Automotive, Intelligent Transport - Cooperative Computing for IoTs - Cooperative IoT and Sensor Systems - Design principles and best practices for IoT application development - Dynamic scheduling, power control, interference management, and QoS - Standards-based IoT large scale pilots/demonstrators - Interoperability methodologies for heterogeneous IoT - IoT big data management and predictive analysis - IoT for smart manufacturing (industry 5.0) and smart spaces - IoT standards platforms interworking - Horizontal application development for IoT - IoT Networks crowdsensing - Mobility, Localization and context-adaptive IoT *How to Submit* All papers for technical symposia should be submitted via EDAS: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=28485.
