OVERVIEW

===========

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a novel paradigm which is shaping the
evolution of the future Internet. According to the vision underlying the
IoT, the next step in increasing the ubiquity of the Internet, after
connecting people anytime and everywhere, 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 allowing for
the development of new intelligent services available anytime, anywhere, by
anyone and anything. Such a vision is also becoming known under the name of
Machine-to-Machine (M2M), where the absence of human interaction in the
system dynamics is further emphasized.



Many applications with high social and business impact fall under the
IoT/M2M umbrella, including personal healthcare, smart grid, surveillance,
home automation, intelligent transportation, while it is expected that new
ones will emerge once the enabling technologies reach a stable state. At
the moment, three of the most important challenges are: (1) Architectures,
protocols and algorithms for an efficient interconnection of smart objects,
both between themselves and with the (future) Internet. (2) The creation of
value-added services in cross-domain applications, especially open and
interoperable, enabled by the interconnection of things / machines / smart
objects, in such a way that they can be integrated with current and new
business and development processes. (3). Security, privacy and trust in the
IoT applications, for ensuring that the provided services will protect the
users’ data, provide guarantees that no malicious users/devices will affect
the system decisions and that the IoT applications will be secure and
privacy-preserving “by design”.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers
from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and
technical presentations on the recent advances in theory, application
and
implementation of the Internet of Things concept: Technologies, protocols,
algorithms, and services.
