*IoTSMS 2021 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. The number of objects connected to the
Internet is set to reach 30.9 billion by 2025. Cisco estimates the number
will be close to 25 billion objects by 2025. Others believe the actual
number will be even higher with the assumption that any object with a
simple microcontroller and on-off switch will be connected to the Internet
in the near future. The scale of the IoT is set to have a major economic,
social and environmental impact; the intersection of which forms the future
sustainable growth. The IEEE Internet of Things: Systems, Management and
Security (IoTSMS 2021) aims at soliciting original ideas on the broad area
of IoT including challenges and opportunities, concepts and applications
and future trends. The IoTSMS 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 Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished manuscripts.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.

Researchers are encouraged to submit original research contributions in all
major areas, which include, but not limited to:

* Emerging concepts of IoT Systems
* Architectures of IoT systems
* Machine-to-Machine Communication and IoT

*IMPORTANT DATES:*

*Submission Date: 20 September, 2021 (Firm and Final)*

Notification to Authors: 10 October, 2021

Camera Ready Submission: 30 October, 2021

*SUBMISSION*

Papers selected for presentation will appear in the IoTSMS Proceedings and
will be submitted to IEEE for inclusion. Papers can be up to 8 pages in
IEEE format, 10pt font using the IEEE 8.5" x 11" two-column format, single
space, A4 format. All papers should be in PDF format, and submitted
electronically at Paper Submission Link. A full paper must not exceed the
stated length (including all figures, tables and references). The
proceedings will be submitted for indexing to EI (Compendex), Scopus and
other indexing services like DBLP.

Submitted papers must present original unpublished research that is not
currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not
following these guidelines may be rejected without review. Also submissions
received after the due date, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately
structured may also not be considered. Authors may contact the Program
Chair for further information or clarification.


*JOURNAL-SPECIAL-ISSUE*

Selected authors of high quality papers will be invited to submit extended
versions to indexed and highly ranked journals, including Cluster Computing.
