[Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The 13th IEEE International Conference on Internet of Things Rhodes Island, Greece November 02-06, 2020 http://cse.stfx.ca/~cybermatics/2020/ithings/ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ----------------------- INTRODUCTION ----------------------- As an emerged promising networking model, the Internet-of-Things (IoT) is a novel paradigm to interconnect a multitude of heterogeneous physical objects and devices. The IoT significantly provides an umbrella for a series of critical building technologies including wireless sensor networks (WSNs), fifth generation (5G) networks, and RFID. The philosophy of the IoT is to develop an intelligent, dynamic, large-scale, and coherent network framework for a wide range of applications and industries. Due to its potential advantages and merits such as high reliability, good scalability and intelligent capacity, the IoT has attracted great attentions and interests from both academia and industry. As the earliest IEEE international conference on Internet of Things, the 2020 IEEE International Conference on Internet of Things (iThings-2020) will provide a high-profile, leading-edge forum for researchers, engineers, and practitioners from both academic and industrial communities to present state-of-the-art advances and innovations in theories, systems, infrastructure, tools, testbeds, technologies and applications for the IoT, as well as to identify emerging research topics and define the future of everything interconnect via cyberspace. ---------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES ---------------------------- Paper Submission Deadline: July 15, 2020 Authors Notification: August 15, 2020 Camera-Ready Paper Due: September 02, 2020 Conference Date: November 02 - 06, 2020 ------------------------------------- ORGANIZING COMMITTEE -------------------------------------
