Dear All,

Please find below a CFP for IEEE CoT 2016 (https://sites.google.com/site/ieeecot2016/). Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies.

IEEE CoT has a very highly qualified and well known committee, representing academia and industry in a balanced way. The committee members are from 20+ different countries.

===============================================================

IEEE CoT 2016 is co-located with 13th IEEE MASS, 10-13 October, 2016, Brasilia, Brazil.

===============================================================

SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP (https://sites.google.com/site/ieeecot2016/)

--------------------------------

Cloud of Things (CoT) is a new paradigm in future networking domain. CoT is the integration of cloud computing and Internet of Things (IoT), where more sophisticated services can be provided ubiquitously in multitude of domains. In the recent years, cloud and IoT have gained importance and a lot of work has been done in research and development as well as on industrial side. Practical solutions are being proposed now and it is the time where more scalable services can be created through the integration of these two inter-related and inter-depended paradigms. CoT can help providing solutions for smart cities, smart healthcare, smart agriculture, remote healthcare, Big Data, data mining, social networking, vehicles connected to the clouds, fog computing/edge computing, energy efficiency, and many more. This workshop focuses on all the aspects related to CoT.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

--------------------------------

The topics of interest are, but not limited to:

- CoT architectures and models - CoT and Big Data analytics - CoT resource management - Data and service management in CoT - CoT for smart cities - CoT for VANETs - Mobility management in CoT - Middleware technologies for CoT - Fog computing - Networking and interoperability issues in CoT - SLA management in CoT - Privacy and security in CoT - QoS/QoE in CoT - CoT in healthcare - Context-aware services in CoT - CoT for energy efficient solutions - Practical and industrial deployments using CoT - Best practices in CoT - Enabling semantic interoperability in CoT - Knowledge discovery and analytics - Reliability, availability, scalability - Protocols and algorithms for CoT

PAPER SUBMISSION: -------------------------

Submitted papers should be written in the English language, with a maximum page limit of 6 printed pages, including all the figures, references, and appendices. Papers longer than 6 pages will not be reviewed. Use the standard IEEE Conference templates for Microsoft Word or LaTeX formats found at: http://www. ieee.org/go/conferencepublishing/templates.

Do not use additional LaTeX commands or packages to override and change the default typesetting choices in the template, including line spacing, font sizes, margins, space between the columns, and font types. This implies that the manuscript must use 10 point Times font, two-column formatting, as well as all default margins and line spacing requirements as dictated by the original version of IEEEtran.cls version 1.8.

If you are using Microsoft Word to format your paper, you should use an unmodified version of the Microsoft Word IEEE Transactions template (US letter size). Regardless of the source of your paper formatting, you must submit your paper in the Adobe PDF format. The paper must print clearly and legibly, including all the figures, on standard black-and-white printers. Reviewers are not required to read your paper in color.

More information and template downloads can be found at the IEEE MASS main page.

Paper submission process: -------------------------------

All papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format through EDAS. If the submitting author does not have an account, a personal account on EDAS needs to be created. When submitting the paper, a title, all the co-authors, and an abstract of up to 200 words should be provided in EDAS. CoT 2016 Paper Submission Link:
