CALL FOR PAPERS

Large-scale Internet of Things: Theory and Practice

Internet of Things (IoT), as an ecosystem that interconnects physical objects with telecommunication networks, introduces a tighter connection between the cyber space and the physical reality and will develop toward large-scale and ubiquitous directions, imposing increasingly higher requirements on safety, reliability, security, energy-efficiency, performance, robustness and cost-efficiency. It also poses new problems and challenges due to its intrinsic feature of large scale, in terms of spatial and temporal distribution, information amount, energy consumption, interfaces, functionalities, etc. These unprecedented challenging issues are across the disciplines of embedded system, manufacturing, telecommunication, computing, sensing, software engineering, data management and analysis. Emerging and advanced communication technologies (e.g., cloud-based radio access networks) introduce many new opportunities to tackle the challenging issues in large-scale ubiquitous IoT.

To address such challenges in large-scale IoT, besides requiring intelligent algorithms for data collection and analysis, efficient network diagnosis and management, we need new analytical tools, fundamental mathematics beyond the confines of traditional communication and information theories, and even methodologies from other networking related fields like economics, biology, and thermodynamics, to shed light on the fundamental performance limit of large scale IoT system and to guide the design, implementation, development, and optimization of emerging IoT technologies.

Topics of interests include (but are not limited to) the following categories: • Networking architectures and protocols for software-defined large-scale IoT • Applications, e.g., RFID for supply chain management, sensors for smart city etc. • Machine-to-Machine communications • Safety, privacy and security in large-scale IoT • Smart-grid, robot networks, unmanned aerial vehicles, vehicular networks • Performance modeling, evaluation, and optimization for large-scale IoT • Energy-efficient and cost-efficient algorithms, systems and protocol design • Analysis of spectrum efficiency, capacity, and energy efficiency for large-scale IoT • Experimental testbed, prototype design and implementation • Cloud-assisted wireless networks, data management and processing
