******************************************************************* IoTech - International Workshop on Internet of Things Technology and Architectures Workshop date: October 11, 2012 (Co-located with [1]IEEE MASS 2012, Las Vegas, Nevada, US) IoTech site: [2]http://iotech-ws.com *******************************************************************

In recent years, wireless sensors and mobile technologies have experienced a tremendous upsurge. Advances in hardware design and micro-fabrication have made it possible to potentially embed sensing and communication devices in every object, from banknotes to bicycles, leading to the vision of the Internet of Things (IoT). It is expected that physical objects in the near future will create an unprecedented network of interconnected physical things able to communicate information about themselves and/or their surroundings and also capable of interacting with the physical environment where they operate. Key peculiarities of IoT are the extremely large number of devices and their capability of seamlessly communicating via the Internet Protocol, which is expected to make IoT technology pervasive. IoTech will tackle technical issues related to fundamental as well as applied research on Internet of Things. Our intention is being inclusive, gathering practitioners, implementors and researchers with differing backgrounds and expertise to foster technical discussion and collaborations among IoT technology. For this second edition we would like to emphasize two aspects: 1) on the one side, the ability to scavenge energy to facilitate a sustainable IoT; and 2) on the other side, the coexistence of different technologies in the IoT, e.g., (low-power) WiFi, IEEE 802.15.4 (and its many variants), LTE Femtocells as gateway access points, mixed wired and wireless network setups.

TOPICS OF INTEREST * Energy efficient device architectures: emphasis will be given on novel hardware designs, especially exploiting or integrating systems for energy harvesting. * Energy driven network design: emphasis will be given to papers dealing with self-sufficient devices with energy harvesting capabilities. * Reference and concrete communication architectures for IoTs: emphasis will be given on the capability of scaling up to a large number of communicating devices. * Communication protocol suites for energy constrained devices: theoretical investigation, design, implementation and experimental validation. * Optimization and improvement of standard protocols for specific application domains, e.g., smart energy metering, for their usage within IoT domains. * Lightweight signal processing techniques for smart objects, e.g., distributed Source Coding, Compressive Sensing, Lossless and lossy compression, etc.
