++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 11th IEEE Conference on Internet of Things (iThings-2018) Halifax, July 30-August 03, 2018 http://cse.stfx.ca/~iThings2018/ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

INTRODUCTION --------------------- The Internet-of-Things (IoT) brings promising opportunities and challenges. It attracts great attentions, and has important economic and social values. IoT has played a key role in the next generation of information, network, and communication systems. Future IoT may bring us an era of “harmony of things with nature”, which means harmony fusion of Cyber, Physical, Social and Mental spaces. We will witness emancipation not only from onerous labor works brought by machine-human interface, but also from the spatial-temporal constrains in Physical-space, and will achieve substantial benefits from IT development.

The 2018 IEEE International Conference on Internet of Things (iThings 2018) will provide a high-profile, leading-edge forum for researchers, engineers, and practitioners 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.
