Description:
The cyber physical networks and Internet of Things (IoT) are considered as key players in the networks of the future, which are envisioned to support numerous smart-world systems. With new advancements in computing technology leading to more processing power, storage, and communication capacity with very small scale components, connecting the corresponding devices in an efficient manner using the IoT architecture becomes a very important part of networking research. Numerous efforts are focusing on systems and protocols to build a powerful IoT. However, partly due to the large variations on the "things" in the Internet, IoT is still in an initial state. IoT is generally characterized by limited energy, computation and communication capacity, the presence of sensors in tiny objects, and the associated challenges, e.g., concerning security, energy efficiency, data caching, storage, and sharing. The emerging environment is further becoming more complex and challenging, due to the heterogeneity of the involved devices, resources and application domain, giving rise to several interesting aspects in the era of interoperability and flexibility. To address these, both theoretical and experimental approaches, at network and system levels are invaluable. In this track, we invite submissions of research works with novel contributions of either type.
