Description:
The Internet of Things (IoT) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are at the center of today’s “smart” revolution where digital connectivity permeates everyday life and enables applications from tiny smart objects, smart wearables, smart cars, smart trucks, smart drones, smart buildings, and smart factories, all the way to smart transport and smart power systems and smart cities. In all of these applications, computer communications and networking play a key role to enable not just efficient low-latency communication, but also robust and resilient systems. Over the last decade, significant and exciting advances in computing and communication technologies have redefined the vision, frontiers, and challenges of IoT and CPS research. 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. CPS are physical and engineered systems whose operations are monitored, coordinated, controlled, and integrated by computing and communication. 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. Additional challenges lie in robustness and resilience, time sensitivity, resource constraints, heterogeneity, and human interaction with machines. To address all the challenges, theoretical and experimental approaches at both the network and system levels are invaluable. In this track, we invite submissions of research works with novel contributions of either type.
