Deadline is approaching *March 25*, 2012. -- The INCoS 2012 proceedings will be published by IEEE Conference Publishing Service in the form of CD-ROM with ISBN, and will be accessible on-line. All accepted submissions including IFIoT workshop papers will be included in the proceedings of the conference. [Call for Papers] First International Workshop on Intelligent Future Internet of Things (IFIoT-2012) http://www.derby.ac.uk/computing/research/ifiot2012 in conjunction with the 4th IEEE International Conference on INTELLIGENT NETWORKING AND COLLABORATIVE SYSTEMS (INCoS 2012) September 19-21, 2012, Bucharest, Romania http://voyager.ce.fit.ac.jp/~incos2012/ Aims and Scope The first International Workshop on Intelligent Future Internet of Things (IFIoT-2012) is dedicated to the dissemination of completed or work in progress original contributions that are related to the theories, practices and concepts of the emerging intelligent future Internet and specifically, the Intelligent Future Internet of Things (IF-IoT). During the last years, IoT has emerged as one of the most important paradigms with regards of the future state of Internet. Its importance is described in terms of providing a different lens on how to link data and hardware resources as well as services that can be available from the Internet; these further focus on how to link the Internet with real world’s objects. As such the IoT paradigm postulates that any object that is identified with a unique identifier will be considered as a smart object able to be interconnected. Those objects can be transformed in ways that they can be understood better by reacting to and with their environment in a more advanced and meaningful manner. On this basis, future Internet and IoT deals with integrating and enabling several technologies and communication protocols including but not limited to wired and wireless communications, networking, tracking technologies, localization, sensors and next generation Internet. Although being a very promising area, future Internet and IoT pose several challenges including but not limited to modeling and implementation issues such as architectures, interoperability, middleware, and so on. IFIoT-2012 scope is to discuss these issues as well as to highlight that such interconnection will lead to several implications including storage and processing challenges as well as resources utilization leading to a more intelligent future internet for the benefit of users and enterprises. With this in mind, IFIoT-2012 aims to provide a forum for original discussion and prompt future directions in the emerging area. Topics: The main topic areas include, but are not limited to: o Internet of Things, Architecture, Components, RFID, Sensors and Actuator Technologies o Inter-networking and Radio Access Protocols, Technologies, Near Field Communications o Inter-operability and Inter-cooperative Protocols, Standards and Technologies o Artificial Intelligence, Classifier, Self-adaptive Ant Colony, Swarm and Evolutionary Agents o Data/Text Mining, Data Clustering, Data Graphs and Visualization o Social Networks for Things, Social Graphs of Things, Link Analysis, Web of Things, Topic Maps o Ad-Hoc Networks, RF Modelling, Digital Object and Context Representation and Preservation o Meta-Data, Annotation, Ontologies, Tagging, Semantic Web, Web Services, Multi-Agents o Service Architectures, Discovery, Retrieval, Scheduling, Allocation, Monitoring o Enabling Computational Technologies (Clusters, Grids, P2P, Cloud, etc) o Data Centres, Real-time and (Historical) Data Management, Big Data o Data Visualization and Integration Paradigms, Linked Open (Object) Data, Cloud Diagrams o Crowd Sourcing, Crowd Dynamics, Crowd Source Data Modelling, Management and Analysis o Context-Aware Infrastructures and Services, Smart Objects, Positioning Location-Based Services o Security, Privacy, Identity, Trust and Reputation Management, Collective Behaviour and Ethical Issues o Applications, Services and Business Models, Strategies, Interaction Paradigms o Middleware, Languages, Components, Programs and Portals o Performance, Scalability, Robustness, Reliability Verification, Validation, Benchmarking o Concepts and/or Frameworks of Applicable Future Technologies, Implications and Trends Submission Submitted papers must be original and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Authors are invited to submit their 4 to 6 pages long manuscripts (with up to 5 keywords) following the IEEE 8.5 two-column format. You can find instructions to format the Proceedings Manuscript, at the following web page: http://www.computer.org/portal/site/cscps/ Full submission guidelines are available from: http://voyager.ce.fit.ac.jp/~incos2012/submission.html To submit, you must follow the instructions, and select the IFIoT-2012 workshop among the options. All papers will be peer reviewed by at least two or more independent referees of the IFIoT-2012 Workshop programme committee and accepted on the basis of their scientific merit, originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. Presented papers at IEEE IFIoT-2012 international workshop will be considered for publication in a book volume or in a Special Issue in a refereed International Journal. Proceedings The INCoS 2012 proceedings will be published by IEEE Conference Publishing Service in the form of CD-ROM with ISBN, and will be accessible on-line. All accepted submissions including IFIoT workshop papers will be included in the proceedings of the conference. All accepted papers must be accompanied by a full paid registration by at least one of the authors in order to be included in the proceedings.
