IoT is revolutionizing the way we live! Experts and organizations are addressing the topic in policy statements, papers and conferences. There are many aspects to be looked at when talking about IoT.

Earlier developments were quite focused on the lower-level aspects such as interfacing, communication protocols and standards, base platforms, energy efficiency and energy harvesting, smart devices and smart sensors, etc. With the exponential growth of the number of devices and sensors connected to Internet and their increasing levels of embedded intelligence, other relevant challenges emerge, including organizational structures, collaborative cyber-physical ecosystems, end-user development, self-organizing systems, distributed decision making, collective adaptive and cognitive systems, behavioural models, systems resilience, handling big data, etc.

The IFIP International Internet of Things (IoT) Conference addresses this wide variety of aspects. Papers will show technical advancements, research on major questions, policy issues, and so on. Perspectives will be from the people and organizations involved (users, user organizations, ICT professionals, ICT industry, authorities / regulators) and from the phase of an IoT system or component (development, production / manufacturing, implementation, maintenance, management, use).

Main topics of interest (non-exhaustive list):

• Education, training, awareness
• End-user development
• Usability and accessibility
• Context-dependent applications
• Environmental issues
• Organizational and collaborative structures
• Risks, privacy, security, and resilience issues
• Societal Impact
• Technical issues and challenges
• IoT networks
• IoT architectures
• IoT devices
• IoT Low Power Design
• IoT Standards
• CAD for IoT
• Internet of Everything, People, Health, …
• Legal and Ethical issues
