The Internet of Things (IoT) enables large numbers of previously unconnected devices to communicate and share and exchange data and deal with services that span industries from agriculture and energy to transport, healthcare and much more, with the potential for significant benefits to people and quality of life. The IoT would enable a range of new capabilities and services far beyond today’s offerings which will radically change the life styles. It is anticipated that the number of objects connected to the Internet can reach 25 billion by 2016 and 50 billion by 2020.  The scale of the IoT is set to have a major economic, social and environmental impacts; the intersection of which forms the future sustainable growth. The IoT-SP-2016 aims at soliciting original ideas on the broad area of IoT including challenges and opportunities, concepts and applications and future trends.
Thus, the main goal of IoT-SP-2016 is to advance the state-of-the-art in the design and analysis of IoT paradigms. This will have a direct impact on the quality of life and will provide efficient and environment-friendly development in which there is harmony between economic growth, human development and environmental protection. The workshop seeks original, unpublished high impact research manuscripts on all topics related to the development of the IoT. Papers are selected on the basis of novelty, technical merit, presentation effectiveness and impact of results.
The submitted papers should be in English in accordance with IEEE format, and will be reviewed by at least three expert reviewers in terms of relevance, originality, contribution, correctness, and presentation. All accepted papers will be submitted for publication to IEEE Xplore.
