International Conference on Internet of Things (ICIOT 2021)
http://iciot.org/2021 , December 10 - 14, 2021

Theme: IOT Services for Digital Transformation

With the rapid advancements of mobile Internet, cloud computing and big data, device-centric traditional Internet of Things (IoT) is now moving into a new era which is termed as Internet of Things Services (IOTS). In this era, sensors and other types of sensing devices, wired and wireless networks, platforms and tools, data processing/visualization/analysis and integration engines, and other components of traditional IoT are interconnected through innovative services to realize the value of connected things, people, and virtual Internet spaces. The way of building new IoT applications is changing. We indeed need creative thinking, long-term visions, and innovative methodologies to respond to such a change. The First International Conference on Internet of Things Services (ICIOT 2016) was created to continue promote research and application innovations in the field of internet of things around the world. Part of the SCF 2018, ICIOT 2018 was successfully held on June 25 - June 30, 2018, Seattle, USA. Part of the SCF 2019, ICIOT 2019 was successfully held on June 25 - 30, 2019, San Diego, USA. Part of the SCF 2020, ICIOT 2020 was successfully held on September 18 - 20, 2020 over the Internet. In 2021, we will celebrate our 2021 version of gathering, to strive to advance the largest international professional forum on IoT services.

ICIOT 2021 is a member of Services Conference Federation (SCF). SCF 2021 will have the following 10 collocated service-oriented sister conferences: 2021 International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2021), 2021 International Conference on Cloud Computing (CLOUD 2021), 2021 International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2021), 2021 International Conference on Big Data (BigData 2021), 2021 International Conference on AI & Mobile Services (AIMS 2021), and 2021 World Congress on Services (SERVICES 2021), 2021 International Conference on Internet of Things (ICIOT 2021), 2021 International conference on Cognitive Computing (ICCC 2021), 2021 International Conference on Edge Computing (EDGE 2021), and 2021 International Conference on Blockchain (ICBC 2021).

As the founding member of the Services Conference Federation (SCF), the first International Conference on Web Services (ICWS) was held in June 2003 in Las Vegas, USA. Meanwhile, the First International Conference on Web Services - Europe 2003 (ICWS-Europe 2003) was held in Germany in October 2003. ICWS-Europe'03 is an extended event of the 2003 International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2003) in Europe. In 2004, ICWS-Europe was changed to the European Conference on Web Services (ECOWS), which was held at Erfurt, Germany.

Sponsored by Services Society and Springer, SCF 2018 and SCF 2019 were held successfully in Seattle and San Diego, USA. SCF 2020 was held successfully online and in Shenzhen, China. To celebrate its 19-year-old birthday, SCF 2021 will be held on December 10 - 14, 2021.

ICIOT 2021 organizing committee invites you to participate in 2021 edition of ICIOT, to be held on December 10 - 14, 2021.

The technical program of ICIOT 2021 will include a Research Track, an Application Track, and a Short Paper Track. The ICIOT 2021 tracks seeks original, UNPUBLISHED research papers reporting substantive new work in various aspects of IOT technologies and applications. Research Track papers MUST clearly indicate their contributions to the field of IOT technologies, applications and solutions. All papers MUST properly cite related work in the field, such as those published in the proceedings of ICWS, SCC, CLOUD, AIMS, SERVICES, BigData, ICIOT, ICBC, EDGE, APSCC, ECOWS, and related journals including STBD, JWSR, STSC, STCC, STIOT and IJBPIM (see Literature Recommendations page).

ICIOT 2021 covers state-of-the-art technologies and best practices of IOT, as well as emerging standards and research topics which would define the future of internet of things.

Topics of interest to include, but are not limited to, the following:

- IoT Device Innovations
- IoT Services
- Industrial IoT
- 5G for IoT
- IFTTT Solutions for IoT
- IoT Applications
- IoT for Metaverse

All submitted manuscripts will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 program committee members. Accepted and presented papers from all ICIOT tracks will appear in the conference proceedings. Submitted Research Track and Application Track manuscripts will be limited to 15 (LNCS Proceedings style) pages and REQUIRED to be formatted using the LNCS Proceedings template ( WORD , Latex ). Submitted Short Paper track manuscripts will be limited to 8 (LNCS Proceedings style) pages. The authors can extend a maximum of 2 pages for each paper but will have to pay extra fees for each extra page. Unformatted papers and papers beyond the maximum page limit may not be reviewed. Electronic submission of manuscripts (in PDF or Word format) is required. Detailed instructions for electronic paper preparation and submission, panel proposals, tutorial proposals, workshop proposals, and review process can be found at conference site.
