IoT 2024 invites full-day and half-day workshop proposals with a clearly defined scope that falls in the general topics of the conference.

The organizers of accepted workshops will be responsible for workshops’ reviewing processes and publicity with support from IoT 2024 general chairs, which will announce all accepted workshops as collocated events on the conference website and via its publicity channels. IoT 2024 will publish accepted workshop papers in companion proceedings to the conference’s main proceedings.

Workshop paper authors will be required to register for the full conference. At the discretion of the chairs, workshops may be cancelled if organizers have not registered in a timely manner or if a workshop has received too few submissions. In the latter case we encourage the organizers to consider merging their workshop with another fitting workshop under a broader theme. Workshop organizers will receive one complimentary full conference registration.

Topics of Interest

IoT 2024 solicits workshop proposals on all topics related to the development and adoption of the Internet of Things—topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Scalable IoT Architectures including Semantic Interoperability and the Web of Things
• Edge AI and edge computing applications and technologies
• Novel IoT Communication Technologies and Protocols
• Energy Efficiency and Sustainability in IoT including carbon-awareness, battery-less and biodegradable computing
• Small and Large-scale pilots of IoT Sensing, Signal Processing, Actuation and Analytics
• Safety, Security and Privacy Risks and Guarantees in IoT and Cyber-Physical Systems
• Database and Distributed Ledger Technologies for IoT
• Human Interaction with IoT IoT-enhanced AR/VR/MR, Metaverse, and Games
• Cyber-Physical Systems, Digital Twins and Inter-Realities
• Large-Scale IoT Analytics and Internet of Behaviors
• Transient Large-Scale Networks including V2V or V2X
• Real-world IoT Deployments, Testbeds and Datasets
• Novel IoT Applications in Industry (e.g., manufacturing, agriculture, business processes, robotics, etc. ) including networked intelligent production systems
• GenAI and Large Language Models (LLMs) in IoT Ecosystems
• Novel IoT Applications for Environmental Sensing and Disaster Response
• Societal Impacts and Ethical Implications of IoT

Workshop Proposal Submission Instructions

Workshop proposals should be submitted no later than June 28 August 12, 2024 to iot2024workshops@gmail.com, and will be subject to a rolling acceptance process. Organizers should submit a 200 words abstract, along with a single PDF file of 4 pages maximum (including references), containing the following sections:

• Title, acronym, potentially logo
• Topics of interest covered by the workshop
• Motivation: Why is the topic of particular interest to a reasonable fraction of the IoT community and, if applicable, relevant to the suggested topic areas?
• Organization and Format: Description of the intended organization, the selection process for the contributors, and schedule of the event
• If applicable, a brief discussion of the workshop’s history (experiences, number of submissions and attendees, etc.)
• If applicable, evidence that there is an existing community of researchers and practitioners that are susceptible to contribute to this event, including references to work relating to the core topic of the workshop that are not co-authored by the organizers
• Alternatively, arguments for the formation of a new community of research. The proposal should then include a discussion of the importance of such a new formation and outreach to relevant areas of research within the scope of IoT 2024.
• Chairs: Name, affiliation, email address, homepage and a short biography of each chair, explaining the chair’s expertise and experience relevant for the workshop
• Program Committee: Names and affiliations of potential PC members

Acceptance Criteria of Workshop Proposals

A limited number of workshop proposals will be accepted to IoT 2024. Each proposal will be evaluated based on the quality of the proposal and its appeal to the IoT community. Proposals should demonstrate the following:

• The workshops topics fall in the general scope of IoT 2024.
• There is a clear identity and a focus on a specific problem, application area, or technology.
• There are sufficient researchers and practitioners that are willing and able to contribute to and participate in the event.
• The organization and format are appealing for potential contributors and participants.

In case overlapping workshops are proposed, the Workshop Chairs may contact the organizers to discuss the possibility of merging workshops.
