[agents] [Call for Workshops & Tutorials] The 14th International Conference on the Internet of Things (IoT 2024)

[Anlan Zhang]

The 14th International Conference on the Internet of Things (IoT 2024) will
take place on November 19-22, 2024, in Oulu, Finland. The IoT Conference is
the premier gathering for visionary and groundbreaking research in IoT and
closely-related fields. It connects world-class researchers with leading
industry experts to steer innovation in multiple IoT verticals (e.g., smart
industry, smart city/urban, smart health, smart environment). Since its
start in 2008, the conference has been backed by strong support from
leading academic institutions as well as industry. The workshops and
tutorials at IoT Conference 2024 will take place on November 19 in Oulu,
Finland.

The objective of the IoT 2024 workshop program is to provide additional
forums for discussing novel ideas related to IoT subareas and to stimulate
and facilitate active exchange, interaction, and comparison of approaches,
methods, and ideas related to IoT. The goal is to have a balanced program
combining emerging and established topics. Workshops and tutorials should
provide an informal and vibrant forum for researchers and industry
practitioners to share their research results and practical experiences.
Call for Workshops

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 canceled 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.
