The<br>integration of these smart objects into the Internet originated the concept of Internet of Things<br>(IoT). The IoT vision advocates a world of interconnected objects, capable of being identified,<br>addressed, controlled, and accessed via the Internet. Such objects can communicate with<br>each other, with other virtual resources available on the web, with information systems and<br>human users. IoT applications involve interactions among several heterogeneous devices,<br>most of them directly interacting with their physical surroundings.<br><br>New challenges emerge in this scenario as well as several opportunities to be exploited. One<br>of such opportunities regards the leveraging of the massive amount of data produced by the<br>widely-spread sensors to produce value-added information for the end users. In this context,<br>techniques to promote knowledge discovery from the huge amount of sensing data are<br>required to fully exploit the potential usage of the IoT devices. In this context, data fusion<br>techniques are data techniques dealing with the association, correlation, and combination of<br>data and information from single and multiple sources to achieve refined position and identity<br>estimates, and complete and timely assessments of situations and threats, and their<br>significance. Since IoT data is usually dynamic and heterogeneous, it becomes important to<br>investigate techniques for understanding and resolving issues about data fusion in IoT.<br>Employment of such Data fusion techniques are useful to reveal trends in the sampled data,<br>uncover new patterns of monitored variables, make predictions, thus improving decision<br>making process, reducing decisions response times, and enabling more intelligent and<br>immediate situation awareness.<br><br>The goal of this Workshop is to present and discuss the recent advances in the<br>interdisciplinary data fusion research areas applied to IoT. We aim to bring together<br>specialists from academia and industry in different fields to discuss further developments and<br>trends in the data fusion area.<br><br>Topics appropriate for this workshop include (but are not necessarily limited to):<br><br>• Data collection and abstraction in IoT<br>• Knowledge fusion in IoT<br>• Machine learning, data mining and fusion for IoT<br>• Data streams fusion in IoT<br>• Data models for IoT<br>• Fusion models for IoT<br>• Subjective Logic applied to IoT<br>• Dynamic analysis in IoT<br>• Social data fusion and social IoT<br>• Probabilistic reasoning in IoT<br>• Decision systems in IoT<br>• Web data fusion<br>• Image Fusion<br>• Tracking<br><br>The submission dates are:<br><br>• Submission Due: 10 July 2017<br>• Author Notification: 10 August 2017<br>• Camera-ready Paper Due: 15 August 2017<br><br>Authors are invited to submit their original research work that has not previously been<br>published or under review in any other venue. Papers should be prepared in IEEE CS<br>Proceedings format and submitted via EDAS systems.<br>Research papers should explore a specific technology problem and propose a complete<br>solution to it.
