The Internet of Things (IoT) technology offers unprecedented
opportunities to interconnect human beings as well as Machine-to-Machine
(M2M), whereby sensors and networks allow all ‘things’ to communicate
directly with each other to share vital information allowing us to have
an instrumented universe where accurate data is readily available to
inform optimal decision making. The IoT is about to enable a range of
new capabilities and services far beyond today’s offerings. It will
fundamentally change how people go about their lives. According to
Gartner, the number of objects connected to the Internet is set to reach
20 billion by 2020. Cisco estimates the number will be close to 26
billion objects by 2020. Others believe the actual number will be even
higher with the assumption that any object with a simple micro
controller and on-off switch will be connected to the Internet in the
near feature. 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 IEEE Internet of Things: Systems,
Management and Security (IoTSMS 2018) aims at soliciting original ideas
on the broad area of IoT including challenges and opportunities,
concepts and applications and future trends. The Symposium aims to
facilitate discussions among academics and IoT practitioners and make
positive contributions to the field. Authors are invited to submit
original, unpublished manuscripts. Submitted papers should be in
accordance with IEEE format, and will be reviewed by at least two expert
reviewers in terms of relevance, originality, contribution,
correctness, and presentation.</p>

<p>
We are pleased to invite you to submit original contributions to IoTSMS 2018 via the official submission system at <a href="https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iotsms2018" target="_blank">https://easychair.org/conferen<wbr>ces/?conf=iotsms2018</a>.
This can include, technical and experimental, theoretical, conceptual,
or a survey. All submissions will be peer-reviewed on the basis of
relevance, originality, importance and clarity.
<br>
</p><h4><u>Submissions Guidelines and Proceedings</u></h4>
Manuscripts should be prepared in 10-point font using the IEEE 8.5" x 11" two-column format (<a href="https://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html" target="_blank">IEEE Templates</a>).
All papers should be in PDF format, and submitted electronically at
Paper Submission Link. A full paper must not exceed the stated length
(including all figures, tables and references). Submitted papers must
present original unpublished research that is not currently under review
for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these
guidelines may be rejected without review. Also submissions received
after the due date, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately
structured may also not be considered. Authors may contact the Program
Chair for further information or clarification.
<br><br>
All submissions are peer-reviewed by at least three reviewers. Accepted
papers will appear in the IoTSMS Proceeding and to be submitted to IEEE
Xplore for inclusion. The proceedings are also submitted for indexing to
EI (Compendex), Scopus and other indexing services like DBLP.
<br><br>
Submitted papers must include original work, and must not be under
consideration for another conference or journal. Submission of regular
papers must not exceed 8 pages and must follow the IEEE paper format.
Please include up to 7 keywords, complete postal and e-mail address, and
fax and phone numbers of the corresponding author. Authors of accepted
papers are expected to present their work at the conference. Submitted
papers that are deemed of good quality but that could not be accepted as
regular papers will be accepted as short papers. Length of short papers
<br>
<h4><u>Important Dates</u></h4>
Submission Date: <b><font color="#ff0000">10 June 2018</font></b><br>Notification to Authors: 20 August 2018<br>Camera Ready Submission: 5 September 2018 <br>
<h4><u>Journal Special Issues</u></h4>
Selected papers from the presented papers will be invited to submit an
extended version to number of journals. Papers will be selected based on
their reviewers’ scores and appropriateness to the Journal’s theme. All
extended versions will undergo reviews and must represent original
unpublished research work. Further details will be made available at a
later stage.
