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 Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished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.<span></span></span></p>
