          lang="EN-GB">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 2019) aims at
          soliciting original ideas on the broad area of IoT including
          challenges and opportunities, concepts and applications and
          future trends. The IoTSMS 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          original, unpublished manuscripts.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
