Internet of Things (IoT) has been attracting attention due to its economical impact and high expectations for drastically changing our societies. Trillion-scale IoT devices including sensors and actuators are predicted to be installed in “things” such as machines, humans, vehicles, buildings and environments in the near future. At the same time, we are facing research challenges on how to effectively/timely handle over-trillion flows gushed from these massive devices.
Based on the success of our previous events IFoT 2016 and PerFoT 2018, the third edition, the 2019 International Workshop on Pervasive Flow of Things (PerFoT 2019), aims to provide researchers and practitioners a forum for presenting and discussing research challenges, design/implementations of new architectures, and experiences on timely/real-time utilization of massive information flows (or data streams) which IoT devices generate.
We solicit technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal. Submissions should clearly identify how they relate to issues on information flow of things. Contributions describing an overall working system and reporting real world deployment experiences are particularly of interest. Topics of this workshop include, but are not limited to:
Information Processing Technology for Pervasive Flows
Network Architecture/Protocols for Pervasive Flows
Content Curation Technology for Pervasive Flows
Security and Privacy Issues for Pervasive Flows
Management Technology of Pervasive Flows
Data-driven Technology for Pervasive Flows
Pervasive Flow Applications
Visualization, Analysis and Other Information Technologies for Pervasive Flows
Integration of application services
Integration of sensory devices
Interoperability and interdependence of heterogeneous platforms and technologies
Integration and interdependence of cross-domain pervasive systems
Impact of system/application integration on end-to-end Quality of Service
Integration of protocols
Impact of system integration on device power
Impact of mobility on system/application integration
Fundamental principles of system/application integration
Retrofitting and sustainability principles for heterogeneous systems
