2025The Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly reshaping the digital and physical worlds, interconnecting devices, data, and decisions in ways once thought impossible. From smart cities and industrial automation to healthcare, agriculture, and beyond, IoT technologies are driving a wave of innovation that is transforming how we live, work, and interact. As the scope of IoT expands, so too does the demand for intelligent systems, scalable infrastructures, effective management strategies, and resilient security frameworks.The 12th International Conference on Internet of Things: Systems, Management and Security (IOTSMS 2025) offers a premier interdisciplinary platform for researchers, engineers, academics, and industry leaders to present and discuss the latest advancements, challenges, and future directions in IoT. Building on the success of previous editions, IOTSMS 2025 aims to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange across disciplines and sectors.IOTSMS 2025 provides a premier international platform to present and discuss innovations spanning system architectures, network design, data intelligence, emerging communication paradigms, sustainable development, and secure deployments in IoT environments. This edition of the conference aims to emphasize cross-disciplinary research, real-world applications, and future-oriented technologies that will shape the next generation of smart, adaptive, and resilient IoT ecosystems.

We welcome high-quality research and case studies in, but not limited to, the following areas:
