The Internet of Things (IoT) is a new paradigm that brings intelligent interconnection of things or objects in the physical world through information sensing devices, such as sensors and RFID tags, and networking protocols to provide communications and interaction between objects and objects in any place at any time. IoT covers a wide scope of technologies, including sensing, communications, networking, computing, information processing, and intelligent control. It promises a broad range of applications, which implement a variety of intelligent identification, positioning, tracking, monitoring, and management services, and will thus have a huge impact on today's world and every aspect of people's life. For this reason, IoT has recently received tremendous attention from industries, academia, and governments.
The International Workshop on the Internet of Things (IWIoT) is a new event that aims at providing a forum that brings together researchers from academia as well as practitioners from industry and government to meet and exchange ideas and recent research work on all aspects of the Internet of Things. IWIoT 2010 is the first edition of this event, which will be held in conjunction with CHINACOM'10 in Beijing, China, on August 25, 2010.
