IEEE GLOBECOM 2011 Workshop


International Workshop on Machine-to-Machine Communications
‘Key’ to the Future Internet of Things

9 December 2011


In Conjunction with IEEE GLOBECOM 2011, 5-9 December 2011, Houston, Texas, USA

(Workshop homepage
http://iwm2m.cttc.es)

The number of networked machines and/or devices is continuously increasing, changing the conventional perception of communication towards networks that are independent from human interaction. This results in a new paradigm on Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications towards the Future Internet of Things (IoT). M2M communications offer a potential solution to the already saturated telecommunications market, with new services and applications, such as smart city, smart grid, intelligent transportation, e-healthcare, remote monitoring, and logistics.  Such services and applications open a mass market and several business opportunities, whilst transforming the way communication systems are defined and operate. This requires development of novel solutions to efficiently serve a huge number of devices that interact autonomously at a global level. It also opens a wide research area for future M2M communications, including investigations on scalability, wide-area coverage, energy-efficiency, spectral-efficiency, cost-efficiency, heterogeneity, cooperation, and security.  


Main Topics of Interest

This workshop aims to gather researchers, engineers and practitioners both from academia and industry (universities, research centers, network operators, regulatory bodies, service providers), as well as end users, to present and debate advanced M2M communication systems, technologies, and applications, with the perspective of current M2M-related standardization activities in 3GPP, ETSI, IEEE, and IETF. Specifically, but not exclusively, the workshop proposes to address the following topics related to M2M communication:
-        Scalable system architecture and components

-        Radio access technologies and protocols

-        Spectrum management for M2M

-        Resource management for energy-harvesting devices

-        Channel and traffic models
-        Internetworking protocols and mechanisms

-        Cloud support for M2M applications

-        Device management for M2M

-        Data and service management for M2M

-        Semantic technologies for M2M

-        Mobility management for M2M

-        Security, trust and privacy of M2M devices and services

-        New M2M applications, services, and business models

-        Field Trials / Test-beds / Regulatory issues

Authors Guidelines
Authors are invited to submit original contributions that were not previously published or currently under review by any other workshop, conference, or journal.Papers need to be uploaded to the EDASGLOBECOM 2011 workshop submission link (
http://edas.info//N10893) for this workshop, and should follow the GLOBECOM 2011 paper submission guidelines. All submissions should be written in English with a maximum paper length of Five (5) printed pages (10-point font) including figures without incurring additional page charges (maximum 1 additional page with over-length page charge if accepted). Note that the maximum number of pages for a paper is 6; 5 pages plus 1 additional page allowed with a charge for the one additional page of USD100 if accepted. Papers exceeding 6 pages will not be accepted at EDAS, nor reviewed at all. Accepted papers will be published in IEEE Xplore. IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if it is not presented at the conference.
