The FP7 PROBE-IT project organized its first Internet of Things interoperability workshop. It gathered around 45 attendees with the aim to identify and debate on IoT interoperability issues and practices and to provide a 2012 action plan and recommendations in IERC deliverable to be published by end of 2012.
You could download the presentations made during the workshop here.
The CPS Week 2012 (Cyber-Physical Systems Week) in Beijing will include a workshop and tutorial day on April 16, 2012. Each workshop will provide an arena for presentations and discussions about a special topic of relevance to CPS Week. Each tutorial will present in-depth content in a mini-course format aimed primarily at students, researchers, or attendees from industry.
Proposals: If you are interested in organising a workshop or a tutorial at CPS Week 2012, please send a proposal (maximum 2-page PDF file) containing information about the following:
* Workshop or tutorial title,
* Abstract (maximum 200 words),
* The topic of the workshop/tutorial and how it relates to CPS Week,
* The organisers behind the workshop/tutorial including contact information, and short bio and affiliation,
* Proposed Program Committee,
* Planned review procedures,
* In the case of a workshop what the intended format will be (invited presentations, submitted presentations, panels, etc),
* Expected sponsorships (if any),
* Profile of a typical attendee (academic researcher, student or industry participant),
* A rough estimate of the number of participants,
* In case the workshop/tutorial has been previously held, provide information on the conference, date, and number of attendees.

CALL FOR PAPERS – Second International Workshop on the Web of Things (WoT 2011) in conjunction with Pervasive 2011, San Francisco, June 12-15 2011.
The world of embedded devices has experienced radical changes; real-world objects such as home appliances, industrial machines and wireless sensor and actuator networks embed powerful computers which often can connect to the Internet. Likewise, more and more common objects are being tagged with RFID tags or barcodes. Considering the recent progress in mobile communications (increased bandwidth for cell phone networks, as well as urban wireless broadband networks), Internet access will very likely become a commodity accessible from most real-world devices. This convergence of physical computing devices (wireless sensor networks, mobile phones, embedded computers, etc.) and the Internet provides new design opportunities and challenges, as digital communication networks will increasingly not only serve virtual data (images, text, etc.), but also serve access to real objects. While the “Internet of Things” has become a well-known brand for a set of research issues in the pervasive and ubiquitous computing communities, the main focus of this research theme has been on establishing connectivity in a variety of challenging and constrained networking environments. Our hypothesis is that the “Web of Things” is the next logical step in the ongoing evolution, enabling new applications and providing new opportunities. The Web of Things takes the next step from establishing connectivity and thus the ability to communicate with Things, to a vision where Things become seamlessly integrated into the Web, not just through Web-based user interfaces of specific applications, but by simply blending into the information and interaction space created by the Web and its architectural principles. The “Web of Things” workshop solicits contributions in the areas of architectures for a Web of things, decentralization, real-time interactions with things, services for the physical world, Web-scale applications, as well as questions of user interface and interaction design, where a Web of Things requires application designers to think beyond standard Web browsers and embrace alternative clients such as mobile devices or even more constrained environments.
The 2nd International Workshop on SOFTWARE ENGINEERING FOR SENSOR NETWORK APPLICATIONS will be held on May 22, 2011, in Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii. In conjunction with ACM/IEEE Int. Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE).
The aim of SESENA 2011 is to attract researchers belonging to both the SE and WSN communities, not only to exchange their recent research results on the topic, but also to stimulate discussion about the core open problems and to define a shared research agenda. The workshop welcomes both research contributions and position statements. The former will allow discussing in technical depth novel results with an audience composed of both SE and WSN researchers. The latter will provide the opportunity for presenting open problems, provocative views, or previously-unexplored ideas in an informal fashion. SESENA11 will also include a “speakers’ corner” session composed by impromptu presentations where any of the attendees (including those without an accepted paper) will be given a chance to present their own views in very short statements (e.g., 2-4 minutes).
