From the call for papers:
INTERNET OF THINGS 2010
"IoT for a Green Planet"
International Conference for Industry and Academia
November 29 - December 1, 2010
at Royal Park Hotel, Tokyo (Japan)
Organized by Auto-ID Laboratories
at Keio University,
ETH Zurich & University of St. Gallen and MIT
The "Internet of Things (IoT)" disrupts with the today's Internet
limitations of human-entered data: technologies like RFID, short-range
wireless communications, real-time localization, and sensor networks
empower computers to perceive the world for themselves. Standardized
infrastructures capable of managing, sharing and processing this
captured data will be necessary in order to bring the Internet of Things
into commercial use. This interlinking of physical world and cyberspace
foreshadows an exciting endeavor that is highly relevant to
researchers, corporations, and individuals.
This conference will continue the success of the Internet of Things
conference from 2008 in Zurich. It to brings internationally leading
researcher and practitioners from both academia and industry together to
facilitate sharing of applications, research results, and knowledge. The
IoT2010 particularly encourages research on infrastructure and
applications facilitating environmental responsibility under the theme
"IoT for a Green Planet". The three-day event will feature keynotes from
industry and academic visionaries, technical presentations of
cutting-edge research, reports on the user-experience from seasoned
practitioners, panel discussions on hot topics, poster sessions
summarizing late-breaking results, and hands-on demos of current technology.
