Call for Student Posters
The International IoT Conference is IFIP's flagship event for research, innovation, and application of the Internet of Things. Now in its 9th year, it will be held in Al Ain, UAE / Hybrid. As IoT is by nature multidisciplinary, the conference covers a wide range of topics.
The areas of interest range from communication network protocols and embedded systems to data analysis and machine learning algorithms, as well as social, legal, ethical, and economic aspects. All these aspects aim to enable a wide range of services in areas such as e-health, mobility, energy, manufacturing, smart cities, and agriculture. IoT deployment must also consider security, privacy, and the social aspects of networking, which must be studied in detail to guarantee real added value for IoT users.
