Proceedings of the 2015 International Workshop on Internet of Things towards Applications

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2015 International Workshop on Internet-of-Things towards Applications -- IoT-App'15. This is a new workshop inspired by the fact that Internet-of-Things are spearheading advancements in technology through inter-disciplinary research among a broad spectrum of disciplines such as networked sensing, mobile computing and wireless networking, just to name a few. The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers to present thoughts and results on IoT applications. We are looking for application descriptions, development, experiences and evaluation in a wide range of domains including, but not limited to homes, offices, medical care, vehicles, transportation, supply chains and education. Particularly, we are interested in identifying new applications that are made possible by the Internet of Things, as well as new challenges these applications will pose to the design of an Internet of Things. The notion of "Internet of Things" has emerged as a last-mile solution for connecting various cyber technologies to our everyday life. It envisions a world in which the sensor devices could exist in any form factor, anywhere, in which all the sensory data will be made available to the Internet, and be readily accessible to a wide range of applications. The sensor devices are usually attached to physical objects, providing a real-time, interactive view of the physical world. Although much progress has been made at the system and sensing level, applications for these platforms are considerably lagging behind. Without compelling applications, the vision of the Internet of Things will not be realized. The call for papers attracted 7 submissions from all over the word. The program committee reviewed and accepted the following: Venue or Track -- Full Technical Papers Reviewed 7, Accepted 6 Acceptance 86%. The workshop will also include a few keynote and feature invited talks from personnel from academia as well as industry. We also encourage attendees to attend the panel that will feature eminent academic and industry personalities working in diverse areas.
