It was about a decade when CISCO and other companies started using the “internet of everything” (IoE) phrase, where IoE became an intricate extension of the internet of things. IoE refers to consumer products and devices connected to the internet with expanded digital features. Specifically, IoE is a complete ecosystem that interconnects everything, such as people-to-people, people-to-machines, and machines-to-machines. So, for example, humans and devices communicate through people-to-machine and machine-to-people interaction. The internet of everything has four essential components: things, people, data, and processes, where the internet forms the foundation for these components. The term ‘things’ consists of machines, devices, and sensors that include the fundamental objects of the IoE ecosystem. ‘People’ provide the intellectual foundation of the IoE since humans give the analysis of data and create essential insights from operations. The term ‘data’ forms another IoE component, whose content increases each year exponentially and whose management becomes increasingly complex. ‘Process’ is the fourth IoE component that determines how each of the other three elements provides increased digital value by transferring data to the right person or device.

This EAI International Conference on the Internet of Everything concentrates on deploying intelligent devices and objects within the internet of everything systems. One focus could be the effects of technology on people and organizational processes; another could be the information security challenges from this technological evolution. This call aims to assemble academics, professionals, researchers, and students to share their ideas and experiences in a forum devoted to issues raised by the influence of IoE ecosystems. For example, industry should place worker wellbeing and information security at the center of the production process, which requires investments to combine innovative digital technology, machine learning, and big data. Moreover, modern computing disciplines closely relate to IoE. These include modeling, networking, embedded devices, security that integrate novel results with governance, economics, and social studies to provide a clear and unifying vision for an IoE future.

The conference will present papers that encompass the latest advances in the growing field of the internet of everything. The focus includes four basic categories: person-to-person, person-to-machine, machine-to-person, and machine-to-machine. For simplicity, the conference considers person-to-machine and machine-to-person as equivalent. Each category contains related topics shown below. However, papers fitting more then one category are naturally accepted. Submissions introducing experience reports, lessons learned, comparative studies, and case analyses are also most welcome.

People-to-People:
Data, processes, education, information, technical ethics, security management, risk management, semantic/behavioral aspects of interconnected devices, social media and urban awareness, social effects of technology, sustainable governance, other related topics

People-to-Machine:
Data, processes, education, cybersecurity, technical ethics, business intelligence, cloud-based platforms, cooperative data processing, data science and engineering, data processing engines, embedded software design and engineering, industrial control; industry 4.0/5.0, industrial applications, modeling architectures, system design for smart objects, privacy, real-time systems, smart cities, supply chain security, risk management, sustainability, other related topics

Machine-to-Machine:
Data, processes, education, artificial intelligence, smart healthcare, intelligent transportation, intelligent vehicles, networking devices, distributed sensor networks, smart sensors, smart devices, smart governance, other related topics
