Call for Papers

EAI IoECon 2022 will be held as a fully-fledged online conference.
All matters related to publication and indexing will remain unchanged. 
Participants will still be able to enjoy unique interactive benefits – learn more.

Scope

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.

Topics

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

Submit paper

Publication

All registered papers will be submitted for publishing by Springer and made available through SpringerLink Digital Library.

Authors of selected best accepted and presented papers will be invited to submit an extended version to:

• Wireless Networks (WINET) Journal [IF: 2.602 (2020)]

All accepted authors are eligible to submit an extended version in a fast track of:

• EAI Endorsed Transactions on Industrial Networks and Intelligent Systems (Open Access) – recently accepted for inclusion in Scopus
• EAI Endorsed Transactions on Internet of Things (Open Access)

Additional publication opportunities:

• EAI/Springer Innovations in Communications and Computing Book Series
  (titles in this series are indexed in Ei Compendex, Web of Science & Scopus)

Paper submission

Papers should be submitted through EAI ‘Confy+‘ system, and have to comply with the Springer format (see Author’s kit section).

• Regular papers should be up to 12-15+ pages in length.
• Short papers should be 6-8+ pages in length.

All conference papers undergo a thorough peer review process prior to the final decision and publication. This process is facilitated by experts in the Technical Program Committee during a dedicated conference period. Standard peer review is enhanced by EAI Community Review which allows EAI members to bid to review specific papers. All review assignments are ultimately decided by the responsible Technical Program Committee Members while the Technical Program Committee Chair is responsible for the final acceptance selection.
