********************* Statement concerning LLMs *********************

Recognizing developing issue that affects all academic disciplines, we 
would like to state that, in principle, papers that include text 
generated from a large-scale language model (LLM) are prohibited, unless 
the produced text is used within the experimental part of the work.

*********************************************************************

The Internet of Things is a technology which is rapidly emerging around 
the world. IoT applications include: smart city initiatives, wearable 
devices aimed to real-time health monitoring, smart homes and buildings, 
smart vehicles, environment monitoring, intelligent border protection, 
logistics support. The Internet of Things is a paradigm that assumes a 
pervasive presence in the environment of many smart things, including 
sensors, actuators, embedded systems and other similar devices. 
Widespread connectivity, getting cheaper smart devices and a great 
demand for data, testify to that the IoT will continue to grow by leaps 
and bounds. The business models of various industries are being 
redesigned on basis of the IoT paradigm. But the successful deployment 
of the IoT is conditioned by the progress in solving many problems.

These issues are as the follows:

*    The integration of heterogeneous sensors and systems with different 
technologies taking account environmental constraints, and data 
confidentiality levels;
*    Big challenges on information management for the applications of 
IoT in different fields (trustworthiness, provenance, privacy);
*    Security challenges related to co-existence and interconnection of 
many IoT networks;
*    Challenges related to reliability and dependability, especially 
when the IoT becomes the mission critical component;
*    Zero-configuration or other convenient approaches to simplify the 
deployment and configuration of IoT and self-healing of IoT networks;
*    Knowledge discovery, especially semantic and syntactical 
discovering of the information from data provided by IoT.

The IoT technical session is seeking original, high quality research 
papers related to such topics. The session will also solicit papers 
about current implementation efforts, research results, as well as 
position statements from industry and academia regarding applications of 
IoT. The focus areas will be, but not limited to, the challenges on 
networking and information management, security and ensuring privacy, 
logistics, situation awareness, and medical care.
