Iot international innovation conference 2017 (i3c'17)

The Internet is no more the end-to-end Internet and the network of networks as it started but rather a bunch of silos of NATworks plagued by NAT boxes forming the InterNAT that killed the end to end model which was and is the driving force of the Internet providing the core backbone for connectivity where networks peer directly with each other to deliver web services, email services, social interaction and the many peering applications.

The paradigm of the Internet of Things has become a core element of the Internet. Low-cost sensing and actuation is available to everyone. It allows seamless information exchange and networked interactions of physical and digital objects. Thanks to the wide availability of smartphones, not only companies but also consumers are part of this networked world. This interconnectivity together with large-scale data processing, advanced machine learning, robotics and new fabrication techniques steadily brings innovation and business models of the digital space into the physical world. All of this indicates that we are at the brink of another industrial revolution.

The are many inflections happening this decade to influence the design of the first tangible IoT, 5G and Cloud Computing. It will be a combination of IoT, SDN-NFV, Cloud Computing, Edge Computing, Big IoT Data, and 5G, to sift through to realizing the paradigm shift from current research-based work to advanced IoT, 5G, or simply Smart Cities. This conference aims to encourage innovative cross-domain studies that address the challenges of IoT, including emerging and disruptive technologies, and prospective analysis.
