CALL FOR PAPERS (apologies for multiple copies)

IEEE International Workshop on Internet of Things for
Ambient Assisted Living (IoTAAL) In conjunction with IEEE
GLOBECOM 2015, San Diego, CA, USA, Dec 6 - 10, 2015.

http://www.tlc.dii.univpm.it/iotaal/

MOTIVATION AND SCOPE
Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) encompasses technical systems,
infrastructures, and services to support elderly people in
their daily routine, to allow an independent and safe
lifestyle, as long as possible, via the seamless integration
of information and communication technologies within homes
and residences. Effective AAL solutions require appropriate
ICT algorithms, architectures and platforms, that cannot
leave out of consideration the development of new and
innovative approaches, particularly in the area of pervasive
and mobile systems. The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm is
leading to smart objects being capable of identifying,
locating, sensing and connecting, and thus opening
possibilities for new forms of communication between people
and things, and things themselves. This workshop aims to
investigate the potential benefits gained when specializing
the IoT for AAL, to avoid redundancy and leverage the
harmonization of the technological approaches towards an
increased Quality of Life for the current and future ageing
populations.

TOPICS OF INTEREST
The focus of this workshop is on proposals of architectures,
methods, techniques, protocols, components and tools
addressing the IoT paradigm to support the Ambient Assisted
Living requirements. These may include, but are not limited
to, the following topics:
- IoT communications for AAL and Enhanced Living
Environments
- Mobile solutions for AAL
- IoT enabled signal acquisition, analysis, and processing
for activity identification and recognition in AAL
- Smart Ad Hoc Networks and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs)
for AAL
- Distributed sensing and alarming technologies for AAL
- IoT devices (smart objects) and cyber-physical systems for
AAL
- E-healthcare, telemedicine and tele-monitoring through IoT
in AAL systems
- AAL networks and systems architectures
- Green networking in IoT for AAL
- Security, privacy, and trustworthiness management in IoT
for AAL
- Information processing for AAL communications
- Interoperability among IoT and AAL platforms
- Cloud and Mobile Cloud for AAL
- Algorithms and techniques for IoT enabled AAL data
analytics
- Big data management in AAL
- IoT applications, systems, and testbeds for AAL
- Standardization activities of IoT for AAL
- Future directions in IoT for AAL

KEYNOTE SPEAKER
The workshop will host a keynote by Roberto Minerva, Head of
Innovative Architectures within the Future Centre in the
Strategy Department of Telecom Italia (ITALY) and Chairman
of the IEEE IoT Initiative, on the topic: “IoT Platforms:
the horizontal vs vertical issues”.

IMPORTANT DATES
Paper submission deadline: July 1, 2015 (strict)
Acceptance/rejection announcement: September 1, 2015
Final workshop papers due: October 1, 2015

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS

charges (maximum 1 additional page with over length page
charge of USD100 if accepted). Papers exceeding 7 pages will
not be accepted at EDAS. You may also use one of the
following templates for Microsoft Word: A4, US letter. Only
PDF files will be accepted for the review process, and all
submissions must be done through EDAS (link TBA).
Standard IEEE conference templates for LaTeX formats are

If you have any questions regarding the submission of
manuscripts, please contact the Workshop Program Chairs.
Important IEEE Policy Announcement: The IEEE reserves the
right to exclude a paper from distribution after the
conference (including its removal from IEEE Explore) if the
paper is not presented at the conference.
Plagiarism policy: Papers should not contain plagiarized
material and have not been submitted to any other
conference/workshop at the same time (double submission).
These matters are taken very seriously and the IEEE
Communications society will take action against any author
who engages in either practice. Follow the link to learn
