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

*The 20th Annual International Conference on Distributed Computing in Smart
Systems and the Internet of Things (DCOSS-IoT 2024)*
*Abu Dhabi, UAE - April 29 to May 1, 2024*

* The DCOSS-IoT series of events are always technically co-sponsored by
IEEE, and Proceedings are published by IEEE Xplore.

The 20th International Conference on Distributed Computing in Smart Systems
and the Internet of Things (DCOSS-IoT 2024) will be held in Abu Dhabi,
United Arab Emirates. The conference is always co-sponsored by the IEEE
Computer Society and by the IEEE Technical Committee on Parallel Processing
(TCPP).
The conference was previously known as DCOSS. Starting in 2023, the event
is broadening its scope beyond sensor networks to include smart systems in
general and the Internet of Things (IoT). The updated name is “Distributed
Computing in Smart Systems and the Internet of Things” (DCOSS-IoT).
In the last few years, we have witnessed significant growth in the use of
IoT and distributed sensor systems in several application areas, including
smart transportation, smart energy systems, smart homes and buildings,
smart healthcare, and environmental monitoring. For smart sensor systems to
truly become useful and pervasive, we need to address several research
challenges, including the tight integration of sensing and machine
intelligence, reliable and efficient networking, interoperability and
scalability, the need for dependable autonomy, interaction with humans, and
important aspects of security, privacy and trust. DCOSS-IoT focuses on
issues arising in the entire IoT and networked sensor systems stack,
covering aspects of high-level abstractions, models and languages,
communication technologies, novel algorithms and applications, system
design approaches and architectures, and tools for simulated and real
deployments. Potential authors are invited to submit original, unpublished
manuscripts demonstrating recent advances in theoretical and experimental
research.

*Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:*

   -     Artificial Intelligence for IoT
   -     Machine learning and data mining for IoT and Smart Systems
   -     Smart healthcare to combat epidemics
   -     Edge and fog computing: distributed computing models from sensor
   to cloud
   -     Machine intelligence in distributed sensor systems and real-time
   analytics
   -     Novel communication paradigms (e.g., 5G/6G, VLC, DSA) for IoT and
   Smart Systems
   -     Cyber-Physical Systems
   -     IoT and Smart Systems for Smart and Connected Communities
   -     Autonomous systems: closing the loop between sensing and actuation
   -     Time and location management
   -     Robustness, resilience, and dependability of IoT and smart systems
   -     Security and privacy in IoT and Smart Systems
   -     Performance analysis: complexity, correctness, scalability
   -     Mobile and human-centric sensing
   -     IoT and Smart Systems for social computing

   -     Green and environmentally friendly IoT (low-power, harvesting,
   energy management)
   -     Sensors and Robots for Internet of Intelligent Things
   -     Design and implementation of real-world applications and systems
   -     Approaches, tools, and experience of deployment and operation

*********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished manuscripts
demonstrating current research on distributed smart systems and IoT related
to the aforementioned topics of interest. Please use the US letter size
(8.5 X 11 in) standard IEEE conference LaTeX format or Microsoft Word
template available on:
http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html
.

All submissions should be written in *English* and have a maximum of *eight
(8)* printed pages, including figures and references. Starting last year,
DCOSS-IoT will follow a *double-blind review* process. As a result, authors
must make a good faith effort to anonymize their submissions.  Although
submission is double-blind, the existence or availability of non-anonymous
preprints (on arXiv or other preprint servers) will not lead to your paper
being rejected. Reviewers will be instructed not to look for such preprints
actively,but encountering them will not constitute a conflict of interest.
Papers that do not meet the size, formatting, and anonymization
requirements will not be reviewed. We require each paper to be in Adobe
Portable Document Format (PDF) and submitted through the HotCRP submission
system.

**** Special Issue and Best Paper Awards ****
DCOSS-IoT 2024 will announce a best paper award and a best poster/demo
award.
Extended versions of selected best papers from DCOSS-IoT 2024 will be
included in a Special Issue of the Computer Networks (COMNET) Journal.
