*Wi-DroIT 2025 (7th International Workshop on Wireless Sensors and Drones
in Internet of Things)*
Recently, the rapid development of Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles (UAVs),
also known as drones, has highlighted a plethora of emergent applications
such as infrastructure inspection and surveillance, smart agriculture, seek
and rescue, parcel delivery, communications, and post-disaster recovery. In
all these applications UAVs may coexist with ground Internet of Things
(IoT) devices. For example, UAVs autonomously perform remote sensing
relaying the collected data by the sensors. Additionally, one or more UAVs
can collaborate to provide services that require efficient protocols where
multiple objectives and constraints need to be considered. For this
workshop, we seek papers that combine the design of algorithms and testbed
implementations to develop the theoretical foundations for UAVs as well as
the synergies with IoT devices. The numerous emergent applications raised
by IoT may require an interdisciplinary approach involving techniques from
algorithm foundations and different areas, such as computer networks,
artificial intelligence, concurrent, parallel, and distributed computing,
security, digital signal, image, and sound processing.

*IoTI5 2025 (7th International Workshop on IoT Applications and Industry
5.0)*
It is evident that IoT is entering multiple fields of everyday life. The
proliferation of IoT devices as well as the numerous use cases reveal the
very promising potentials of IoT in revolutionizing several aspects of
common activities as well as business processes. The vision of
interconnecting billions of devices in a holistic network, where machines
communicate along with traditional human communications is now being
realized, towards the formation of the Internet of Everything (as called by
Cisco). The workshop focuses on Industrial Internet of Things systems and
applications, which represent the highest value segment of the IoT market.
The heavy research endeavors of last years have provided efficient
solutions and enhanced technologies that enable the creation of such a
network, overcoming several challenges stemming from the special attributes
of device-to-device communications, embedded devices, and big data
management.
The new challenge is to identify efficient ways of integrating IoT
technologies in contemporary applications exploiting the potentials of
real-time monitoring, interactive control, self-management, and data
analytics towards “smart” behavior and enhanced performance. The main scope
of the “IoT Applications and Industry 5.0” (IoTI5) workshop is to identify
and promote new techniques for the realization of promising IoT
applications in various areas, including Industry 5.0 scenarios. The
workshop is also supported by the EU Horizon projects: TALON and NANCY.

*SmaCE 2025 (7th IEEE International Workshop on Workshop on Smart Circular
Economy)*
Circular Economy is a paradigm for sustainable growth that envisions the
transformation of how modern societies design, produce and consume goods
and services towards a regenerative economic cycle. Future and emerging
technologies, such as 5G and 6G networks, Distributed Ledger Technologies,
and crowdsourcing systems, along with innovative models and paradigms, such
as the Internet of Things, Industry 5.0, and community networks, will play
an important role in the transition to Circular Economy. The development of
relevant international standards and policy-making initiatives, such as the
European Green Deal, will also facilitate the transition. Smart Circular
Economy is an international workshop focusing on the role of ICT as an
enabler for Circular Economy. This workshop brings together scientists,
researchers, as well as relevant stakeholders from the industry and local
communities to share and exchange their experiences, discuss challenges,
and report state-of-the-art and in-progress research lying in the
intersection of ICT and Circular Economy.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*ISIoT 2025 (7th International Workshop on Intelligent Systems for the
Internet of Things)*
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. The development of IoT,
however, has reached a crossroads, which means that without intelligence,
an IoT system will act as an ordinary information transfer system.
Emerging IoT applications in various fields, including smart city, smart
home, smart grid, e-health, intelligent transportation systems, etc.,
require trustworthy networking solutions that are resilient against high
mobility, high density, disasters, infrastructure failures, cyberattacks,
and other disruptions. This interdisciplinary landscape of IoT applications
demands researchers from different areas such as machine learning,
computational intelligence, optimization, distributed computing, embedded
systems, and big data to synergize their efforts in better understanding
the untapped opportunities to produce highly efficient, deployable,
intelligent IoT systems. The ISIoT workshop aims at bringing together
researchers and practitioners designing and deploying systems that apply
intelligent technologies in IoT.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*UrbCom 2025 (7th International Workshop on Urban Computing)*
It is undeniable that the cities' urbanization has modernized people's
lives, bringing several benefits to the population. However, it has also
brought serious challenges such as public management of collective spaces,
air pollution, traffic congestion, energy consumption, and quality of life.
In this context, Urban Computing emerges as a process of acquisition,
integration, and analysis of a large volume of heterogeneous data generated
from different sources in urban spaces, such as portable devices, sensors,
vehicles, humans, among others. Urban Computing is an interdisciplinary
area that connects information and communication technology, advanced
management of large volumes of data, and diverse data analysis methods to
propose solutions to problems faced by cities. In addition, Urban Computing
seeks to understand the nature of urban and social phenomena to better plan
the future of cities and improve their inhabitants' quality of life. UrbCom
aims to create a space for: (1) presentation and discussion of studies in
the area of Urban Computing; (2) collaboration between researchers from
different areas that, given the interdisciplinary nature, is not limited to
Computer Science.

*SecRIoT 2025 (6th International Workshop on Security and Reliability of
IoT)*
The next years more than 20 billion devices will be interconnected. The
Internet of Things provides unparalleled opportunities for the development
of new novel services. Currently, most of the new electronic devices are
offering from basic to advanced networking capabilities in the context of
smart environments. Newer vehicles are partially or completely autonomous,
powered by modern microprocessors, hundreds of sensors and Internet enabled
services. The same applies to robotic and medical devices and almost every
other advanced equipment. Despite the longstanding efforts of the
scientific community to secure Internet and Network communications,
Operating Systems and Software Applications, only a limited amount of this
knowledge has been applied to the IoT ecosystems. Most of the IoT devices,
including modern vehicles suffer from numerous and multilayered
vulnerabilities. Default, weak or no password authentication for remote
connections, unencrypted traffic or obsolete and insecure cryptographic
algorithms, outdated, unmanaged and vulnerable software are among the most
serious problems of the IoT landscape. Even more alarming is the
unregulated manufacturing process of many IoT constructors. Aiming to
reduce the cost and minimize the time to market of their products, minimal
or none effort is put to secure and support them sufficiently. Worse, there
are recorded cases of IoT devices delivered with preinstalled malware that
demonstrate total lack of operations security in the supply chain. In
contrary to software applications in PCs and mobile devices, the owners are
not likely to replace their devices because of security problems. As
consequence, these systems remain vulnerable for extended periods. Recent
very large-scale DDoS attacks based and executed entirely by IoT Botnets,
signify the magnitude of the problem. The aim of SecRIoT is to bring
together researchers and professionals that are responsible for the secure
design, deployment and operation of current and future IoT systems.

*DISCOLI 2025 (4th International Workshop on Distributed Collective
Intelligence)*
Recent technological and scientific trends are promoting a vision where
intelligence is more and more distributed and collective. Indeed, as
computing and communication technologies are becoming increasingly
pervasive, and complexity of systems is growing in terms of scale,
heterogeneity, and interaction, hence the focus tends to shift from the
intelligence of individual devices or agents to the collective intelligence
(CI) emerging from a dynamic collection of diverse devices. Such
intelligence would allow systems to address complex problems through proper
coordination (e.g., cooperation or competition), to self-organise to
promote functionality under changing environments, and to improve
decision-making capabilities. The workshop aims to provide a forum where
researchers and practitioners can share and discuss fundamental concepts,
models, and techniques for studying and implementing collectively
intelligent distributed systems. Accordingly, it welcomes original research
work providing ideas and technical contributions for promoting scientific
discussion and practical adoption of CI mechanisms in engineered systems.
As such, the workshop also welcomes cross-disciplinary contributions (e.g.,
extracting computational mechanisms from natural systems exhibiting forms
of CI) and contributions from related research areas like coordination (the
study of interaction), multi-agent systems (MAS), socio-technical systems,
organisational paradigms, Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks (WSANs),
the Internet of Things (IoT), crowd computing, and swarm robotics.

*LS-NoT 2025 (3rd International Workshop on Long and Short Range Wireless
Technologies Applied to IoT for Networks of Tomorrow)*
The boundaries between the physical and digital worlds are rapidly
blurring, leading to complex systems that integrate smart components. This
drive towards innovative futuristic applications across many sectors,
aiming to improve societal quality of life. Examples include Smart Cities,
precision agriculture, and mitigation of white rural areas, among many
others. At the heart of these Smart Systems lies the Internet of Things
(IoT), which enables the collection of real-world data through sensing
devices. IoT relies on wireless communications to self-organize and
interface with core networks, serving as a bridge between the physical and
digital domains. As we look towards the future, these wireless technologies
must evolve to meet the demands of increasingly complex Smart Systems. This
evolution is crucial to pave the way for tomorrow's interconnected world.
For these reasons, our workshop aims to discover and promote innovative
solutions for both long-range and short-range IoT applications, with a
focus on next-generation networks. These technologies include the next
generation of the Internet (6G), Non-terrestrial Networks (NTN), Cognitive
Radio Networks (CRN), Low-Power Wide-Area Networks (LPWAN), Vehicular
Communications, and more.

*REFRESH 2025 (5th International Workshop on Real-life modeling in 5G/6G
networks and beyond)*
The economic and societal potential of emerging 5G/6G and cyber-physical
social systems is vastly greater than what has been realized so far, and
major investments are being made worldwide to develop the corresponding
science and technology. The Future Internet paradigm, the proliferation of
emerging networks and architectures, wireless access technologies and
multi-homing smart devices are evolving towards a competitive environment,
where users and devices have access to various resources, while their
behaviors become strongly interdependent. This fact demands and motivates
the development of user-centric resource management and optimization
frameworks, which enable user’s self-optimization and autonomy. This vision
is further motivated and supported by the convergence of various emerging
technologies enabling Cyber-Physical Systems operation, including 5G/B5G/6G
technologies, Internet of Things (IoT), Mobile Edge Computing and Software
Defined Networking, all targeting flexibility and efficiency. To deal with
the involved complexity, and driven by the requirements of autonomy and
scalability, distributed resource orchestration approaches appear as a
necessity rather than a desire.
The REFRESH Workshop aims at to stimulate research on the most novel topics
of real-life modeling in 5G/6G networks and beyond. This year’s edition
encourages submission of theoretical and experimental work (including
studies of real deployment), with a primary interest in new directions of
wireless networking in concrete application scenarios and demonstrators in
areas such as, but not limited to: mobile edge computing, Internet of
Things, cyber-physical systems, unmanned aerial vehicles, public safety
networks, dynamic spectrum utilization, smart grid communications, wireless
power communication, green wireless networks, information-centric wireless
networks.

*IoT-Green 2025 (1st International Workshop on IoT-Driven Urban
Sustainability and Green Technology)*
The IoT-Green workshop invites researchers and industry experts to explore
the role of IoT technologies in fostering sustainable urban environments.
As cities grow, the need for efficient resource management and eco-friendly
practices becomes essential. This workshop focuses on how IoT can support
urban sustainability initiatives, such as air quality monitoring, waste
management, energy conservation, and resource optimization. In this
workshop we aim to discuss cutting-edge IoT solutions that can help cities
meet environmental goals, reduce ecological footprints, and improve
citizens’ quality of life. The IoT-Green workshop aims at bringing together
researchers and practitioners designing and deploying systems that apply
IoT technologies in fostering sustainable urban environments.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*HIEMI 2025 (1st International Workshop on Hybrid Intelligence for Internet
of Everything Models and Implementations)*
The Internet of Everything (IoE) model envisions integrating people, data,
processes, and things, enhancing traditional systems to enrich human lives.
A central challenge in IoE lies in evolving from simple "connections among
things" to a dynamic network of "connections among people, processes, data,
and things." As these connections become more complex, meeting the demands
of future systems requires not only hybrid intelligence, where human and
autonomous agents work collaboratively, but also fully Artificial
Intelligence (AI) solutions capable of operating independently within the
IoE ecosystem. This workshop unites scientific and industrial communities
to discuss, propose, define, and evaluate models supporting hybrid and
artificial intelligence in interconnected IoE ecosystems. Such approaches
allow for adaptable systems where AI can assist human operators or operate
autonomously to address complex challenges across various domains. The
workshop also aims to create a collaborative research agenda, highlighting
future directions in hybrid and artificial-only IoE models and
implementations.

*TI 2025 (2nd Workshop on Next Generation IoT and AI systems for Trusted,
Human-Centered Intelligence)*
In recent years Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI)
technologies have been boosting the competitiveness of organizations in
sectors like manufacturing, energy, healthcare, and smart cities. IoT
technologies enable organizations to interact with the physical world
through cyber-physical systems and internet-connected objects, improving
the automation and efficiency of their business processes. At the same
time, AI technologies like machine learning and industrial robots
facilitate organizations in deriving insights from large volumes of
structured and unstructured datasets, helping to optimize workflows and
improve decision quality. Moreover, the emergence of Large Language Models
(LLMs) has further transformed the landscape by enabling new capabilities
for IoT applications. LLMs can process and analyze unstructured data at
scale, generate human-like responses, and facilitate natural language
interactions between humans and machines. When deployed at the edge within
IoT ecosystems, LLMs bring opportunities for real-time decision-making
while reducing latency and bandwidth requirements. However, these
advancements also introduce challenges related to explainability,
trustworthiness, and resource efficiency in highly decentralized
environments. Addressing these challenges is critical for building
human-centered IoT/AI systems that align with Industry 5.0 principles.
While these developments provide a solid foundation for Industry 4.0
applications, limitations remain in supporting the new wave of
human-centered AI applications envisioned for Industry 5.0. The development
of such applications requires an additional layer of trustworthiness to
enhance security, safety, transparency, and human acceptability. This
necessitates research into methods that promote trustworthiness across
multiple levels—ranging from ensuring data integrity to explaining AI
system operations to humans—and fostering trusted human-machine
collaboration. These goals can benefit from recent advancements in
cloud/edge/IoT continuum technologies (e.g., edge AI and edge LLM
approaches that reduce the attack surface of industrial data),
blockchain-based anti-tampering mechanisms, trusted human-centric AI
paradigms like explainable AI (XAI), neurosymbolic learning, and LLM-based
IoT applications such as IoT and digital twin applications for product
design.
In this context, the aim of the 2nd Workshop on Next Generation IoT and AI
Systems for Trusted, Human-Centered Intelligence (TI-2025) is to present
research results on technologies, tools, and methods that support the
development, deployment, and operation of trustworthy and human-centered
IoT/AI systems across industries such as manufacturing, smart cities,
precision farming, energy, and healthcare. The workshop particularly
welcomes contributions addressing IoT applications based on Generative AI
and LLMs (including edge-deployed LLMs) and related explainability
challenges.
