Call for Papers

The Internet of Things (IoT) has the potential to dramatically impact the way in which transportation and logistics systems are managed. In fact, by exploiting real time information collected in the field it is possible to reduce costs, improve the performance of managed transportation and logistic systems, and introduce novel services so supporting new business models. For this to happen, however, a close cooperation is necessary between experts of the vertical domains and IoT technology developers. In fact, real impact will be possible only if technologies are based on the actual application domain requirements and if vertical solutions will be developed considering the full potentials of available technologies.

In such a context, objective of the First Workshop on IoT for Transportation and Logistics (IoTTL) is to bring together experts of the transportation and logistic domain as well as IoT researchers and practitioners so fostering the reach of a common language and playground to be used further R&D activities.

This workshop invites original contributions on the exploitation of IoT technologies in the transportation and logistic domain.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Internet of things and transportation systems
• IoT in logistics management
• Large scale IoT based warehouse systems
• Intelligent Transportation Systems
• M2M communications in transportation and logistics
• Smart supply chain management
• IoT performance evaluation and modelling
• Data mining analytics applied to smart logistics systems
• IoT architecture, tools and applications for data analysis
• IoT platforms for Big Data and data analytics
• Fog and Edge computing
• Innovative Big Data processing for the IoT
• Smart environments and applications
• Machine learning and Real-time intelligence
• Intelligent sensors and sensing applications
• Challenges in Big Data storage and processing
• Mining and recommendation techniques for IoT environments
• Data mining techniques applied to transportation and logistic domain

The workshop will accept papers describing completed work as well as work-in-progress and ongoing experiments. Papers describing practical experiments are especially invited.

Submitted papers must contain between 4 and 6 U.S. letter pages, including all figures, tables, and references. All submissions must be written in English.

Submissions should be formatted using the standard IEEE template for Microsoft Word or LaTeX available here. Authors should indicate their names and affiliations on the first page of the paper. All submissions must be in PDF format and render without error using standard viewers (e.g., Acrobat Reader). Submitted papers must differ significantly in content from previously published papers and must not be currently under review for any other publication.

Accepted and presented papers will be included into the IEEE Xplore. Authors of accepted papers, or at least one of them, are requested to register and present their work at the conference, otherwise their papers will be removed from the digital libraries of IEEE after the conference.
