special session on emerging wireless technologies for industrial internet of things (iiot)
iecon 2018 - the 44th annual conference of the ieee industrial electronics society
october 21-23, 2018, washington d.c, usa
topic of the special session
the iot paradigm is envisaged to permeate into the industrial manufacturing and production, leading to industrial internet of things (iiot). there are many emerging wireless technologies, such as lora, sigfox, weightless, nb-iot and lte cat m1, which can be applied to the current and future iiot applications. however, there are many challenges and research gaps that still need to be addressed to improve the performance of these emerging wireless technologies. furthermore, there are many enabling technologies, such as software-defined networking and cloud and fog computing, that can be utilized to overcome many challenges associated with these emerging wireless technologies. researchers are invited to submit original research contributions in all related areas.
topics of the session
ø iiot analytics architectures, algorithms and applications
ø simulation, testbeds, prototypes, field trails, and other performance analysis of the emerging wireless technologies for iiot
ø concepts and business models for iiot computing and communication
