There are three important concepts that have gained relevance over the past years. First, the concept of classic embedded systems where the focus is on the control of physical processes (machinery, automobiles, planes, etc.). Se-‐ cond, the notion of pervasive computing (or ubiquitous computing) that foresees everyday objects as having some form of computation capacity and, in most cases, sensing and communication facilities. Third, wireless sensor networks where small computing devices are able to sense their environ-‐ ment and cooperate in order to achieve a common goal. We refer to the uni-‐ fied vision of these three systems as networks of Cooperating Objects (COs). This new vision is more powerful and has a larger scope than each of the individual system concepts out of which it evolved. The vision of Cooperating Objects is, therefore, quite new and needs to be understood in more detail and probably extended with inputs from the relevant individual communities that compose it. Building on the success of the previous CONET workshops, CONET/UBICITEC 2013 aims at providing a forum to discuss the similarities, complementariness and advances of the areas mentioned above in order to integrate them into single coherent systems. Topics of interest included: • Resource management of COs • Quality-‐of-‐Service in networks of COs • Hardware platforms for COs • Mobile and distributed sensing • Hybrid cooperation of static and mobile nodes • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
Communication and control of mobile COs Distributed control and estimation over networks Decentralized algorithms for control over wireless sensor networks Decentralized, distributed, and cooperative optimization Applications of control of COs Real-‐time aspects of COs System software for COs Communication support for COs Real-‐world deployments of COs Applications of COs to body area networks COs in Complex Systems Security and Privacy in COs Enterprise Integration of COs Application of wireless sensor networks on Pervasive computing Closed-‐loop applications of pervasive computing
IoT Technologies for Smart Cities The scientific contributions included five referred as well as two invited pa-‐ pers reported in these proceedings. Due to their breadth and depth with respect to the proposed topics, the selected scientific articles allowed the analysis of the state of the art of techniques and methodologies for Cooper-‐ ating Objects and the development of new wireless sensor networks applica-‐ tion. Moreover, the main potential directions of future research were identi-‐ fied along with the technologies that will drive future innovation in the CO domain. The Organizing Scientific Committee would like to thank the invited speakers, the authors of the scientific contributions, the members of the CONET steer-‐ ing and program committees, and all people involved in the organization of CONET 2013 whose precious contribution made possible to perform such successful initiative.
