Proceedings of the 2015 Workshop on IoT challenges in Mobile and Industrial Systems

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the Workshop on IoT challenges in Mobile and Industrial Systems -- IoT-Sys 2015. The new IoT-Sys workshop, at its first edition, is intended to be a forum for exchanging new ideas about the challenges and symbiosis between the Internet of Things, Mobile Computing, and Industrial Systems. The workshop aims at providing a significant contribution by fostering fruitful and critical discussions between attendees in order to facilitate the growth of the main pillars of Mobile-IoT applications and Industrial-IoT systems, and, more importantly, pave the road towards networked systems of Information in IoT applications. The workshop program includes a mix of papers on mobile computing for the IoT, communication protocols, and security issues. The program includes also a keynote speech on the Physical Web paradigm, based on the integration between the IoT and web technologies. The workshop program includes an interesting mix of papers and talks on three broad themes: health and wellness, human and social sensing, and wireless tracking. The program includes two keynote talks, three other invited talks, and six refereed paper presentations, covering a mix of blue sky research and systems in deployment by startups. We have included a discussion period at the end of each session, with a moderator who will engage the speakers and the audience in a discussion. We have also set aside time at the end of the workshop program to discuss topics outside of the session themes, including the future direction for the workshop. The call for papers attracted submissions from Asia, Australia, Europe, Africa, and the United States. The program committee reviewed 18 submissions with an acceptance rate of 50%. We also encourage attendees to attend the keynote speech. These valuable and insightful talks can and will guide us to a better understanding of how the Internet of Things will be shaped in the future: The Physical Web, Roy Want (who is currently at Google, Inc.).
