Special Session #4

In the framework of Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm, the synchronization facility is challenging due to: heterogeneity and mobility of the Smart Objects,different kind of connections, energy saving, andreduced computational capability.The synchronization is mandatory for the time correlation of events, motion detection, velocity estimation, detection of cyber attack, data consistency, concurrency control, object localization and many others.
The special session “Synchronization for Internet of Things” is trying to examine common ideas and directions among different contemporary theoreticaland technical approaches.The special session will collect scientific expertise and the technologies nowadays available. The goal is to give a set of triggering contributions useful to propose new and common approach for anIoT synchronization standard.
