The 2013 IEEE International Conference on Internet of Things (iThings2013) will provide a high-profile, leading-edge forum for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to present state-of-art advances and innovations in theoretical foundations, systems, infrastructure, tools, testbeds, and applications for the Internet of Things, as well as to identify emerging research topics and define the future. The iThings2013 is the next edition of the successful series, previously held as iThings 2012 (Besançon, France), iThings 2011 (Dalian, China), IOTS 2010 (Hangzhou, China), MINES 2009 (Hangzhou, China), and MINES 2008 (Chengdu, China).
