This conference has brought together 350 leading researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry together to facilitate sharing of Novel services and applications in an Internet of Things.

The term "Internet of Things" has come to describe a number of technologies and research disciplines that enable the Internet to reach out into the real world of physical objects. Technologies like RFID, short-range wireless communications, real-time localization and sensor networks are now becoming increasingly common, bringing the Internet of Things into commercial use. They foreshadow an exciting future that closely interlinks the physical world and cyberspace - a development that is not only relevant to researchers, but to corporations and individuals alike.

The conference, organized by Elgar Fleisch (University of St. Gallen and ETH Zurich), Friedemann Mattern (ETH Zurich), and Sanjay Sarma (MIT), was the firstof its kind that brought 350 leading researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry together (for pictures go to flickr) to facilitate sharing of applications, research results, and knowledge. The three-day event (Conference program available as PDF) has featured keynotes from industrial and academic visionaries (View podcasts), technical presentations of cutting-edge research (Proceedings available in print and online), reports on the user-experience from seasoned practitioners, and hands-on demos of current technology (Adjunct Proceedings available as PDF).
