The 19th Annual International Conference on Distributed Computing in Smart 
Systems and the Internet of Things (DCOSS-IoT 2023)
Coral Bay, Pafos, Cyprus  —  June 19-21, 2023

* The DCOSS-IoT series of events are always technically co-sponsored by IEEE, 
and Proceedings are published by IEEE Xplore.  Αpproval for this year pending.

The 19th International Conference on Distributed Computing in Smart Systems and 
the Internet of Things (DCOSS-IoT 2023 ) will be held in Cyprus in June 2023. 
The conference is always co-sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society and by the 
IEEE Technical Committee on Parallel Processing (TCPP).

The conference was previously known as DCOSS. Starting in 2023, the event is 
broadening its scope beyond sensor networks to include smart systems in general 
and the Internet of Things (IoT). The updated name is “Distributed Computing in 
Smart Systems and the Internet of Things” (DCOSS-IoT).

In the last few years, we have witnessed significant growth in the use of IoT 
and distributed sensor systems in several application areas, including smart 
transportation, smart energy systems, smart homes and buildings,  smart 
healthcare, and environmental monitoring. For smart sensor systems to truly 
become useful and pervasive, we need to address several research challenges, 
including the tight integration of sensing and machine intelligence, reliable 
and efficient networking, interoperability and scalability, the need for 
dependable autonomy, interaction with humans, and important aspects of 
security, privacy and trust. DCOSS-IoT focuses on issues arising in the entire 
IoT and networked sensor systems stack, covering aspects of high-level 
abstractions, models and languages, communication technologies, novel 
algorithms and applications, system design approaches and architectures,  and 
tools for simulated and real deployments. Potential authors are invited to 
submit original, unpublished manuscripts demonstrating recent advances in 
theoretical and experimental research.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

Artificial Intelligence for IoT
Machine learning and data mining for IoT and Smart Systems
Smart healthcare to combat epidemics (including COVID-19)
Edge and fog computing: distributed computing models from sensor to cloud
Machine intelligence in distributed sensor systems and real-time analytics
Novel communication paradigms (e.g., 5G/6G, VLC, DSA) for IoT and Smart Systems
Cyber-Physical Systems
IoT and Smart Systems for Smart and Connected Communities
Autonomy: closing the loop between sensing and actuation
Time and location management
Robustness, resilience, and dependability of IoT and smart systems
Security and privacy in IoT and Smart Systems
Performance analysis: complexity, correctness, scalability
Mobile and human-centric sensing
IoT and Smart Systems for social computing
Interoperability, heterogeneity and scalability
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based sensing/communications/networking
Social sensing and crowd sensing techniques, applications, and systems
Complex systems comprising wearable, robotic and/or fixed sensor systems
IoT and Smart Systems for emerging and developing economies
Green and environmentally friendly IoT (low-power, harvesting, energy 
management)
Design and implementation of real-world applications and systems
Approaches, tools, and experience of deployment and operation
Interdisciplinary applications of IoT and Smart Systems
Smart healthcare and digital epidemiology
Smart agriculture
Smart infrastructures
Smart cities
Smart energy, transportation, and water distribution systems
Smart factories
Smart workspace
Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished manuscripts demonstrating 
current research on distributed smart systems and IoT related to the 
aforementioned topics of interest. Please use the US letter size (8.5 X 11 in) 
standard IEEE conference LaTeX format or Microsoft Word template available on: 
http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html.

All submissions should be written in English and have a maximum of eight (8) 
printed pages, including figures and references. Starting this year, DCOSS-IoT 
will follow a double-blind review process. As a result, authors must make a 
good faith effort to anonymize their submissions.  Although submission is 
double-blind, the existence or availability of non-anonymous preprints (on 
arXiv or other preprint servers) will not lead to your paper being rejected. 
Reviewers will be instructed not to look for such preprints actively, but 
encountering them will not constitute a conflict of interest. Papers that do 
not meet the size, formatting, and anonymization requirements will not be 
reviewed. We require each paper to be in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) 
and submitted through the HotCRP submission system.

*** Special Issue and Best Paper Awards ***

DCOSS-IoT 2023 will announce a best paper award and a best poster/demo award.

Extended versions of the selected best papers from DCOSS-IoT 2023 will be 
published in the Pervasive and Mobile Computing (PMC) Journal after a 
successful fast-track evaluation.
