TThe Internet of Things (iThings) is a network of Internet-enabled
objects and internet-based services, which aims at increasing the
ubiquity of the Internet by integrating every object/service for
interaction and leads to the highly distributed network of devices

with the infrastructures of the every heterogeneous networks including
Internet and mobile networks, these objects can communicate with humans,
and enable peoples to enjoy their intelligent services anytime, anywhere.

The 2012 IEEE International Conference on Internet of Things
(iThings'12) 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. iThings'12 is the next edition of the successful series,
previously held as iThings'11 (Dalian, China), IOTS 2010 (Hangzhou,
China), MINES 2009 (Hangzhou, China), and MINES 2008 (Chengdu, China).
