It is with great pleasure to welcome you to The 5th edition of Conference
on Cloud and Internet of Things 2021 will be held from November 8
to November 10, 2021 in Marrakech, Morocco.

CIoT provides a high-quality international academic and industrial exchange
forum for experts and scholars in the field of intelligent systems, cloud
computing and Internet of Things.

The conference will be designed and prepared as a in person event. However,
in the case of perduring traveling restrictions (official or de facto)
during the conference dates due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we will be ready
to convert the conference to a fully on-line event.
We hope the conditions will allow for in-person participation, so we can
enjoy face-to-face discussions and coffee breaks again. It would also give
the opportunity to participants to visit the beautiful city of Marrakech.

CIoT is a conference focusing on the challenges of managing Internet of
Things applications while considering the whole end-to-end architecture
over the sixth generation of mobile networks (6G) and next-generation data
center networking from to cloud to the edge and IoT devices. The next
generation of telecommunication networks is expected to support a growing
number of smart terminals, such as cell phones, sensors and other connected
objects, to provide real-time applications and to provide intelligence and
trust embedded in network infrastructure. To meet these requirements, the
6G envisions the use of artificial intelligence, cloud and edge computing.
The 6G network will absorb the billions of flows generated by things while
considering the requested QoS and the cohabitation of M2M, M2H and H2M
flows. Then, the flows will be processed in data centers and applications
will exploit the extracted knowledge.

The main objective of CIoT'21 is to address challenges of clouds and IoT
systems from the sensors/machines to the end-users attached to the Cloud
while considering the 6G network connecting both IoT and Cloud domains.


Authors are invited to submit original contributions that have not been
published or submitted for publication elsewhere. Papers should be prepared
using the IEEE 2-column conference style and are limited to 8 pages (full
papers). They have to be submitted electronically in PDF format. Papers
exceeding page limits, multiple submissions, and self-plagiarized papers
will be rejected without further review. All other papers will sustain a
thorough single-blind review process.

CIoT'21 will also hold an industrial track. The industrial track gathers
scholars and industrial participants to highlight practical and real-world
studies and applications of cloud and IoT technologies. This track aims to
foster cooperation between participants engaged in scientific research and
practitioners working to improve the development of new cloud and IoT
applications. Each submission should describe the problem addressed, the
approach used, the current state of the project, an evaluation of the
benefits or lessons learned, and future developments. Industrial track
submissions are extended abstracts of 2 pages.

All submissions must be written in English and must use standard IEEE
two-column conference template, available for download from the IEEE
website: https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html

Only PDF files will be accepted for the review process and all submissions
must be done electronically through EDAS using the following link:
https://edas.info/N28114

The technical papers presented at the conference will be invited to submit
an extended version in the Special Issue Electronics for Agriculture,
MDPI Journal
https://www.mdpi.com/journal/electronics/special_issues/eagriculture_electronics

Best papers will be considered for fast-track publication in a special
issue of Annals of Telecommunications (Springer, ISI-indexed)
