1.Introduction
***************

The Internet of Things (iThings) is a network of Internet-enabled objects,
which aims at increasing the ubiquity of the Internet by integrating every
object for interaction via embedded systems and leads to the highly distributed
network of devices communicating with human beings as well as other devices.
Combining with the infrastructures of the every heterogeneous networks
including Internet and mobile networks, these objects can communicate
with humans, and enable peoples to monitor and control them and enjoy
their intelligent services in anytime and anywhere.

The 2011 IEEE International Conference on Internet of Things (iThings 2011)
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 2011 is the
next edition of the successful series, previously held as IOTS 2010
(Hangzhou, China, December 2010), EPS 2009 (Vancouver, Canada, August 2009),
MINES 2009 (Hangzhou, China, May 2009), and MINES 2008 (Chengdu, China, July 2008).
