Scope 

6G, the next generation communication system, is expected to satisfy unprecedented requirements on system performance in terms of throughput, latency, massive connections, and so on. In the 6G era, with the hyper-connectivity among humans and everything, we are anticipating Internet of Things (IoT) applications in various fields, including smart city, smart factory, smart home, smart grid, e-health, smart farming, and smart transportation, accompanied by new services with rich experiences, such as truly immersive VR/AR/MR (XR), etc. However, in order to facilitate these emerging IoT applications, we have to discuss the following issues. First, due to the heterogeneity of networking entities, various application requirements, and limited resources in IoT environments, greener and more advanced new hardware and software upgrades are required. Future IoT systems feature a larger number of devices and multi-access environments where different types of wireless spectrum, including Sub-6 GHz, Millimetre-wave, and Terahertz technologies, should be efficiently utilized. The increased in the number of IoT devices also increases the challenges in keeping a net zero carbon emission rate, hence creating difficulties to meet COP26 goals. To overcome these issues, a resource efficient IoT architecture should be designed to deal with the limited storage and computational capability of IoT devices. Other technologies, such intelligent reflecting surface (IRS), multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO), etc., are needed to be altered to support the challenges faced by these resource constraint IoT devices. It is also crucial to determine the type and amount of data to be shared, stored, and processed among the different network entities with heterogeneous characteristics in an IoT environment. Moreover, the network environment and system requirements change with the space and time domains, which require intelligent approaches in perception, networking, and control. It is envisioned that the collaborative intelligence is the enabler for collaborative and greener IoT systems. To enable a greener and smarter society, more research efforts should be conducted on collaborative intelligence and to incorporate new hardware upgrades for IoT systems to expedite the applications of emerging IoT technologies. Therefore, this workshop aims at addressing the technical challenges for enabling collaborative intelligence and hardware upgrades for IoT systems, to support a greener and smarter society and to help IoT based companies to keep the 1.50 C goal of COP26 alive.

Only technical papers describing previously unpublished, original, state-of-the-art research, and not currently under review by a conference or a journal will be considered.
