The Internet of Things (IoT) technology offers unprecedented opportunities to interconnect human beings as well as Machine-to-Machine (M2M), whereby networks across the edge-cloud continuum allow all things to communicate and share vital information, allowing us to have an instrumented universe where accurate data is readily available to inform optimal decision making. Indeed, the IoT has opened up for the development of novel types of services and applications in various application domains. It has changed how people go about their lives. The number of heterogeneous objects connected to the Internet is growing very fast. Ericsson estimates the number will be close to 38 billion objects by 2029. Others believe the actual number will be even higher with the assumption that any object with a simple microcontroller and on-off switch will be connected to the Internet in the near future. The scale of the IoT is set to have major economic, social, and environmental impacts; the intersection of which forms the future sustainable growth. The international conference on Internet of Things: Systems, Management, and Security (IoTSMS) aims at soliciting original ideas on the broad area of IoT, including challenges and opportunities, concepts and applications, and future trends. The IoTSMS aims to facilitate discussions among academics and IoT practitioners and make positive contributions to the field.
