Submission deadline: Friday 2nd September, 2022

The adoption of IoT technologies and the harnessing of their economic 
value, represents a process that takes place continually at the 
intersection between developments in three major domains: social, 
technical, and economic.  This is because the IoT is much more than just 
products and services. ‘Things’ are the visible part of the IoT, 
however, what the IoT really represents, and how it works, goes way 
beyond devices. We call these interrelated collections of physical and 
digital objects (sensors, data stores, 3rd parties, business models, 
actuators, and so on) IoT constellations. As artificial intelligence, 
data science, and machine learning become more sophisticated, the power 
of these constellations will become increasingly apparent, and will 
impact on all aspects of our lives. Therefore, it is critical we fully 
understand the social and technical interdependencies, opportunities and 
challenges that exist now and in the future. 

Being able to demonstrate that IoT and modern networks can increase 
security, safety, and resilience when used well, is essential. Bringing 
together socio-technical researchers to better understand safe and 
resilient IoT systems, in a way that is culturally appropriate and 
ethically acceptable and that breeds rather than subverts confidence, is 
the focus of this workshop.

This workshop considers research that examines both social and technical 
issues relating to the resilience and cybersecurity of IoT devices, 
systems, and networks. To this end, we aim to bring together researchers 
to discuss socio-technical challenges and opportunities of IoT 
technologies, multi-scale deployments of embedded technologies in smart 
cities, Industry 4.0, logistics, etc. In doing so, it is important to 
compare local and international regulation, standardization and 
certification, and public trust in such technologies, and to examine the 
cybersecurity and resilience of dual-use technologies. This research 
informs cybersecurity of critical infrastructure, resilience and current 
geopolitical challenges, international alliances and collaboration, 
supply-chain security, and preparedness.

The workshop will be hosted within the 12th International Conference of 
the Internet of Things, November 7–10, at the Faculty of Industrial 
Design Engineering (IDE), on the TU Delft campus (the Netherlands). 
(https://iot-conference.org/iot2022/). The workshop will be held on the 
7th of November 2022.

List of topics:

We seek submissions that combine the understanding of socio and 
technical approaches to the resilience and security of IoT systems. 
Within this domain, particular topics of interest include, but are not 
limited to:

Agile and Self-management architectures for IoT security and resilience
Technical and Social emergent behaviours and IoT resilience to faults 
and threats
Secure decentralised edge processing to mitigate faults and threats
Law, Economics for security and resilience
Public Value of IoT and Applications of IoT to bring Resilience
Resilient Security IoT for the Long-term (physical decay, 
updates/maintenance, aging)
IoT verification with the human-in-the-loop
Security-by-Design; Privacy-by-Design, Resilience-by-Design
Physical Layer Schemes for IoT/CPS key generation
Ethics; Responsible and Resilient Innovation
