advent of Software Defined Network (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization
(NFV) redefines the concept of Internet of Things (IoT) to make it more
compatible with next generation communication networks. The absolute random
service demands of end users make the researchers from industry and academia to
rearchitect the old network models and make it open, programmable and adaptive
in nature in order to provide real time user centric service demands. The
Internet of Softwarized Things (IoST) is a dynamic programable system of
interrelated and interconnected digital machineries and computational devices with
the ability to communicate informative data with out the intervention of human
being. The emergence of cellular networks like 5G introduces services to cover
all possible user to machine, machine to machine communication that provide the
optimum QoS (Quality of Service) and QoE (Quality of Experience) to the end
users. The openness in network architecture gives the TSPs (Telecomm Service
Providers) and TNOs (Telecom Network Operators) huge flexibility to add,
remove, update and modify any network services with no time. Uninterrupted
high-quality network services with minimum latency is one of the key features
of softwarized IoT in 5G will be aiming to deliver the same in the future day’s
cellular networks.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph">This
workshop is aiming to get original scientific contributions both in theoretical
and experimental researches and test case models, detailed experience reports
from experimental testbeds that will be extremely helpful in the upcoming tech
revelations. Furthermore, additional focus will be given to areas related to
the role of data mining and machine learning in modelling and deploying IoST.
It aims to present the most important and relevant advances to overcome the
challenges related to security, data analytics, and energy aware solutions in
Internet of Things.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"><b>Topics:<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph">We
