IEEE WF-IoT 2021 Call for Tutorial Proposal Submissions
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

IEEE 7th World Forum on Internet of Things (WF-IoT)
20-24 June 2021, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA.

Call for Tutorial Proposals
---------------------------------------

IEEE WF-IoT 2021 Tutorials will be held as part of the premier IEEE IoT
Initiative Conference to be held in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA 20-24 June
2021. The Tutorials are planned to be delivered in a face-face format, with
a provision to accommodate a limited number remotely (virtually). If there
are restrictions on conducting face-face meetings, or travel restrictions
in June 2021 then the Conference and the Tutorials will be held virtually –
we plan to make the final decision as warranted by the concerns for safety
of all participants in the Spring of 2021.

The IEEE WF-IoT 2021 solicits proposals for Half-day Tutorials that
complement the regular program with clear and focused coverage in new and
emerging topics within the scope of the conference. The theme for the World
Forum is “The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on IoT”. WF-IoT Tutorials
enable the researchers, developers and practitioners from academia and
industry to learn about state-of-the-art research and best practices.
Proposals should concisely describe the motivation, the content and the
structure of the tutorial. Revised and updated proposals are necessary for
previous submitted tutorial proposals.

The IEEE World Forum on the Internet of Things (WF-IoT 2021) seeks
tutorials proposal submissions that address but are not limited to the
following topics:

     •  Artificial Intelligence (ML, ANN) and Computational Intelligence in
IoT
