The International Symposium-F on “Wireless Communication Networking and
IoT” was successfully held at VIT University, Chennai, during March 23–25, 2017,
as part of ICNETS2.
The symposium convenes the researchers and practitioners working on Wireless
Communication Networking and Internet of Things to discuss the current trends,
breakthroughs, technical challenges, and future services and applications. The
symposium featured two keynote speakers from universities abroad. The lecture by
Dr. Adamu, on “Terrestrial to underground wireless sensor networks: Design factors and transmission cost” created a great inquisitiveness among the participants to
explore the issues arising in wireless networks. Dr. Elizabeth Chang, University of
New South Wales and Australian Defence Force Academy, Canberra, Australia,
delivered a lecture on the experimental analysis in the context of “Cyber Situational
Awareness for CPS, 5G and IoT” which created an impact on creating security
frameworks based on ontology.
Over the past decades, the emergence of the advanced wireless technologies has
attracted many researchers and academicians to explore in the fields of nextgeneration networks and Internet of things. Recent advances in computing have
created a new dimension of research in the field of sensor networks in connecting
the physical world to the digital world. The sessions focussed on resolving the
challenges in the existing communication protocols connecting the different
embedded devices in different scenarios, which deserves our special attention.
