2nd International Workshop on the Internet of Time-Critical Things (IoTime 2023)

With the advances in the interconnection of devices and applications, industrial and consumer applications have adopted the Internet of Things (IoT) as a core component of their systems. In such contexts, precise time and timeliness in task execution are fundamental requirements for emerging IoT applications and new experiences. Industry 4.0, mobile and collaborative robots, autonomous systems, and immersive and interactive human-cyber experiences are only examples of IoT-based domains where precise time, computing, and communication with bounded latencies are strictly required. Furthermore, these applications might be time-critical and safety-critical as they often involve interactions between humans and machines. Such stringent time and safety requirements bring new practical challenges and opportunities to revolutionize computing and communication infrastructure's traditional design, deployment, and management. New concepts in software-defined systems and networks, cloud/edge computing, Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN), Wi-Fi 6/7, 5G, 6G, dynamic, AI-driven resource orchestration, and Edge AI are emerging as potential building blocks to enable the transformation of computing and communications infrastructure to enable emerging time-critical applications.
