It is our honor and pleasure to welcome everyone to the SmartObjects 2017 Workshop. This is the 3rd edition of a workshop that wants to become a point of attraction for researchers in the area. Internet of Things, Smart-cities and Fog computing are representative examples of modern ICT paradigms that aim to describe a dynamic and global cooperative infrastructure built upon objects intelligence and self-configuring capabilities; these connected objects are finding their way into vehicles (smart-cars), urban areas (smart-cities) and infrastructure (smart-grid).
The increased smartness of the participating objects is crucial to solve the issues derived from the required cooperation and possibly unpredictable and intense mobility. The objects can move in many different ways, covering transportation means from (i) terrestrial, like cars or trains, to (ii) aerial like drones or planes, and (iii) underwater ships. Even static objects should be flexible enough to efficiently handle on-off patterns imposed for energy savings.
The SmartObjects workshop focuses on experiences with the design, implementation, deployment, operation and evaluation of novel communication approaches and systems for smart objects in the emerging cooperative environments. The contributions presented in this workshop described original and previously unpublished works addressing key issues and challenges in the smart objects arena.
The workshop received 12 submissions from 10 different countries, from which four contributions where selected as full papers and two as posters. Finally, four invited papers from renowned researchers in the area further enrich the program.

SCARF: A SoCial-Aware Reliable Forwarding Technique for Vehicular Communications
The Internet-of-Vehicles allows the coexistence of traditional Internet applications with the Internet-of-Things, so that vehicles can communicate not only among them but also to neighboring devices and humans as well. In this context, the human social ...
Collaborative Cognitive Content Dissemination and Query in Heterogeneous Mobile Opportunistic Networks
This paper investigates complex challenges of opportunistic discovery of content stored in remote mobile devices and delivery to the requesting nodes in heterogeneous mobile disconnection prone environments. We propose new latency aware collaborative ...
The Hive: An Edge-based Middleware Solution for Resource Sharing in the Internet of Things
With today's unprecedented proliferation in smart-devices, the Internet of Things Vision has become more of a reality than ever. With the extreme diversity of applications running on these heterogeneous devices, numerous middle-ware solutions have ...
Distributed Data Collection Control in Opportunistic Mobile Crowdsensing
Many researchers have nowadays shown a paramount interest in the rising field of Mobile Crowdsensing (MCS). Such paradigm is considered an easy and cost-effective choice for observing phenomena of common interest within the scope of Smart Cities and ...
Poster: Time Analysis of the Feasibility of Vehicular Blocktrees
In this paper we evaluate the feasibility of the vehicular blocktree proposed by Joy whereby vehicles write and aggregate their signatures to a blockchain. We analyze the end to end cycle time to collect, write, and persist the content to the blockchain ...
Poster: Smart Object-Oriented Dynamic Energy Management for Base Stations in Smart Cities
In smart object networks, traffic loads vary spatially and temporally, so base stations (BSes) are usually deployed redundantly. Previous research has focused on powering on/off BSes based on traffic loads to save energy. However, BSes are not the ...
Smart and Very Distant Objects
This work addresses the feasibility of extreme long distance links based on LoRa technology. We developed a specialized low-cost and highly sensitive hardware based on the LoRa chipset and deployed it in a 316km long link. Received signal strength, ...
Virtual Cellular ISPs
Achieving reliable cellular connectivity in rural areas is a challenge for several reasons: lack of economic incentives for telecom providers; high deployment and maintenance costs; low purchasing power; poor and unreliable power infrastructures; poor ...
Managing IoT at the Edge: The Case for BLE Beacons
Managing IoT devices in urban areas is becoming crucial because the majority of people living in cities and the number of deployed IoT devices are steadily increasing. In this paper we present iConfig, an edge-driven platform dedicated to manage IoT ...
A Proposal for a Publish/Subscribe, Disruption Tolerant Content Island for Fog Computing
The performance of applications for the Internet of Things (IoT) depends on the availability of effective transport services offered by the underlying network. In this sense, Fog Computing aims to provide alternative networking models that offer higher ...
