Recent advances in wireless technology, micro-elecromechanical systems and the internet have enabled the Internet of things (IOT). In IOT, not only computers are connected to the internet, any object, animal or people could be connected to the internet.  Objects, animals, and people have a unique identifier (address). They can transfer data over the internet without requiring the human-to-computer interaction. The existing of different types of objects which are connected through the internet promote many research challenges. For example, huge amount of data are usually generated, processed and transferred. Special Internetworking infrastructure may be needed. Security and privacy issues become more critical.

The Seventh  International Workshop on the Future of the Internet of Things (FIT 2021) will be held in conjunction with  The 18th International Conference on Mobile Systems and Pervasive Computing August 9-12, 2021, Leuven, Belgium.  

The goal of the FIT2021 is to bring together multi-disciplinary researchers, professionals and practitioners from academia and industry who are involved in the field of internet of things to discuss recent advances and innovative ideas in this field.
