The software development conference buildingIoT will be held in Cologne at the KOMED from May 10 to 12, 2016. The conference sheds a light on the full spectrum of topics connected to the Internet of Things and Industry 4.0, focusing on the technical implementation in an enterprise environment. The new event wants to convey basics and central aspects, while giving room to present the most important theories, tools and experiences to tap the full potential of existing infrastructures.

The organisers of buildingIoT are heise Developer, the online channel for software development; dpunkt.verlag, publisher of reference books for the professional computing scene; and iX, the magazine for professional information technology. They invite interested parties to submit proposals for talks (40 and 75 minutes) and trainings (7 hours) on the following topics:

Concepts and basics

  • Fundamentals in hardware, electronics and information technologies for software developers

  • Testing complex IoT systems
  • User interfaces, UX
  • IoT and Big Data, handling of data streams and analysis thereof

Technologies

  • Protocols and communication standards
  • Microcontrollers
  • Sensors, actuators
  • Connectivity
  • IoT platforms in the cloud

  • Secure data transfer and storage
  • Secure project design and architectures
  • data protection and privacy

Experiences

  • Experiences with transitioning and expanding software projects into interconnected and data driven products
  • Interaction and integration of different tools (presented in a context of their specific field of application and different scenarios)
  • Use case, that could profit from integrating IoT concepts
  • “IoT in one's own four walls”: How did we implement that within our company?

The organisers are looking for proposals for long (75 minutes) and short (40 minutes) sessions, trainings are scheduled for a duration of 7 hours (full-day workshops).
