With the rapid advancements of mobile Internet, cloud computing and big data, device-centric traditional Internet of Things (IoT) is now moving into a new era which is termed as Internet of Things Services (IOTS). In this era, sensors and other types of sensing devices, wired and wireless networks, platforms and tools, data processing/visualization/analysis and integration engines, and other components of traditional IoT are interconnected through innovative services to realize the value of connected things, people, and virtual Internet spaces. The way of building new IoT applications is changing. We indeed need creative thinking, long-term visions, and innovative methodologies to respond to such a change. Sponsored by Services Society, the 2nd IEEE International Congress on Internet of Things (ICIOT 2017) is organized to continue promote research and application innovations around the world.

ICIOT is co-located with IEEE 2017 International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2017),IEEE 2017 13th World Congress on Services (SERVICES 2017), the 10th IEEE International Conference on Cloud Computing (CLOUD 2017), the 14th IEEE International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2017), the 6th International Congress on Big Data (BigData Congress 2017), the First IEEE International Conference on Congnitive Computing (ICCC 2017), the First IEEE International Congress on Edge Computing (EDGE 2017), and the 6th IEEE International Conference on AI & Mobile Services (AIMS 2017). All nine co-located theme topic conferences will all center around "services," while each focusing on exploring different themes (industry-specific services and enabling technologies, web-based services, cloud-based services, Big Data-based services, artificial intelligence, cognitive computing, fog/edge computing, services innovation lifecycle, and mobile services).
