Welcome Message from the General Chairs

Internet of Things (IoT) has been attracting attention due to its economic impact and high expectations for drastically changing our societies. Trillion-scale IoT devices including sensors and actuators are being installed in "things" such as machines, humans, vehicles, buildings, and environments in the near future. At the same time, we are facing research challenges on how to effectively, timely and integratedly handle these over trillion flows gushed from massive devices or heterogeneous pervasive systems.

Based on the success of our previous workshops, IFoT 2016 and PerFoT 2018, the third edition, the 2019 International Workshop on Pervasive Flow of Things (PerFoT 2019) aims to present and discuss research challenges, design/ implementations of new architectures, and experiences on timely/real-time utilization of massive information flows (or data streams) as well as interoperability, integration and coordination among different pervasive systems possibly with different paradigms and from different epochs.

The workshop received 10 submissions and accepted 9 regular papers out of them. Adding two papers from the UMIQUE workshop, we have a very exciting program consisting of 11 papers that cover a wide area of the above challenges.

We would like to thank all the authors who contributed papers and the technical program committee members for completing reviews under a very tight schedule. Finally, we thank the PerCom 2019 workshop chairs, Takahiro Hara, Delphine Reinhardt and Nirmalya Roy for all the support during the organization of the workshops.
