AMI – European Conference on Ambient Intelligence Call for Papers
The European Conference on Ambient Intelligence is the prime venue for research on Ambient Intelligence, with an international and interdisciplinary character. It brings together researchers from the fields of science, engineering, and, design working towards the vision of Ambient Intelligence.
Ami-15 will take place in Athens, from 11 to 13 November 2015. For more information click here: http://www.ami-conferences.org/2015/
Ami-15 will provide a meeting point for each of these communities, aiming for intensive networking and scientific debate, and shaping visions of the future. This year’s event focuses on a number of featured themes areas, each attracting a growing community of Ambient Intelligence researchers.
Special Issue on “Smart Internet of Things: technologies, protocols, applications”
CALL FOR PAPERS
Journal of Ambient Wireless Communications and Smart Environments (AMBIENTCOM)
Special Issue on “Smart Internet of Things: technologies, protocols, applications”
The term “Internet of Things” (IoT) refers to a world-wide network of uniquely identifiable interconnected objects that embed sensors and actuator and can seamlessly interoperate using communication protocols. Objects of the physical world become equipped with unique identifiers (having specific identities and virtual personalities), are linked to the Internet and therefore can connect, communicate and interoperate with each other. At the same time, they can be managed using easy-to-use web applications. The number of potential IoT applications is vast, covering almost every sector of human activity. Nonetheless, the full realization of the concept of IoT still faces many challenges.
The goal of this Special Issue is to collect papers presenting smart solutions to address IoT challenges, actualize intelligent IoT systems and apply IoT in smart environments. Papers should describe concepts, models, technologies, approaches, methodologies and practices of Internet of Things.
The Special Issue will collect paper submissions from open call as well as the best papers from the European Conference on Ambient Intelligence (AmI 2015).
Topics of interest, all from the perspectives of smart IoT, include, but are not limited to:
- System architectures, communication protocols and technologies for IoT
- Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications
- Big Data processing and analysis for IoT
- Human-System interaction and user centred IoT systems
- Sensors, smart devices and Cyber Physical Systems (CPS)
- Energy-efficient algorithms and systems
- Security, privacy and trust issues
- Middleware and service platforms
- Applications (Smart Cities, Smart Home/Buildings, Smart Grid, Healthcare, Smart Environment)
- Emerging topics and advances in IoT research

International Workshop on “The Role and Prospects of Cultural Mediation”
In contemporary societies, native populations live side by side with migrant populations and ethnic minorities. As a result, conflicts and social exclusion may arise, thus calling for the implementation of conflict resolution measures. Cultural mediation is a form of mediation between two or more disputing parties that are presumed as having different cultures which, in a way, are responsible for conflict creation.
The workshop is organized by the Hellenic Open University in the context of the European Project TIPS, T – Learning to Improve Professional Skills for intercultural dialogue which is funded under the Leonardo da Vinci programme. The aims of the workshop are to discuss the vital role and the prospects of Cultural Mediators in a pluralistic Europe, to identify the competences that professional Cultural Mediators must develop and describe their educational and training needs, to research the potential of applying information and communication technology in training Cultural Mediators and to present the achievements and the progress of project TIPS.
The event is open and participation is free of cost. A certificate of attendance will be given to registered participants. The official language of the event is English and there is the ability to attend online via the internet, through the TIPS project website (http://www.forcom.it/tipsproject).
A photo exhibition titled “Snapshots of a “limited” life” will be organized in the context of the workshop.
