Intelligent Environments (IE) refer to physical spaces in which IT and other pervasive computing technology are woven and used to achieve specific goals for the user, the environment or both. IEs have the ultimate objective of enriching user experience, better manage, and increase user awareness of that environment. The 12th International Conference on Intelligent Environments (IE’16) will be held at the city of London, one of the most influential cities in the modern world with a rich offer to visitors.
- Conference Program:The conference provides a multidisciplinary collaborative forum for researchers and practitioners from Computer Science, Electronic Engineering, Building Architecture, Art & Design, Sociology, Government and Education to present theoretical and practical results related to the development and applications of Intelligent Environments. The event will include regular full/short papers as well as a Doctoral Colloquium, a Posters Session and Demos & Videos Session.
- Workshops Program: as in previous editions,a number of workshops will complement the main conference program. Papers accepted in any of the workshops sponsored by this conference will be included in one Proceedings volume that will collect the contributions in all workshops, see more details in the publications section.
- Publications: all papers accepted in the main conference will be published in an indexed proceedings (currently in negotiation with IEEE, as in previous editions). All papers accepted in the Workshops program will be published as a volume of the Ambient Intelligence and Smart Environments Series (ISI indexed) of IOS Press and electronically available through ACM Digital Library.
- Industrial Forum: this will be a networking event and an opportunity for the business sector to showcase their innovation.
- Tutorials Programme: for this edition we will include a number of tutorials by well-known colleagues on important topics.
- Special Issues:a number of journal issues will be published encompassing core areas of the event.
- Special Sessions: selected topics will qualify to be considered as special tracks organized by members from our scientific community. More details will be released through the webpageof the event.
- Awards:these will recognize the best Full Paper, Short Paper, Doctoral Colloquium (DC) paper, Demo, and Video.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
| Ambient intelligence | Smart buildings |
| Ubiquitous/Pervasive computing | Smart educational technology |
| Context awareness | Sustainable design |
| HCI | Smart cities |
| Wearables | AAL |
| Robotics | Sensors |

Submission
Authors are invited to submit regular full papers no more than eight (8) pages (including any data, figures and references) in standard IEEE double-column format. All papers submitted to IE’16 must be unpublished previously and should not be undergoing consideration for publication elsewhere during IE’16 review period.
Papers submitted to any of the other conference tracks (Short papers, Doctoral Colloquium, and Demos and Video Sessions) have a length limit of 4 pages. Papers accepted in any of these tracks will also be included in the Conference Proceedings. Notice there will be different deadlines for different categories of submissions.
All papers accepted in the main conference will be electronically available through IEEE Explore. The Intelligent Environments conference is currently indexed by both EI Compendex and Thomson’s Web of Science (Thomson ISI) and the 2016 edition will also be submitted for indexing. All papers accepted in the Workshops program will be published as a volume of the Ambient Intelligence and Smart Environments Series of IOS Press and electronically available through ACM Digital Library. Both proceedings will be ISI indexed.
