SCOPE
Recent studies and reports have evinced that the Internet of Things will
have a huge impact on our society. Conservative estimates predict there
will be 50 billion of connected devices by 2020. Besides connecting
real-time such numbers of objects, managing them and the data they
generate will also pose challenges whether each of these produce no more
than few bytes per minute in a very remote location or heavy
data-streams within the heart of "resource rich" smart cities. Simply
looking at the sheer size of these numbers, it is clear that competing
for end-user attention will be the main hurdle to overcome.
To put it in Mark Weiser's words, these objects will have to "weave
themselves into the fabric of our everyday life" leveraging on the
features of a more Cognitive IoT where connected "things" become more
intelligent and more autonomous. All this abundance of information
sources generated by the ubiquitous computing phenomena opens new
perspectives for many Artificial Intelligence branches, such as decision
making strategies, reasoning, learning, etc.
Cognitive IoT aims at gathering enthusiastic researchers and
practitioners from AI and IoT-related areas sharing the common goal of
addressing the new challenges posed by the Cognitive aspect of IoT, by
using new or leveraging existing Artificial Intelligence techniques.
HIGHLIGHTS
The event is endorsed by the European Alliance for Innovation, a leading
community-based organization devoted to the advancement of innovation in
the field of ICT and will be co-located with the IOT360 Summit;
Participation in this event will give attendees the unique opportunity
to be exposed to all technical scientific aspects of IoT related topic
areas at co-located conferences, as well as be able to have full access
to the IoT market place and business aspects in practice at the IOT 360
Summit.
All accepted papers will be published by Springer and made available
through SpringerLink Digital Library. Best papers will be invited to
publish in the EAI Endorsed Transactions on Cognitive Communications.
CONFERENCE TOPICS
The list of covered topics is, without being limited to, as follows:
- Knowledge representation in IoT
- Decision making strategies in IoT, data fusion
- Learning under IoT constraints
- Pattern recognition in IoT
- Biometrics for the IoT
- Individual and social behavior analysis through IoT sensing mechanisms
- Context aware data management
- Environmental monitoring, network surveillance
- Multi agent strategies
- Transfer learning, information-theoretic learning
- Bio-inspired intelligence, neural networks for IoT
- Deep learning for IoT
WORKSHOPS PROPOSALS
The COIOTE 2014 Conference caters for a limited number of workshops on
dedicated session topics. The aim of these workshops is to discuss work
in progress and explore opportunities for new research related to a
topic of interest within the context of the conference. Details on
submitting workshop proposals can be found here
(http://coiot.org/2014/show/cf-workshops).
PAPER SUBMISSION
- Papers should be no more than 6 pages in length. Complete formatting
and submission instructions can be found here.
- Submissions will be reviewed anonymously by at least three expert
reviewers.
- Papers will be judged on originality, correctness, clarity and
relevance. Submitted papers must be original work, and may not be under
consideration for another conference or journal.
- Submission of the paper implies agreement of the author(s) to attend
the conference and present the paper if accepted.
- For additional information see the registration information page, here
(http://coiot.org/2014/show/initial-submission).
PUBLICATION
Accepted papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings and by
Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes of ICST (LNICST). The proceedings
will be available both in book form and via the SpringerLink digital
library, which is one of the largest digital libraries online and covers
a variety of scientific disciplines.
LNICST volumes are submitted for inclusion to leading indexing services,
including DBLP, Google Scholar, ACM Digital Library, ISI Proceedings, EI
Engineering Index, CrossRef, Scopus and Zentralblatt Math, as well as
ICST's own EU Digital Library (EUDL).
Selected papers will be published also in the EAI Endorsed Transactions
on Cognitive Communications.
