IEEE PICom 2018
The 16th IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Intelligence
and Computing (PICom 2018)
Athens, Greece, 12-15 August 2018

Sponsored by IEEE, IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Technical
Committee of Scalable Computing (TCSC)
=================================================================
PICom 2018 Call for Workshops and Special Session Proposals
Over the last fifty years, computational intelligence has evolved from
logic-based artificial intelligence, nature-inspired soft computing, and
social-oriented agent technology to cyber-physical integrated ubiquitous
intelligence towards Pervasive Intelligence (PI). The International
Conference on Pervasive Intelligence and Computing (PICom) is intended
to cover all kinds of these intelligent paradigms as well as their
applications in various pervasive computing domains. PICom-2018 will be
held on 12-15 August 2018 in Athens, Greece, co-located with IEEE
CyberSciTech 2018, IEEE DASC 2018 and DataCom 2018. It aims to bring
together computer scientists and engineers, to discuss and exchange
experimental and theoretical results, work-in-progress, novel designs,
and test-environments or test-beds in the important areas of Pervasive
Intelligence and Computing.
We are soliciting proposals for Workshops and Special Sessions that are
two important parts of PICom 2018. Workshops and special sessions
provide opportunities for focused discussions on selected topics related
to Pervasive Intelligence and Computing and are a great addition to the
main conference. They allow exploring topics that will not be fully
addressed during the main conference as well as to encourage in-depth
discussion of technical and application issues in subjects within the
conference scope.
Topics of interests include, but are not restricted to:
- Deep Learning and Deep Computation
- Big Data and Smart Data
- Brain-inspired Computing
- Crowd Souring and Intelligence
- Social Intelligence and Computing
- Agent-based Computing
- Ubiquitous Intelligence
- Cyber-Physical Computing
- The Internet of Things
- Cloud of Things and Cloud of Sensors
- Embedded HW, SW & Systems
- Pervasive Devices and RFIDs
- Wearable Devices and Applications
- Sensor Technology and Networks
- Pervasive Networks/Communications
- Edge and Fog Computing
- Mobile Edge Computing (MEC)
- Device Virtualization
- Privacy, Security and Trust
- Context-Aware Computing
- Mobile Data Mining
- Ubiquitous Data Mining
- Activity Recognition
- Cloud Computing
- Services for Pervasive Computing
- Smart Cities and Smart Homes
- Intelligent Social Networking
- Pervasive Technologies for ITS
- HCI for Pervasive Computing
- Mobile Data Modeling
- Middleware for Pervasive Computing
- Intelligent/Smart IoT
- Programming Abstractions for IoT
- Semantic Analysis
The proposals should contain the following information:
- The title of the Workshop/SS, including both full name and abbreviation
- The scope and objectives (up to 1 page)
- Short bios of the key organizers
- Brief plans for dissemination (e.g., how to advertise the Workshop/SS
or possible submissions to special issues of journals), procedures for
selecting papers (including the expected number of accepted papers), and
the expected number of participants
- A tentative website/URL of the proposed Workshop/SS (optional)
- If the proposed Workshop/SS has been previously organized, please also
briefly describe its history (e.g., number of submissions and accepted
papers, attendance, etc.)
Acceptance will be based on an evaluation of the workshop/SS topic, its
relevance to the main conference, the expected audience, and the
proposers ability to lead a successful event.
A single pdf file with all the material described above should be
submitted via email to the Workshop and Special Session Chairs (please
see the contact information below) by the deadline. Please use ìPICom
2018 Workshop/SS Proposal as the email subject. Accepted proposals
should follow strictly the important dates, particularly paper
notification and camera-ready dates listed below.
IMPORTANT DATES FOR PICOM 2018 WORKSHOPS/SS
=============================================
Proposal Submission: Feb. 10, 2018
Proposal Decision: Feb. 17, 2018
Paper Submission: Apr. 30, 2018
Author Notification: May 20, 2018
Camera-ready Papers: Jun. 15, 2018
For accepted proposals, organizers are responsible for composing the
corresponding Workshop/SS program committees, advertising call for
papers, reviewing submissions, and planning the final program. PICom
2018 Workshop/SS Chairs will assist the organization and ensure their
quality and success. The PICom Congress organizer will provide
facilities including the paper submission systems, working notes
printing, meeting rooms, coffee breaks, lunches, proceedings
preparation, etc.
A Workshop/SS paper should be 5-6 pages, following the same Paper
Submission Guidelines as the main Congress papers. Each paper should be
reviewed at least by two reviewers in the corresponding fields. All
accepted Workshop/SS papers will be included in the proceedings
published by IEEE-CS Conference Publishing Services in IEEE-DL and EI index.
Note that each workshop or special session should include at least 4
papers, otherwise it will be canceled. The accepted papers in a
cancelled Workshop/SS may be moved to another Workshop/SS, or to a main
Congress track if they fit the quality requirement. The registration
requirement and procedure for Workshop/SS papers will be determined by
PICom 2018 Organizing Committee, and the registration fee will be paid
directly to PICom 2018. The registration fee can be waived for a
Workshop/SSís main organizer if there are more than 10 accepted papers.
We are looking forward to receiving your exciting proposals.
