IEEE AIoT 2025 aims at bringing together interested parties (universities,
research centers, industries and stakeholders) from around the world
working in the fields of AI and Internet of Things to exchange opinions,
discuss brand-new ideas, developing innovative and emerging solutions, and
establishing new collaborations.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) are two of
the most rapidly evolving and interdependent fields of technology. The
convergence of these two fields is leading to the creation of an emerging
interdisciplinary field, dubbed the Artificial Intelligence of Things
(AIoT). The AIoT represents the integration of AI technologies into IoT
systems and devices, enabling them to interact with their environment in
more sophisticated and intelligent ways. By combining IoT with AI, the data
collected by distributed nodes can be utilized by applying AI techniques
such as machine learning and deep learning. As a result, machine learning
capabilities are moved closer to the data source.

The IEEE AIoT Conference aims to explore the integration of artificial
intelligence (AI) technologies into the Internet of Things (IoT) systems
and devices, enabling them to interact with their environment in more
sophisticated and intelligent ways. The conference will focus on the
following areas:

l AIoT Architectures, Frameworks, and Algorithms: Developing novel AIoT
architectures, frameworks, and algorithms for deploying state-of-the-art
machine learning and deep learning algorithms on IoT and edge devices,
realising the so-called Edge AI or Edge Intelligence;

l AIoT Applications: Identifying and exploring new AIoT applications,
including healthcare, smart homes, industrial automation, transportation,
and digital agriculture;

l Standards and Interoperability: Developing standards and protocols for
AIoT systems and ensuring interoperability between different platforms and
devices; and

l Ethics and Security: Addressing ethical and security concerns related to
AIoT, such as privacy, transparency, and accountability.

IEEE AIoT 2024 aims at bringing together interested parties (universities,
research centers, industries and stakeholders) from around the world
working in the fields of AI and Internet of Things to exchange opinions,
discuss brand-new ideas, developing innovative and emerging solutions, and
establishing new collaborations.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) are two of
the most rapidly evolving and interdependent fields of technology. The
convergence of these two fields is leading to the creation of an emerging
interdisciplinary field, dubbed the Artificial Intelligence of Things
(AIoT). The AIoT represents the integration of AI technologies into IoT
systems and devices, enabling them to interact with their environment in
more sophisticated and intelligent ways. By combining IoT with AI, the data
collected by distributed nodes can be utilized by applying AI techniques
such as machine learning and deep learning. As a result, machine learning
capabilities are moved closer to the data source.

The IEEE AIoT Conference aims to explore the integration of artificial
intelligence (AI) technologies into the Internet of Things (IoT) systems
and devices, enabling them to interact with their environment in more
sophisticated and intelligent ways. The conference will focus on the
following areas:
l AIoT Architectures, Frameworks, and Algorithms: Developing novel AIoT
architectures, frameworks, and algorithms for deploying state-of-the-art
machine learning and deep learning algorithms on IoT and edge devices,
realising the so-called Edge AI or Edge Intelligence;
l AIoT Applications: Identifying and exploring new AIoT applications,
including healthcare, smart homes, industrial automation, transportation,
and digital agriculture;
l Standards and Interoperability: Developing standards and protocols for
AIoT systems and ensuring interoperability between different platforms and
devices; and
l Ethics and Security: Addressing ethical and security concerns related to
AIoT, such as privacy, transparency, and accountability.

Authors are cordially invited to submit their original papers within the
eHealth area. The topics include but are not limited to:
1. 1. Edge AI and Distributed Intelligence

We recognize that many Indigenous Nations have longstanding relationships with the territories upon which York University campuses are located that precede the establishment of York University. York University acknowledges its presence on the traditional territory of many Indigenous Nations. The area known as Tkaronto has been care taken by the Anishinabek Nation, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, and the Huron-Wendat. It is now home to many First Nation, Inuit and Métis communities. We acknowledge the current treaty holders, the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. This territory is subject of the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement to peaceably share and care for the Great Lakes region.

[DMANET] [PhD] Position in Interaction Networks and Dynamic Graphs - Le Havre Normandy University (France) - Deadline: May, 21st.

Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce a *fully funded PhD position* at *Le Havre
Normandy University (France)*, within the *LITIS laboratory*, in the
RI2C research group (Interaction Networks and Collective Intelligence).


Title
-----

Analysis of the Dynamics of Interaction Networks and their Resilience


Context and Subject
-------------------

Whether they are highly publicized like social networks, essential for
the functioning of our society like transportation networks (maritime,
aerial, road, electrical), or simply ubiquitous in biological processes,
complex networks are an integral part of daily life.

Although they originate from very diverse fields, they share many common
characteristics.  These networks exhibit remarkable adaptability and
robustness to disruptions.  These properties emerge from the dynamic
interactions among their constituent elements. Despite these qualities,
their capacity for resilience to shocks is not without limits, and
tipping points may exist.

This project aims to study, characterize, and quantify the dynamics of
such networks and to identify tipping points that may lead to radically
different, altered structures, properties, or even systemic collapse. 
The networks studied will include transportation systems (particularly
maritime networks) and biological networks, for which reliable datasets
are already available.  The expected outcomes include a better
understanding of how external (exogenous) factors influence internal
(endogenous) dynamic processes governing the evolution of these systems.

Finally, this work will produce publicly available, usable datasets for
the study of dynamic networks and graphs, in various open formats.

Candidate Profile
-----------------

Education: Master's degree (or equivalent) in Computer Science, Applied
Mathematics, or related fields.
Desired skills and qualities:
  (1) Graph analysis and algorithms.
  (2) Data analysis.
  (3) Open-mindedness towards other disciplines (biology, economics,
sociology, etc.).
  (4) Algorithms and programming (experience with Java would be a plus).
  (5) Good command of English (reading, writing, speaking), especially
for international collaborations.

Practical Information
---------------------

Starting date: October 2025 (flexible)
Duration: 3 years
Location: Le Havre Normandy University, LITIS Laboratory (Le Havre, France)
Funding: Fully funded PhD position (doctoral contract)
Indicative salary: Approximately €2100 gross/month

Supervision
-----------

The PhD will be supervised by:
Prof. Frédéric Guinand (frederic.guinand@univ-lehavre.fr)
Prof. Yoann Pigné (yoann.pigne@univ-lehavre.fr)

Application
-----------

Application files must include:
  (1) A 1-2 page document explaining how you would approach the
proposed research topic.
      You may choose a specific type of network to illustrate your ideas.
      This is NOT a motivation letter.
  (2) A detailed CV and Master's (or engineering school) academic
transcripts.
  (3) A list of academic or professional contacts who can support your
application.

Application deadline: May 20, 2025.
Contact for applications and further information: see supervision section.
