18th International Conference on Intelligent Environments (IE2022),
20-23 June 2022, Biarritz, France
http://ie2022.iutbayonne.univ-pau.fr/
Important Dates:
Conference paper submission: 1 December 2021
Communication of results: 15 February 2022
Camera ready: 28 March 2022
The 18th International Conference on Intelligent Environments (IE2022)
will be held in 2022 in Biarritz, France, from June 20th to June 23rd.
The IE Conference is recognized as a major annual venue in the area. It
has been hosted all around the world and offers a truly international
forum that encourages rich exchanges. Intelligent environments refer to
physical spaces in which information and communication technologies are
woven with sensing/acting technologies in order to create interacting
spaces enhancing occupants' experience. The ultimate objective of such
environments is to provide services to occupants, enrich their
activities but also to develop their awareness.
Conference Program. IE is a multidisciplinary event welcoming
contribution from a diversity of relevant areas including sensing,
networking, human-computer interaction, artificial intelligence,
software engineering, context-awareness, internet of things, pervasive
and ubiquitous computing, etc. The event will include regular full/short
papers, a Doctoral Colloquium, a Posters Session and Demos Session as
well as an Industrial Forum. Special Sessions will focus on specific
topics (details further down).
Keynote Speakers. The conference will include keynote lectures of the
following distinguished speakers:
· Prof. Jiannong Cao, Chair Professor of Distributed and Mobile
Computing, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong
· Prof. Christine Julien, Annis & Jack Bowen Professor in
Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, The University of
Texas at Austin, U.S.A
· Dr. Maria-Antonietta Grasso, Principal Scientist UX and
Ethnography, Naverlabs, France
Publications. All full and short papers accepted in the main conference
will be published in indexed proceedings (currently in negotiation with
IEEE, as in previous editions). All papers accepted in the workshops
program will be published in Open Access 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.
