The 1st tinyML Research Symposium, 2021 – Extended Deadline

November 24th, 2020 Daniela Lopez de Luise

tinyML Research Symposium 2021

First International Research Symposium on Tiny Machine Learning (tinyML)

Burlingame, CA Mar 22 2021 https://tinyml.org/home/index.html tinyml-research-symposium@googlegroups.com

About tinyML Research Symposium

Tiny machine learning (tinyML) is a fast-growing field of machine learning technologies and applications including algorithms, hardware, and software capable of performing on-device sensor (vision, audio, IMU, biomedical, etc.) data analytics at extremely low power, typically in the mW range and below, and hence enabling a variety of always-on use-cases and targeting battery-operated devices. tinyML systems are becoming “good enough” for (i) many commercial applications and new systems on the horizon; (ii) significant progress is being made on algorithms, networks, and models down to 100 kB and below; and (iii) initial low power applications in vision and audio are becoming mainstream and commercially available. There is growing momentum demonstrated by technical progress and ecosystem development.

To nurture innovation and growth in this emerging area within machine learning, the first annual tinyML research symposium serves as a flagship venue for research at the intersection of machine learning applications, algorithms, software, and hardware in deeply embedded machine learning systems. Accepted papers will be published in the form of peer-reviewed online proceedings. An author of an accepted paper will have the opportunity to attend the research symposium to give an oral presentation.

Call for Chapters — Sustainable Smart Cities: Theoretical Foundations and Practical Considerations — Studies in Computational Intelligence

November 24th, 2020 Daniela Lopez de Luise
Call for contributions – edited volume

Sustainable Smart Cities: Theoretical Foundations and Practical
Considerations

Volume Editors:
Pradeep Kumar Singh
Marcin Paprzycki
Mohammad Essaaidi
Shahram Rahimi

Book Series: Studies in Computational Intelligence

The prime objective of the book is to explore the current areas of
research and development, and challenges to be faced in different areas,
as related to making cities smart. We are particularly interested in,
real-world-grounded, solutions facilitated from the technology and
computing perspectives. However, we are also open to, technology
oriented, considerations related to the social aspects of development of
smart cities of the future.

It can be easily observed that (i) Internet of things (IoT),(ii) cloud,
fog/edge computing,(iii) data science-based solutions,(iv) 5G and other
networking technologies,(v) distributed ledger/blockchain & security, as
well as (vi) artificial intelligence & machine learning, are the key
technologies for smart cities. All of them are parts of integrated
approaches and they have been used to deliver smart city applications
like: intelligent traffic monitoring, innovative solutions for city
monitoring (including video surveillance), smart homes and office
buildings, smart parking, etc. In addition, smart transportation, smart
energy solutions, disaster management, and smart healthcare have been
identified as some of the key requirements for future cities to be seen
as smart.

Numbers of unique sustainable solutions have been proposed by
researchers working in the area of data science, to fulfill the dream of
the smart city. However, up to now, proposed approaches are, much too
often, just academic ideas, published in journals and conference
proceedings. A lot more work is needed to be able to make these ideas a
reality. This is also why we propose this book as a way to bring
together ideas and possible ways of realizing them.

Moreover, smart cities cannot be created without the involvement of all
the stakeholders of the city, namely, local community, government, NGOs,
academia and industry. They have to understand technology and on the
basis of such understanding, jointly, formulate reasonable plans for
“smartifying” their city. Note also that each city may have different
hierarchy of needs that should be addressed. This is why we invite also
reflection on how to involve all the city’s stakeholders to jointly work
to make their city smart for the citizens.

We are inviting chapters addressing topics from any of the six major
areas. Contributions in the form of research articles, reviews,
taxonomies, lists of solved and unsolved problems, findings of special
interest in the context of smart city technologies, and social aspects
of their realization.

* Social aspects of making city smart
* 5G and other networking technologies for smart cities
* Data science and business analytics for smart cities
* IoT, edge/ fog and cloud for smart cities
* Distributed ledger . blockchain and security solutions for smart cities
* Artificial intelligence and machine learning for smart cities

Deadlines:
Full Chapter Submission: 30 January, 2021

Acceptance: 30 March, 2021

Tentative Publication: June, 2021

Tenure-track Openings at Max Planck Institutes in Computer Science

November 24th, 2020 Daniela Lopez de Luise

Hi everyone,
The Max Planck Institutes for Informatics (Saarbruecken), Software Systems (Saarbruecken and Kaiserslautern), and Security and Privacy (Bochum), invite applications for tenure-track faculty in all areas of computer science. We expect to fill several positions.

A doctoral degree in computer science or related areas and an outstanding research record are required. Successful candidates are expected to build a team and pursue a highly visible research agenda, both independently and in collaboration with other groups.

The institutes are part of a network of over 80 Max Planck Institutes, Germany’s premier basic-research organisations. MPIs have an established record of world-class, foundational research in the sciences, technology, and the humanities. The institutes offer a unique environment that combines the best aspects of a university department and a research laboratory: Faculty enjoy full academic freedom, lead a team of doctoral students and post-docs, and have the opportunity to teach university courses; at the same time, they enjoy ongoing institutional funding in addition to third-party funds, a technical infrastructure unrivaled for an academic institution, as well as internationally competitive compensation.

We maintain an international and diverse work environment and seek applications from outstanding researchers worldwide. The working language is English; knowledge of the German language is not required for a successful career at the institutes.
Qualified candidates should apply on our application website (apply.cis.mpg.de). 

To receive full consideration, applications should be received by December 15th, 2020.

The Max Planck Society wishes to increase the number of women in those areas where they are underrepresented. Women are therefore explicitly encouraged to apply. The Max Planck Society is also committed to increasing the number of employees with severe disabilities in its workforce. Applications from persons with severe disabilities are expressly desired.

The initial tenure-track appointment is for five years; it can be extended to seven years based on a positive midterm evaluation in the fourth year. A permanent contract can be awarded upon a successful tenure evaluation in the sixth year.
cheers
Bernt Schiele
