The 6th International Conference of the Immersive Learning Research Network (iLRN 2020) will be an innovative and interactive gathering for a burgeoning global network of researchers and practitioners collaborating to develop the scientific, technical, and applied potential of immersive learning. It is the premier scholarly event focusing on advances in the use of virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and other extended reality (XR) technologies to support learners and learning.

iLRN 2020 will now be held ***fully online using VR*** and other collaboration platforms, in partnership with Educators in VR, organizers of the highly successful Educators in VR International Summit in February 2020 that included over 170 speakers and attracted over 6,000 event participants from around the globe.

Scholars and professionals operating in formal education settings as well as those representing diverse industry sectors are invited to participate in the conference, where they will be able to share their research findings, experiences, and insights; network and establish partnerships to envision and shape the future of XR and immersive technologies for learning; and contribute to the emerging scholarly knowledge base on how these technologies can be used to create experiences that educate, engage, and excite learners.

Deadline Extended (April 30) [Mobisys 2020 HealthDL Workshop CfP] Deep Learning for Wellbeing Applications Leveraging Mobile Devices and Edge Computing

April 9th, 2020 Daniela Lopez de Luise

Call for Papers (CFP)  
Workshop Title: HealthDL: Deep Learning for Wellbeing Applications Leveraging Mobile Devices and Edge Computing.
Workshop Chair: Mooi Choo Chuah (Lehigh University), Yingying Chen (Rutgers University)
Publicity Chair: Xiaonan Guo (Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis)

The availability of affordable wearable Internet of Things and powerful smartphones with embedded sensors has revolutionalized intelligent health and wellness applications. Users often use wIoT and smartphones to collect medical data and later sending them to the cloud for further analysis. Edge-based solution where analysis and inference of such data are carried out on edge devices has also been proposed to address the security and privacy concern of users since the data is not transferred to untrusted cloud for inferencing. However, resource constraints on the edge devices pose challenges in using deep learning solutions. Research needs to be conducted to produce efficient system design and algorithms that can be deployed in edge devices. In addition, many wearables and smartphone applications now rely on voice assistants which utilize deep-learning based neural conversation models. Efficient low resource DL-based neural conversation models need to be designed to allow for personalized services. This workshop invites researchers from academia and industry to submit papers related but not limited to the following topics:

– E2E deep learning for smart health applications.
– Deep learning for sensing, analysis and interpretation of wIOT healthcare data.
– Resource constrained deep learning schemes for smartphones and wIOT
– Edge-based Deep learning & AI models (e.g. sensor-based, visual-based or NLP-based) for mental health or other illnesses
– Transfer learning and model compression for smart health applications
– Context-aware ubiquitous healthcare systems based on wearables, edge machine learning
– Emerging applications or sensors for personalized health and fitness

Workshop submission deadline: April 30th, 2020
Acceptance Notice: May 7th, 2020
Camera ready deadline: May 15th, 2020
Workshop Date: June 19th, 2020

Algorithms Special Issue on Optimization, Processing, and Visualization of Data for Sustainability

April 7th, 2020 Daniela Lopez de Luise

 

FULL PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: May 15th, 2020

Optimization problems are all around us. Finding the optimal solutions to such problems may lead to the development of cheaper products, faster and more efficient production, and more sustainable solutions. However, solving a problem to optimality is generally difficult as well as time and resource consuming, and, in many cases, may be impractical with current software and hardware technologies. For such cases, approximation optimization algorithms are interesting tools that offer good solutions in a reasonable time frame.

This Special Issue aims to present a collection of recent high quality papers on optimization algorithms and their applications to problems in the real world, particularly on topics covered in the OLA2020 International Conference on Optimization and Learning. Extended versions of the best papers presented at the conference will be invited for submission to this issue and will go through a rigorous review process. However, the Special Issue is not restricted to those papers and is open to any research work matching the considered topics.

The best received works will be published with fully waived article processing charges.

All manuscript submissions and reviews will be handled by the MDPI submission system https://susy.mdpi.com/. All papers should be prepared according to the MDPI Guide for Authors.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All papers will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Algorithms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1000 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
