FMEC 2025 CFP:

Cloud computing provides a large range of services and virtually unlimited available resources for users. New applications, such as virtual reality and smart building control, have emerged due to the large number of resources and services brought by cloud computing. However, the delay-sensitive applications face the problem of large latency, especially when several smart devices and objects are getting involved in human’s life such as the case of smart cities or Internet of Things. Therefore, cloud computing is unable to meet the requirements of low latency, location awareness, and mobility support. To solve this problem, researchers have introduced a trusted and dependable solution through the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC) to put the services and resources of the cloud closer to users, which facilitate the leveraging of available services and resources in the edge networks. By this, we are moving from the core (cloud data centers) to the edge of the network closer to the users. FMEC dependability is based on providing user centric service. The purpose of Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing is to run the heavy real-time applications at the network edge directly using the billions of connected mobile devices.

Several features enable the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing to be a perfect paradigm to the aforementioned purpose, which are the dense geographical deployment of servers, supporting mobility and the closeness to users. As in every new technology, some challenges face the vision of the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing, which are the administrative policies and security concerns (i.e. secure data storage, secure computation, network security, data privacy, usage privacy, location privacy, etc). FMEC 2025 conference aims to investigate the opportunities and requirements for Mobile Edge Computing dominance. In addition, it seeks for novel contributions that help mitigate Mobile Edge Computing challenges. That is, the objective of FMEC 2025 is to provide a forum for scientists, engineers, and researchers to discuss and exchange new ideas, novel results and experience on all aspects of Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC). FMEC 2025 is Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE Florida Section.

Extended deadline: Call for participation to the 22nd Int.l Summer School on Biometrics – June 2-6 2025

February 12th, 2025 Daniela Lopez de Luise

∞∞ Please accept our sincere apologies for receiving multiple copies of this announcement ∞∞


22nd Int.l Summer School for Advanced Studies on
Biometrics in the Generative AI Era

Alghero, Italy  –  June 2 – 6 2025

http://biometrics.uniss.it
 

Contact: tista@uniss.it

Extended application deadline: MARCH 2nd 2025
(download the application form at: http://biometrics.uniss.it)

For the past 20 years this international Summer School provided and active and dynamic forum to closely follow the most recent developments in science and technology to offer a cutting edge, intensive training course, always up to date with the current state-of-the-art. This year's main topic will be the impact of generative AI on the development and deployment of biometrics in different application domains.

Machine learning, Image understanding, Signal analysis, Neuroscience, Robotics, Forensic science, Digital forensics and other disciplines, converged in a truly multidisciplinary effort to devise and build advanced systems to facilitate the interpretation of signals recorded from individuals acting in a given environment.

This is what we simply call today “Biometrics”.


Over the last decade the advent of Deep Learning and, more recently, Generative AI, strongly impacted both research and application of automatic biometric data analysis and recognition. However, other issues and concerns, not directly related to the computational performance, arise including the fairness, reliability and trustfulness of current biometric systems.

This edition of the school will address these issues trying to answer some compelling questions, such as: How to mitigate bias in biometric systems? How to design privacy-preserving and “ethical” biometric devices? What can we learn from human perception? How to better deploy current AI approaches? How to cope for adversarial attacks in biometric recognition? What is the scalability and real potential for biometric systems? What is the potential impact of biometrics in forensic investigation and crime prevention?


This school follows the successful track of the International Summer Schools on Biometrics held since 2003and it will provide a clear and in-depth picture on the state-of-the-art in biometric verification/identification technology, both under the theoretical and scientific point of view as well as in diverse application domains. The lectures will be given by 18 outstanding experts in the field, from both academia and industry.

Open sessions will be organised with questions and answers moderated by the leading experts in the field.


Participant application

To attend the school classes, physical presence of the participants will be required. In exceptional cases of travel limitations remote participation with videoconference facilities, will be also allowed.

The expected school fees will be in the order of 1,800 € (400 € in videoconference) for students and 2,400 € (800 € in videoconference) for others, including full board accommodation, all courses and handling material.
A limited number of scholarships offered by the school sponsors, partially covering the fees, will be awarded to Ms/Phd students, selected on the basis of their scientific background and on-going research work.
The scholarship request form can be downloaded from the school web site http://biometrics.uniss.it

Poster boards will be also available to all participants to display their current research or professional activities.


Send a filled application form (download from http://biometrics.uniss.it) together with a short resume to:     

Prof. Massimo Tistarelli – e-mail: biometricsummerschool@gmail.com

  • Submission of March 2nd, 2025
  • Notification of acceptance: March 15th, 2025
  • Registration: April 15th, 2025

Advance pre-registration is strictly required by March 2nd 2025
 

School location

 

The school will be hosted by Hotel Dei Pini (https://www.hoteldeipini.com/ ) in the Capo Caccia bay, near Alghero, Sardinia. This is one of the most beautiful resorts in the Mediterranean Sea. The structure is beautifully immersed into the Capo Caccia bay. The hotel Dei Pini has a recently renovated conference centre, fully equipped for scientific events. The school venue, as well as the surroundings, proved to be a perfect environment for the school activities.

The organisers and all lecturers are fully committed to make this year's school as successful, instructing and inspiring as in the past years.
