Last call: AI100 Essay Contest – due March 31st

AI100 Prize: Early Career Essay Competition

The One Hundred Year Study on Artificial Intelligence (AI100) is a
longitudinal study of progress in AI and its impacts on society. A key
feature of the 2021 AI100 report was its commentary on what had changed
since the first report published in 2016.

As a way of laying the groundwork for the next report, planned for 2026,
the AI100 Standing Committee invites original essay submissions that
react directly to one or both of the AI100 reports. Essay application is
now open and will close on March 31, 2023.

ICCNS2023: The International Conference on Intelligent Computing, Communication, Networking and Services, June 19-22, 2023 – Valencia, Spain


The International Conference on Intelligent Computing, Communication, Networking and Services (ICCNS2023)

https://intelligenttech.org/ICCNS2023/

June 19-22, 2023 – Valencia, Spain

(Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE-Spain Section)

Call for Papers:

New advancements in wireless communication systems such as Fifth-Generation (5G), Beyond Fifth-Generation (B5G), and Sixth-Generation (6G) networks will allow for new and unprecedented services to be made available for users with nearly unlimited capacity. These services will be the core driver for future digital transformation of our cities and communities. This will be accompanied by a ubiquitous deployment of Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure and supported by computing capacity that will be available at the edge of the network and in the cloud. This computing infrastructure will handle the processing of data generated by users and services. Such a complex and diverse system will require the applications running on the computing/networking infrastructure to be Intelligent, efficient and sustainable. Additionally, the infrastructure will require smart control and automation systems to integrate and manage its different components. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its applications will play a significant role in the design, deployment, automation, and management of future services. This will include applications that will be running on the edge and on cloud servers, networking applications to handle the flow of data between the users and the computing system, and intelligent automation and management software operating on the system. The International Conference on Intelligent Computing, Networking, and Services is aiming to provide an opportunity to present state of the art research in the intersections of Computing, Networking, and Services that are supported by Artificial Intelligence.

CFP (03/24/2023) – The 6th International Workshop on BLockchain Enabled Sustainable Smart Cities (BLESS 2023)

The 6th International Workshop on BLockchain Enabled Sustainable Smart Cities (BLESS 2023) (in conjunction with ICCCN 2023 Conference)
July 24 – July 27, 2023, Waikiki Beach, Honolulu, HI, USA

Paper Submission: March 24th, 2023

Enabled by the proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT), edge-fog-cloud computing, and interconnected networks, smart cities are capable of innovative solutions to change the lifestyles of their residents. Unavoidably the potential benefits come along with new challenges and concerns related to information security and privacy. Blockchain technology is a platform that would provide tamper-proof storage for data derived from smart cities and ensure that access to the data is tracked and provided to authorized users. The resultant chain of custody will provide an interoperable platform that would facilitate decisions in smart cities that would impact the communities. The transparency of the platform would provide citizens would go a long way in building trust and ensuring that the businesses will be held to high standards of accountability.

Scope:
BLESS’2023 will bring researchers and experts together to present and discuss the latest developments and technical solutions concerning various aspects of blockchain technology in the context of smart cities. BLESS’2023 seeks original unpublished papers focusing on theoretical analysis, emerging applications, novel system architecture construction and design, experimental studies, and social impacts of blockchain. Both review/survey papers and technical papers are encouraged. BLESS’2023 also welcomes short papers that summarize speculative breakthroughs, work-in-progress, industry-featured projects, open problems, new application challenges, visionary ideas, and preliminary studies.
The topics include but are not limited to:

– Blockchain-based cyber-physical systems for smart cities
– Blockchain based information hiding/encryption in smart cities
– Blockchain based lightweight algorithms and protocols for IoT
– Blockchain based security and privacy solutions for smart cities
– Blockchain enabled novel applications and services in smart cities
– Smart contract and distributed ledger for smart cities
– Security, privacy, and trust of blockchain-based decentralized systems
– Blockchain in critical infrastructure resilience (power grid, oil, and gas, etc)
