Towards Sustainable and Automated Communication
CALL FOR PAPERS
Over the past two decades, wireless communications have fundamentally transformed our daily life and created an almost fully connected society, linking billions of people and devices to reap the benefits of today’s digital economy. Every sector of the world economy now relies on wireless technologies in fundamental ways, from banking and agriculture to transportation and healthcare. In addition, powerful cutting-edge technologies that rely on robust wireless communications networks – such as 5G, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and Industry 4.0 – hold great potential for improving lives at an unprecedented pace and scale.
However, the rapid development of advanced telecommunications networks, in response to the continuously growing global demand for data transmission and access to information, also entails a very large increase in the resources used. The telecommunications of the future must face new challenges, including a significant reduction in energy consumption while maintaining the same quality parameters, and ensuring sustainable development through the responsible use of available resources.
At the same time, the complexity of telecommunications systems is increasing so significantly that the processes of design, maintenance and development have to be considered holistically. There is a strong need for making the network not only resource sustainable, but also autonomous and automated.
There is also room for societal and technological improvements to address the digital divide that continues to exist in the world. Tackling uneven global distribution and ensuring a better world requires super-connecting the already connected and connecting the unconnected, while guaranteeing an impressive quality of experience worldwide. Future wireless communication systems must also effectively support a universal and ubiquitous cyber physical infrastructure.
The huge variety of intelligent applications envisaged for a wireless future will require a novel network structure, spectrum access schemes, and resource allocation solutions, while factoring in energy efficiency and security/privacy considerations. Thus, highly innovative wireless solutions with varied quality specifications when it comes to service requirements have become paramount in ensuring a greener world. Examples of some technological breakthroughs include intelligent surfaces, semantic communications, and digital twin technology, to name a few.
Under the theme “Towards sustainable and automated communications”, the 49th Wireless World Research Forum (WWRF) will take place at Poznan University of Technology, Poland, from 28-30 March 2023. You are invited to be part of designing the wireless future by joining us for three days of insightful discussions, presentations, innovative brainstorming, and expert-level networking.

Special Session on Privacy-aware and acceptable video-based assistive technologies (AAATE 2023)
January 30th, 2023 Daniela Lopez de Luise ******************************************
CfP – Apologies for cross-postings
******************************************
Special Thematic Session on Privacy-aware and acceptable video-based assistive technologies
As part of the 17h International Conference of the Association for the Advancement of Assistive Technology in Europe (AAATE 2023) – https://aaate2023.eu/
30 August – 1 September 2023, Paris, France
Paper submission deadline: 5 March 2023
One major concern in the development of assistive technologies lies in the claim for responsible research and the consideration of ethical, legal and social implications of technology development. At a time in which technology developments – fostered by the huge and tremendously fast-evolving innovations through modern information and communication technologies – enter private spheres and come into close contact with individual, private, and intimate activities, it is a mandatory claim that any technology development should be carefully developed and balanced within societal, cultural and individual values, and norms.
Assistive technologies based on computer vision, multimedia data processing and understanding, and machine intelligence present several advantages in terms of unobtrusiveness and information richness. Indeed, camera sensors are far less obtrusive with respect to the hindrance that other wearable sensors may cause to people’s activities. Currently, video-based applications are effective in recognising and monitoring activities, movements, and overall conditions of the assisted individuals as well as to assess their vital parameters (e.g., heart rate, respiratory rate). However, cameras are often perceived as the most intrusive technologies from the viewpoint of the privacy of the monitored individuals. This is due to the richness of the information that this technology conveys and the intimate setting where it may be deployed in. Therefore, solutions able to ensure privacy preservation by context and design as well as to ensure high legal and ethical standards are in high demand.
This Special Thematic Session (STS) aims to give forum for contributions presenting and discussing image- and video-based AAL applications, projects and research as well as initiatives proposing ethical and privacy-aware solutions.
This STS is supported by the visuAAL Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network (https://www.visuaal-itn.eu) and the GoodBrother COST Action (https://goodbrother.eu). The aim of these projects is to bridge the knowledge gap between users’ requirements and the appropriate and secure use of video-based AAL technologies to deliver effective and supportive care to older adults managing their health and wellbeing. They seek to increase awareness and understanding of the context-specific ethical, legal, privacy and societal issues necessary to implement visual system across hospital, home and community settings, in a manner that protects and reassures users; outputs will stimulate the development of a new research perspective for constructively addressing privacy-aware video-based working solutions for assisted living.
Topics
We seek contributions that include, but are not limited to:
- Video-based assistive technologies:
- Lifelogging and self-monitoring
- Human activity and behaviour recognition
- Personal and daily-life assistance
- Remote monitoring of vital signs
- Gesture recognition
