IMPORTANT DATES 
 
  Paper submission deadline: July 10th, 2022

AIMS AND SCOPE
 
  Many problems in Artificial Intelligence show an exponential
  explosion of the search space.  Although stemming from different
  research areas in AI, such problems are often addressed with
  algorithms that have a common goal: the effective exploration of
  huge state spaces.  Many algorithms developed in one research area
  are applicable to other problems, or can be hybridized with
  techniques in other areas. Artificial Intelligence tools often
  exploit or hybridize techniques developed by other research
  communities, such as Operations Research.  In recent years, research
  in Artificial Intelligence has more and more focused on experimental
  evaluation of algorithms, the development of suitable methodologies
  for experimentation and analysis, the study of languages and the
  implementation of systems for the definition and solution of
  problems.
 
  Scope of the workshop is fostering the cross-fertilization of ideas
  stemming from different areas, proposing benchmarks for new
  challenging problems, comparing models and algorithms from an
  experimental viewpoint, and, in general, comparing different
  approaches with respect to efficiency, problem modeling, and ease of
  development.
 
  Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
  * Experimental evaluation of algorithms for
       o knowledge representation
       o automated reasoning
       o planning
       o scheduling
       o machine learning
       o model checking
       o boolean satisfiability (SAT)
       o constraint programming
       o argumentation
       o temporal reasoning
       o combinatorial optimization
       o quantified boolean formulae and quantified constraints
       o modal logics
       o logic programming
       o answer set programming 
       o ontological reasoning       
  * Definition and construction of benchmarks
  * Experimentation methodologies
  * Metaheuristics
  * Algorithm hybridization
  * Static analysis of combinatorial problems
  * Languages and systems for definition and solution of problems
  * Comparisons between systems and algorithms
  * Application experiences (visualization, graphics, security, transports,...)
 
 
WORKSHOP CHAIRS
        Marco Maratea         University of Genova, Italy
        Mauro Vallati         University of Huddersfield, UK
 
 
HOST ORGANIZATION AND VENUE

  directly situated on the see.
 
  Of course, we will continuously monitor the pandemic situation in 
  order to evaluate whether the conference can be indeed held as an 
  in-person event, or we will need to switch to a hybrid event, if not 
  completely on-line.
  
SUBMISSIONS
 
  Authors are invited to submit either original and non-original papers. 
  
  Publications showing negative results are welcome, provided that the
  approach was original and very promising in principle, the
  experimentation was well-conducted, the results obtained were
  unforeseeable and gave important hints in the comprehension of the
  target problem, helping other researchers to avoid unsuccessful
  paths.
 
  Workshop submissions must be in PDF format, do not exceed 15 (for
  full papers) or 8 (for short papers) pages, and should be written in
  LaTeX, using the LNCS style.

 3rd International Workshop on Pattern Recognition for Cultural Heritage (PatReCH 2022)

The enormous amount of artefacts and information that come from the past is increasingly and rapidly being digitized. However, the useful information contained in these data is not easy to exploit and some kind of analysis is needed. On the other hand, the digital representations of real objects require some kind of manipulation.

Recent machine learning and pattern recognition algorithms give the opportunity to analyze and manipulate the acquired data in order to better exploit the contained information and generate the best digital representation.

The aim of this workshop is to present recent advances in Pattern Recognition (PR) techniques for data analysis and representation in the cultural heritage field. Bringing together the work of many experts in this multidisciplinary subject to highlight these advances from a wide-angle perspective, as well as to stimulate new theoretical and applied research for better characterizing the state of the art in this subject.

The workshop will be held on 21 August 2022 (to be confirmed), in conjunction with the 26th International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR2022), that will be held from 21 to 25 August 2022 in Montréal, Québec.

 

Topics include, but are not limited to the following:

 

·        Ancient document analysis

·        Digital artifact capture, representation and manipulation

·        Automatic annotation of tangible and intangible heritage

Submit your regular or workshop paper and participate in the leading conference on Security and Privacy in Communication Networks

18th EAI International Conference on Security and Privacy in Communication Networks

PRELUDE 2022: PeRvasive sEnsing and muLtimedia UnDErstanding | Colocated with SITIS 2022 | Dijon – Oct 19-21


PRELUDE 2022: PeRvasive sEnsing and muLtimedia UnDErstanding 

Co-located with:

SITIS 2022 – The 16th International Conference on Signal Image Technology & Internet based Systems

19-21 October 2022 – Dijon, France

Scope 

Advances in sensing and computing are currently impacting several sectors ranging from healthcare to cultural heritage, from smart cities to Industry 4.0. Information collected by sensors is propagated through internet-based systems and processed through the network's nodes. Mobile, edge and fog computing approaches have pushed advanced “smart” processing to the far edges of the network, while AI as a Service (AIaaS) paradigms abstract and virtualise intelligent services for deployment on the cloud. Multimedia information, including images, video streams, acoustic data and temporal series, are a relevant part of the data to be processed, analysed and understood for fully taking advantage of sensing resources.

This workshop aims to shorten the gap between edge-based and cloud-based approaches for multimedia understanding by addressing the challenges and opportunities of the combined approach. Relevance will be given to transversal issues, such as those related to the privacy and security of such hybrid strategies, as well as to the quest for optimal and greener configuration of AI services towards sustainable and ethical use of computing resources. The co-existence of intelligent services distributed in a computational continuum made of heterogeneous nodes opens the possibilities of performing learning, including reinforcement learning, in such scenarios while coping with possible data shortages or faults of some nodes.

Contributions addressing the above issues from a theoretical or simulation perspective are sought, while demonstrations in applicative scenarios will also be welcome.
