Overview:

Intelligent environments are without a doubt a great feat of technology, one of many that characterize the society of information and technology we now experience. Despite bringing recognizable advantages to the fulfilment of human needs by adapting the ecosystem around human intentionalities and activities, intelligent environments do bring about difficult challenges to the creation of normative frameworks that regulate their usage. Drafting and applying legal norms that are suitable to ever-evolving technologies means that, on one hand, not only legal practitioners, legislators and scholars must be prepared to closely monitor technological advances to adequately prepare and apply suitable legal norms, and, on the other hand, do so in a pace that is traditionally not common in law. This workshop is intended to create a forum of discussion between those who share a common interest in this area of intersection between technology (intelligent environments) and law.

3^rd International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Emerging Topics (ALLEGET 2023)

Overview:

Every day, more information moves through social networks. Users publish content in the form of text, images, video, audio or a combination of them to express their opinions, relate facts that are happening at that moment or show situations of interest. Also, this content is published using mobile devices that are commonly equipped with different outdoor and indoor positioning technologies (e.g., GPS, RFID or Bluetooth) that allows to attach certain geo-tags to the users' posts as meta-data. This opens a new line of research related to the analysis and interpretation of the multi-modal information flowing through online social networks. However, the fusion, integration and analysis of this heterogeneous data poses serious challenges so as to come up to truly effective services leveraging social-media content in fields like predictive analytics or event detection.

This workshop focuses on intelligent solutions for social-media processing that considers such an inherent heterogeneity. This way, mechanisms able to extract knowledge from multimedia data posted by users in online social media platforms or the fusion of different types of data coming from these feeds would be of special interest.

2^nd International Workshop on Edge AI for Smart Agriculture (EAISA 2023)

Overview:

The goal of the 2st Workshop on Edge AI for Smart Agriculture (EAISA) is to provide a forum for scientists, engineers and researchers to discuss and exchange novel ideas, results, experiences and work-in-process on aspects related to the use and deployment of Edge Artificial Intelligence for smart and sustainable agriculture.

While intelligent systems for smart agriculture (and smart cities, in a wider view) are becoming widely available, they are mostly based on remote facilities for analysis and decision-making. Bringing AI to the edge is a way to cope with the many constraints such as limited communication capabilities and power supply. This also brings new challenges, such as energy efficiency and adapting AI models to low-capacity processors.

Attendees will appreciate and benefit from multidisciplinary exchanges on these hot topics. Through this workshop, we expect people from various communities to meet and exchange during the meetings and specific slots of time will be dedicated to open discussions.

12^th International Workshop on Intelligent Environments Supporting Healthcare and Well-being (WISHWell 2023)

Overview:

The workshop will bring together researchers from both industry and academia from the various disciplines to contribute to this new edition of the International Workshop on Intelligent Environments Supporting Healthcare and Well-Being. This event previously joined forces with the International Workshop “PervaSense – Situation recognition and medical data analysis in Pervasive Health environments” and the workshop on “Smart Healthcare and Healing Environments”. Healthcare environments (within the hospital and the home) are extremely complex and challenging to manage from an IT and IS perspective, as they are required to cope with an assortment of patient conditions under various circumstances with a number of resource constraints. Pervasive healthcare technologies seek to respond to a variety of these pressures by integrating them within existing healthcare services. It is essential that intelligent pervasive healthcare solutions are developed and correctly integrated to assist health care professionals in delivering high levels of patient care. It is equally important that these pervasive solutions are used to empower patients and relatives for self-care and management of their health to provide seamless access for health care services.

Overview:

Intelligent Environments (IE) is rising as one of the technical fields with the highest potential to make an impact in daily human life during the near future. Developments in this area are achieved by a complex juxtaposition of complex technical fields. Software is related to the architecture of a building, sensors, a network for data transportation, and different levels of users. Many of these elements are error prone, software is notoriously difficult and even companies like NASA, Microsoft, Intel, BMW, which can afford powerful teams of experienced development teams have paid with lives, economic losses and reputation missing to detect software bugs within their products. Sensors are often unreliable, networks are sometimes unstable and users can put systems to the test in circumstances that were not initially foreseen. Developing this type of systems is therefore complex and given that some applications will be given the tremendous responsibility to take care of humans. Think for example on how much interest there is on the development of systems to support independent living. These systems are intended to give peace of mind to elderly people and their relatives trusting that the system will be able to do many things for them including safety related issues like detecting whether the occupant of the house has fallen or is unwell in some way. Other examples are unmanned cars and other autonomous systems which are supposed to perform tasks for us which can have disastrous consequences should something go wrong.

Our community should develop appropriate standards and specific methodologies to ensure we do our outmost to deliver safe systems given the current state of the art. Given the specific blend of components in our area of development we cannot just transfer developments in other areas (although of course they should be taken into account to inform the process). This event will aim to bring together developers and researchers to focus on all aspects of the development process that can contribute to make Intelligent Environments and related systems safer and more secure, as well as to provide methodologies that can increase the confidence in these developments.
