UTP, Building / Edificio No. 3, Rooms 3-302 and 3-405
Call for Workshop Contributions
Internet of Things (IoT) technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) / Machine Learning (ML) are emerging technologies that can be used jointly in various application scenarios to improve the life of humans and support sustainable use of resources. Concrete examples are monitoring of elderly people, environmental and traffic monitoring in cities and urban environments to investigate measures dealing with the effects of climate change and urban heat islands, intelligent building control and automation, intelligent and autonomic transport systems etc.
The IoT is made from both physical and virtual objects (software, data). One emerging technology is digital twins representing physical objects and simulating their behavior in the virtual world. Moreover, physical objects such as IoT devices can collect huge amounts of sensed data that have to be processed and from which by using AI/ML, models for intelligent control actions can be derived. Progress in hardware circuit developments enable the implementation of AI and ML at least partly on IoT devices, which typically have limited energy, processing, storage, and communication resources.
Topics of Interest include, but are not limited to:
- Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and applications
- IoT deployments and practical experiences
- Industrial IoT
- Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS)
- ML on resource-constrained devices
- ML in IoT networks
- Distributed ML including Federated Learning (FL), Split Learning (SL), Gossip Learning
- Cloud and Edge computing for IoT
- IoT and cloud security
- Edge AI
- Vehicular networks
- Blockchain for IoT
- Digital Twins for IoT
- 5G and beyond, including native AI support and machine-type communications
- Programming support for intelligent IoT applications and systems
- Energy Issues in the IoT
- IoT Security
The workshop aims to include different kinds of events. Examples are
- Keynote talks
- Research presentations (approx. 30 minutes, including questions)
- Poster presentations in poster sessions
- Tutorials (max. 1/2 day)
- Hands-on exercises or hackathons (1/2 -1 day)
- Panel discussions
Workshop format:
- In-person workshop.
- The official workshop language is English.
The workshop targets
- Researchers, teachers, and practitioners from academia and industry, in particular, SMEs
- Students at universities at all levels (Bachelor, Master, PhD)
- Decision makers from public administration and industry
Participants will receive certificates for participation.
Potential event contributions (e.g., talk, panel session, poster presentation) should be described using Microsoft Forms.
Registration for attendees without contributions can be done using Microsoft Forms.
