The IEE International Workshop on Intelligent Environments University of Essex, Colchester, UK 28- 29 June 2005 http://iieg.essex.ac.uk/ie05/ Call For Papers Intelligent Environments are becoming one of the hot topics for industrial and academic research. Intelligent Environments are public and private spaces such as cars, shopping malls, work, homes and even our own bodies which respond “thoughtfully” to our needs. Such environments are constituted by numerous networked embedded computing appliances offering functionalities related to the individual appliances in addition to the range of collective functionalities offered through communities of coordinating appliances. Commonly such spaces would contain embedded intelligent agents enabling these environments to personalise themselves in response to the occupant’s presence and behaviour as well as aiding the normal activities related to work, education, entertainment or healthcare. Over the last decade a number of research areas have contributed to the concept of intelligent environments, such areas include ubiquitous computing, pervasive computing, embedded intelligence, intelligent user interfaces, human factors, intelligent buildings, mobile communications, domestic robots, intelligent sensors and ambient intelligence. The IEE International Workshop on Intelligent Environments will be held at the University of Essex, Colchester, UK on the 28th and 29th of June 2005. The workshop will provide a leading edge forum for researchers and engineers from across the world to present their latest research and to discuss future directions in this area. The workshop aims to bring together researchers from both industry and academia from the various disciplines contributing to the area on Intelligent Environments which will help to stimulate research and break down barriers between the different disciplines in both industry and academia. The first day of the workshop will feature keynote presentations from prominent international researchers, from both industry and academia, speaking on a range of disciplines in the Intelligent Environments area. The second day will feature parallel sessions to present the peer reviewed papers, the papers will be published in the workshop proceedings to be produced by the IEE. At the end of the second day, we will organise a Doctoral colloquium for PhD students. The workshop will have an exhibit area within the workshop foyer which will be available for industrial companies and research projects demonstrations. By the end of the first day, we plan to have the formal opening of the Essex Intelligent Flat (iFlat) which is unique purpose-built test-bed for intelligent environments and pervasive computing experimental work. Delegates will be able to visit the iFlat and thereby take away useful practical knowledge on its potential uses for research together with information as to how they might use this facility. Featured Subjects and Disciplines The workshop will aim to bring together researchers working in disciplines from a broad spectrum of the Intelligent Environments area. Such disciplines include, but are not limited to: * Intelligence- includes learning algorithms, user profiling, personalisation and adaptivity, autonomous intelligence, agent technologies, multi-agents * Pervasive networking- includes wired, wireless and ad-hoc networking, discovery mechanisms, software architectures, system integration and prototyping, portable devices * Ubiquitous and pervasive computing * Ambient Intelligence * Human and Social Factors - includes security and privacy issues of intelligent environments * Human Computer Interfaces * Mobile Communications * Smart devices and smart spaces * Middleware * Mobile/ wireless computing systems and services * Context based and implicit computing * Location based services * Natural user-system interaction- includes ambient interfaces, multimodal interaction, innovative interaction styles and concepts, human friendly user interfaces * Domestic and Rehabilitation Robotic systems * Resource management in pervasive computing platforms * Smart sensors and actuators * Applications to homes, work, education, entertainment, healthcare, ..etc. * Building Technology and Automation * Virtual Environments * Art and Design * Embedded-Internet * Knowledge Representation Key Dates Papers submission: February 15, 2005 Notification of Acceptance April: 1st, 2005 Camera Ready Manuscript due: May 1st, 2005 Registration Deadline: May 1st, 2005 Workshop Committee General Co-Chairs: Hani Hagras, University of Essex, UK Email: hani@essex.ac.uk Victor Callaghan, University of Essex, UK Email: vic@essex.ac.uk Program Co-Chairs: Martin Colley, University of Essex, UK Graham Clarke, University of Essex, UK Paolo Remagnino, Kingston University, UK Industrial Track Chair: Phil Bull, British Telecom, UK International Program Committee Joseph Paradiso, MIT Media Lab, USA Scott Klemmer, Stanford University, USA Mohan Trivedi, University of California, San Diego, USA Anand Tripathi, University of Minnesota, USA Alois Ferscha, Universty of Linz, Austria Ted Selker, MIT Media Lab, USA David De Roure, University of Southampton, UK Mohammed Kamel, University of Waterloo, Canada Maria Papadopouli, The University of North Carolina, USA Richard Harper, Microsoft Matthias Rauterberg, Technical University of Eindhoven, The Netherlands Stephen Intille, MIT, USA Michael Beigl, University of Karlsruhe, Germany Paul Lukowicz, UMIT, Austria Yasushi Nakauchi, University of Tsukuba, Japan James Scott, Intel Paddy Nixon, University of Strathclyde, UK Kent Larson, MIT, USA Albrecht Schmidt, University of Munich, Germany Hans Gellersen, University of Lancaster, UK Yasuyuki Sumi, Kyoto University, Japan Wolfgang Minker, University of Ulm, Germany Achilles Kameas, CTI, Greece Roy Kalawsky, University Loughborough, UK Jiannong Cao, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong Rita Cucchiara, Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia, Italy Ichiro Satoh, National Institute of Informatics, Japan Carlo Regazzoni, University of Genoa, Italy In So Kweon, KAIST, KOREA Sergio Velastin, Kingston University, UK Rene Collier, IOP-MMI, The Netherlands Bill Gaver, Royal College of Art, UK Itiro Siio, Tamagawa University, Japan Paul Davidsson, Blekinge Institute of Technology, Sweden Kieran Delaney, NMRC, Ireland Bob Fisher, University of Edinburgh, UK Giulio Sandini, University of Genoa, Italy Shubha Kadambe, HRL, USA Mandyam Srinivasan, Australian National University, Australia Ian Marshall, University of Kent Lutfi Al-Sharif, VTC Ltd, UK Stephein Bellis, NMRC, Ireland Gian Luca Foresti, University of Udine, Italy Yoshinori Kuno, Saitama University, Japan Gerge Nikiforidis, University of Patras, Greece Paper Submission Authors are requested to submit PDF files for their papers.
