(http://ecos.pa.icar.cnr.it/events/kesSession)

Invited Session of the 9th International KES Conference on
Intelligent Interactive Multimedia: Systems and Services
(http://iimss-16.kesinternational.org/index.php)
to be held at Hotel Botanico & The Oriental Spa Garden,
Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife, Spain, 15-17 June 2016


SCOPE
Smart environments compile a huge number of heterogeneous data, which have
to be processed to provide responses in real time. This requires for new
ways to consider the information system platforms supporting them.
As a matter of fact, by sensing our surrounding environment and/or adding
effectors of many sorts we are currently building a new generation of
information systems able to improve our everyday lives. The applications
covered by this kind of systems range from health and safety to power
efficiency and comfort.
This special session has the purpose of discussing the requirements of the
information systems supporting smart environments, as well as the methods
and techniques that are currently being explored in this area.

The list of topics includes:
*  Theories, techniques and technologies for ubiquitous systems, smart
environments, smart spaces, smart cities/buildings/grids/...
*  Dynamic/adaptive/runtime service coordination/orchestration techniques
*  Self-adaptative systems
*  Self-organizing systems
*  Intelligent and multi-agent systems
*  Modelling/programming languages, design methodologies for intelligent
and multi-agent systems
*  Tools to support the development of information and control systems for
smart environments.
