Thematic Track of 19th Conference on Artificial Intelligence (EPIA 2019)

3-6 September 2019, Vila Real, Portugal

https://epia2019.utad.pt/



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Submission deadline: April 15th, 2019

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EPIA'19 invites submissions to the Artificial Intelligence in
Cyber-Physical and Distributed Embedded Systems track, AICPDES. The aim of
this thematic track is to present recent works on the use of Artificial
Intelligence (AI) in the context of cyber-physical and distributed embedded
systems, including the growing need for “Smart Systems” which present
intrinsic relationship between AI and hardware, software and human
participants. Research in this area comprises Internet of Things (IoT),
collective robotics, smart grids, smart cities, etc. Regarding the field
practical aspects, scientific and demonstration papers can address applied
research on how models and technologies from AI particularly meet the
following challenges:



Integration of services/data carried by CPS;

Models and paradigms to enable interaction between CPS;

Human position in the cyber-physical world (ethics, security,
confidentiality, protection of privacy, access control to the information
carried by the objects);

Discovery, composition, and management of “physical” services.



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Contributions

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The main topics of interest, but not restricted to are the following:



- Specification and modeling,

- Design methodology,

- Pervasive trust and privacy,

- Cyber-Physical Systems governance,

- Self-* properties,

- Simulation of software/hardware mixed agent systems,

- Authentication and Authorization,

- Physical service description, planning, coordination and composition

- Communication networks and middleware,

- Things “social” aspect (identification and management of things
communities),

- Specific decentralized architectures,

- Integration of complementary technologies, such as multi-agent systems,
service-oriented architectures, wireless sensor networks, and cloud
technologies

- Robustness, adaptation, reconfiguration, self-organization and other
self-* properties in CPS

- Real-time aspects in thing decision making,

- Information retrieval and management,

- Power-efficient design,

- Intrusion Detection and Processing Dependability and fault tolerance,

- Analysis and validation of CPS agent-based systems

- CPS for Industry 4.0

- Case studies.

Submission Information and paper publication

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All accepted papers will be published by Springer in a volume of Springer’s
Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) corresponding to the
proceedings of the 19th EPIA Conference on Artificial Intelligence, EPIA
2019.



Submissions must be original and not published elsewhere. Papers should not
exceed twelve (12) pages in length and must adhere to the formatting
instructions of the conference. Each submission will be peer-reviewed by at
least three members of the Program Committee. The reviewing process is
double blind, so authors should remove names and affiliations from the
submitted papers, and must take reasonable care to assure anonymity during
the review process. References to own work may be included in the paper, as
long as referred to in the third person. Acceptance will be based on the
paper’s significance, technical quality, clarity, relevance, and
originality. All accepted papers must be presented orally the conference by
one of the authors and at least one author of each accepted paper must
register for the conference.



All papers should be submitted in PDF format through the EPIA 2019 EasyChair
submission page (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=epia2019).
