CFP:

Quality of Life (QoL) is directly related to environmental pressures and conditions, including

air quality, pollen, drinking and bathing water quality, noise pollution, waste production,

energy consumption, nutrition and many others.

The plethora of living patterns, as well as the availability of various ICT that are interwoven

to the urban web, calls for a detailed, intelligent, personalized and yet easily generalized ways

for monitoring, modeling and managing environmental systems and conditions.

It is therefore evident that services, systems, applications and algorithms dealing with everyday

utility for the individual, are expected to play an important role in supporting QoL. On this basis,

QoL information services are expected to make use of personalized access and interactivity to

multimodal information, based on user preferences and semantic concepts or human-machine

interface systems utilizing information on the affective state of the user.

The proposed AI workshop will receive papers concerning intelligent methods for analyzing

and modeling environmental systems and conditions, with the aim to serve the everyday needs

of citizens under various QoL states. Human centric approaches in environmental information

services will also be addressed, as they require intelligent, knowledge-centric methods and

tools, that are flexible, adaptable to environmental problems, and perform better in terms of

knowledge mapping and system behavior reproduction.

SPECIAL ISSUE:

All accepted papers will be published in the Proceedings of the main event. Selected papers

from the workshop will pass through a peer review process in order to be published in a

Special Issue of the Journal Engineering Intelligent Systems.

PREVIOUS EVENTS:

The first "Intelligent Environmental Monitoring, Modelling & Management Systems for better

Quality of Life Workshop" was held in the framework of the

20th ICANN 2010 (http://delab.csd.auth.gr/icann2010/iemmm_call.html)

Submission:

All papers should be submitted to both Program chairs:

liliadisfmenr.duth.gr and

kkaraeng.auth.gr

Papers should be submitted either in a doc or in a pdf form and they should be peer reviewed by

at least 2 academic referees. They should not exceed 10 pages formatted according to the

well known LNCS Springer style.

Publication:

Accepted papers will be presented orally in the conference for 20 minutes and they will be published in the Proceedings of the main event.

They will be also considered for potential selection for publication in the Special Issues that will be edited.
