IEEE AIoT 2024 aims at bringing together interested parties (universities,
research centers, industries and stakeholders) from around the world
working in the fields of AI and Internet of Things to exchange opinions,
discuss brand-new ideas, developing innovative and emerging solutions, and
establishing new collaborations.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) are two of
the most rapidly evolving and interdependent fields of technology. The
convergence of these two fields is leading to the creation of an emerging
interdisciplinary field, dubbed the Artificial Intelligence of Things
(AIoT). The AIoT represents the integration of AI technologies into IoT
systems and devices, enabling them to interact with their environment in
more sophisticated and intelligent ways. By combining IoT with AI, the data
collected by distributed nodes can be utilized by applying AI techniques
such as machine learning and deep learning. As a result, machine learning
capabilities are moved closer to the data source.

The IEEE AIoT Conference aims to explore the integration of artificial
intelligence (AI) technologies into the Internet of Things (IoT) systems
and devices, enabling them to interact with their environment in more
sophisticated and intelligent ways. The conference will focus on the
following areas:

novel AIoT architectures, frameworks, and algorithms for deploying
state-of-the-art machine learning and deep learning algorithms on IoT and
edge devices, realising the so-called Edge AI or Edge Intelligence;

l AIoT Applications: Identifying and exploring new AIoT applications,
including healthcare, smart homes, industrial automation, transportation,
and digital agriculture;

l Standards and Interoperability: Developing standards and protocols
for AIoT systems and ensuring interoperability between different platforms
and devices; and

l Ethics and Security: Addressing ethical and security concerns related
to AIoT, such as privacy, transparency, and accountability.

Authors are cordially invited to submit their original papers within the
eHealth area. The topics include but are not limited to:

[DMANET] 3 year Postdoctoral Fellow in Mathematical Phylogenetics at UNSW Sydney

Location: UNSW Sydney
Term: 3 years
Closing: May 20, 2024
URL: https://external-careers.jobs.unsw.edu.au/cw/en/job/524013/postdoctoral-fellow-mathematics-statistics

I am recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to work with me on the mathematics of phylogenetic trees and networks. This is a fast-changing field and so the exact research program is likely to evolve, but is likely to include questions arising from bijections between trees and networks on the one hand, and partitions and covers of finite sets on the other. Likewise, the mathematics required for making progress can be diverse, but certainly capacity in discrete mathematics, especially combinatorics and graph theory, will be needed.

The role will suit someone who loves solving problems, floating speculative ideas, coming up with new questions and angles on problems, and finding solutions. It will suit someone who likes to collaborate but will also be happy to work independently at times due to my governance responsibilities.

To enquire informally about the role please email me. Applications need to go through the UNSW system as described in the official advertisement linked in the URL above.

Foundations Symposium, which will take place between July 8-12 2024 at
the U Parkhotel, located in the campus of the University of Twente in
the Netherlands.

The Computer Security Foundations Symposium (CSF) is an annual
conference for researchers in computer security, to examine current
theories of security, the formal models that provide a context for those
theories, and techniques for verifying security. It was created in 1988
as a workshop of the IEEE Computer Society's Technical Committee on
Security and Privacy, in response to a 1986 essay by Don Good entitled
"The Foundations of Computer Security—We Need Some." The meeting became
a "symposium" in 2007, along with a policy for open, increased
attendance. Over the past two decades, many seminal papers and
techniques have been presented first at CSF. For more details on the
history of the symposium, visit CSF's home.

The program includes papers, panels, and a poster session. Topics of
interest include access control, information flow, covert channels,
cryptographic protocols, database security, language-based security,
authorization and trust, verification techniques, integrity and
availability models, and broad discussions concerning the role of formal
methods in computer security and the nature of foundational research in
this area.

======================================================================
M-PREF 2024: CALL FOR PAPERS
======================================================================

15th Multidisciplinary Workshop on Advances in Preference Handling

October 19 or 20, 2024, Santiago de Compostela, Spain
in conjunction with ECAI 2024

https://mpref2024.mpref.org

======================================================================
Submission deadline: May 15, 2024
======================================================================

TOPICS

The workshop on Advances in Preference Handling addresses all
computational aspects of preference handling. This includes methods
for the elicitation, learning, modeling, representation, aggregation,
and management of preferences and for reasoning about preferences. The
workshop studies the usage of preferences in computational tasks from
decision making, database querying, web search, personalized human-
computer interaction, personalized recommender systems, e-commerce,
multi-agent systems, game theory, social choice, combinatorial
optimization, planning and robotics, automated problem solving,
perception and natural language understanding and other computational
tasks involving choices. The workshop seeks to improve the overall
understanding of and best methodologies for preferences in order to
realize their benefits in the multiplicity of tasks for which they are
used. Another important goal is to provide cross-fertilization between
the numerous sub-fields that work with preferences.

- Preference handling in artificial intelligence
- Preference handling in database systems
- Preference handling in multiagent systems
- Applications of preferences
- Preference elicitation and learning
- Preference representation and modeling
- Properties and semantics of preferences
- Practical preferences

FORMAT

The program will consist of presentations of peer-reviewed papers,
panel discussions about future challenges, and an invited talk.

SUBMISSION

We invite interested researchers to submit papers on any computational
aspect of preference handling. Submissions should be formatted
according to the ECAI formatting instructions and not exceed 7 pages
(plus 1 extra page for references).

The purpose of workshop presentations is to get early feedback on new
ideas and to stimulate discussions between researchers interested in
preference handling. As such, there will be no formal proceedings, but
we may post accepted papers on the workshop website for the benefit of
the workshop participants if the authors agree to this and the paper
has not already been published.

Original submissions: Submissions about unpublished ideas will be
reviewed by a double-blind process and should be anonymous.

Multiple submissions: Authors who are seeking a broader forum for
already published work and who are interested in giving a
presentation to the workshop's audience may submit their work
non-anonymously while indicating where this work has been
published. We will only accept work which has been published in
the last calendar year (e.g., ECAI 2023, AAAI 2024, and any
conference held after May 2023).

Transferred papers: In addition to regular paper submissions, we
also consider accepting papers rejected from the main
conference. Decisions about acceptance of these transferred
papers will be based on the reviews of the ECAI PC.

Enschede, The Netherlands

https://csf2024.ieee-security.org
*****************************************************************************

Registrations are now open for CSF 2024, 37th IEEE Computer Security
Foundations Symposium, which will take place between July 8-12 2024 at
the U Parkhotel, located in the campus of the University of Twente in
the Netherlands.

The Computer Security Foundations Symposium (CSF) is an annual
conference for researchers in computer security, to examine current
theories of security, the formal models that provide a context for
those theories, and techniques for verifying security. It was created
in 1988 as a workshop of the IEEE Computer Society's Technical
Committee on Security and Privacy, in response to a 1986 essay by Don
Good entitled "The Foundations of Computer Security—We Need Some." The
meeting became a "symposium" in 2007, along with a policy for open,
increased attendance. Over the past two decades, many seminal papers
and techniques have been presented first at CSF. For more details on
the history of the symposium, visit CSF's home.

The program includes papers, panels, and a poster session. Topics of
interest include access control, information flow, covert channels,
cryptographic protocols, database security, language-based security,
authorization and trust, verification techniques, integrity and
availability models, and broad discussions concerning the role of
formal methods in computer security and the nature of foundational
research in this area.

[DMANET] 21st International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR 2024) - FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS (April 24, 2024)

FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS KR 2024 (Deadline: April 24, 2024)
21st International Conference on
Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, KR 2024
November 2 - November 8, 2024, Hanoi, Vietnam

Deadline for submissions (final call) : 24 April 2024
Conference web site: www.kr.org/KR2024

-- Final Call for Papers --

Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR) is a well-established and
vibrant field of research within Artificial Intelligence. KR builds
on the fundamental thesis that knowledge can often be represented in
an explicit declarative form, suitable for processing by dedicated
symbolic reasoning engines. This enables the exploitation of knowledge
that would otherwise be implicit through semantically grounded
inference mechanisms. KR has contributed to the theory and practice of
various areas of AI, including agents, automated planning, robotics
and natural language processing, and to fields beyond AI, including
data management, semantic web, verification, software engineering,
computational biology, and cybersecurity.

The KR conference series is the leading forum for timely in-depth
presentation of progress in the theory and practice of the
representation and computational management of knowledge.

KR 2024 will consist of a number of tracks and events. It will include
a KR in the Wild, a Reasoning, Learning and Decision Making track and
a recently published research (RPR) track, tutorials, workshops,
competitions, and a doctoral Consortium. Details about all these
events and the corresponding calls can be found on the website
(www.kr.org/KR2024) .

We solicit papers presenting novel results on the principles of KR,
which clearly contribute to the formal foundations of the field, or
show the applicability of KR techniques to implemented or
implementable systems. We welcome papers from other areas that
demonstrate clear use of, or contributions to, the principles or
practice of KR. We also encourage "reports from the field" of
applications, experiments, developments, and tests. Further details
about the submission guidelines and the selection criteria can be
found on the website (www.kr.org/KR2024/submission.php) .

-- Important Dates --

• Submission of title and abstract: April 24, 2024
• Paper submission deadline: May 1, 2024
• Author response period: June 25 - July 1st
• Author notification: July 10, 2024
• Camera-ready papers: July 31, 2024
• Conference: November 2-8, 2024

-- Submission Guidelines --

Contributions may be regular papers (up to 9 pages) or short papers
(up to 4 pages), including abstract, figures, and appendices (if any)
but excluding references and acknowledgements.

Both full and short papers must describe original, previously
unpublished research and should not be simultaneously submitted
elsewhere. These restrictions do not apply to papers already accepted
in workshops with a limited audience and without archival proceedings,
or to papers available in public repositories (e.g., arXiv). Note
that extended abstracts of recently published works can be submitted
to the recently published research track, which has a separate call.

Papers must be written in English and formatted using the style files
provided in the submission page. Submissions are not anonymous (i.e.,
reviewing is single-blind) and must be submitted in PDF format.

The paper title, author names, contact details, and a brief abstract
must be submitted electronically through the conference system by the
abstract submission deadline. It will be possible to make minor edits
to the title and abstract until the full paper submission deadline.
Submissions with "placeholder" abstracts will be removed without
consideration.

Full papers must be submitted through the same site by the paper
submission deadline. The list of author names provided at submission
time is final. Authors may not be added to or removed from papers
after submission.

Authors may submit a separate PDF with additional information
supporting their claims (such as proof details, additional
experimental results, further details on experimental design, etc).
Such supplementary material should be submitted via the conference
management system. The paper must be self contained, as the
supplementary material will not be published. Reviewers will have the
option, but not the obligation, to consult the supplementary material.

-- Selection Process --

The program committee consists of PC members (reviewers) and Area
Chairs (ACs), who overview the reviewing and meta-reviewing process.
Selection criteria include the novelty and originality of ideas,
correctness, clarity, significance of results, potential impact and
quality of the presentation. Papers violating the format (e.g., by
decreasing margins or font sizes) or describing contributions that do
not significantly meet the topics of the conference will be desk
rejected by the program chairs, without any opportunity to submit
an author response. By submitting a paper, authors acknowledge that
they are aware of the possibility of receiving a summary rejection
notification.

Papers that are not desk rejected will be reviewed by a group of
PC members (PCs) and the reviewing process will be supervised by an
Area Chair (AC).

During the reviewing period, authors will have the opportunity to
respond to reviews by pointing out factual errors and answering
specific questions. Author responses should be concise, and are not
intended to create a dialogue between reviewers and authors. Author
responses will be visible to PCs and ACs. The program co-chairs will
make the final decisions and there are no appeals.

Accepted papers will be published in the KR 2024 proceedings. At least
one author of each accepted paper is required to participate in the
conference and present the work.

Prizes for best papers (the Ray Reiter Best Paper Prize and the Marco

[DMANET] [CFP] Sensing and Data Platforms: what is ahead of us (Special Session 11), IEEE MetroAgriFor Workshop

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message]

Dear Researchers/Authors,
You are invited to submit your high-quality research findings to the
Special Session 11: "Sensing and Data Platforms: what is ahead of us" of
the 2024 IEEE International Workshop on Metrology for Agriculture and
Forestry (MetroAgriFor).

October 29-31, 2024 - Padua, Italy

Website: https://www.metroagrifor.org/special-session-11

Aims and Scope
The role of sensing, including in-situ, proximity and remote, is increasingly crucial for agriculture and forestry.
Huge investments have been made in this field - consider for instance satellite constellations for remote sensing, the thriving UAV sector, and the dawning sector of terrestrial rovers - and benefits are evident in several application areas.
The other side of the coin is represented by the data platforms used to collect, store, and process the huge amount of data coming from sensing platforms.
Such data platforms should, among others, provide interoperable data through open interfaces (APIs) to different classes of users, but such functionality has not yet reached its full potential.

In Europe, there have been several recent initiatives focused on enhancing data sharing and processing.
One key effort is the European Strategy for Data, which introduces the concept of a Common European Data Space and includes actions to deploy Agriculture and Green Deal sectorial data spaces.
Additionally, the Horizon Europe framework is providing funding for the establishment of European Partnerships that bring together the European Commission with private and/or public partners to address pressing challenges through collaborative research and innovation projects.
One such partnership, the European Partnership for Agriculture of Data, aims to support sustainable agriculture in the EU and improve policy monitoring and implementation by leveraging digital and data technologies for environmental observation.

The goal of this special session is to investigate the potential and the challenges of both sensing and data platforms, looking to future developments, and also considering economic and legal aspects to be carefully taken into consideration.

Contributions are expected to contribute to, but are not limited to, the following topics:

- sensing systems, both local and remote, and recent developments;
- state of the art of data platforms linked to sensing systems, standards, interoperability enablers, and sustainability of their business model;
- GEOSS Data Sharing and Management Principles, FAIR principles, and other interoperable solutions with the potential to further push the use of sensing data;
- economic and legal aspects that can fuel or limit the use of such systems.

Important dates
- Extended Abstract Submission: June 10, 2024
- Extended Abstract Notification: September 1, 2024
- Final Paper Submission: September 20, 2024

Submission Instruction
Authors should prepare an Extended Abstract (4-5 pages) that clearly
indicates the originality of the contribution and the relevance of the
work. The Extended Abstract should include the title of the paper, names
and affiliations of the authors, an abstract, keywords, an introduction
describing the nature of the problem and the state of the art in the field
of interest, a description of the contribution, the results achieved and
their applicability, conclusions, and references.
When the review process has been completed, authors receive a notification
of either acceptance or rejection of the submission. If the paper has been
accepted, the authors can prepare a final paper that incorporates the
reviewers' suggestions.
The format for the final paper is identical to the format for the extended
abstract except for the number of pages: the full paper has a required
minimum length of five (5) pages and a maximum of six (6) pages.
