Organizer: Ashir Ahmed, Kyushu University, JAPAN E-mail: ashir@soc.ait.kyushu-u.ac.jp SS15: Sensor Cloud Technologies for Safe TransportationObjective:Use of heterogeneous sensors has been rapidly increasing in the transportation sector in recent years. It enables gathering different useful information about vehicles, roads and their surrounds, using which drivers can be assisted towards maintaining safe driving manners. Again, vast penetration of sensor clouds has opened a new era of sharing such information with the highway police, transportation department and other related sectors that can use the information in effectively guiding and supervising vehicles, and planning and monitoring the transportation system. Moreover, different necessary tools and application services can also make use of this to serve better in processing, computing and sharing necessary information to make transportation more clean, efficient and safe.

Intelligent information processing techniques, for example, enable us to develop computer-aided systems for helping people with disabilities. Furthermore, under the development of high-performance medical devices such as fMRIs, intelligent information processing are needed more and more in the medical fields. In this organized session, we will discuss state-of-the-art technologies related to intelligent processing in medical and welfare devices.

The applications include a broad range of medical treatment, life science, human science or feeling, etc. Session organizers strongly encourage for participants to deliver their new developments and to obtain a satisfaction of taking part in the ICIEV15 conference in Kitakyushu. Organizer: Masahiro Nakano, Junshin Gakuen University, Japan E-mail: nakano@med.uoeh-u.ac.jp SS18: Application of Human Reliability Analysis for Marine AccidentsObjective:Human Reliability Analysis, HRA, is utilized in Probabilistic Risk Assessment, PRA. There are two general classes in HRA. One is based on PRA and the other is based on a cognitive theory of control. The Technique for Human Error Rate Prediction, THERP is a major example based on PRA and the Cognitive Reliability and Error Analysis Method, CREAM is also a major example based on a cognitive theory of control. In this special session, applications of THERP and CREAM for marine accidents etc. will be presented. Organizer: Nobuo Mitomo, Nihon University, Japan E-mail: mitomo.nobuo@nihon-u.ac.jp SS19: Computational Intelligences for Healthcare and RehabilitationObjective:The session focuses on computational intelligence for application in field of rehabilitation and healthcare. The world's population is growing and aging. Especially, Japan is a country in which society is rapidly aging. Healthy life for the elderly is very important to maintain the physical strength and healthy mind. It is really ideal that caregivers can play the roles in mental and physical care, but their number is not enough in the current situation. Therefore, the integration of information technology, network technology, robot and mechatronics technology, and intelligence technology can be one of the solutions to support them. In this session, we will discuss the state-of-the-art of methodology for healthcare and rehabilitation. Find the Call for Paper of this session: Click Here.

Especially in Japan, the rate is very high. That causes various problems, such as medicine cost, psychological care, nursing, crime prevention, and etc. For the improvement of them, various appliances are developed. However, they are mainly made for heavily handicapped people. There are many elderly people with healthy condition. For them, by a little support, they can do everything by themselves. Thus, it is also important to support healthy elderly people. This session focuses to sensing system and integrated system for social welfare. It is important to develop user-oriented system. Especially, the appliance for elderly people requires the integration of many fields such as mechanical, electronic, architectural technologies. This session welcomes the user-oriented technologies.
