SSMSCT: Mobile Sensor and Cloud Technologies (MSCT)

Objective:
Mobile phones or smartphones are rapidly becoming the central computing and communicating device in our everyday life. Meanwhile, the Internet of Things (IoT) allows objects to be sensed and controlled remotely across existing network infrastructure. Thus, the integration of mobile computing and sensing with cloud computing and IoT enables new applications that process big data collected from the physical world, and have an impact on almost every aspects of our daily life, including transportation, healthcare, safety, smart cities, social interaction, environmental monitoring etc. Along with the advancements in mobile sensing, challenges are also appearing in large numbers. Energy drainage caused by continuous sensing, security, privacy, resource management and provisioning etc. are emerging as major challenges in achieving full performance benefits from the Mobile Cloud Technologies. Thus collaborative, eco-friendly and energy-efficient solutions are of high demand in Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC). This special session will provide a great platform to allow researchers in academia and industry to exchange their latest research results and development activities in mobile cloud computing.
Topics of interests include, but are not limited to:
  • Architectures and Protocols for cloud based mobile application and services
  • Reliability, availability, scalability, QoS and performance issues in MCC
  • Mobile cloud resource management, provisioning and migration techniques
  • Pricing, SLA and Billing of MCC applications and services
  • Energy aware and Context aware computation in mobile sensor and cloud technologies
  • Crowd sourcing and crowd sensing in MCC
  • Green Cloud Computing
  • IoT in Mobile Cloud Computing
  • Security and Privacy in MCC

SSASG: Advancements in the Smart Grid (ASG)

Objective:
The objective of this special track is to bring together researchers working on integration of advanced technologies in the Smart Grid (SG). The SG is a new concept where traditional power grid network is equipped with intelligence from one or more advanced technologies, namely, renewable energy systems, telecommunications systems, wireless sensor and actor networks, sustainable environmental systems, artificial intelligence, computer networks, and qualitative and quantitative socioeconomic development research. In the SG, both power flow and information flow are bidirectional, which can be based upon the intelligence received from the support technologies. As a result, the SG can act not only as a smart power grid but also towards developing an intelligent technology infrastructure composed of advancements of several support technology systems.
This special track seeks high-quality original unpublished work in areas including but not limited to the following:
  • Renewable energy integration in the SG
  • Sustainable development issues in the SG
  • Communication infrastructure and networks in the SG
  • The SG applications of Internet of Things (IoT)
  • Intelligence for the SG
  • Business models in the SG
  • Performance evaluation of the SG
  • Simulation framework and tools development for the SG
  • Emerging technologies development for the SG
  • The prospects and challenges of the SG in developing countries

SSRTCC: Recent Trends in Computer-based Classification (RTCC)

Objective:
We are living in the era of automation, a major part of which is decision making such as classification and recognition of different objects and/or events. Such classification may range from simple sensor-based classifications to sophisticated classifications based on heterogeneous data sources. This special session focuses on the recent works on various classification techniques for different applications.
This special session welcomes submissions of original unpublished works on the following, but not limited to, topics on machine learning, classification and decision making:
  • Machine learning for human related applications such as face, gender, expression and activity recognition.
  • Decision fusion and feature fusion strategies for pattern classification.
  • Event detection and decision making based on sensory data including Internet of Things (IoT).
  • Other applications requiring automatic classification/recognition.
