Proposed Special Sessions [more to be added]:

SS1: Sensing, Computing and Actuating for Smart Urban Environments
SS2: BANGLA & AI: Methods, Applications and Challenges

SS1: Sensing and Computing for Well-being, Health, and Entertainment in Smart Urban Environments

Outline: Sensors and actuators are leaving lab environments and enter the domestic, office, shopping, public, recreational and urban environments. These environments track human behavior, adapt to human behavior, or persuade or enforce humans to adapt their behavior to particular requirements of the environment. In urban environments, sensors and actuators can be designed to make such environments more efficient and manageable. Smart cities aim at using digital smartness to improve waste management, reduce energy consumption, increase safety, control traffic, and improve public transport et cetera. Drones, delivery robots, and self-driving cars will complete the future urban landscape. Digital smartness obtained by sensors and actuators can also help to make the urban landscape more sustainable and healthy. The well-being of citizens can be promoted by making participation in city life more social and attractive by introducing digitally enhanced applications that aim at enhancing safe, social, and healthy circumstances and behavior for children, adults, and the elderly.
Digital technology should address issues such as placemaking for social interaction, the creation of child-friendly environments, free and safe movement around the neighborhood, outdoor activities, public and interactive art projects, and independent travel and unsupervised play for children.
Unobtrusive technology such as computer vision and presence and proximity sensors embedded in the urban environment makes it possible to track and interpret human behavior and to create interactive informing, persuasive and social and playful activity promoting media that display affordances and allow implicit and explicit multimodal interaction.
In this special session, we ask for papers that address these issues. Papers can discuss scientific, engineering, societal, and ethical issues related to applications made possible by introducing sensors, actuators, and computer processing in urban environments.

SS2: BANGLA & AI: Methods, Applications and Challenges

Outline: Various AI-based methods and applications related to Bangla language will be motto of this special session. Bangla Language Processing (BLP), Bangla Sign Language, Bangle News Extraction, Speech analysis, Bangla licence plate recognition, etc. are the core issues to deal in this session. Authors are invited to submit datasets, methods, comparative analysis, rigorous surveys along with the comparative analysis of other languages.
Based on the quality of the papers, a book on Springer may be considered where the extended papers will be considered as book chapters.

Call for Mini-Workshop (W) / Special Session (SS) / Tutorial Session (TS) Proposals

We welcome you to organize Mini-Workshop / Special Session / Tutorial Session!

The aim of a W/SS/TS is to provide a complementary flavor to the regular sessions and should include hot topics of interest to the conference topics that may also go beyond disciplines traditionally represented at the conference.

Proposal Submission:
Prospective organizers of W/SS/TS should submit proposals with the info below:
  • Title of the W/SS/TS:
  • Objective of the W/SS/TS: Define & explain - how the W/SS/TS will be different/related from the subjects covered by the regular sessions.
  • Name of the W/SS/TS organizers and short profiles of them.
  • Information on possible papers, presenters and apart from papers to be presented, mention whether you will invite any speaker for the W/SS/TS. [Minimum number of papers for a SS: 4 accepted papers at least and no compromise on quality!]
  • Mini-Workshop length: Half-day workshop may be allowed.


W/SS/TS's evaluation criteria:
  • Interest on the topic
  • Evaluation on the organizers [& panel of experts reviewers for W/OS]
  • Plan of the W/SS/TS
All papers presented in the W/SS will be included in the Conference Proceedings. Therefore, all papers must submit according to the instructions of the conference.
Don't miss this opportunity to attend this conference!
We are looking forward to have you in the conference!
