About |
Following the successful CODASSCA2018 which was held two years ago at the American University of Armenia, now we have the pleasure to invite you to participate in the 2nd Workshop on Collaborative Technologies and Data Science in Smart City Applications (CODASSCA 2020) which will be held at the American University of Armenia AUA, August 25-28, 2020 in Yerevan, Armenia. The workshop takes place in connection with the DAAD-sponsored summer school organized by the AUA and the University of Duisburg-Essen on Enhancements of Deep Learning Systems for Intelligent Applications and the Connected Society. The society, technologies, and sciences undergo a rapid and revolutionary transformation towards Ambient Intelligence (AmI). Ambient intelligence (AmI) research is based on advances in sensors and sensor networks, pervasive computing, embedding computational capability into everyday objects and artificial intelligence bringing cognitive capabilities to a new generation of devices, sensors and controllers with their interfaces in smart environments (SmE) growing in their capabilities and easing collaboration among people. Mobile systems could enhance the possibilities available for designers and practitioners. However, a number of requirements must be fulfilled and complexities resolved before such systems generate reliable, accurate and timely information which is really trusted and appreciated by users. The main source and asset for making smart systems is data, which our information age made easily accessible. The next main challenge we face is to effectively and efficiently extract knowledge from huge amounts of data from heterogeneous sources to make the systems self-contained and autonomous. To ensure data quality, accurate results and reliable (visual) analysis support in human-centered artificial intelligence applications, additional collaboration issues, privacy and security requirements should be addressed within a throughout verification and validation management. Major industrial domains are on the way to perform this tectonic shift based on Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, Collaborative Technologies, Smart Environments (SmE) supporting Virtual and Mixed Reality Applications, Multimodal Interaction and Reliable Visual Analytics. Research in AmI and SmE in Urban and Rural Areas presents great challenges: AmI depends on advances in sensor networks, artificial intelligence, ubiquitous and persuasive computing, knowledge representation, spatial and temporal reasoning. SmE builds upon embedded systems, smart integration, and an increasing fusion of real and virtual objects in the IoT. Customized sensor networks are used to detect human behavior and activities, evaluation logic and process mining are needed to replace people’s cognitive abilities in Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) applications, detecting recurring activities without being noticed and hurting their privacy. As digitization has become an integral part of everyday life, data collection has resulted in the accumulation of huge amounts of data that can be used in various beneficial application domains. Effective analysis, quality assessment and utilization of big data is a key factor for success in many business and service domains, including the domain of smart systems. However, a number of challenges must be overcome to reap the benefits of big data. As big data handles large amounts of data with varying data structures and real-time processing, one of the most important challenges is to maintain data security and adopt proper data privacy policies. In general, there is a strong need to gain information of interest from big data analysis and at the same time, prevent misuse of data so that people’s trust in digital channels is not broken. To ensure data quality, accurate results and reliable analysis support in health care applications, additional collaboration issues, privacy and security requirements are addressed within a throughout verification and validation management. |
