Goals of the workshop

The workshop on IT in Olympics (ITiO) aims to highlight IT innovations in
Olympic games and discuss the challenges in developing and deploying high
performance, complex IT systems that the game demands. It will also focus on
how the new technologies and applications  first trialed in Olympics and
other major sports events has been -- or intended to be -- widely deployed
for several other applications benefiting  the society and the business. 


Scope of the workshop

IT companies and nations often introduce revolutionary new information and
communication technology to the world at the Olympics , the World Cup and
Tennis tournaments.  The innovative applications that harness the promises
of innovative technologies such as the Internet of Things, wearables, cloud
computing, smart hand-held devices, high-resolutions video transmission
technologies, and data analytics not only transform how these games are
conducted but also how we experience them.  

Practitioners, researchers and managers as well be companies that have
deployed or are deploying IT systems for Olympics will have the opportunity
to discuss state of the art solutions, major issues and challenges, recent
innovation, and design and development considerations, as well as areas that
demand further research and development. The workshop will be comprised of
solicited presentations from practitioners, IT companies that were/are
involved with deploying IT systems for the Olympics, academics and
researchers ; a panel discussion, and demos/videos presentations.

 

The Workshop Proceedings (papers/presentations resources) will be made
available via IEEE Xplore.

2016 Olympic Games in Rio.
