mobileGov World Summit and Global mobileGov Awards 2017
7-9 May, 2017 - Brighton UK - www.m4life.org
————————————————————————

At the mobileGov World Summit 2017, we are working towards covering all 
essential topics related to mobile public services and new trends. The 
conference has now two more interesting panels. We are soliciting 
panelists and speakers for the following topics from highly qualified 
experts and practitioners in related domains.

One of these panels is specifically focussed on the recent IoT 
developments and its contribution to the mobileGovernment field, with a 
critical look to “intelligent systems”. This panel will be hosted by 
Prof. Kushchu, whose expertise is on Evolutionary Artificial 
Intelligence and Mobile Technologies.

The other panel will discuss the potential of citizen involvement in 
creating local public mobile services and will be organized by Joan 
Battle of Ajuntament de Barcelona. It shares valuable insights on how 
the city of Barcelona achieved an advanced level of mobile government 
development.

Experts from public and private sector who are willing to share their 
ideas and experiences are welcome to participate to these panels. Please 
see the short descriptions of the panels below and get in touch with us 
at conf at m4life.org or visit www.m4life.org to show interest.

I would be grateful if you could forward this call to those who may be 
interested to join and participate at the event.


PANEL DESCRIPTIONS

Limits of IoT Intelligence?
------------------------------------
The panel explores the relationship between IoT and Artificial 
Intelligence and how intelligent could the IoT systems be. Basic 
questions it raises are on the limits of current learning mechanisms in 
AI that could help making sense of collected large amounts of data 
through sensors and converting that ‘sense’ into intelligent actions. 
Some of the topics to discuss include deep learning and resulting 
performance in IoT systems. The panel will be critically evaluate the 
expected performance from intelligence of IoT.


Mobile Apps Made by Citizens for Citizens: the role of the Local public 
administrations?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While mobile technologies empower citizens to be more involved in 
service provisions of government organisations, they also have better 
knowledge of what is best for themselves. Such new movements create 
opportunities and challenges for service provision process of local 
administrations. while it is important that local public administrations 
should transform themselves in offering better services, it is also fact 
that citizens may contribute better in deciding and designing what is 
bets for them.

This panel aims to open up discussion as such and raise several critical 
questions, too. Could apps be a new means for the provision of services 
of public interest made by citizens for citizens? What could the role of 
Public Administrations and  How PA can contribute?
