IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man and Cybernetics (SMC?19) http://www.smc2019.org/ October 6-9, 2019 ? Bari, Italy Cyber-Physical Systems are enhancing several industry sectors through a higher coordination between computational and physical elements. Nevertheless, challenges remain at multiple levels: - coping with platform hardware/software heterogeneity and computational resource restrictions; - device communication and interoperability, requiring protocols and systems with high autonomy and flexibility in information storage, management and discovery; - real-time event detection and characterization: dynamic context-aware data analysis should leverage resources from available nearby devices in an opportunistic way and produce human- and machine-understandable event annotations; - high-level frameworks and applications for resource-constrained and/or real-time platforms, integrating personal devices (smartphones, tablets, wearables) into industrial control networks to put humans in the loop. Semantic technologies provide a possible solution paradigm, fostering open knowledge-based architectures exploiting automated reasoning for information management and decision making. The goal of the ?Semantic Cyber-Physical Systems for Industry 4.0? special session is to collect the most recent and advanced research on topics such as the Semantic Web of Things, opportunistic computing and semantic-enabled systems where devices, agents and people interact, specifically in Industry 4.0 settings.

From sira.ferradans at fortia.fr Mon Mar 25 06:09:08 2019 From: sira.ferradans at fortia.fr (Sira Ferradans) Date: Mon, 25 Mar 2019 11:09:08 +0100 Subject: [AISWorld] The Second Financial Narrative Processing Workshop (FNP 2019) Message-ID: Dear all, The Second Financial Narrative Processing Workshop (FNP 2019) To be held at The 22nd Nordic Conference on Computational Linguistics (NoDaLiDa?19) in Turku, Finland. Workshop URL: http://wp.lancs.ac.uk/cfie/fnp2019/ Shared Task URL: http://wp.lancs.ac.uk/cfie/shared-task/ WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION: Following the success of the First FNP 2018 at LREC?18, Japan, we have had a great deal of positive feedback and interest in continuing the development of the financial narrative processing field. This prompted us to hold a training workshop in textual analysis methods for financial narratives that was oversubscribed showing that there is an increasing interest in the subject. As a result, we are now motivated to organise the Second Financial Narrative Processing Workshop, FNP 2019. The workshop will continue focusing on the use of Natural Language Processing (NLP), Machine Learning (ML), and Corpus Linguistics (CL) methods related to all aspects of financial text mining and financial narrative processing (FNP). There is a growing interest in the application of automatic and computer-aided approaches for extracting, summarising, and analysing both qualitative and quantitative financial data. In recent years, previous manual small-scale research in the Accounting and Finance literature has been scaled up with the aid of NLP and ML methods, for example to examine approaches to retrieving structured content from financial reports, and to study the causes and consequences of corporate disclosure and financial reporting outcomes. One focal point of the proposed workshop is to develop a better understanding of the determinants of financial disclosure quality and the factors that influence the quality of information disclosed to investors beyond the quantitative data reported in the financial statements. The workshop will also encourage efforts to build resources and tools to help advance the work on financial narrative processing (including content retrieval and classification) due to the dearth of publicly available datasets and the high cost and limited access of content providers. The workshop aims to advance research on the lexical properties and narrative aspects of corporate disclosures, including glossy (PDF) annual reports, US 10-K and 10-Q financial documents, corporate press releases (including earning announcements), conference calls, media articles, social media, etc. For FNP 2019 we are collaborating with Fortia Financial Solutions, a French based company specialised in Financial Investment and Risk management on organising a shared task on automatic detection of financial documents structure as part of FNP 2019. http://wp.lancs.ac.uk/cfie/shared-task/ Systems participating in the shared task can be submitted as short papers to be part of the workshop's proceedings. MOTIVATION AND TOPICS OF INTEREST: Financial narrative disclosures represent a large part of firms overall financial communications with investors. Textual commentaries help to clarify issues obscured by complex accounting methods and footnote disclosures. In addition, narratives summarise corporate strategy, contextualise results, explain governance arrangements, describe corporate social responsibility policy, and provide forward-looking information for investors. They also provide management with an opportunity to obfuscate accounting results and manipulate readers? perceptions of underlying economic performance.

IoT is considered as an integral part of the future Internet. It is based on interoperable communication protocols in order to enable the interaction and integration of virtual as well as physical Things such as computers, smart devices, sensors, cars, refrigerators, food packages, medicines, etc. Things can be seamlessly integrated into the information network and interaction can be made through the provision of intelligent interfaces. In not so distant future, IoT will be forcing its way into every aspect of our lives and technologies including smart homes, smart cities, environment and nature, green energy, food, medicine, automotive, aerospace and aviation, telecommunication, and so on. IoT is generally characterized by real world and small Things, limited capacity, constrained devices and the consequential issues such as less reliability, security and privacy. Cloud computing on the other hand deals mainly with virtual world and has unlimited capabilities in terms of storage and processing power. Thus cloud and IoT are the main complementary aspects of the future Internet. IoT can benefit from the unlimited capabilities and resources of cloud computing. Similarly, cloud can benefit from IoT by extending its scope to deal with real world things in a more distributed and dynamic manner. The theme of this conference is to promote the state of the art in scientific and practical research of the IoT and cloud computing.
