IE 2022 Call for Doctoral Colloquium Papers !!! Deadline extension !!!

18th International Conference on Intelligent Environments (IE2022), 
20-23 June 2022, Biarritz, France

http://ie2022.iutbayonne.univ-pau.fr/

Important Dates:
    Conference paper submission:         3 January 2022
    Communication of results:           15 February 2022
    Camera ready:                       28 March 2022


As a part of the latest in the highly successful series of International 
Conferences on Intelligent Environments, we will be hosting a Doctoral 
Colloquium (DC) at the 2022 conference in Biarritz, France at 20-23 June 
2022. The aims of this Colloquium are both social and educational - to 
provide research students in the early to mid-phases of their projects 
an opportunity to meet other people in a similar position, to make 
relatively informal presentations on their work, to discuss and 
give/receive feedback on each other's experiences, ideas and findings, 
to make connections and to have fun!
If you have any questions about the colloquium, then please email the 
colloquium chairs (contact details at 
https://ie2022.iutbayonne.univ-pau.fr/doctoral-colloquium/)

CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS – DC SHORT PAPERS

Key aspects of the Doctoral Colloquium are the presentations, where 
research students present, discuss and defend their work.

All accepted presentations will be submitted as "short written papers" 
(maximum of 4 pages) and will be published in the IEEE Proceedings for 
the IE'22 conference.

A prize will be awarded for the best colloquium paper, which will be 
announced during the main conference.

All presentations should be on research projects (PhD or similar), on 
topics appropriate to the Intelligent Environments theme which are either
     (a) in a relatively early stage, but where the investigating 
student has already identified the nature and key aspects of the 
problem(s), and has ideas regarding how to solve them, or
     (b) is at a stage where interesting results are being produced, but 
the work is not yet quite at a stage appropriate to produce a long paper.

As a minimum, papers should describe a research problem, explain why 
that problem is important and interesting, detail what the existing 
solutions (if any) or relevant methods are, including why these are not 
sufficient or satisfactory, and give some indication of the new 
solutions or methodologies the student is pursuing. There should be 
enough substance to offer and stimulate discussion, but the work does 
not need to be complete. Participants will also be expected to give 
short, informal presentations of their work during the Doctoral 
Colloquium track session in June 2022 at the main conference, to be 
followed by a discussion with peers which is intended to help the 
students optimize their research strategies and develop their research 
ideas.

The main author of all contributions to the Doctoral Colloquium MUST be 
a student registered for a PhD or similar research degree.

CONFERENCE TOPICS

Contributions in the following areas are solicited (but not limited to):
     • Advances in theories for the design, implementation, integration 
and evaluation of smart spaces,
     • Novel architectures and middle-ware for the integration of 
devices, edges, and clouds
     • Software facilities to develop, deploy, monitor, update 
applications for smart spaces,
