[AISWorld] CFP: Challenges for Large-Scale Deployment of Smart IoT technologies in HCI 2018

[peng alex]

Dear colleagues,



I would like to invite you to consider submitting a paper and participating in the parallel session entitled 'Challenges for Large-Scale Deployment of Smart IoT technologies' that I am chairing. This session will be one of the parallel sessions of the 6th International Conference on Distributed, Ambient and Pervasive Interactions (http://2018.hci.international/DAPI) in the context of the 20th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, to be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, 15 - 20 July 2018.



In recent years, many different types of smart and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are emerging in our lives, cities and society, and cover various areas like transportation, healthcare, energy management, public safety, industry, agriculture - to name a few. However, empirical evidence shows that many of these innovative technologies are still in a pilot testing stage, and that their large-scale deployment is still fraught with crucial challenges and difficulties. This session aims to provide a multidisciniplary forum for researchers to share their insights on key challenges and barriers that can affect successful deployment of smart and IoT technologies, as well as to discuss critically how such challenges may be overcome in specific contexts.



FYI, all papers will appear in the Conference Proceedings to be published by Springer in a multi-volume set in the LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) series (http://2018.hci.international/proceedings).  The proceedings will also be indexed by ISI Conference Proceedings Citation Index, EI Engineering Index and Scopus.



Important deadlines
Monday, 15 January 2018: Full Paper (typically 12 pages but no less than 10 and no more than 20 pages) through the CMS, for the review process
Monday, 29 January 2018: Notification of review outcome
Friday, 9 February 2018: Submission through the CMS of the camera-ready version (full papers, typically 12 pages but no less than 10 and no more than 20 pages) of all papers



Please contact me (penggch at mail.sysu.edu.cn) as soon as possible if you are interested in this session.  So then I can send you a formal invitation from the conference system.



Kind regards,
Alex Peng
