[AISWorld] Springer Book on Smart Life-related Topics - Call for chapters - First deadline soon

[Elena Kornyshova]

Dear Colleague,

We are currently working on the elaboration of the book "Smart Life and 
Smart Life Engineering: Current State and Future Vision" 
(http://isesl23.cnam.fr/book.php), which will be published by 
Springer(the proposal has already been accepted  by the publisher).

The main topics include: Interconnections of Smart Life and Humanity, 
Methodological challenges of Smart Life Engineering, and Technological 
issues related to this field. We expect to receive all kinds of 
submissions: from theoretical contributions to experience reports.

We are still searching for several topics for the book, namely (but not 
restricted to):

  * Maturity growth of Smart Life applications.
  * Smart Domains: Smart agriculture, Smart factory, Smart
    transportation, Smart energy, Smart natural resource management, etc.
  * Methodology of Smart Life Engineering: Development Methodology,
    Requirements Engineering, Quality Models, etc. applied to different
    Smart domains.
  * Smart Technologies: IoT, ML and Big Data, Sensors, etc. in various
    Smart domains.
  * Smart Artefacts: Smart Planes, Intelligent Cars, Smart Products,
    Smart Mobiles, Smart Wearables, Smart Robots, etc.

The deadline for the first version of Smart book chapters is by *March, 7*.

The submitted version will be mutually reviewed by the contributing 
co-authors to provide a new version for the second submission. We expect 
also that at least one of the authors of each chapter participates in 
the ISESL workshop (http://isesl23.cnam.fr/) this year especially 
dedicated to working on chapters of this book.

The book is completely free for the authors.

In the following, you will find more details about the submission.

Looking forward to receiving your contribution

Very best regards,

Smart book team.

Call for Chapters


Book goal

Motivated by sustainable, human-oriented, and sentient development of 
Smart applications, we are observing the emergence of a novel scientific 
domain, which aims at the systematization of existing knowledge and 
formulating common principles, design, and development methods, with 
associated technologies for applications improving the life of Humans. 
We call this domain Smart Life.
The aim of the given book is to bring together the existing knowledge 
about various aspects of Smart Life and to move on building the 
scientific domain of Smart Life Engineering.

Key features

  * Overview of Smart Life with a very detailed taxonomy of various
    Smart Life application fields (like Smart Home, Smart Health, Smart
    Industry, etc. detailed in sub-categories).
  * Combination of different aspects related to Smart life:
    technological, methodological, and domain-oriented.
  * Presentation of both scientific and practice-oriented contributions
    to provide a broader view on Smart Life-related applications and
    objects.
  * Many books are available for different sub-topics of Smart Life,
    like Smart City, Smart Home, Smart Energy, etc. None of the existing
    books deals with a scope as large as ours.


Key definitions

  * Smart Artefact: any autonomous and stand-alone artefact provided
    with a data processor when data is obtained, stored, processed, and
    used to trigger actions of the artefact in the environment.
  * Smart Application: a system of connected Smart artefacts, and
    possibly other Smart applications. Thus, it corresponds to a set of
    artefacts with a common goal.
  * Smart Life: a domain that embraces all Smart applications and Smart
    artefacts for the purpose of an enriched experience from the
    personal, societal, environmental, and enterprise perspectives.
    Smart Life can be seen as the societal domain that unifies all in
    initiatives to apply Smart artefacts and applications in any setting.
  * Smart Life Engineering: the use of scientific principles to design,
    build, implement, and evolve Smart Life applications.


Submission guidelines
