23 Feb '23

日本データベース学会の皆さま　早稲田大学の酒井と申します。情報検索国際会議のトップカンファレンスSIGIRの Asia-Pacific版、SIGIR-AP (Asia-Pacific) が立ち上がります。記念すべき第一回は今年11月に北京でハイブリッド開催されます。 SIGIRで不採録となった論文も復活できるチャンスがあります。詳しくは下記CFPとホームページをご覧ください。（一部under constructionです。。。）ご投稿をお待ちしております。 SIGIR-AP 2023 First Call For Papers Details: http://www.sigir-ap.org/sigir-ap-2023/call-for-papers/ SIGIR-AP (Asia/Pacific) is a new regional IR conference whose scope is the same as that of SIGIR. It will be hybrid, so authors of accepted papers can either present their work in-person or remotely. The conference adopts double-blind, single-track reviewing, and allows submissions of papers that are commensurate with contribution size. There are two types of SIGIR-AP submissions: Regular submissions and SIGIR-Revise-and-Resubmit submissions. Regular submissions: These are new, original contributions that have not been submitted elsewhere before. We also welcome Resource papers and Reproducibility papers. Resources papers consider test collections and labelled datasets, designs and protocols of evaluation tasks, and software tools and services for information access. Reproducibility papers repeat, reproduce, generalize, and reexamine prior work, for example analysing to what extent assumptions of the original work are valid, or identify error modes and unexpected conclusions; typically these papers involve a new team and a new experimental setup, that is, they go beyond replication. Page length: (A) Paper body + (B) references. (A) Paper body length should be 2-9 pages, and be commensurate with contribution size. (B) No page limit for the references section. SIGIR-Revise-and-Resubmit (SIGIR-RR) submissions: These are revised versions of either full or short papers that were not accepted at the immediately preceding SIGIR conference. (This option is not available for other SIGIR paper tracks, e.g., perspectives, resource, or reproducibility.) In addition to the revised paper, the authors must include in the submission file a text explaining the revision based on the SIGIR reviews, as well as the original SIGIR submission. Page length: (A) Paper body + (B) references + (C) explanation (with SIGIR paper ID) + (D) SIGIR submission (A) Paper body length should be 2-9 pages, and be commensurate with contribution size. (B) No page limit for the references section. (C) Explanation (1-3 pages, no style requirements): a SIGIR paper ID, plus a text that explain how the authors addressed the points raised by the SIGIR reviewers after the SIGIR rejection. (D) SIGIR submission: please include the original anonymised SIGIR submission as is in the SIGIR-AP submission. IMPORTANT DATES (Timezone: Anywhere on Earth) June 26, 2023 Abstract submissions due July 3, 2023 Paper submissions due September 10, 2023 Paper decision notifications September 26, 2023 Camera ready papers due November 26-29, 2023 SIGIR-AP conference (tutorial2 + 2-day conference + workshops) PROGRAM CHAIRS Xuanjing Huang, Fudan University, P.

Conference on Smart Computing (SMARTCOMP 2023) The global environmental emergency, due to the fast climate changes, is heavily impacting on human activities and life. Agriculture, as one of the main human activities, is directly involved in meeting the needs of the growing population. It is responsible of around the 70% of total water consumption and has heavy effects on the environment and on the land use, increasing the pollution of natural resources (air, water, soil). Recently, agriculture was addressed by a technology evolution where the new paradigm of Smart Agriculture guided the introduction of technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT), wireless sensor networks, wireless communications, remote monitoring to sustain and make more efficient the agriculture production. The global environmental emergency solicits a further evolution of Smart Agriculture to provide scientific and technological solutions suitable to make agriculture more resilient to climate changes and to better address the issues related to the protection of natural resources and to the increased need of food. In this context, Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) is where smart and precise agriculture can converge to provide scientific and technological solutions in support of the planet, human life, and agricultural production, with a continuous attention to the environmental emergency. Climate-Smart Agriculture can guide the evolution of agriculture, make the intensive production more efficient and cope with the growth of a starving population, especially in the most populated and environmentally stressed areas and where natural resources (soil, water and biodiversity) are drastically jeopardized. Smart Agriculture, treasuring the technology evolution in the field of Pervasive Computing, IoT, Artificial Intelligence, embedded systems etc. and the new perspective introduced by CSA can answer the aforementioned needs, improving the productivity and the environmental sustainability and preserving natural resources. It can drive the evolution of the agriculture and reorienting the focus on the Three Pillars of CSA as stated by the FAO: - sustainably increasing agricultural productivity and incomes, - adapting and building resilience to climate change, - reducing and/or removing greenhouse gas emissions, where possible. These pillars outline the direction of action regarding the FAO Strategic Framework 2022-2031 based on the Four Betters: better production, better nutrition, a better environment and a better life for all, leaving no one behind. The 2nd International Workshop on Smart Agriculture for the environmental emergency (SmartAgr) investigates the design, implementation, and assessment of innovative technological solutions, including new paradigms, methods, systems, and tools to ensure the implementation of Smart Agriculture to face off the environmental emergency. SmartAgr is an interdisciplinary, multi-national initiative to gather electrical and telecommunication engineers, computer scientists, agronomists, biotechnologists to present new pervasive computing and embedded systems, communication and networking solutions and devices to meet the aforementioned challenges. The workshop invites and calls for participation both representatives of academia and industry across the world interested in discussing on the last evolution of Smart Agriculture with a focus on the environmental emergency. From this point of view the workshop can provide a place where to profitably exchange ideas, present applications and solutions taking advantage from the heterogeneity of the contributors to encourage the cross-fertilization of ideas and competencies.

Understanding the societal and economic impact and human-centered aspects of a smart system or technology in advance and designing the system a priori with potential value-added services help spur the discoveries of new tools, methodologies and innovative services. Smart service systems span across a variety of socio-technical facets comprising of devices, people, organizations, environments and technologies to sense, actuate, control and assess the physical, cyber and societal artifacts of the human service systems. Besides the systems being self-adaptive and fault-tolerant, need to be designed in such a way that it can continuously increase the quality and productivity, the compliance and sustainability of the smart services it offers. While human-centered perspective and cognitive learning help create multi-facet value added services and catalyze the sustained economic growth of smart service systems, understanding the multi-modal sensing, control, heterogeneity and interdependency between different physical, virtual and logical components of such a complex system will enable the realization of new transformative smarter service systems. If successful, this can help improve the quality-of-experience of the customers, quality-of-life of the citizens and quality-of returns of the stakeholders and investors. Nurturing the development of smart service systems seeks for inter- and trans-disciplinary crosscutting research threads from system and operational engineering, computer science and information systems, social and behavioral science, computational modeling and industrial engineering etc. The goal of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the fundamental knowledge and principles of smart service systems that enable the value co-creation in sensing, actuating, data analytics, learning, cognition, and control of human centric cyber-physical-social systems and future of work. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Innovative tools, methodologies and solutions for smart service systems; example includes personalized healthcare, smart energy, smart cities, smart manufacturing, intelligent transportation, education, precision medicine and agriculture, national security etc. - Information extraction and interpretation from sensors, actuators, smart phones, wearable devices (e.g., smart watches), and humans - Context and situational awareness of smart service systems. - Design of people-centric services and technologies for providing better services such as food, transportation and places to live. - Novel architectures and interoperable solutions for Internet of Things. - Models and methodologies for designing systems of systems. - Big data analytics approaches for providing better customer services, and innovating new types of sustainable services. - Modeling, analysis, co-production, and co-evolution of human activity, behavior and interaction for the effective adaptation and percolation of longitudinal smart service systems. - Role of machine learning, artificial intelligence, robotics, pervasive computing, blockchain, control theory, information and communications technologies. - Role of formal methods in computer networks, cyber-physical systems, Internet-of-Things and machine learning. - Design and developments of intelligent systems, intelligent enterprises and cyber-physical-social-systems. - Design of inter-dependent complex global systems such as healthcare, smart grid, computer networks, logistics and supply-chains, financial markets etc. - Smart infrastructure and testbed to support the integration of autonomous systems and innovative applications. - Design and implementation of analytical methods, simulation software and experimental testbeds to evaluate the key performance indicators of smart services. - Design of approaches for trustworthiness of human-centered smart systems and algorithms.

Cities can be viewed as a microcosm of “objects” with which citizens interact daily: street furniture, public buildings, transportation, monuments, public lighting and much more. Moreover, a continuous monitoring of a city’s status occurs through sensors and processors applied within the real-world infrastructure. The Internet of Things (IoT) concept imagines all these objects being “smart”, connected to the Internet, and able to communicate with each other and with the external environment, interacting and sharing data and information. Each object in the IoT can be both the collector and distributor of information regarding mobility, energy consumption, air pollution as well as potentially offering cultural and tourist information. As a consequence, cyber and real worlds are strongly linked in a smart city. New services can be deployed when needed and evaluation mechanisms will be set up to assess the health and success of a smart city. The aim of this workshop is to bring together innovative developments in areas related to sensors and smart cities, including but not limited to: computing and sensing infrastructures cost (of node, energy, development, deployment, maintenance) communication (security, resilience, low energy) adaptability (to environment, energy, faults) data processing (on nodes, distributed, aggregation, discovery, big data) self-learning (pattern discovery, prediction, auto-configuration) deployment (cost, error prevention, localization) maintenance (troubleshooting, recurrent costs) applications (both new and enjoying new life) smart users experience trust and privacy crowdsourcing, crowdsensing, participatory sensing cognition and awareness cyber-physical systems smart tourism Both review articles and original research papers relating to sensors and smart cities are solicited. There is particular interest for papers with advances towards practical experiences and services overcoming the adoption barriers for sensors and smart cities. Submission Guidelines Paper submissions should be no longer than 6 pages with a font size of 10 using the IEEE conference template (https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html) Papers must be submitted electronically as PDF files. All submitted papers will be subject to single blind peer reviews by Technical Program Committee members and other experts in the field. All presented papers in the conference will be published in the proceedings of the conference and submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Authors are requested to first register their submissions and submit their manuscripts in PDF format via EDAS. Note that at least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop to present the paper. Failure to present the paper at the workshop will result in the withdrawal of the paper from the Proceedings.
