Citi-Sen 2012 - First International Workshop on Citizen Sensor Networks

First International Workshop on Citizen Sensor Networks
http://sites.google.com/site/citisen2012
To be held at the Twentieth European Conference on Artificial Intelligence to be held August 27-31, 2012 at Montpellier, France.
PRESENTATION
The meeting of researchers from sensor networks, distributed intelligence and the social, economic or organizational sciences is of crucial importance for the future of citizen sensor networks. The multidisciplinary interactions for this area of research are extensively recognized for its role in cross-fertilization, and it has undoubtedly been an important source of inspiration for the body of knowledge that has been produced in the distributed artificial intelligence. The Citizen Sensor Network workshop is born with the goal of bringing together researchers interested in distributed engineering, with researchers focused on finding efficient solutions to problems where the data acquisition is produced in a decentralized manner, representing complex social systems.
In several areas of research (such areas as economics, management, organizational, telecommunications and social sciences), sensor networks have converged with social systems becoming a innovative area of study, that will allow to the behavioral explanation and prediction of such systems, and allowing the development and construction of better designs and systems.
Topics of interest include everything involving Citizen Sensor Networks. Some examples are the following:
- standards for CSN
- methodologies and simulation languages for CSN.
- simulation platforms and tools for CSN.
- visualization and analytic tools.
- approaches for large-scale CSN.
- scalability and robustness in CSN.
- Multimedia information management in CSN.
- Privacy technologies in CSN.
- Data mining algorithms for CSN.
- Uncertainty and incomplete information management in CSN.
- CSN in environmental modeling.
- CSN in geo-localization tools.
- CSN in web services.
