IE 2013 - The 9th International Conference on Intelligent Environments

Intelligent Environments (IE) refer to physical spaces in which IT and other pervasive computing technology are woven and used to achieve specific goals for the user, the environment or both. IE promote the efficiency of transactions and activities, facilitate presence and participation, improve user experience, protect users and enable better or new lifestyles for people. The 9th International Conference on Intelligent Environments (IE'13) will be held at the city of Athens (Greece). IE13 is the ninth edition in a series of highly successful conferences that were previously organized in Colchester (UK), Athens (Greece), Ulm (Germany), Seattle (USA), Barcelona (Spain), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Nottingham (UK), and Leon (Mexico).
Conference Program: The conference provides a multidisciplinary collaborative forum for researchers and practitioners from Computer Science, Electronic Engineering, Building Architecture Art & Design, Sociology, Government and Education to present theoretical and practical results of Intelligent Environments. Authors are invited to submit regular full papers as well as contributions to the Doctoral Colloquium, Posters Session or Demos & Videos Session.
Workshops Program: as in previous editions, a number of workshops will complement the main conference program. Papers accepted in any of the workshops sponsored by this conference will be included in one Proceedings volume that will collect the contributions in all workshops, see more details in Publications section.
Publications: all papers accepted in the main conference will be published by the IEEE and electronically available through IEEE Explore. All papers accepted in the Workshops program will be published as a volume of the Ambient Intelligence and Smart Environments Series (ISI indexed) of IOS Press and electronically available through ACM Digital Library.
Special Issues: a number of journal issues will be published encompassing core areas of the event.
Awards: There will be a number of awards for Best Full Paper, Best Demo, Best Video and for the Intelligent Environments Application Challenge.
