EAI-SC 2018 - Special Issue on "Embedded Artificial Intelligence and Smart Computing" (EAI-SC)

With recent breakthroughs at multiple fronts in Machine Learning/Deep Learning, Artificial Intelligence (AI) have become the center of attention, not only in the IT circles but also in mainstream media. AI is traditionally dependent on high computation power provided by server farms either in the cloud or on-premise for large-scale, data-intensive model training and inference. While model training requires big data and cloud computing, it is often possible and desirable to implement model inference and online learning on resource-constrained edge devices, such as smart phones and in-vehicle platforms, to avoid the potential latencies and service disruptions due to cloud access. There has been significant recent research progress in embedded software/hardware techniques for AI, ranging from processing elements such as CPU, GPU, FPGA, ASIC, to subsystems of memory hierarchy, storage, and networking. This special issue focuses on the emerging intersection between AI/ML and embedded systems. The following is a non-exhaustive list of topics considered for this special issue:
AI in mobile embedded systems and robotics
Hardware accelerators for AI algorithms
Intelligent sensors and robotic systems
AI in mobile computing and wireless sensor networks
Heterogeneous memory systems design for AI
Online learning and in-memory data analytics
Intelligent vehicular networking
AI for security and privacy
AI for tele-health, medicine, and games
AI for smart data storage
AI for networking configuration and governance
AI for software defined networking
