SCOPE
-----------
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 enriches user experience, better manages
the environment's resources, and increases user awareness of that environment.
The 8th International Conference on Intelligent Environments (IE'12) will be
held at the beautiful and historic World Heritage UNESCO city of Guanajuato
(Mexico) famous for its subterranean streets, ancient churches, the Callejon
del Beso (Alley of the Kiss), and owing its fame and fortune to rich veins of
silver and gold discovered in the 18th century.
This edition continues a series of highly successful conferences that were
organized in Colchester (UK), Athens (Greece), Ulm (Germany), Seattle (USA),
Barcelona (Spain) and Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), and Nottingham (UK) in the past
seven years. The conference provides a multidisciplinary collaborative forum
for researchers and practitioners to present theoretical and practical results
of Intelligent Environments work. This conference program will include
workshops, invited lectures and special sessions of full and posters. Topics of
interest include (but are not limited to):
* Ambient Intelligence
* Urban Intelligence
* Ubiquitous/Pervasive Computing
* Context Awareness
* End-User Programming
* Human-Computer Interaction
* Affective Systems & Wearables
* Virtual & Mixed-Reality
* Middleware & Networking
* Hardware & Software for AmI
* Embedded Computing
* Theoretical Foundations
* Building Architecture
* Arts & Design
* Social Sciences
* Government and Law
* Green & Sustainable Design
* Tele-care and eHealth
* Educational Technology
* Smart Automobiles
* Industrial Automation
* Avionics and Space
* Robotics
* Evaluation Methodologies
Conference Program: The conference provides a multidisciplinary collaborative
forum for researchers and practitioners from disciplines such as 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. Papers
accepted in any of these tracks will also be included in the Conference
Proceedings (see more details in Publications section below). The deadline for

submission. Contact details are offered further down in this document.
Awards: as in previous editions there will be a number of awards to reward
quality and innovation. There will be prizes for Best Full Paper, Best Demo,
Best Video and for the Intelligent Environments Application Challenge.
Workshops Program: 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 the publications section.
Organising an IE12 Workshop: We invite people who would like to submit a
proposal for organising an IE12 workshop to contact the programme chairs
([email protected]) or download a Workshop-Proposal CFP from our website. IE
workshops benefit from the support of the IE organisation and include a profit
share arrangement with the organisers.
Publications: all papers accepted in the main conference will be
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.
Invited Speakers: as in previous editions, IE'12 will invite distinguished
professionals through a number of Keynotes. They will be announced through the
website of the event in the near future.
Special Issues: a number of journal issues will be published encompassing core
areas of the event.
