Background

Ubiquitous sensors, devices, networks and information are paving the way towards a smart world in which computational intelligence is distributed throughout the physical environment to provide reliable and relevant services to people. The smart world, starting with smart things such as the smart objects, smart city, smart manufacture and smart systems, will eventually encompass all aspects of the physical world, social world and mental world. The smart world is set to be the next important stage in human history. We have to be aware of the essential problems and crucial issues affecting in building truly smart worlds that benefit humanity, and simultaneously safeguard the natural environment for sustainable development and evolution.

Objective

Task Force on Smart World (TF-SW) will be an ideal platform to gather scientists, researchers and engineers who share common interests on smart related computing technologies and applications. The objectives are three folds: (1) to promote research on wide scope of smart world; (2) to organize a series of activities for research discussion and exchange; (3) to contribute IEEE CIS with attracting more people and extending research in the emerging area under supervision and support by ETTC.

Scope

The smart world is to enhance everyday things with intelligence so that many tasks and processes could be simplified, the physical spaces where people interact like the workplaces and homes, could become more efficient, safer and more enjoyable. It consists of numerous "smart things" that can be endowed with different levels of intelligence, and may be context-aware, active, interactive, reactive, proactive, assistive, adaptive, automated, sentient, perceptual, cognitive, autonomic and/or thinking. Research on smart world is an emerging research field covering many areas. A series of challenge issues exist to move from the current level of computing services to the smart world of adaptive and intelligent services. The Task Force on Smart World is to promote research covering science, technologies, applications and related categories on smart world, and provides a high-profile, leading-edge platform for researchers and engineers to collaboratively explore the state-of-art advances and innovations on smart world. The scope of this task force covers mainly four aspects:

  • Smart Objects and Interactions

    Smart chips, tags, sensors, devices, wearables, goods, appliances, materials, textiles, etc.

    Smart software, OS, programming, tools, interfaces, power/energy, reliability, etc.

  • Smart Systems and Services

    Smart sensor networks, personal/body networks and systems, programming models, etc.

    Smart services, context-aware systems, smart clouds, smart big data processing, etc.

  • Smart Environments and Applications

    Smart home, office, building, shop, campus, factory, farm, city, urban computing, etc.

    Smart healthcare, transportation, energy consumption, environment protection, etc.

  • Personalization and Social Aspects

    Mobile social computing, crowd sensing, human modeling and mining, etc.

    Smart Robots and robots social intelligence

    Personalized recommendations, security, privacy, safety, affect and legal issues
