[Apologies if you receive this more than once] [SCAC Call for Papers] http://static.springer.com/sgw/documents/1608722/application/pdf/scalable+a… ======================================================================= Scalable Computing and Communications Special Issue on Scalable Algorithms and Behavior Analytics in Cyber-Enabled World ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aims and Scope Due to the emerging computing paradigm, the physical, social, and mental world are increasingly integrating and merging into the cyberspace. In this emerging but significant field, it is necessary to model the human individual information processing along with their corresponding behaviors, in order to build systematic knowledge about new phenomena, behaviors, properties and practices across the broad applications in cyber-enabled world. Specifically, studies related to scalable algorithm and behavioral analysis are conducted in terms of the cyber entities, as well as their relations and conjugations in physical, social and mental spaces, which focuses more on the basic attributes, models, functions, and evolutions of cyber entities, and all their possible relations conjugated with real things. For this scientific and systematic study, numerous challenges are raised as: How to establish and improve the foundational theory and methodology for the scalable computing and data processing in the cyber-enabled world? How to find a unified way to study and represent the diversified cyber entities along with their behavior patterns and communications? How to systematically extract, create, and fuse the information, knowledge, and intelligence generated across the physical-social systems for the sustainable utilization? How to deal with the accompanying issues while producing numerous cyber things, such as security, reliability, and etc. Topics may include (but are not limited to): • Scalable Communications in Cyber-world • Data Centric Computing in Cyberspace • Scalable Knowledge Modeling and Management in Cyber-world • User Behavior Analysis and Modeling in Cyber-physical Systems • User Influence Measure and Model in Cyberspace • Cyber-Social Sensing and Behavior Analysis • Scalable Cyber Hybrid Interface/System Design • Scalable Mechanisms for Intelligent Transportation Systems • Cyber-Based Learning Analytics with Scalable Computing • Cyber-Empowered Sentiment Analysis and Mental Computing • Wearable Computing and Smart Sensor • Scalable Computing for Healthcare • Scalability in Cyber Security, Privacy and Reliability • Scalable algorithms for Cyber Visualization • Scalable deep learning architectures • Scalable Brain-inspired Computing and Soft Computing • Scalable Agent-based Computing • Scalable algorithms for the Internet of Things • Scalable algorithms for Edge computing (EC) and Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) • Scalable Services for Pervasive Computing Submissions Authors should prepare their manuscript according to the Guide for Authors of Scalable Computing and Communications available from http://www.springer.com/41122 , and submit online at: https://www.editorialmanager.com/scac . To ensure that the manuscript is correctly identified for inclusion into the special issue, authors must select "Scalable Algorithms and Behavior Analytics in Cyber-Enabled World" when they reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process.

ACDL 2018, Advanced Course on Data Science and Machine Learning An Interdisciplinary Course: Data Science, Machine Learning and Artificial intelligence without Borders ACDL 2018 – A Unique Experience: Data Science & Machine Learning with the World’s Leaders in the fascinating atmosphere of the ancient Certosa di Pontignano Certosa di Pontignano, Siena - Tuscany, Italy July 19-23, 2018 https://acdl2018.icas.xyz/ Early registration deadline: March 31, 2018 https://acdl2018.icas.xyz/registration/ LECTURERS: Roman Belavkin, Middlesex University London, UK Yoshua Bengio, University of Montreal, Canada Sergiy Butenko, Texas A&M University, USA Yi-Ke Guo, Imperial College London, UK Yann LeCun, Director of AI Research, Facebook New York University, USA Peter Norvig, Director of Research, Google Panos Pardalos, University of Florida, USA Alex 'Sandy' Pentland, MIT, USA Mauricio Resende, Amazon, USA More speakers to be announced soon! SCOPE: The Advanced Course is not a summer school suited only for younger scholars. Rather, a significant proportion of seasoned investigators are regularly present among the attendees, often senior faculty at their own institutions. The balanced audience that we strive to maintain in each Advanced Course greatly contributes to the development of intense cross-disciplinary debates among faculty and participants that typically address the most advanced and emerging areas of each topic. Each faculty member presents lectures and discusses with the participants for one entire day. Such long interaction together with the small, exclusive Course size provides the uncommon opportunity to fully explore the expertise of each faculty, often through one-to-one mentoring. This is unparalleled and priceless. The Certosa di Pontignano provides the perfect setting to a relaxed yet intense learning atmosphere, with the stunning backdrop of the Tuscan landscapes. World-class wines and traditional foods will make the Advanced Course on Data Science and Machine Learning the experience of a lifetime. VENUE & ACCOMMODATION: The venue of ACDL 2018 will be The Certosa di Pontignano — Siena The Certosa di Pontigniano Loc. Pontignano, 5 – 53019, Castelnuovo Berardenga (SI) – Tuscany – Italy phone: +39-0577-1521104 fax: +39-0577-1521098 info(a)lacertosadipontignano.com http://www.lacertosadipontignano.com/ A few kilometres from Siena, on a hill dominating the town stands the ancient Certosa di Pontignano, a unique place where nature, history and hospitality blend together in memorable harmony. Built in the 1300, its medieval structure remains intact with additions of the following centuries. The Certosa is centred on its historic cloisters and gardens. https://acdl2018.icas.xyz/venue/ REGISTRATION: https://acdl2018.icas.xyz/registration/ lod(a)icas.xyz https://acdl2018.icas.xyz/
