CFP: The 8th Int. Conf. on Future Internet of Things and Cloud (FiCloud 2020)
by FiCloud Conference 06 Dec '19

06 Dec '19

----------------------Call for Papers ------------------------------------------------ The 8th International Conference on Future Internet of Things and Cloud (FiCloud 2020) 24-26 August 2020, Rome, Itlay http://www.ficloud.org/2020/ Technical co-sponsorship: IEEE-CS TCI --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cloud is a modern computing platform for delivering on-demand computing services to service consumers over the Internet. Computing … [View More]services include, for example, storage, memory, compute power, databases, and networking among others. Cloud services are generally provided using SaaS (Software-as-a-Service), PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) and IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service). Unlike conventional distributed computing, cloud offers flexibility, scalability, efficiency and elasticity in service provisioning. The Internet of Things (IoT) provides a dynamic and global network infrastructure which is characterized by intelligent and self configuring capabilities. IoT is considered as an integral part of the future Internet. It is based on interoperable communication protocols in order to enable the interaction and integration of virtual as well as physical Things such as computers, smart devices, sensors, cars, refrigerators, food packages, medicines, etc. Things can be seamlessly integrated into the information network and interaction can be made through the provision of intelligent interfaces. In not so distant future, IoT will be forcing its way into every aspect of our lives and technologies including smart homes, smart cities, environment and nature, green energy, food, medicine, automotive, aerospace and aviation, telecommunication, and so on. IoT is generally characterized by real world and small Things, limited capacity, constrained devices and the consequential issues such as less reliability, security and privacy. Cloud computing on the other hand deals mainly with virtual world and has unlimited capabilities in terms of storage and processing power. Thus cloud and IoT are the main complementary aspects of the future Internet. IoT can benefit from the unlimited capabilities and resources of cloud computing. Similarly, cloud can benefit from IoT by extending its scope to deal with real world things in a more distributed and dynamic manner. The theme of this conference is to promote the state of the art in scientific and practical research of the IoT and cloud computing. It provides a forum for bringing together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and public sector in an effort to present their research work and share research and development ideas in the area of IoT and cloud computing.

CVML live Web lecture series: Web lecture 'Fast Convolution Algorithms for deep learning and computer vision', 14th December 2019, 11:00 EET
by ioannakoroni＠csd.auth.gr 03 Dec '19

03 Dec '19

Dear Computer vision/machine learning, students, engineers, scientists and enthusiasts, Artificial Intelligence and Information analysis (AIIA) Lab, AUTH is proud to launch the live CVML Web lecture series that will cover very important topics Computer vision/machine learning. Top scientists internationally will deliver these lectures, aiming at providing in-depth knowledge on various CVML topics. The 1-hour lectures will take place on Saturdays, to avoid conflicts with other intended … [View More]registrant schedules/duties: a) Saturdays 11:00 EET (17:00 Beijing time) and b) Saturdays 20:00 EET (13:00 EST, 10:00 PST for NY/LA, respectively) for audience in the Americas. Each lecture will be announced at least 1 week in advance in various relevant email lists and in the www page: http://icarus.csd.auth.gr/cvml-web-lecture-series/ Lectures will consist primarily of live lecture streaming and PPT slides. Attendees (registrants) need no special computer equipment for attending the lecture. They will receive the lecture PDF before each lecture and will have the ability to ask questions real-time. Audience should have basic University-level undergraduate knowledge of any science or engineering department (calculus, probabilities, programming, that are typical e.g., in any ECE, CS, EE undergraduate program). More advanced knowledge (signals and systems, optimization theory, machine learning) is very helpful but nor required. The first web lecture on 'Fast Convolution Algorithms for deep learning and computer vision' by Professor Ioannis Pitas (see attached abstract and CV), will take place on 14th December 2019, 13:00 EET only. Registration can be done using the link: http://icarus.csd.auth.gr/cvml-web-lecture-series/ Fast convolution algorithms for computer vision and machine learning 2D convolutions play an extremely important role in machine learning, as they form the first layers of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). They are also very important for computer vision (template matching through correlation, correlation trackers) and in image processing (image filtering/denoising/restoration). 3D convolutions are very important for machine learning (video analysis through CNNs) and for video filtering/denoising/restoration. 1D convolutions are extensively used in digital signal processing (filtering/denoising) and analysis (also through CNNs) Therefore, 1D/2D/3D convolution algorithms are very important both for machine learning and for signal/image/video processing and analysis. As their computational complexity is of the order O(N^2), O(N^4) and O(N^6) respectively their fast execution is a must. This lecture will overview linear and cyclic convolution. Then it will present their fast execution through FFTs, resulting in algorithms having computational complexity of the order O(Nlog2N), O(N^2log2N) for 1D and 2D convolutions respectively. Finally, optimal Winograd 1D and 2D convolution algorithms will be presented having theoretically minimal number of computations. Emphasis will be on 1D convolution algorithms, as there will be another lecture on 2D convolution algorithms soon. Prof. I. Pitas was lucky to have done his PhD degree on fast convolution algorithms more than 30 years ago. Now this topic re-emerged as key technology for deep learning and computer vision, primarily to address fast CNN training and inference, thanks to advances primarily in GPU programming, but also in multicore CPU programming. Prof. Ioannis Pitas (IEEE fellow, IEEE Distinguished Lecturer, EURASIP fellow) received the Diploma and PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, both from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. Since 1994, he has been a Professor at the Department of Informatics of the same University. He served as a Visiting Professor at several Universities. His current interests are in the areas of image/video processing, machine learning, computer vision, intelligent digital media, human centered interfaces, affective computing, 3D imaging and biomedical imaging. He has published over 1138 papers, contributed in 50 books in his areas of interest and edited or (co-)authored another 11 books. He has also been member of the program committee of many scientific conferences and workshops. In the past he served as Associate Editor or co-Editor of 9 international journals and General or Technical Chair of 4 international conferences. He participated in 70 R&D projects, primarily funded by the European Union and is/was principal investigator/researcher in 42 such projects. He has 30000+ citations to his work and h-index 81+ (Google Scholar). Prof. Pitas leads the big European H2020 R&D project MULTIDRONE: https://multidrone.eu/. He is chair of the Autonomous Systems initiative https://ieeeasi.signalprocessingsociety.org/. Prof. I.
