C A L L F O R P A P E R S The 2nd IEEE Intl. Workshop on ALgorithms for Indoor Architectures and Systems (ALIAS 2022), collocated with the 23rd IEEE Intl. Conference on Mobile Data Management (MDM 2022) June 6, 2022, Paphos, Cyprus https://alias22.cs.ucy.ac.cy/ AIMS & TOPICS OF INTEREST: Indoor Information Systems (IIS) have witnessed significant growth over the past decade, driven by the fact that 90% of our activities are carried out in indoor spaces. As a result, new research paradigms in constituent technologies have emerged, ranging from data-driven localization algorithms, to data privacy handling schemes, and indoor data management operators. Towards this direction, successful launching of popular applications relied on stored indoor spatial models fusing sensor information, exploiting sensor prevalence in smartphone devices and wireless connectivity pervasiveness, in light of the big data era and accompanying technologies. This workshop aims to discuss current trends and highlight future directions on both established and potentially transforming Algorithms for Indoor Architectures and Systems. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Indoor positioning using different technologies (e.g., Cellular 3G/4G/5G and beyond, Wi-Fi, UWB, RFID, Magnetic, Pedestrian Dead-Reckoning, Vision, Hybrid, etc.) * Contact tracing and social distancing for pandemics * 2D and 3D operators for localization and analytics * Modeling and representation of indoor spaces * Indoor GIS integration efforts (IndoorOSM, IndoorGML) * Storage, processing and indexing operators for indoor data * Collaborative positioning and crowdsourcing * Indoor analytics and indoor decision support systems * Visual analytics of indoor data * Big-data processing of indoor data * Privacy issues with indoor technologies * Human mobility data acquisition, handling, and analysis in indoor spaces * Data quality and uncertainty issues study on indoor mobility data * Discovery of indoor mobility patterns * Theoretic and/or empirical indoor modelling issues * Semantic knowledge harvesting and ontologies for indoor data * Recommender Systems for indoor data (e.g., POIs, services) * Real-time analysis of data generated in indoor spaces (audio, video, text) * Social behaviour analysis on indoor mobility data * Machine learning on indoor data * Security and Privacy in indoor mobile systems * Robotics and Drones for logistics operations in indoor spaces * Indoor Case Studies (e.g., Healthcare, Airports, Campuses) * Interactive media technologies to indoor (Augmented/Virtual/Mixed Reality) * Offline and Hybrid Online/Offline Navigation and Context Awareness * Map-matching Algorithms and Systems * Out-of-the-box application domains for indoor (blockchain, AI, IoT) The workshop will be organized in a manner that fosters interaction and exchange of ideas among the participants. Besides regular papers, we will also consider vision, retrospective and work-in-progress papers that have the potential to stimulate debate on existing solutions or open challenges. We additionally plan to accept a limited number of demonstration papers where researchers and technologists will have the opportunity to describe an innovative system or tool in the area of data management for mobile and wireless access. We discourage the submission of incremental papers. IMPORTANT DATES Paper/Demo/Vision Submission (extended): Wed., April 6, 2022 (midnight AoE) Notification of Acceptance: Mon., April 18, 2022 Camera-ready Version Due: Fri., May 5, 2022 (midnight AoE) Workshop Date: Mon., June 6, 2022 SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS Manuscripts in the following categories will be considered for publication in the 2nd IEEE Intl. Workshop on ALgorithms for Indoor Architectures and Systems: * Regular papers (max. 6 pages): The submission should describe significant theoretical and/or experimental contributions to the topics of the workshop. * Demo OR Vision papers (max. 3 pages): The submission should either describe some vision in the scope of the workshop or the architecture, implementation and usage of innovative tools or systems that fit the context of the workshop. The presentation of demo or vision papers will be conducted in a designated session during the workshop (in the form of short presentations). All of the submissions should be in PDF format and conform to the IEEE MDM'22 proceedings format. Submitted papers must not have been published or currently be under consideration for publication at another venue. All of the submissions will be handled electronically. Each paper will be reviewed by several members of the program committee. Detailed submission information will be posted on the website of the workshop. The workshop proceedings will be published in the IEEE MDM proceedings (volume 2) by the IEEE Computer Society and electronic versions of the papers will be included in the IEEE Xplore and DBLP. *** Submission URL *** https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/ALIAS2022/ WORKSHOP CHAIRS * Christos Laoudias KIOS Research and Innovation Center of Excellence University of Cyprus, Cyprus laoudias[AT]ucy.ac.cy https://www.kios.ucy.ac.cy/laoudias/ * Manon Kok Delft Center for Systems and Control Delft University of Technology, Netherlands m.kok-1[AT]tudelft.nl http://www.tudelft.nl/staff/m.kok-1 * Sunwoo Kim Department of Electronic Engineering Hanyang University, Republic of Korea remero[AT]hanyang.ac.kr https://remero6.wixsite.com/wslhanyang/about-us-1 PUBLICITY CHAIR * Marios Raspopoulos Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering University of Central Lancashire Cyprus, Cyprus MRaspopoulos[AT]uclan.ac.uk https://www.uclancyprus.ac.cy/academic/dr-marios-raspopoulos/ STEERING COMMITTEE * Demetrios Zeinalipour-Yazti Department of Computer Science University of Cyprus, Cyprus dzeina[AT]cs.ucy.ac.cy https://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~dzeina/ * Nacim Ramdani PRISME Laboratory University of Orleans, France nacim.ramdani[AT]univ-orleans.fr https://agora.bourges.univ-orleans.fr/ramdani/ * Dong-Soo Han Department of Computer Science Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Korea dshan[AT]kaist.ac.kr https://sites.google.com/site/profdshan/ TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE * Adriano Moreira, University of Minho, Portugal * Andreas Konstantinidis, Frederick University, Cyprus * Antonio Perez Navarro, Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, Spain * Aris Lalos, Industrial Systems Institute, Athena Research Center, Greece * Christophe Claramunt, Naval Academy Research Institute, France * Eftychios Christoforou, University of Cyprus, Cyprus * Federica Pascucci, Universita degli Studi Roma Tre, Italy * Gentian Jakllari, University of Toulouse, France * Grigorios Anagnostopoulos, HES-SO, Switzerland * Hua Lu, Aalborg University, Denmark * Huan Li, Zhejiang University, China * Joaquin Torres Sospedra, Jaume I University, Spain * Kai-Florian Richter, Umea University, Sweden * Konstantinos Votis, CERTH/ITI, Greece * Kourosh Khoshelham, University of Melbourne, Australia * Marios Raspopoulos, University of Central Lancashire, Cyprus Campus, Cyprus * Nacim Ramdani, University of Orleans, France * Paolo Barsocchi, CNR-ISTI, Italy * Sergio Ilarri, University of Zaragoza, Spain * Sisi Zlatanova, University of New South Wales, Australia * Luca De Nardis, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy * Paschalis Mpeis, University of Cyprus, Cyprus * Ran Guan, Reimann Lab, Huawei, China * Savvas Papaioannou, University of Cyprus * Klaus Witrisal, Graz University of Technology, Austria * Dragan Stojanovic, University of Nis, Serbia * Eleftheria Vellidou, National Technical University of Athens, Greece * Gabriele Oliva, University Campus Bio-Medico of Rome, Italy * Markus Schneider, University of Florida, USA * Joaquin Huerta, Universitat Jaume I, Spain WEBMASTER * Soteris Constantinou, University of Cyprus, Cyprus ORGANIZERS Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) https://www.kaist.ac.kr/html/en/ University of Cyprus https://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/ University of Orleans https://www.univ-orleans.fr/ SUPPORT RESPECT - Secure and Privacy-preserving Indoor Robotics for Healthcare Environments https://www.project-respect.eu/ ANYPLACE - A free and open Indoor Navigation Service with superb accuracy! https://anyplace.cs.ucy.ac.cy/ KIOS Research and Innovation Center of Excellence University of Cyprus, Cyprus https://www.kios.ucy.ac.cy/ CONTACT For further information please contact us at: alias22workshop[AT]gmail.com
