Workshop Objectives

Workshop Goals: Mobility is a need and a right of individuals, therefore transport activity directly affects the quality of life of citizens. Transport services, such as guidance systems, payment systems, security system for transit infrastructures, or information systems for travelers, have been enhanced using the new technologies of information and communications, especially by digital networks, mobile technology and sensor technologies. Using sensing capabilities (e.g. geo-referencing, on-board event detection or capture of audio/video), mobile communications infrastructures and distributed information processing, it is possible to develop ambient intelligence in transit areas (vehicles, stations, bus stops, etc) to provide information services adapted to the necessities or preferences of the travelers (guidance services for private or public transport, intelligent payment systems) or to provide information for improving the quality, security and safety of the transport services (time table fulfillment, vehicle velocity, transit travelers in different points of the transport network, traffic density, pollution level in metropolitan areas). Thus, transport activity becomes more attractive for citizens and improves their quality of life. This workshop provides a discussion space, in which researchers, students, technology experts and practitioners can contribute to the design, assessment, development, and deployment of ambient intelligent solutions applied to the transport domain. The workshop will act as a forum to validate recent results and on-going research, particularly addressed by young researchers.

Paper Submission

We invite researchers to submit high quality contributions describing significant, original and unpublished results in the following categories:

Long papers: Intended to allow presentation of academic research results of high quality. Submissions must contain an original contribution and may not have already been published in another forum, nor be subject to review for other conferences or publications. Contributions should include unpublished results of research, case studies or experiences that provide new evidence about the research or application regarding to the main topics. Articles accepted in this category will be published in the proceedings of the event. Long papers must not exceed 12 pages (including figures and appendices).

Short papers:Intended to allow presentation of ongoing studies with partial (however, significant) results. Submissions must contain an original contribution and may not have already been published in another forum, nor be subject to review for other conferences or publications. Articles accepted in this category will be published in the proceedings of the event. Short papers must not exceed 6 pages (including figures and appendices).

All papers should be written in English.

Submission Procedure

All submissions should be made by EasyChair platform and must follow the LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) Formatting Guidelines. Please ensure that your papers are formatted correctly and are within the specified page limits. Author information and templates are available in Information for LNCS Authors web, or downloading the templates here for Latex and Word.

At least one of the authors of an accepted paper has to be registered and attend the workshop for presentation of the work such that the paper can appear in the UCAmI - IWAAL - AmIHEALTH post-proceedings volume, which will be published by Springer in its LNCS series.
