*** LAST MILE FOR PAPER SUBMISSION ***
2018 European Conference on Ambient Intelligence (AmI 2018)
Golden Bay Beach Hotel, Larnaca, Cyprus, 12-14 November, 2018
http://www.cyprusconferences.org/ami2018
*** Submission Deadline: 7th July 2018 (final) ***
Ambient intelligence refers to normal working and living
environments being surrounded by embedded devices that can merge
unobtrusively and in
natural ways using information and intelligence hidden in the
network
connecting these devices (e.g. The Internet of Things). Such
devices, each
specialised in one or more capabilities, are intended to work
together based
on an infrastructure of intelligent systems, to provide a variety
of services
improving safety, security and the quality of life in ordinary
living, travelling
and working environments.
ABOUT AMI 2018
The 2018 European Conference on Ambient Intelligence (AmI 2018)
has a
focus on the role of Ambient Intelligence
"Towards a Smart and Human Centered Internet of Things".
We invite submissions of full and short papers as well as posters,
presenting
original research. AmI 2018 is an interdisciplinary venue for
leading
international researchers, designers, and practitioners that
present and
discuss new results in Ambient Intelligence.
AmI builds on the success of thirteen predecessor conferences,
which
started in 2003 with the EUSAI-event in Veldhoven, The
Netherlands. More
information about the AmI series can be found here:
http://ami-conferences.org .
The Proceedings of AmI 2018 will be published by Springer in the
Lecture
Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Furthermore, Springer
will sponsor
the Best Paper Award with 1,000 EUR.

PAPER AND POSTER SUBMISSION
Papers must be anonymized to facilitate blind review. Authors are
encouraged to minimize any references that may reveal the identity
of the
authors and their institutions. Relevant references to an author's
previous
research should not be suppressed but instead referenced in a
neutral way.
All papers will be reviewed by at least three Program Committee
members.
The length of each paper including figures and references may not
exceed
16 pages for regular papers and 6 pages for short papers. The
posters
session aims to collect papers showing work in progress and thus
raise
opportunities to present and discuss current work in an informal
setting.
These papers will be presented as posters in the conference.
Poster
contributions may not exceed 2 pages, including figures and
references.
For more information about what should be considered a regular,
short
or poster contribution, please refer to the conference web site.
All paper and poster submissions must be written in English and
submitted
in PDF format. Submission of a paper or poster should be regarded
as an
undertaking that, should the paper or poster be accepted, at least
one of the
authors will attend the conference to present the work.
For preparation of papers and posters please follow the
instructions for
authors available at the Springer LNCS Web page
(
http://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines).
Authors of full and short papers as well as posters are welcome to
submit
using the conference review system:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ami2018 .
This year's best paper awards are graciously sponsored by Springer
with
1,000 EUR.
SPECIAL ISSUE
The authors of the best papers to be accepted at AmI 2018 will be
invited to
submit substantially extended and revised versions of their papers
with at
least 70% new material to a special journal issue for AmI 2018 to
be
published in the Journal of Ambient Intelligence and Humanised
Computing,
by Springer.
