Goals of the workshop
The workshop on IT in Olympics (ITiO) aims to highlight IT/IS innovations in Olympic games and discuss the challenges in developing and deploying high performance, complex IT systems that the game demands. It will also focus on how the new technologies and applications first trialed in Olympics and other major sports events that have been -- or intended to be -- widely deployed for several other applications benefiting the society and the business.
Scope of the workshop
IT companies and nations often introduce revolutionary new information and communication technology to the world at the Olympics , the World Cup and Tennis tournaments. The innovative applications that harness the promises of innovative technologies such as the Internet of Things, wearables, cloud computing, smart hand-held devices, high-resolutions video transmission technologies, and data analytics not only transform how these games are conducted but also how we experience them.
Practitioners, researchers and managers as well be companies that have deployed or are deploying IT systems for Olympics will have the opportunity to discuss state of the art solutions, major issues and challenges, recent innovation, and design and development considerations, as well as areas that demand further research and development. The workshop will be comprised of solicited presentations from practitioners, IT companies that were/are involved with deploying IT systems for the Olympics, academics and researchers ; a panel discussion, and demos/videos presentations.
The Workshop Proceedings (papers/presentations resources) will be made available via IEEE Xplore.
This workshop assumes additional significance in the context of the upcoming 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.
