SITIS 2022 - The 16th International Conference on Signal Image Technology & Internet based Systems
19-21 October 2022 - Dijon, France

*Scope*

Advances in sensing and computing are currently impacting several sectors ranging from healthcare to cultural heritage, from smart cities to Industry 4.0. Information collected by sensors is propagated through internet-based systems and processed through the network's nodes. Mobile, edge and fog computing approaches have pushed advanced "smart" processing to the far edges of the network, while AI as a Service (AIaaS) paradigms abstract and virtualise intelligent services for deployment on the cloud. Multimedia information, including images, video streams, acoustic data and temporal series, are a relevant part of the data to be processed, analysed and understood for fully taking advantage of sensing resources.

This workshop aims to shorten the gap between edge-based and cloud-based approaches for multimedia understanding by addressing the challenges and opportunities of the combined approach. Relevance will be given to transversal issues, such as those related to the privacy and security of such hybrid strategies, as well as to the quest for optimal and greener configuration of AI services towards sustainable and ethical use of computing resources. The co-existence of intelligent services distributed in a computational continuum made of heterogeneous nodes opens the possibilities of performing learning, including reinforcement learning, in such scenarios while coping with possible data shortages or faults of some nodes.

Contributions addressing the above issues from a theoretical or simulation perspective are sought, while demonstrations in applicative scenarios will also be welcome.
