1st International Workshop "EVENTS 2010 - Recognising and tracking events on the Web and in real life"

hosted by the The 6th Hellenic Conference on Artificial Intelligence (SETN 2010), Athens, Greece on May 4, 2010

 Description - Scope

Users and organizations collect data in various structured and unstructured digital formats, but they cannot fully utilize these data to support content and resource management process. It is evident that the analysis and interpretation of the available data needs to be automated, in order for large data volumes to be transformed into operational knowledge. Events are particularly important pieces of knowledge, as they represent activities of special significance both for users and organisations. Therefore, the recognition of events is of outmost importance. Consider, for example, automatic event (e.g. emergencies) and trend detection by analysing users contributions to social Web 2.0 applications, the recognition of attacks on nodes of a computer network given the exchanged TCP/IP messages, the recognition of suspicious trader behaviour given the transactions in a financial market, and the recognition of various types of cardiac arrhythmia given electrocardiographs. We welcome papers focusing on various aspects of event recognition, including analysis of video, audio, text and other sensor data, as well as recognition on fused data sources and temporal reasoning systems. While the workshop places emphasis on theoretical contributions, we also welcome papers describing interesting applications.

The deadline for paper submissions for EVENTS 2010 has been extended to Fri March 19th.

Topics

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Representation languages for event recognition
  • Algorithms for real-time event recognition
  • Probabilistic reasoning for event recognition
  • Machine learning for event recognition
  • Event-driven architectures
  • Benchmarks, performance evaluations, and testbeds
  • Domain-specific deployments of event-based systems
  • Multimedia and social content analysis for event detection
  • Clustering, concept detection and multi-modal/fusion techniques
  • Retrieval of events
  • User interaction and interfaces for events navigation, browsing and management

    • Workshop format

    Accepted papers will be presented at the workshop. Additionally, some submissions may be accepted as posters. The workshop program will include presentations from two invited speakers.
