SITIS 2016 – The 12th International Conference on Signal Image Technology & Internet Systems
EU-GCC 2016
First EU-GCC workshop on computational modelling of complex energy- and environment-related systems
Collocated with:
SITIS 2016 - The 12th International Conference on SIGNAL IMAGE TECHNOLOGY & INTERNET BASED SYSTEMS
November 28 - December 1, 2016 - Naples, Italy
Scope of the Workshop
Preparing for the post-oil era, GCC and EU countries are now developing advanced infrastructures to manage environment and energy challenges. Indeed, managing energy, water and waste efficiently requires computational modelling of complex phenomena like the green house effect, coastal algal blooming, water recharge and water decontamination.Applying computational models to the analysis and control of real systems requires best practices for handling large-scale sensor and metering data flows to ensure collected data timeliness, trustworthiness and integrity. Also, human impact needs to be represented and taken into account. In the European Union, these research questions are being addressed by specific calls for proposals within the H2020 framework program. In the GCC area, they are targeted by national and regional research strategies.
The first EU-GCC workshop on computational modelling of cyber-physical energy and environment complex systems aims at presenting new research on modelling, model-based analysis and control of complex cyber-physical systems carried out in the EU and in the GCC area. It will provide a unique forum for facilitating interactions and planning common initiatives between EU and GCC researchers.
Topics of interest for the workshop, include (but are not limited to) aspects of:
- Models and tools for environment and energy applications
- Models for complex social systems
- Model-based prediction and control
- Cyber security for information systems
- Complex system representation and display
- Collaborative data collection and processing techniques
- Agent-based modeling of community behavior
