These meetings are referred to as ‘Birds of a Feather’, because they, well, flock together. While these meetings are not formally organised by the Conference Committee, we encourage AoIR members to post ideas on potential areas of interest, research, and projects to the AoIR mailing-list to seek interest from other members and conference attendees. Ideally, areas of interest will flock organically and in an inclusive manner, so please don’t be afraid to nominate your idea (and yourself!) for one of these sessions. The conference program this year leaves your time free on the Thursday evening, and if you opt out of our expertly crafted social outings, you might also consider flocking together on Friday evening. We think the best way to gather is in a social setting in one of the amazing spaces located around Brisbane’s city centre. Below is a list of places we think suit the Birds of a Feather concept very well, but please do get in touch if you require specific kinds of locations and/or resources. And if you’re gathering together as a large group, do make sure to book a table or room at your venue ahead of time, to make sure there’s enough space. On Brisbane’s South Bank, just across the river from QUT, you’ll find bars and cafes around Stanley St Plaza: https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eatso…, and more cafes and restaurants on Little Stanley St: https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eatso… At Howard Smith Wharves, under the Story Bridge, various new pubs, bars, and restaurants have opened recently: https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhowardsmi… In Fish Lane, South Brisbane, there are various quirky bars and restaurants: https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fexplorefi… On behalf of the Local Organising Committee, we wish you all the best with organising the next iteration of engaging discussions and thought provocations!

Slight amendment for those unfamiliar with parkrun: you only need to register and bring your barcode if you want to get an official time. If you don't want an official time, that's fine, but try to steer clear of the finish line when you get to the end of the run.

Re: [Air-L] Help in syllabus about New Media and Collective Intelligence
by mgoyam＠yahoo.com 17 Sep '19

Dear Fen, Valeria, David, and Samantha, Thank you very much for your suggestions, I will check them out right away What I try to show my students is the possibilities and some actual cases of collective intelligence (for this I also use Jenkin's Convergence Culture, paired with Tapscott's Wikinomics and the open source movement) and contrasting this with cases in which the collective action does not result in something intelligent -as David said-, for this I touch on experiments in which the crowd of the wisdom fails such as Lorenz et al. How social influence can undermine the wisdom of crowd effect, along with Terranova's Free Labor, and Lunenfeld's The secret war between uploading and downloading. Then, for alternative ideas about collective intelligence, we read the classic science fiction story First Men from Howard Fast. I am sure your suggestions will enrich my course and my understanding of the subject, thanks!!!!

Elsevier Computer Networks - Special Issue on 5G-Enabled Internet of Things, Applications and Services
by Eirini Eleni Tsiropoulou 17 Sep '19

17 Sep '19

[Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] * Call for Papers * Special Issue on 5G-Enabled Internet of Things, Applications and Services Elsevier Computer Networks https://www.journals.elsevier.com/computer-networks/call-for-papers/special… The Internet of Things (IoT) is shaping the evolution of the future Internet. According to the vision underlying the IoT, the next step in increasing the ubiquity of the Internet, after connecting people anytime and everywhere, is to connect inanimate objects. By providing objects with embedded communication capabilities and a common addressing scheme, a highly distributed, ubiquitous and dense network of seamlessly connected heterogeneous devices is formed, which can be fully integrated into the current Internet and mobile networks, thus allowing for the development of new intelligent applications and services available anytime, anywhere, by anyone and anything. Many applications with high social and business impact fall under the IoT umbrella. Many application areas are emerging such as public safety, smart city environments, personal healthcare, smart grid, surveillance, building automation, intelligent transportation, smart vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles systems, smart agriculture and aquaculture, as well as tactile Internet applications. Nevertheless, it is expected that new areas will emerge once the enabling technologies reach a stable state. In this context, the upcoming 5G wireless network technology promises to be responsive, fast and power efficient. The combination of speed, responsiveness and reach of 5G will provide both opportunities and challenges for new IoT applications and services, relying on software defined networks within virtualized environments with the aim to provide optimal performance targets regarding latency, bandwidth, resilience and energy consumption. The goal of this special issue is to bring together state-of-the-art research contributions that describe original and unpublished work addressing IoT applications and services within the 5G context. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: - Architectures, protocols and algorithms for an efficient interconnection of smart objects, both between themselves and with the Internet within the 5G context. - Resource description, provisioning, scheduling, allocation and orchestration for IoT-enabled infrastructures, including the use of reinforcement learning approaches to address the dynamicity, stochasticity and uncertainty of emerging environments and applications. - Real life modeling approaches regarding applications, objects' and users' interdependencies and decision making, including application workload profiling, user behavior modeling, utility maximization, QoS satisfaction. - The creation of value-added services in cross-domain applications, especially open and interoperable, enabled by the interconnection of things / machines / smart objects, in such a way that they can be integrated with current and new business and development processes. - The support of a virtualized IoT, --based on the concepts of virtualized components and functions within dense and heterogeneous environments, as expected for the massive growth of IoT 5G services and applications. - Security, privacy and trust for IoT applications and services, for ensuring that the provided services will protect the users' data, provide guarantees that no malicious users/devices will affect the system decisions and that the IoT applications will be secure and privacy-preserving "by design". * Important Dates * Paper Submission Due: 30 September 2019 First Round Notification: 15 December 2019 Revised Paper Submission: 15 January, 2020 Final author notification: 15 March, 2020 Tentative Publication Date: 2nd quarter, 2020 * Submission guidelines * All received submissions will be sent out for peer review by three experts in the field and be evaluated with respect to the relevance to this special issue, level of innovation, depth of contribution, and quality of presentation. The Guest Editors will make an initial determination of the suitability and scope for all submissions. Papers that either lack originality or clarity in presentation will not be sent for review and the authors will be promptly informed in such cases. Submitted papers must not be under consideration by other journals, publications or conferences. Authors should follow the Computer Networks manuscript format described below at the journal site: http://www.elsevier.com/journals/computer-networks/1389-1286/guide-for-auth…. The submission must be clearly written and in excellent English, with a maximum page limit of 20 pages. If some of the content of the paper was published in a conference, the submitted manuscript must be a substantial extension of the conference paper. In this case, authors are also required to submit their published conference article and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. Manuscripts should be submitted online through https://www.evise.com/profile/#/COMNET/login, with "SI: IoT SOS" selected as the article type. * Guest editors * Marilia Curado, University of Coimbra, Coimbra, Portugal (marilia(a)dei.uc.pt<mailto:marilia@dei.uc.pt>) Giacomo Tanganelli, University of Pisa, Italy (giacomo.tanganelli(a)iet.unipi.it<mailto:giacomo.tanganelli@iet.unipi.it>) Antonio A F Loureiro, Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil (loureiro(a)dcc.ufmg.br<mailto:loureiro@dcc.ufmg.br>) Eirini Eleni Tsiropoulou, University of New Mexico Albuquerque, NM, USA (eirini(a)unm.edu<mailto:eirini@unm.edu>) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eirini Eleni Tsiropoulou Assistant Professor Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of New Mexico Albuquerque, NM, 87131 Office: 235D Tel.: (505)-277-5501 Email: eirini(a)unm.edu<mailto:eirini@unm.edu> Website: PROTON Lab<http://ece-research.unm.edu/tsiropoulou/index.html> PROTON Lab's News: @Tsiropoulou_EE<https://twitter.com/Tsiropoulou_EE>
