1st Complex Events and Information Modelling (CEIM'14)

Warsaw, Poland, September 7-10, 2014

E-mail: ceim2014@fedcsis.org

We would like to cordially invite you to consider contributing a paper to CEIM 2014 - held as a part of the Federated Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems (FedCSIS 2014).

FedCSIS is an annual international multi-conference organized by the Polish Information Processing Society (PTI) in technical cooperation with the IEEE Region 8, IEEE Computer Society, IEEE Poland Section Computer Society Chapter, IEEE Poland (Gdansk) Section Computer Society Chapter, ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing, ACM Lodz Chapter, International Federation for Information Processing, European Alliance for Innovation, Informatics Europe, IEEE-CIS Poland Section Chapter, Asociación de Técnicos de Informática, Committee of Computer Science of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Polish Society for Business Informatics, Polish Chamber of Information Technology and Telecommunications, Polish Chamber of Commerce for High Technology and Eastern Cluster ICT Poland, Mazovia Cluster ICT.

Event modelling is a method of intelligent analyzing streams of information (data, percepts) about things that happen (events), and deriving conclusions from them. The goal of CEIM is to identify meaningful events and respond to them appropriately and quickly. We define the complexity of the event as both the complexity of the modelled physical phenomenon (fire, weather, chemical reaction, biological process) as well as the heterogeneity of the data (digital images, percepts, sensory data, natural language, semi-structured and structured data). In addition, the emphasis should be placed on the intelligent aspect of these models. This means that systems should semi- autonomously perceive their environment and take action.
The workshop on Complex Events and Information Modelling provides an interdisciplinary forum for researchers and developers. The workshop is mostly intended for applications of Artificial Intelligence in Fire Safety domain, but we also encourage researchers from other fields: health care, smart buildings, ubiquitous computing, process mining and others. The workshop covers the whole range of theoretical and practical aspects, technologies and systems and aims at bringing together specialists for exchanging ideas and promote interdisciplinary discussions.
