CORETA 2023 - Advances on Core Technologies and Applications

September 25, 2023 - September 29, 2023

CORETA 2023: Call for Papers
Due to multiple requests, the submission deadline has been moved.
Onsite and Online Options: In order to accommodate a large number of situations, we are offering the option for either physical presence or virtual participation (pdf slides or pre-recorded videos).

A plethora of intertwined technologies and applications raised during the last years because of maturity of core approaches related to Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL), and Cognitive Computing (CC) domains. In parallel, new technologies like 5G, tactile Internet, spatial and terrestrial communications augmented the speed and computing possibilities of networking systems.

Citizen-centric services as well as innovations in transportation, healthcare, industry, and economy, in general become provocative challenges due to complexity, diversity and the increasing needs of our society. In the virtual eco-systems, where robots are part of society as well, robots-driven industry, robots-citizen care, behavior analytics, affective computing, and empathy set the search for practical applications of deep-learning and knowledge discovery.

While progress is visible, sensitive aspects related to privacy, digital forgery, assisted-living, and semantic processing of the enormous information collected for IoT and wearable devices are still partially solved. Apart intrinsic citizen-focused issues, new self-driven systems and parts (drones, vehicular systems), sustainable and green energy, protection of critical systems, and smart cities challenges ask for innovative correlation and real-time solutions based on core-technologies and applications mentioned above.

CORETA 2023 continues a series of international events covering challenges to make use and correlate results in different scientific and technological achievements. Potential solutions for reliability, resilience, prediction, sustainability, etc. are still fledgling hopes.

We solicit both academic, research, and industrial contributions. We welcome technical papers presenting research and practical results, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, such as those being discussed in the standard fora or in industry consortia, survey papers addressing the key problems and solutions on any of the above topics short papers on work in progress, and panel proposals.

Industrial presentations are not subject to the format and content constraints of regular submissions. We expect short and long presentations that express industrial position and status.

Tutorials on specific related topics and panels on challenging areas are encouraged.

The topics suggested by the conference can be discussed in term of concepts, state of the art, research, standards, implementations, running experiments, applications, and industrial case studies. Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal in the following, but not limited to, topic areas.

All topics and submission formats are open to both research and industry contributions.

Helpful information for paper formatting for MS Word can be found here.

There is a community provided LaTeX template: the CTAN package iaria (with full IARIA formatting rules, including IARIA citation style, but for providing citation style it is tightly bound to pdflatex+biblatex+biber). In addition, there is also iaria-lite (not bound to pdflatex+biblatex+biber, but compatible with any TeX stack; thus, it cannot provide the IARIA citation formattings, but only the titlepage and content-related IARIA formatting rules). Based on the iaria package, there is a minimal working example as Overleaf template. When you are using the LaTeX templates, please still adhere to the additional editorial rules.

Slides-based contributions can use the corporate/university format and style.

Your paper should also comply with the additional editorial rules.

Once you receive the notification of contribution acceptance, you will be provided by the publisher an online author kit with all the steps an author needs to follow to submit the final version. The author kits URL will be included in the letter of acceptance.

We would recommend that you should not use too many extra pages, even if you can afford the extra fees. No more than 2 contributions per event are recommended, as each contribution must be separately registered and paid for. At least one author of each accepted paper must register to ensure that the paper will be included in the conference proceedings and in the digital library, or posted on the www.iaria.org (for slide-based contributions).
