WETICE-SLS Track
WETICE 2020 Track - Smart Living Space - Call for papers
Track Name: Smart Living Space (SLS)
Proposers: R. Reddy, West Virginia University, USA, S. Reddy, West Virginia University, USA, L. Sliman, Efrei School of Engineering, France
The organizers of the SLS Track at WETICE 2020 (to be held in Biarritz, France) invite you to submit your papers, proposals for a workshop and Panel Discussions. All papers will be reviewed by at least three reviewers. Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings on IEEE Xplore.
Brief Description of the Track
A smart living space is one, where the space (house/apartment) is aware of the challenges faced by its residents and provides intelligent assistance as needed. For example, if the resident has difficulty remembering how or when to take medicines, a smart medication dispenser will help. Similarly, if a resident is lonely, technologies like Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality can bring family and friends virtually to improve social engagement. There are many more such opportunities to intelligently assist the residents. This will make it possible for people to live in their own homes longer before having to be transferred to an institution such as a Nursing Home.
As the world’s population ages, it becomes imperative that we find technology based solutions to improve the quality of living of citizens of all abilities by making their living environments more supportive of its residents and avoid the enormous social costs associated with institutionalized living.
