Smart Service Systems

Seventh IEEE International Workshop on Smart Service Systems
SmartSys 2022

20 June, 2022 | Aalto University, Espoo, Finland

http://smartsys2022.dii.unipi.it

Co-located with the IEEE International Conference on Smart Computing (IEEE SMARTCOMP 2022)

IEEE SMARTCOMP 2022 will take place as an in person/remote hybrid event.


Technology succeeds when it provides benefits to society either directly or indirectly. Understanding the social and economic impact and human-centered aspects of a smart system or technology in advance and designing the system apriori with potential value-added services help spur the discoveries of new tools, methodologies, and innovative services. Smart service systems span across various socio-technical facets comprising devices, people, organizations, environments, and technologies to sense, actuate, control, and assess the physical, cyber, and societal artifacts of the human service systems. These self-adaptive and fault-tolerant systems require the design to continuously increase the quality and productivity, compliance, and sustainability of the smart services it offers. A human-centered perspective and cognitive learning help create multi-facet value-added services and catalyze the sustained economic growth of these smart service systems. Furthermore, understanding the multi-modal sensing, control, heterogeneity, and interdependency between different physical, virtual, and logical components of such a complex system will enable the realization of new transformative smarter service systems. If successful, this can help improve the quality-of-service of the customers, quality of life of the citizens, and quality-of returns of the stakeholders and investors.


Nurturing the development of smart service systems seeks inter-and trans-disciplinary crosscutting research threads from the system and operational engineering, computer science and information systems, social and behavioral science, computational modeling and industrial engineering, etc. This workshop aims to bring together practitioners and researchers from academia and industry to disseminate and share knowledge via the discussion forum and technical presentations on smart service systems' fundamental knowledge and principles. We envision these smart systems enabling the value co-creation in sensing, actuating, data analytics, learning, cognition, and control of human-centric cyber-physical-social systems and future work.


Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Innovative technologies, tools, methodologies and solutions for smart service systems; example includes personalized healthcare, smart energy, smart cities, smart manufacturing, intelligent transportation, education, precision medicine and agriculture, national security etc.

Panel - AI and Autonomy for Smart Services

The future of smart service systems is changing with the proliferation of a multitude of autonomous systems and services such as autonomous driving, precision agriculture, food and nutrition services, smart home and remote healthcare to name a few. To fully realize the fullest extent of these smart services and systems, a conglomeration of techniques such as AI and ML with resilient communications and control, reliability, and autonomy is of utmost importance.
