C A L L F O R P A P E R S The 1st IEEE Intl. Workshop on ALgorithms for Indoor Architectures and Systems (ALIAS 2019), collocated with the 20th IEEE Intl. Conference on Mobile Data Management (MDM 2019) June 10, 2019, Hong Kong https://alias19.cs.ucy.ac.cy/ AIMS & TOPICS OF INTEREST: Indoor Information Systems (IIS) have witnessed significant growth over the past decade, driven by the fact that 90% of our activities are carried out in indoor spaces. As a result, new research paradigms in constituent technologies have emerged, ranging from data-driven localization algorithms, to data privacy handling schemes, and indoor data management operators. Towards this direction, successful launching of popular applications relied on stored indoor spatial models fusing sensor information, exploiting sensor prevalence in smartphone devices and wireless connectivity pervasiveness, in light of the big data era and accompanying technologies. This workshop aims to discuss current trends and highlight future directions on both established and potentially transforming Algorithms for Indoor Architectures and Systems. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Positioning technologies using different technologies (e.g., UWB, IMU, Cellular, 5G femtocells, RFID, Magnetic, Vision, Hybrid) * 2D and 3D operators for localization and analytics * Modeling and representation of indoor spaces * Indoor GIS integration efforts (IndoorOSM, IndoorGML) * Storage, processing and indexing operators for indoor data * Collaborative positioning and crowdsourcing * Indoor analytics and indoor decision support systems * Visual analytics of indoor data * Big-data processing of indoor data * Privacy issues with indoor technologies * Human mobility data acquisition, handling, and analysis in indoor spaces * Data quality and uncertainty issues study on indoor mobility data * Discovery of indoor mobility patterns * Theoretic and/or empirical indoor modelling issues * Semantic knowledge harvesting and ontologies for indoor data * Recommender Systems for indoor data (e.g., POIs, services) * Real-time analysis of data generated in indoor spaces (audio, video, text) * Social behaviour analysis on indoor mobility data * Deep learning on indoor data * Security and Privacy in indoor mobile systems * Robotics and Drones for logistics operations in indoor spaces * Indoor Case Studies (e.g., Healthcare, Airports, Campuses) * Interactive media technologies to indoor (Augmented/Virtual/Mixed Reality) * Indoor Technologies for inside the space of Smart and Self-driving Cars * Offline and Hybrid Online/Offline Navigation and Context Awareness * Mapmatching Algorithms and Systems * Out-of-the-box application domains for indoor (blockchain, AI, IoT) The workshop will be organized in a manner that fosters interaction and exchange of ideas among the participants. Besides regular papers, we will also consider vision, retrospective and work-in-progress papers that have the potential to stimulate debate on existing solutions or open challenges. We additionally plan to accept a limited number of demonstration papers where researchers and technologists will have the opportunity to describe an innovative system or tool in the area of data management for mobile and wireless access. We discourage the submission of incremental papers. This year's program is also expected to feature a keynote speech and a panel discussion on newly-emerging or controversial topics. IMPORTANT DATES Paper/Vision/Demo Submission: Fri., March 29, 2019 (midnight AoE) - updated Notification of Acceptance: Fri., April 19, 2019 - updated Camera-ready Version Due: Fri., May 03, 2019 (midnight AoE) - updated Workshop Date: June 10, 2019 (tentative date) SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS Manuscripts in the following categories will be considered for publication in the 1st IEEE Intl. Workshop on ALgorithms for Indoor Architectures and Systems: * Regular papers (max. 6 pages): The submission should describe significant theoretical and/or experimental contributions to the topics of the workshop. * Demo OR Vision papers (max. 3 pages): The submission should either descrive some vision in the scope of the workshop or the architecture, implementation and usage of innovative tools or systems that fit the context of the workshop. The presentation of demo|vision papers will be conducted in a designated session during the workshop (in the form of short presentations). All of the submissions should be in PDF format and conform to the IEEE MDM'19 proceedings format. Submitted papers must not have been published or currently be under consideration for publication at another venue. All of the submissions will be handled electronically. Each paper will be reviewed by several members of the program committee. Detailed submission information will be posted on the website of the workshop. The workshop proceedings will be published in the IEEE MDM proceedings (volume 2) by the IEEE Computer Society and electronic versions of the papers will be included in the IEEE DL, DiSC'09 and DBLP. *** Submission URL *** https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/ALIAS2019/ WORKSHOP CHAIRS * Dong-Soo Han Department of Computer Science Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Korea https://sites.google.com/site/profdshan/ * Andreas S.
