The 19th International Conference on Intelligent Environments (IE2023) is the major annual venue in the area and will be held in beautiful Mauritius, next to Madagascar, from June 27th to June 30th. Mauritius is home to some of the world’s rarest plants and animals. However, for those who cannot come to beautiful Mauritius, IE2023 will also offer hybrid (online) participation options.

IE2023 offers an international forum and welcomes contributions from all over the planet. Intelligent Environments refer to physical spaces in which information and communication technologies, artificial intelligence, interfaces, sensing, and actuating technologies are woven to create interacting spaces. The ultimate objective of such environments is to enrich users’; activities while allowing users to manage them and be aware of each other’s capabilities.

Conference Program

IE2023 is a multidisciplinary event welcoming contributions from a diversity of various relevant areas, including sensors and actuators, signal processing (incl. audio and images), networking, human-computer interaction, artificial intelligence, software engineering, context-awareness, internet of things, pervasive and ubiquitous computing, applied in domains such healthcare, education, culture, and building environments etc.

IE2023 will include

full (8-page) and short (4-page) papers;
4 special sessions
9 workshops

Doctoral Colloquium
The aims the colloquium is to provide research students an opportunity to meet other people in a similar position, make relatively informal presentations, discuss and give/receive feedback on each other’s experiences, ideas, and findings, and to make connections and to have fun! All accepted presentations will be submitted as short (4-page) papers and published in the IE2023 IEEE Proceedings. A prize will be awarded for the best colloquium paper.

Industrial Forum
In the Industrial Forum, colleagues from the industry domain will have the opportunity to showcase their projects while attracting funding or further expanding collaborations with industry and academia at an international level. A limited number of presentation/demo slots of up to 30 minutes, including question and answer, will be available for industry partners. During these slots, it will be possible for companies to present products/solutions/projects related to the Intelligent Environment.

Publications (ISI-indexed)
Papers accepted in the main conference as either short or full paper will be published by IEEE indexed proceedings.
Papers accepted in workshops will be published as a volume of the IOS Press Ambient Intelligence and Smart Environments book Series of IOS Press as well as electronically through ACM Digital Library.
Both the articles in the IEEE proceedings and the IOS Press books will be ISI-indexed.

A selection of papers will be invited to extend and submit extended versions to special issues of the following journals:

Journal of Ambient Intelligence and Smart Environments, IF(JCR 2021)=2.759 (Q3)
