IEEE International Conference on AI & Mobile Services (AIMS 2017)
June 25 - June 30, 2017, Hilton Village, Honolulu, HI, USA

Theme: AI-powered Wearable Technology and Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications
http://www.themobileservices.org/2017/

Wireless and ubiquitous connectivity have enabled mobile computing and Internet access on the go as a life-enhancing and indispensable experience of modern life. More than 50 billion devices, in more than 200 device types, will likely be connected to the Internet by 2020 as integral components of a new generation of high-value application services for consumers and enterprises. API-defined mobile services have become essential ubiquitous services consumption and delivery enablers for many industries and government organizations worldwide. The 2017 IEEE International Conference on AI & Mobile Services (AIMS) aims at providing an international forum that is dedicated to exploring different aspects of mobile services (from business management to computing systems, algorithms, and applications) and to promoting technological innovations in research and development of mobile services, including, but not limited to, wireless & sensor networks, mobile & wearable computing, mobile enterprise & eCommerce, ubiquitous collaborative & social services, Internet-of-things applications, cyber-physical integration, big data analytics for mobility-enabled services, and AI & machine learning theory, algorithms & applications for mobile services.

AIMS 2017 will co-locate with IEEE CLOUD 2017, ICWS 2017, SCC 2017, BigData Congress 2017, SERVICES 2017, ICCC 2017, ICIOT 2017, and ICFC 2017.
