Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The application of pervasive technology and ubiquitous computing to people's everyday spaces, such as houses, cities, work environments, etc., has favoured the creation of more personalized and efficient environments. In cases of working in critical and sensitive spaces, such as hospitals, military settings, public administration, etc., the overall requirements are usually more restrictive. For this reason, AI and data analytics play an essential role in creating these new sensitive spaces, where aspects such as information security and the privacy of managed data are of the utmost importance. Traditionally, AI and data analysis have focused on offering robust mechanisms for managing the data handled by smart spaces, extracting meaningful information from them, or adapting their behaviour to the needs of their users.
However, when these techniques are applied to critical and sensitive environments, in addition to the above, it is crucial to promote understanding of the internal operations, guarantee an acceptable degree of transparency, and promote system resilience.
This Special Issue will include studies investigating the application of innovative AI and data analytics techniques to sensitive smart environments in order to improve the security and privacy of the users and understanding and transparency of internal system operations. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Explainable artificial intelligence;
- Real-world data analytics;
- Complex data visualization;
- Pervasive technology acceptance;
- Pervasive sensitive services;
- User-centered security for sensitive smart environments.
