BeDaBApps 2023

Machine Learning (ML) and the Internet Of Things (IoT) are at the center of many technologies and applications and artificial intelligence-based systems will continue to revolutionize almost every aspect of our lives in the coming decades. Generally, ML and IoT are used to build computer systems that replicate human intelligence. The fundamental change in the use of ML is the transition from a human command-driven tool to a machine inference engine that learns new information from huge amounts of data; but one often wonders how these systems can be fed with behavioral data.

Why is this data so important? Because they are not static, they make it possible to follow the evolutions of behavior according to several aspects. They give the possibility of automating the triggering of new strategies according to the real time actions of the targeted entities. For example, in medicine, real-time behavioral data is useful for reaching healthcare professionals in several use cases, including bringing a new device or therapy to market, as well as influencing prescriptions.

BeDaBApps session will aim to discuss how the concepts of ML and IoT have become increasingly important in some of the key applications and technologies that implement intelligent systems based on behavioral data. It will provide an interdisciplinary forum for researchers and developers to present the latest advances in research work as well as prototyped or fielded systems in different fields (medical diagnosis, intelligent decision making, knowledge engineering, computer vision, etc.). This special session aims to:

• Gain a fundamental understanding about behavioral data analysis techniques from leading experts in ML and IoT.
• Receive an in-depth update on the latest technologies (IoB and IoT) that can help identify future behaviors of individuals
• Learn how the use of behavioral data can be applied across different industries
• See how ML approaches combined with IoT are proven to be successful in decision making based on behavioral data.

Special Session Topics for the BeDaBApps include, but are not limited to:

• Social Computing, and Applications
• Computational models of social phenomena
• Social Behavior Social network analysis
• Internet of things in agriculture
• Strategic IoT and IoB solutions for smart agriculture
• Multi-Agent systems and behavioral simulation
