  • Architectural Aspects
  • Art and Design
  • Social Aspects
  • Legal and Ethical Aspects
  • Smart Environments Applications
  • Virtual Environments
The conference will also feature 15 special sessions as explained here.
Papers may discuss theories, applications, evaluation, limitations, general tools and techniques. Discussion papers that critically evaluate approaches or processing strategies and prototype demonstrations are especially welcome.
Paper submissions will be allowed under the following categories for IE07:
  • Full Papers: The length of full papers should not exceed 8 pages. Full papers should report on original and previously unpublished work that currently is not under review in any conference or journal. Both basic and applied research papers are welcome.
  • Short Papers: The length of short papers should not exceed 4 pages. Short papers should report on smaller case studies or ongoing but interesting and original research efforts.
  • Demo Papers: The length of Demo papers should not exceed 4 pages. Demo papers are targeted towards authors who may wish to demonstrate their system during IE07. Demo papers should provide a description of the proposed system, installation or demo.
All the papers above should follow strictly The Institution of Engineering and Technology's guidelines and the conference templates available here.
All accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings which will be published by The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). Authors of selected papers accepted for the conference proceedings will be considered to submit extended versions of their papers for publication in a book to be published by Springer. Prospective authors will be contacted by the volume editors.
The conference will also feature a video track featuring movies of interesting, important or illustrative research related to the area of Intelligent Environments. More information can be found here.
