The 7th International Conference on Intelligent Environments (IE'11)  
will be held at Nottingham Trent University, United Kingdom. This  
conference is the seventh edition in a series of highly successful  
conferences that were organized in Colchester (UK), Athens (Greece),  
Ulm (Germany), Seattle (USA), Barcelona (Spain) and Kuala Lumpur  
(Malaysia) in the past six years. The conference provides a  
collaborative forum for scientists, researchers and engineers from  
both industry and academia to present theoretical and practical  
results of Intelligent Environments research and their application in  
various domains and disciplines. This conference program will include  
workshops, invited lectures and special sessions of full and posters.  
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

- Ambient Intelligence
- Ubiquitous/Pervasive Computing
- Intelligent Agents
- Context Awareness
- End-User Programming
- Human-Computer Interaction
- Smart Sensors
- Affective Systems
- Wearables (smart clothes, digital fashion)
- Domestic Robotics
- Virtual & Mixed-Reality
- Tele-care and Telemedicine
- Middleware
- Networking
- Communications
- Development/Testing/Evaluation Methodologies
- Architecture and Interaction Design
- Sustainable Design and Smart Buildings
- Ambient Urban Intelligence


Aditionally, for this edition there are special tracks of interest on:  
Architecture, Ambient Assisted Living, Smart Agriculture, AI, Arts &  
Design, Educational Technology, HCI, Networks, Sustainable Pervasive  
Systems and Social Sciences, together with tracks on New Horizons and  
Theoretical Foundations.

Regular Submissions: Authors are invited to submit full papers of no  
more than eight (8) pages (including any data, figures and references)  
in standard IEEE double-column format. All papers submitted to IE'10  
must be unpublished previously and should not be undergoing  
consideration for publication elsewhere during IE'10 review period.

In addition to full papers, authors can submit papers to any of the  
three following to be held during the conference. The length limit for  
papers submitted to these tracks is 4 pages. Papers accepted in any of  
these tracks will also be included in the Conference Proceedings (see  
more details in Publications section below). The deadline for  
submitting to these tracks is the same than for main conference paper  
submission. Contact details are offered further down in this document.

Doctoral Colloquium: this track is designed to encourage PhD students  
to discuss their ideas in a friendly context. The PhD student should  
be the main author of the paper.

Posters Session: this track encourages shorter reports on recent  
progress, which will be assessed as scientific contributions with the  
same standards of quality than other papers submitted to the main  
conference and presented during the posters session.

Demos and Videos Session: this track provides the opportunity to show  
the community the advances in your project. Videos should be  
accompanied by a paper explaining the system being presented.

NEW! This year we are offering a challenge to encourage advances in  
the realization of Intelligent Environments. There will be prizes  
within the Demo/video track to reward important achievements. The most  
important prize will be the one that measures how close an IE becomes  
to an equivalent human assistant: "How Intelligent is your Intelligent  
Environment?". More details on this challenge will be released through  
the web site of the event.

Workshops Program: as in previous editions, a number of workshops will  
complement the main conference program. This year 14 workshops have  
been accepted offering a wide variety of options in different topics.   
These parallel events will provide a stimulating environment for the  
discussion of work in progress and the assessment of new ideas. Length  
limit for submissions to any workshop: 12 pages. ¨ÜPapers accepted in  
any of the workshops sponsored by this conference will be included in  
one Proceedings volume that will collect the contributions in all  
workshops, see more details in Publications section.
Deadline for submissions: independent from the main conference and  
provided in separate Call for Papers.

Important Dates:

Conference paper submission: 14 February 2011
Conference Notification of acceptance: 21 March 2011
Conference Paper final submission: 11 April 2011
Workshops: 25-26 July 2011
Conference: 25-28 July 2011

Invited Speakers: as in previous editions, IEí11 will invite  
distinguished professionals through a number of Keynotes program.   
They will be announced through the website of the event in the near  
future.

Publications: all papers accepted in the main conference will be  
electronically available through IEEE Explore. All papers accepted in  
the Workshops program will be published in printed form as a volume of  
the Ambient Intelligence and Smart Environments Series (ISI indexed)  
of IOS Press and electronically available through ACM Digital Library.  
Three Special Issues in Journals will be Published, in the areas of  
AmI (by JAISE, Scopus indexed), AAL (journal being agreed) and HCI  
(journal being agreed).

Best Paper Prizes: This year, the IOS Press will again provide a  
prize, in the form of a free 12 months subscription to the Journal of  
Ambient Intelligence and Smart Environments, for the "Best Conference  
Paper Award".
