Abstract: We consider an emerging class of challenging intelligent applications called Real-Time Online Interactive Applications (ROIA). ROIA are networked applications connecting a potentially very high number of users who interact with the application and with each other in real time, i.e., a response to a user’s action happens virtually immediately. Typical representatives of ROIA are multiplayer online computer games, advanced simulation-based e-learning and serious gaming. All these applications are characterized by high performance and QoS requirements, such as: short response times to user inputs (about 0.1-1.5 s); frequent state updates (up to 100 Hz); large and frequently changing numbers of users in a single application instance (up to tens of thousands simultaneous users). This talk will address two challenging aspects of future cyber-applications: a) using Mobile Cloud Computing for allowing high application performance when a ROIA application is accessed from multiple mobile devices, and b) managing dynamic QoS requirements of ROIA applications by employing the emerging technology of Software-Defined Networking (SDN).

Abstract: This talk will explore the rapid evolution of data mining techniques and their transformative impact on data, information, and computing sciences. In the age of massive data generation, the ability to extract meaningful insights is becoming increasingly critical for a wide array of industries. Modern data mining goes beyond traditional approaches by leveraging advancements in machine learning, AI, and big data technologies to address complex problems across various domains.
In this talk, we will embark on a comprehensive exploration of the current state of data mining, covering key concepts such as classification, clustering, anomaly detection, and association rule learning. We will also examine the growing importance of unstructured data, the challenges of scalability, and the pressing need for data privacy and ethical data usage.
Through a series of real-world applications, we will demonstrate how data mining is being applied in fields ranging from healthcare and finance to social networks and property development. Additionally, we will discuss the integration of cutting-edge tools and platforms, including AI-driven analytics and cloud-based computing environments, and their role in shaping the future of data mining.
The session will conclude with a forward-looking perspective on upcoming trends in the field, such as the increasing adoption of edge computing, federated learning, and the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration. This keynote will provide attendees with a deeper understanding of how modern data mining techniques are reshaping data-driven decision-making and the vast potential for future innovation in data, information, and computing sciences.

Abstract: In an era where artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly integrated into various facets of society, the importance of responsible AI practices and ethical considerations cannot be overstated. This keynote talk aims to illuminate the critical intersection of AI technology and ethics, exploring the fundamental principles that guide the development and deployment of AI systems. We will begin by defining responsible AI, emphasizing the need for transparency, accountability, and fairness in AI algorithms. The discussion will highlight real-world examples where ethical lapses have led to significant societal impacts, underscoring the necessity for a robust ethical framework. Participants will gain insights into key ethical principles such as bias mitigation, user privacy, and the implications of AI decision-making on marginalized communities. Furthermore, we will explore the role of policymakers, technologists, and stakeholders in fostering an ethical AI ecosystem. By the end of this session, attendees will be equipped with a deeper understanding of AI ethics and the proactive steps necessary to ensure that AI serves the common good, promoting innovation while safeguarding fundamental human rights. Join us in navigating the complexities of responsible AI and shaping a future that aligns technology with ethical imperatives.
