Call For Papers
The 2018 report from the World Economic Forum Global Risks highlights that the continued deterioration of the global environment is increasingly dominant to be one of the biggest threats to humanity. Environment monitoring is one of the key solutions to characterize and monitor the quality of the environment. Therefore, it is feasible to prepare environmental impact assessments and investigate the impact of human activities which may carry a risk of harmful effects on the natural environment. This workshop aims to publish new research and reviews in the use of IoT technology and LLM for environmental monitoring for smart cities. The scope of the workshop also includes emerging communication technologies such as 5G/6G data communication, fog/edge/cloud computing, data fusion, big data analytics, and data science methods such as data mining and machine learning for processing and analyzing environmental data. Any innovative and novel ideas related to environmental monitoring are also highly appreciated and to be considered in this workshop call.
We invite submission of articles (6 pages) and extended abstracts (2 pages) focusing on, but not limited to, the following themes:
Distributed sensing, inference, and wireless computation for environmental monitoring
Edge/Fog/Cloud Intelligence and semantic communications for environmental systems
Artificial intelligence for optimizing environmental sensing systems
Data sciences and data mining for environmental data analytics
Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLM) for environmental sensing
Air, water, and soil pollution sensing systems and their applications
Extreme weather monitoring and disaster management sensing systems
Unmanned aerial and underwater vehicles for environmental sensing scenarios
People flow analytics in the built environment
IoT for smart buildings and green environments
IoT solutions and sensing systems for waste management
Health analytics based on environmental data
Big data analytics for environmental monitoring and protection
EnvSys 26 is co-located with ACM MobiSys 2026. The accepted papers will be included with the MobiSys proceedings and posted in the ACM Digital Library.
