10-15 January 2021*


*** Call for papers ***
* Paper submission due: June 15th, 2020
* Acceptance notification: July 15th, 2020
* Workshop @ ICPR 2020: January 11th, 2021

High expansion of urban population and recent world events complemented by
the alarming increase of the number of threats to infrastructure safety
have mobilized Authorities to redesign societal security concepts. Law
Enforcement Authorities are focusing and aiming consistently their actions
at preventing crimes and protecting people, properties and critical
infrastructures.

With the accelerated advances of communications and storage technologies,
access to critical information acquired from various sensors and sources,
e.g., land cameras, satellite data, drones, personal devices, has been
significantly eased. Manipulation and processing of such high amount of
diverse data is still a steady challenge, and most of the existing
solutions involve the use of human resources. However, threats are now at a
very large scale, requiring very different security solutions which are
able to make use of interdisciplinary approaches. In this context,
computer-assisted or automated technologies are now becoming more and more
attractive to substitute expensive human resources in the decision systems.

RISS 2020 focuses on discussing solutions provided by Artificial
Intelligence (AI) systems to the aforementioned challenges. It aims to
bring together researchers from academia and industry, end-users,
law-enforcing agencies and citizen groups to share experiences and explore
multi- and inter-disciplinary areas where additional research and
development are needed, identify possible collaboration and consider the
societal impact of such technologies.

Authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished work,
reporting on novel and significant research contributions, on-going
research projects, experimental results and recent developments related to
AI for Secure Societies on the following topics (but not limited to):
- Computer vision (e.g., crowd monitoring, scene understanding)
- Multimedia information retrieval (e.g., indexing, searching and browsing,
Big Data)
- Information fusion from various sensors (e.g., visual, infrared, depth,
sound)
- Machine learning (e.g., very large scale deep learning, neural networks)
- Embedded systems, IoT, and low energy footprint computing
- Social media, cybercrimes and fake news
- Surveillance systems and interactive solutions
- Forensics and crime scene reconstruction
- Unmanned aerial, terrestrial, underwater vehicles and robots
- Biometric systems and algorithms (e.g., body, fingerprint, gesture, voice
recognition)
- Case studies, practical systems and testbeds
- Ethics, data protection, privacy protection, civil liberties and social
exclusion issues
- Benchmarking, evaluation and data sets


*** Submission guidelines ***
RISS 2020 follows a single-blind review process, therefore authors are
required to include their names and affiliations in their papers. All
papers will be peer reviewed single-blind. Authors are requested to adhere
to the IAPR Ethical Requirements when submitting their contributions.
Workshop proceedings will be published with Springer and submissions should
be formatted using the provided Springer templates. Accepted paper length
is from 12 to 15 pages. To submit your contribution, follow the link
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=riss2020.
