Topics

• Artificial intelligenceResearch on systems that perceive, reason, plan and act, from foundational methods to deployed applications. The topic spans knowledge representation, autonomous agents and the evaluation of intelligent behaviour in real settings.Articles will be listed upon publication
• Machine learningMethods that learn patterns and predictions from data, together with the theory that explains when and why they work. Coverage includes deep, statistical, reinforcement and representation learning and their rigorous empirical evaluation.Articles will be listed upon publication
• Data science and analyticsThe collection, engineering, analysis and interpretation of data at scale. Work in this area addresses data quality, mining, visual analytics and the statistical inference that turns data into reliable evidence.Articles will be listed upon publication
• Robotics and automationThe design, control and deployment of robots and automated systems. Research ranges from motion planning and perception to industrial automation and the safe collaboration of people and machines.Articles will be listed upon publication
• Internet of ThingsNetworks of connected sensors, devices and cyber-physical systems and the services built on them. The topic covers sensing, embedded platforms, communication protocols and the management of devices at scale.Articles will be listed upon publication
• Cybersecurity and trustSecurity, privacy and the trustworthiness of digital systems. Research addresses threats and defences, cryptography, secure architectures and the assurance that systems behave as intended.Articles will be listed upon publication
• Cloud and edge computingComputing infrastructure from the data centre to the network edge. The topic includes distributed and high-performance systems, resource scheduling, virtualisation and the placement of computation close to where data is produced.Articles will be listed upon publication
• Quantum and emerging computingNew computing paradigms beyond conventional architectures. Research in this area covers quantum algorithms and hardware, neuromorphic and optical computing, and the methods needed to program and evaluate them.Articles will be listed upon publication
• Smart cities and infrastructureTechnology and analysis for the planning and operation of cities and critical infrastructure. Work spans mobility and transport, utilities, buildings and the governance of urban data.Articles will be listed upon publication
