Influence Theory in Smart Environment (SMARTINFLUENCE 2015)

Introduction

Influence theory, originally developed in social psychology, deals with changes in behaviour of an entity because of its social interactions. This principle appears relevant  to be used in system computing, as it was recently introduced in wireless networks.

Nowadays, Internet of Things brings together thousands of communicating objects including people themselves. In this context, the purpose of this special session is to study how the interactions between objects influence decision-making. This workshop aims at bringing together the community of researchers working on this topic in order to identify the various influence models and their applications, initiate exchanges and collaborations around the subject and to define the challenges and prospects.

Topics of interests

The following topics are considered to be in line with the special session, but are not limited to:

  • Models and applications of influence theory in IoT
  • Influence through agent ignorance (or lack of information)
  • Smart environment optimisation through influence
  • Reliability in smart environments under influence
