SEA4DQ Workshop 2022 – Software Engineering and AI for Data Quality in Cyber-Physical Systems/Internet of Things

Events

17 November, 2022 – Singapore – Online/In presence Workshop

The 2nd International Workshop on Software Engineering and AI for Data Quality in Cyber-Physical Systems/Internet of Things at the ACM Joint European Software Engineering Conference and Symposium on the Foundations of Software Engineering (ESEC / FSE)


Cyber-physical systems (CPS)/Internet of Things (IoT) are omnipresent in many industrial sectors and application domains in which the quality of the data acquired and used for decision support is a common factor. Data quality can deteriorate due to factors such as sensor faults and failures due to operating in harsh and uncertain environments.

How can software engineering and artificial intelligence (AI) help manage and tame data quality issues in CPS/IoT?

This is the question we aim to investigate in this workshop SEA4DQ. Emerging trends in software engineering need to take data quality management seriously as CPS/IoT are increasingly data-centric in their approach to acquiring and processing data along the edge-fog-cloud continuum. This workshop will provide researchers and practitioners a forum for exchanging ideas, experiences, understanding of the problems, visions for the future, and promising solutions to the problems in data quality in CPS/IoT.
