University of Balamand - Souk El Gharb Campus
15-19 July 2019
Summer School on Smart Environments 2019 - SSSE 2019 took place at University of Balamand, Souk el Gharb campus, from July 15 to July 19, 2019.
The SSSE 2019 is organized by the Issam Fares Faculty of Technology, endorsed by the Ministry of Education and Higher Education and sponsored by Alfa Telecom.
THE FOCUS
Smart green environments such as smart buildings, smart farming, smart cities, smart homes and others have become a hot topic worldwide whether to facilitate our everyday tasks, optimize the usage of resources or help render the working and living environments green. Two main technologies fall at the center of these environments, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT).
On one hand, AI is an essential engine behind any smart application to provide the solution with a sense of intelligence and smart automation.
On the other hand, IoT is a must in order to provide the proper connectivity between the different components within any smart environment and the users. As a result, the University of Balamand, Issam Fares Faculty of Technology is launching its 1st Smart IoT School in summer 2019.
Smart environments are multidisciplinary complex systems. The purpose of the Summer School on Smart Environments is to provide academics, developers, engineers, technicians, graduates, undergraduates and tech enthusiasts with the technical state of the art research knowledge and information regarding IoT and AI within smart environments. Moreover, the school puts in perspective the effects of AI on the social, economical and ethical factors in society.
