The freshness of information is of fundamental importance in information-update and data analytics applications (e.g., crowdsourcing, financial trading, social networks, and online learning), as well as networked monitoring and control systems (e.g., sensor networks, airplane/vehicular control, robotics networks, Internet of Things, and Cyber-Physical Systems). The Age of Information is a new concept that can serve as a performance metric for characterizing the freshness of information, as a means for fundamental research, and as a tool in numerous applications. Recent research advances on the Age of Information suggest that many well-known design principles (e.g., for providing high throughput and low delay) that lead to the success of traditional data networks are inappropriate and need to be re-examined for enhancing information freshness in the rapidly emerging real-time applications.

°Õ³ó±ðÌý (AoI Workshop) Ìýwill provide a forum where researchers and technical experts can share the latest research insights, and present key and emerging results on the Age of Information, and identify new challenges and opportunities. The AoI Workshop will be held in Paris, France on April 29, 2019 in conjunction with theÌý .

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Age of Information Analysis and Optimization
• Age-based Source and Channel Coding
• Real-time Signal Tracking and Estimation
• Age of Channel State Information
• Age of Information in Robotics and Control Systems
• Age of Information and Security
• Age of Information and Networking Theory
• Age of Information and Game Theory
• Age of Information and Control Theory
• Age of Information and Information Theory
• Data Freshness in Caches and Databases
• Fresh Big Data
• Fresh Data for Online Learning
• Applications of Age of Information (e.g., Internet-of-Things (IoT), Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), Vehicular/UAV Networks, etc.)

Submission Guidelines

The AoI Workshop calls for original and unpublished papers no longer than 6 pages. The reviews will be single blind. The manuscripts should be formatted in standard Â鶹´«Ã½AV camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font) and be submitted as PDF files (formatted for 8.5x11 inch paper). Manuscripts should be submitted as PDF files through the EDAS website.
