The new workshop at MIPRO 2019

As part of the 42nd International ICT convention MIPRO 2019, several workshops will take place. One of them is the workshop „Future of Technologies and Artificial Intelligence in Marketing“ which will be held and chaired by prof. Luiz Moutinho.

This workshop deals with faster and faster advances in technologies - especially with the developments in the field of artificial intelligence - which bring numerous of changes in global innovation economy and benefits for society, but sometimes may cause new risks. The increasing complexity of technology may present challenges in understanding its impact in people's everyday life and relevant industries, e.g. in marketing.

MIPRO 2019 - Keynote lecture by Veljko Milutinović
 
Professor Veljko Milutinović from Department of Computer Science, University of Indiana in Bloomington, USA will hold a keynote lecture on "DataFlow SuperComputing for BigData DeepAnalytics" on Wednesday, 22 May at the 42nd International ICT Convention MIPRO 2019.

This lecture will analyze the essence of DataFlow SuperComputing, define its advantages, and clarify the related programming model that corresponds to the recent Intel patent about the future Intel's dataflow processor.

Professor Mladen Mauher, Ph.D. and Davor Salamon, Ph.D. as invited lecturers of the conference "Digital Economy and Digital Society" will present the results of their own research of key drivers in the domains of industrial and economic transformation through the presentation of "Exogenous and Endogenous Drivers of Digitized Economic and Social Transformations".

Dr. Rebecca Christianson from Olin College of Engineering, Needham, USA, will hold an interesting workshop on „How to Teach Mathematics in the Engineering Context“ at the 42nd International Conference of MIPRO 2019,  organized by the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing from Zagreb and MIPRO. This keynote speaker is partially supported by the IEEE Education Society Distinguished Lecturer Program.
 

Dr. Rebecca Christianson is an Associate Professor of Applied Physics at Olin College of Engineering.  Olin College is a young, undergraduate only engineering college with a focus on hands on, project-based learning.  Prof. Christianson has taught there for fifteen years with a specialty in interdisciplinary classes which integrate mathematics, physics and engineering.

Professor Maria Lindén will give the invited talk about eHealth within the Distributed Computing in Data Science and Biomedical Engineering Conference at MIPRO 2019.

She has a research background from Biomedical Engineering and holds a PhD from Linköping University in Biomedical Instrumentation Technique (1998) with the title High Resolution Laser Doppler Imaging for Microvascular Blood Flow Measurements.

It is our pleasure to announce an interesting plenary keynote lecture about the future of artificial intelligence in marketing which will be presented by Prof. Luiz Moutinho within the plenary session on Wednesday, 22 May. 

Prof. Moutinho will present the lecture entitled „Artificial Intelligence in Marketing“ in which he encapsulates reflecting on the artificial intelligence as a new normal and its influences to the society as we know it.

In his talk, Paul Timmers will expose the good and bad of the interplay of AI and cybersecurity, the opportunities and the threats. This is one of the most relevant cases to understand how technology and policy interrelate in the digital economy.

Preparations for the 42nd International ICT Convention MIPRO 2019 are underway. There are only several months left over before the start of the convention.

MIPRO 2019 is technically co-sponsored by IEEE and EAI. As usual, MIPRO invites authors to submit their papers for one of the 12 traditional conferences. Besides them, this year's novelty are 2 new international conferences - Smart, Sustainable and Resilient Cities and Infrastructures /SSRCI and COnference on COmposability, COmprehensibility and COrrectness of Working Software /4COWS.

The 42^nd International ICT Convention MIPRO 2019 is traditionally dedicated to information and communication technology, electronics, microelectronics, renewable energy sources, ecology along with new and high technologies in general. We are convinced that MIPRO 2019 will attract more than thousand participants from commerce, science, education, state and local administration, government and local self-government from Croatia and abroad.

You are invited to submit your scientific, professional and review papers for one of our conferences. It can be an opportunity to present results of your research and professional work. Scientific interns and students attending graduate study programs are invited and encouraged to submit their papers. The presentations may contain results of scientific research, development of new products and services including results obtained in doctoral and masters’ theses. We also welcome papers with descriptions of technical, software, hardware and other solutions as well as papers which show the use of nanotechnology, ecology and renewable energy sources. Besides, there are also expected papers of experts in the field of education and education technologies. We invite chairs of European and other projects on science, research, information, technology to present their achievements and experiences. Furthermore, we would like to point out the papers which reflect on programs as a result of European cooperation. MIPRO 2019 is a technological convention opened to all of those who seek for a technological change.

Apart from the conferences there are organized seminars of lifelong learning, round tables, panels, debates, workshops and a traditional exhibition of ICT, electronic and microelectronic products, services and technical solutions. Producers of such equipment, products and services are invited  to present themselves and their products.

We are open to accept proposals and ideas to possibly improve and widen the scope of our conference. Please contact us at mipro@mipro.hr and we are ready to discuss your proposals.

Welcome to the 42^nd International ICT Convention MIPRO 2019 in the always beautiful town of Opatija, town of tourism, culture, science and new technologies.

MIPRO is based on the foundations of science, technology, and economy. It was established to strengthen the economy by encouraging the development of latest technology. The strategic action plan has both scientific and economic goals. We are living in a challenging period, with constant growth of technical civilization. MIPRO has introduced ICT into globalization, personalization, and regionalism. ICT goal is to have a modern and adaptable which meets world market demands and national interests in the moment of these challenging transformations. This will be achieved by the organization of several international seminars and strategically programmed segments (thematic day, panels, tutorials, forums, and exhibitions) under the slogan "MIPRO 2018 – innovative promotional partnership".

The core event will be the Business Day, linked to several other panels. The purpose of panels is to shape clear visions and provide indispensable strategic guidelines and modifications. We hope to rapidly improve the quality of production, service and market opportunities in the ICT domain. The aim of this program is to professionally contribute to the establishment of the National Strategy 2030 and development guidelines. In the name of the International Program Committee we express our sincere gratitude to our partners and sponsors.
