Our traditional premier events are:
Mediterranean Conference on Embedded Computing (MECO)
International Conference on Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet-of-Things (CPS&IoT)
Summer School on Cyber Physical Systems and Internet of Things (SSCPS&IoT)
2nd ARCA Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Climate Change Hazards
Special Sessions:
Each MECO and CPSIoT conferences organize a certain number of thematic Workshops or Sessions, dedicated to challenging topics and outstanding projects. The list and CFP for this year Workshops and Sessions will be updated timely.
2nd ARCA Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Climate Change Hazards
Date:10-13 June 2026
Workshop description:
This Workshop explores how AI, machine learning, computer vision, IoT, and cyber-physical systems can detect early signs of natural and human-made disasters. Focused on Mediterranean and Balkan cross-border ecosystems, it promotes collaboration between researchers, engineers, climate scientists, and policymakers. Participants will design and evaluate AI-based systems for monitoring, alerting, and resilience, and present their work—from early ideas to advanced solutions—for protecting environments at local and regional scales.
Chairs: Maria Mirto, Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change (CMCC), Lecce, Italy
Antonio Aloisio, Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change (CMCC), Lecce, Italy
Ivana Palunko, University of Dubrovnik, Croatia
Radovan Stojanovic, University of Montenegro and MECOnet
Workshop objectives:
- Explore how machine learning, computer vision, IoT, CPS and AI i broader and narrow sense can detect early signs of natural or man made disasters.
- Design and evaluate AI platforms for monitoring, alerting, and resilience-building in different eco systems with emphasis to Mediterranean and Balkan Crossborder.
- Foster collaboration between AI researchers, climate scientists, engineers, and policy stakeholders.
- Propose feasible IoT and AI systems to protect your environment in local and larger scales.
- Present your research from basic to outstanding level on this topic
