CONFERENCE BACKGROUND:
Technology and arising solutions are fast penetrating practically all areas
and facets of our life; from pocket and werable automation, to robotic
companions, to home and building automation, to energy and transportation
systems, to city/urban automation. In future: space colonies.
Societal Automation, as this rapidly expanding human-centered technology
penetration of our life can be called, has many aims: to make human-made
engineering systems intuitive and safe in use; to strive to improve quality
of our life; to provide comfortable and safe living habitat without degrading
the surrounding natural environment; to observe our privacy, body and
psychological integrity to mention some – in addition to fulfilling other
geo-engineering requirements and societal needs.
The first in the series conference on Societal Automation will attempt to look
in a holistic way at the Societal Automation domain in order to try to determine
what solutions, technologies, architectural frameworks, and design tools are
going to be needed in the design, development and deployment of future
human-centered life-quality improving solutions and systems, as well as (ultra)
complex engineering systems to provide us with a living habitat and supporting
infrastructure. The most crucial, however, are the expectations of us,
individuals without major say in the Societal Automation evolution to ensure
the developments serve our interest and do not threaten our privacy, body
and psychological integrity, and safety in general.

ABOUT LOCATION:
KRAKOW is one of the most attractive cities in Europe. Featuring a medieval old
town with the largest town square in Europe. The Old Town is packed with
medieval and renesanse era quarters, and sacral buildings dating back to the
romanesque period. Krakow is also one of the cultural centers of the Eastern
Europe. Monteverdi, Vivaldi, Bach, Mozart, and Penderecki are performed every
day in magnificent sacral environments. Art galleries and exhibitions of modern
art are in abundance. The Krakow’s town square restaurants are buzzing with
life till early morning hours. The Krakow’s airport is located just 8 km from
the city center, accessible from most of urban centers in the EU. Taxi from
the airport to the city center costs on average EUR 20. Bus (30 minutes ride)
EUR 1.5. Train EUR 2.5.
