Leuven is the capital of the province of Flemish Brabant in Belgium. It is located about 25 kilometres (16 miles) east of Brussels. It is the 10th largest municipality in Belgium and the fourth in Flanders. Leuven is home to the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, the largest and oldest university of the Low Countries and the oldest Catholic university still in existence. The related university hospital of UZ Leuven, is one of the largest hospitals of Europe. The city is also known for being the headquarters of Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world's largest brewer and one of the five largest consumer-goods companies in the world. Leuven's Town Hall is one of the best-known Gothic town halls worldwide and Leuven's pride and joy. It took three architects and thirty years to build it. Leuven's 'Hall of Fame' features 236 statues, which were only added to the fa ade after 1850. There are 220 men and 16 women in total. On the bottom floor are famous Leuven scientists, artists and historical figures, dressed in Burgundian garb. The first floor is reserved for the patron saints of the various parishes of Leuven. Above them the fa ade is adorned by the counts and dukes of Brabant while the towers primarily feature biblical figures. ANT 2019 will be held in conjunction with the 2nd International Conference on Emerging Data and Industry 4.0 (EDI40, http://cs-conferences.acadiau.ca/edi40-19/). -------------------------------------------------------------- Conference Tracks: - Agent Systems, Intelligent Computing and Applications - Big Data and Analytics - Cloud Computing - Context-awareness and Multimodal Interfaces - Emerging Networking, Tracking and Sensing Technologies - Human Computer Interaction - Internet of Things - Mobile Networks, Protocols and Applications - Modeling and Simulation in Transportation Sciences - Multimedia and Social Computing - Service Oriented Computing for Systems & Applications - Smart, Sustainable Cities and Climate Change Management - Smart Environments and Applications - Systems Security and Privacy - Systems Software Engineering - Vehicular Networks and Applications - General Track -------------------------------------------------------------- Committees: General Chairs: Atta Badii, University of Reading, UK Albert Zomaya, The University of Sydney, Australia --------------- Program Chairs: Hossam Hassanein, Queen's University, Canada Ansar-Ul-Haque Yasar, IMOB - Hasselt University, Belgium --------------- Local Chair: Yves Vanrompay, Hasselt University, Belgium --------------- Workshops Chair: Stéphane Galland, UTBM, France Program --------------- Advisory Committee: Reda Alhajj, University of Calgary, Canada Abdelfettah Belghith, University of Manouba, Tunisia Sajal K.
