SCOPE
The Internet of AI Things (IoAT) represents an emerging paradigm in which artificial intelligence is natively embedded within networked sensing infrastructures to enable autonomous, context-aware, and intelligent decision-making. In the geospatial domain, IoAT enables real-time integration of heterogeneous spatial sensors, remote sensing platforms, edge intelligence, and AI-driven analytics for understanding complex Earth and societal systems. This special session focuses on IoAT-enabled geo-spatial intelligence for sustainable development, environmental monitoring, urban resilience, and future Earth applications. By combining AI, sensing, spatial data analytics, and distributed intelligence, the session addresses challenges in geospatial data processing, and adaptive modeling. The session aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working across GIS, AI, IoT, and sustainability to advance intelligent, scalable, and actionable geo-spatial systems.
