Special session
Human intelligence and emerging technologies, such as AI, agentic IoT, and Digital Twins, bring complementary strengths to address complex societal and environmental challenges.
Human intelligence and emerging technologies, such as AI, agentic IoT, and Digital Twins, bring complementary strengths to address complex societal and environmental challenges. While AI excels at processing large amounts of data, identifying patterns, and generating recommendations, humans contribute contextual knowledge, critical thinking, values, and collective judgement. Humanized Computing brings these capabilities together through Human-AI Collaboration, Citizen Science, and Reciprocal Learning, enabling people and intelligent systems to learn from each other and make better decisions. Moving beyond human-in-the-loop approaches, this vision explores how citizens, communities, and AI systems can share decision-making responsibilities, negotiate autonomy levels, and co-govern sustainability transitions.
At SpliTech 2027, the Special Session Humanized Computing: Human-AI Collaboration and Co-Governance for Sustainability will explore how these synergies can support more inclusive, transparent, accountable, and sustainable decisions.
Key themes include:
→ Combining Citizen Science, Collective Intelligence, and emerging technologies to support participatory decision-making.
→ Exploring Reciprocal Learning, Human-AI collaboration, and adaptive levels of autonomy and AI delegation.
→ Designing community-in-the-loop governance approaches that ensure human agency, transparency, and accountability.
→ Co-creating solutions for sustainability challenges, including climate action, air quality, sustainable mobility, and resilient communities.
Workshop
Collaborative health research requires access to sensitive data distributed across institutions, while preserving confidentiality, institutional control and accountability.
Collaborative health research requires access to sensitive data distributed across institutions, while preserving confidentiality, institutional control and accountability. These challenges are particularly relevant in paediatric transplantation, where combining clinical, genomic and epigenetic information across hospitals can support research into rare complications and long-term outcomes.
This proposed workshop will explore the Secure Processing Environment (SPE) approach being developed within PROTECT-CHILD, a European project supporting collaborative research in paediatric transplantation. The architecture brings computation to data through institution-controlled environments, or “capsules”, coordinated through a federated orchestration layer. Its objective is to enable authorised analyses across participating institutions without requiring a central repository of patient-level data.
The workshop will examine how this approach combines isolated execution environments, identity and access management, and Zero Trust principles with interoperable data services. Particular attention will be given to the relationship between local institutional governance and cross-site coordination: how an analysis is authorised, executed and traced, and how its outputs should be assessed before release. Clinical data harmonisation using OMOP and FHIR will provide the context for discussing federated statistical analysis, genomic and epigenetic workflows, and collaborative AI model development.
Using an illustrative research workflow, the workshop will connect architectural choices with practical implementation challenges, including heterogeneous hospital infrastructures, reproducibility, operational complexity and the risk of sensitive information being disclosed through analytical outputs.
The discussion will explore how these design choices can support alignment with the European Health Data Space and identify priorities for technical validation. Participants will gain a concrete architectural perspective on SPEs and a basis for discussing reusable approaches to secure, interoperable and accountable health research across institutions.
Keywords: Secure Processing Environments; federated analytics; Zero Trust; health data interoperability; European Health Data Space; paediatric transplantation.
Tutorial
Tutorials on human exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs), based on rigorous electromagnetic field theory and related numerical solution methods, have been regularly delivered by D. Poljak and M. Cvetković at SpliTech conferences over the years.
Tutorials on human exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs), based on rigorous electromagnetic field theory and related numerical solution methods, have been regularly delivered by D. Poljak and M. Cvetković at SpliTech conferences over the years. Traditionally, these tutorials have provided detailed mathematical formulations and computational approaches, primarily targeting senior researchers, postdoctoral researchers, and PhD students working in the field.
Contrary to such an approach 2026 Tutorial edition aimed to offer a beginner’s guide on the subject for much broader audience. This variant of the Tutorial omitted entire mathematical/physical language and acceptable for anyone interested in the subject without requesting mathematical skills as a prerequisite. Such an approach partly follows the style of some papers published by the authors in Journal Replica and numerous interviews given in various media for decades.
An outcome was rather successful event followed by a fruitful and lively discussion between the Tutorial presenters and the participants. To sum up, by having skipped mathematical rigor some important information easily meet the public and phenomenological and basic physical explanation on this hot topic being of public interest for decades were transferred to broader audience. In short, the participants obtained some principal ideas on basic concepts, the known health effects, the actual national/international exposure limits and typical levels of the electric and magnetic fields in the environments.
Also, the Tutorial presenters got some useful response from the participants how to improve the future editions of the Tutorial.
The actual version of this ‘beginner’s guide Tutorial’ keeps the basic structure of the previous edition but at the same time contains much more easy language explanations. Tutorial starts by addressing some general environmental aspects of electromagnetic fields, coupling mechanisms between human body and EMFs, well-established biological effects of EMFs from static to high-frequency range, international safety guidelines related to limiting exposures to those fields, including relevant exposure limits, basic electromagnetic-thermal dosimetry concepts and some recent findings pertaining to activities undertaken within the framework of IEEE ICES working groups, which Tutorial presenters participated (WG2, WG3, WG5 and WG7) and IRPA TG NIR will be reported.
Real world scenarios pertain to power lines, transformer substations, PLC systems, RFID antennas, Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) systems and radio base stations (2G/3G/4G and 5G technology).
Illustrative computational examples pertain to typical realistic exposure scenarios, such as; pregnant woman/foetus exposed to low frequency (LF) fields, the human eye, the brain, the eye and the entire human head exposed to HF radiation. In particular, for exposure within GHz frequency range, several tissue models, from rather simple to more realistic, will be addressed.
The obtained results for relevant EMF quantities are compared against exposure limits proposed by ICNIRP (International Commission on Non Ionizing Radiation Protection).
This is followed by some examples of biomedical applications of electromagnetic fields, including the transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), transcranial electrical stimulation (TES), but also some electrotherapy and magnetotherapy techniques. Also, some illustrative examples pertaining to thermal modeling of certain ophthalmological procedures will be given.
