IISLab member Daniel Šolc attended the 12th International Conference on Smart Computing (IEEE SMARTCOMP 2026), held at the University of Messina, Italy, from June 22 to 25, 2026. The conference brings together researchers working across smart computing, including edge and pervasive computing, the Internet of Things, machine learning, and intelligent transportation systems.

At the co-located Workshop on Smart Moving (SMVG), he presented the research paper titled "A Semantic Digital Twin for Occlusion-Aware Cooperative Collision Prediction." The work introduces an edge-hosted semantic digital twin that fuses V2X messages into RDF triples and combines ontology-based reasoning with a lightweight Bayesian risk model to anticipate vehicle collision risk at occluded intersections — before a direct line of sight between the vehicles is established. The research was carried out in collaboration with researchers from the University of California, Irvine (UCI).

Participation in IEEE SMARTCOMP 2026 gave IISLab the opportunity to present its work on semantic perception for autonomous driving, exchange ideas with the international research community, and follow the latest advances in smart and connected mobility.
