to ANT 2014
The 5th International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks and Technologies (ANT-2014) is a leading international conference for researchers and industry practitioners to share their new ideas, original research results and practical development experiences from all Ambient Systems, Networks and Technologies related areas. The ANT-2014 will be held in conjunction with the International Conference on Sustainable Energy Information Technology (SEIT).
ANT 2014 will be held in the city of Hasselt. Hasselt
was founded in approximately the 7th century on the
Helbeek, a small tributary of the Demer
river. The name Hasselt came from Hasaluth, which
means hazel wood. During the Middle Ages, it became one of
the bigger towns of the county of Loon, which had
borders approximately the same as the current province of
Limburg. Hasselt is an old yet modern city which is home
to multiple academic institutions and where visitors can
enjoy a variety of activities and entertainment.
ANT 2014 is co-organized & co-hosted by the Hasselt University,
Belgium. Since 1973 Hasselt University is located on
the Campus Diepenbeek, which occupies an attractive 150
acre site in the middle of Limburg's green belt. It is 2
kms west of the town centre of Diepenbeek, a residential
town of 17.717 inhabitants, and 4 kms east of Hasselt
which has a population of about 69.529 and is the
administrative and commercial centre of the province.
Brussels is 90 kms away (to the South-West), Antwerp lies
90 kms to the West, Liege (in the French-speaking part of
Belgium) 45 kms to the South, Maastricht (in the
Netherlands) 25 kms to the East, Aachen (in Germany) 60
kms to the South-East.

(optional) Social Event @ ANT 2014
Visit to the C-mine expedition : (located in the nearby city of Genk)
C-mine expedition starts in the energy building of the C-mine site. First you descend to 6 meter deep where you get to see a lot of surprising installations. Famous artists such as Stijn Meuris and Pascale Platel made unique stories about the mine in combination with creative image projections. In the interactive sound cell you are going to get busy. Produce your own 'sound ' by levers, buttons and wheels to operate. Or sample the atmosphere while you're wondering around in the maze on the way to the topsoil.The highlight of the expedition is to climb the giant and authentic mine tower on the square. That is more than 60 meters high! Perhaps you reach the top exhausted, but the reward is greater: gorgeous views of the green surroundings of Limburg. For the slightly less ' big ' daredevil, there is a stop at 15 metres height. If you don't like heights, stay comfortable with both feet firmly on the ground. Just enjoy the open feeling on the beautifully renovated square.
