(with apologies for cross-postings)

Dear Colleagues,

IEEE ISC2 is the flagship Conference series of IEEE Smart Cities
Initiative. Its 2020’s edition will be a fully virtual event and is
especially welcoming Workshop and Tutorial proposals on topics related to
Smart Cities, which might be a subject of interest to some people in this
community and to some associates from your networks.

Many thanks in advance for considering this possibility. You can find more
information on Workshop and Tutorial proposals on the Conference Website at
(http://ieee-isc2.org). Please, help us disseminate this CFP widely.

Thanks,
Rosaldo

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 6th IEEE International Smart Cities Conference (ISC2 2020) will be held
as a virtual conference, during September 28 – October 1, 2020. The
worldwide governmental restrictions on travel, gatherings, and meetings,
imposed to limit and slow the spread of the novel corona-virus, make it
impossible to organize the conference in the traditional format. However,
we are confident that the changes induced by the virus to our everyday
lives, and the responses given to these new challenges by smart city
researchers and practitioners, city policymakers and administrators,
critical infrastructure operators and industry representatives, economists
and sociologists will generate exciting and edifying presentations and
discussions, both as part of our keynote addresses, panel debates,
workshops or research talks. After all, one of the main reasons for cities
becoming smart should be to safely and efficiently support us, citizens, in
such difficult times. The theme of the conference this year will thus
be: *Smart
Cities Solutions for New Challenges, Including a Pandemic*.

IEEE ISC2 is the flagship conference sponsored by the IEEE Smart Cities
Technical Community, a coalition of six IEEE technical societies and
organizations. Besides contributions addressing the conference theme,
authors are welcome to submit their original research results in
