engineering approaches for urbanization. Smart cities aim to exploit the
intellectual and social capital as its core ingredient for urbanization, in
addition to the physical and ICT infrastructure. Smart cities are driven by
several interdependent trends. These include a pressing need for environmental
sustainability, and peoples’ increasing demands for personalisation, mobility
and higher quality of life. Technological developments such as miniaturization
of devices, internet of things (IoT), big data, and decreasing costs of computational
entities have also accelerated the smart cities developments. <span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 8pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Smart cities encompass all aspects
of modern day life, transportation, healthcare, entertainment, work,
businesses, social interactions, governance, etc. It is therefore necessary to
engineer smart cities as complex systems of systems supported by a converged
ubiquitous infrastructure. A key challenge in the realization of smart cities
is to create an ecosystem of digital infrastructures that are able to work
together and enable dynamic real-time interactions between various smart city
subsystems. With this background, this workshop invites submissions that
propose state of the art solutions for smart cities systems engineering. <span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 8pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">A particular focus of the workshop
are the studies that involve cloud computing, fog computing, and mobile edge
computing technologies. Original articles including modelling and empirical
studies and development, as well as relevant surveys are welcome. The topics of
interest of the workshop include, but are not limited to:<br>
<br>
* IoT based developments for smart cities engineering<br>
* Big data technologies for smart cities<br>
* Modelling and analysis of smart city technologies and systems<br>
* Mobile applications for smart cities<br>
* Analytics for smart cities<br>
* Cloud computing based approaches for smart city engineering<br>
* Fog and edge computing based approaches for smart city engineering<br>
* Cloudlet based approaches for smart city engineering<br>
* Studies focussed on communication networks for smart cities<br>
* Information management for smart cities<br>
* Smart buildings, smart homes and smart energy grids<br>
* Transportation, healthcare, and governance for smart cities<br>
* Security and privacy of smart city systems<span></span></span></p>
