cities provide next generation 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="text-align:justify;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>
