<p style="text-align:justify;margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Smart 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 personalization, 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></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;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></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;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></p>

10-point font using the IEEE 8.5" x 11" two-column format. All papers
should be in PDF format, and submitted electronically at Paper Submission Link.
A full paper can be up to 8 pages (including all figures, tables and
references). Submitted papers must present original unpublished research that
is not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not
following these guidelines may be rejected without review. Also submissions received
after the due date, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured may
also not be considered. Authors may contact the Program Chair for further
information or clarification. All submissions are peer-reviewed by at least
three reviewers. Accepted papers will appear in the FMEC Proceeding, and be
published by the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services and be
submitted to IEEE Xplore for inclusion.<br>
<br>
Submitted papers must include original work, and must not be under
consideration for another conference or journal. Submission of regular papers
up to 8 pages and must follow the IEEE paper format. Please include up to 7
keywords, complete postal and email address, and fax and phone numbers of the
corresponding author. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their
work at the conference. Submitted papers that are deemed of good quality but
that could not be accepted as regular papers will be accepted as short papers.
Length of short papers can be between 4 to 6 pages.<span></span></span></p>
