CFP:  Second IEEE International Workshop On GlObal Trends in SMART Cities 
(goSMART)
(in conjunction with IEEE LCN 2013)
Sydney, Australia
21-24 October 2013
Web: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~gosmart

More than half of the world's population lives in urban areas today. The 
current trend of unprecedented migration from rural areas to urban centers is 
expected to continue in the near future. This increasing urbanization has 
placed continuous and increasing pressure upon infrastructure, residential and 
commercial properties, and social communities. Cities of the future can be 
models of environmental efficiency, because increased density and better 
management reduce the cost of service delivery, promote innovation, and enable 
prosperity through economic development.

The goSMART workshop will bring together academics, researchers and 
practitioners from around the world to discuss and exchange ideas on recent 
developments, current research challenges and future directions in the use of 
networking, communications, IT systems, applications and service to realize 
smart communities of the future.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to  

- sensor networks for large-scale urban sensing
- smart grid and efficient energy management
- deployment issues for smart infrastructure in urban areas
- traffic management and efficiency
- mechanisms to measure quality of life of communities
- participatory sensing for smart cities
- security and privacy implications
- methods to reduce carbon footprint of cities
- mechanisms for motivating behavior change towards sustainability
- experimental testbeds and simulation environments
- smart clouds for management of large-scale data
- service delivery and logistics planning

Submitted papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the field. 
Proceedings of the workshop will be published together with those of IEEE LCN, 
and will be available in digital format from the IEEE Explore Digital Library.

Authors are invited to submit original unpublished work, not currently under 
review by another conference, workshop or journal. Full papers should be 
restricted to 8 camera-ready pages (in 10 pt font, double column, US letter 
size, 8.5 x 11 inches, IEEE format), including text, figures and references. 
Authors should use only standard fonts, i.e. Times Roman, Courier, Symbol, 
Helvetica or equivalent. Papers must be submitted electronically via EDAS. All 
papers must include title, complete contact information of all authors, 
abstract and up to 5 keywords on the cover page. The corresponding author must 
be clearly identified.
