 The First International Conference on Universal Village

16-17 Jan, 2013 Beijing, China  

http://universal-village.org/

This is the call-for-paper to cordially invite you to participate in the 
first International Conference on Universal Village (UV2013) to be held 
on January 16-17, 2013 in Beijing. MIT Universal Village Program at 
Intelligent Transportation Research Center (MIT ITRC) is the founding 
organizer of the conference. We are collaborating with Tsinghua 
University and Fujitsu Research Center in China to co-host the 
conference at Tsinghua University in Beijing. IEEE Intelligent 
Transportation Systems Society (IEEE ITSS) is the technical co-sponsor 
of the conference. Details of the conference are available at 
www.universal-village.org.

The "Universal Village" represents our vision for the future society, 
and comprises the following aspects: multi-functional multi-format 
communities and a new life style incorporating the ideal mixture of city 
and suburban areas. The new vision demands a systematic top-down design 
approach to provide practical solutions to challenges arising from 
current urbanization trends and to improve the quality of life using 
modern technologies.

The conference will explore technologies that may bring true 
intelligence to the Universal Village as well as its major subsystems, 
including intelligent health care, intelligent transportation, 
intelligent environment, intelligent energy management and protection of 
the environment. The conference will address not only the design, 
development, implementation and engineering of the whole system and its 
intelligent subsystems, but also the technical details on infrastructure 
layer, informational layer and new materials, etc. The conference will 
focus on promoting the research on the integration and dynamic 
interactions among different components of urbanization and the dynamic 
impact of sub-components on the system as a whole.  Furthermore, the 
conference will discuss how to effectively collaborate among different 
research fields and among different organizations including government, 
academic and industries. The conference will elaborate the regional and 
culture factors as well as their impacts on the choices of regional 
development paths and the key technologies appropriate for different 
countries and regions, and venues of potential international 
collaboration. Besides these technical aspects, the conference covers 
the human and social aspects of the Universal Village, the impact of the 
new vision on life style, economics, and future society.
