 CFP: Smart City and Ubiquitous Computing Applications Workshop

(co-located with WoWMoM 2013, Madrid 4-7 June 2013)  

 

 

Call for Papers 

 

As the world experiences unprecedented urban growth, decision makers have 
become very alert calling

for urgent solutions to the resulting issues and newly identified problems. 
Fortunately, the recent advances

in information and communication technologies may stimulate new solutions 
towards the urbanization

problems. As a result, research and industrial efforts are beginning to focus 
on work in that direction and

towards Smart Sustainable Cities; the aim is to integrate and validate ICT 
technologies and services in 

neighborhoods to make progress towards intelligent cities by exploiting 
ubiquitous technologies. 

In addition to technical developments, attention is given to innovative service 
business models which include security, safety and privacy issues. The need to 
improve our understanding of cities, however, is pressed not only by the social 
relevance of urban environments, but also by the availability of new strategies 
for city-scale interventions that are enabled by emerging technologies.

This workshop aims to showcase latest advances in Smart City and Ubiquitous 
Computing applications which are the result of research efforts that 
incorporate new technologies from the areas of mobile communications, 
multimedia services, data storage and handling and ubiquitous services. 

 

The workshop covers (but is not limited to) the following areas:

 

Urban Analysis and Modeling: 

- data-driven analysis of economic activity, human behavior, mobility patterns, 
resource consumption

- Designing new cities through evidence-based processes

- Parametric urban design tools to schematically define mobility nodes, 
streets, buildings and location of resources

- Development of nested compact urban cells (walkable neighborhoods) 

- Urban energy, mobility, water, food, and waste simulator for new, post-oil 
cities 

- Typology of streetscapes, pathways, mobility nodes, and responsive technology 
for cities 

 

Mobility Networks: 

- Multi-modal mobility recommendation engines 

- New urban vehicles including electric scooters, automobiles, bike-lane 
vehicles, etc. 

- Autonomous vehicle technology and vehicle-pedestrian interfaces 

- Scheduling, charging and security technology for shared-use vehicle systems 

- Electronic parking systems 

- Multimedia pervasive computing for smart cities 

 

Electronic and Social Networks:

- New network-centric methods for managing reactive, data-driven city systems 

- Social, multimedia and ubiquitous computing for smart cities 

- Urban-scale serious games to shape use of resources such as shared-used 
mobility 

- Systems tailored for more stable, fair, and socially efficient services 

 

Work and living places 

- Personalized, transformable urban housing 

- Variable-rate power, and flexible workspaces 

- Time-shifted, shared space-on-demand for collaborative work 

- Sensing and algorithms to understand fine-grained human activity

- Responsive lighting, HVAC, health, energy conservation, and communication in 
the home and work
