Smart City and Ubiquitous Computing Applications Workshop (SCUCA)
(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
