CALL FOR PAPERS

Special Session on Big Data Analytics in Urban Computing and Smart Cities

Modern cities are facing challenging problems in terms of deterioration of environment quality, heavy traffic congestion, over-consumption of energy, and other socio-technical issues. There are multiple dimensions to this complex and taxing problem, which requires real-time analytics based on large volumes of multiple-source data sets for real-time predictions and decision-making. The research work on .urban computing. (UC) have provided solutions based on data mining techniques, which can help meet some of these challenges in urban planning and management.

Building smart cities require multi-disciplinary teams composed of researchers and practitioners working together to solve urban computing and smart city service problems. Coping with emerging challenges in engineering diverse complex cyber systems requires the use of state-of-the-art technologies and solutions in smart sensing/devices/materials, IoT, networking, cloud computing, big data, and mobile cloud services, to build innovative smart city services and application systems.

The Special Sessionp on Big Data Analytics in Urban Computing and Smart Cities is set up to provide a unique platform for multi-disciplinary researchers, industry solution vendors, and government agencies to exchange innovative ideas, research results and solutions, as well as project experience reports and stories. BDAURCSC2018 will include a highly selective program of technical papers, demos, panel discussions and keynote speeches. We welcome high-quality papers that describe original and unpublished research on the real issues, challenges and needs in building smart cities for now and future.
