CfP extended due Jan. 20, 2017: AW4city 2017 3rd ACM International Smart City Workshop in Perth, Australia - Web Applications and Smart Cities: Enhancing Livability with Web Applications for smart cities
by Dr. Leonidas Anthopoulos 07 Jan '17

07 Jan '17

(Apologies for cross-posts) ----------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS AW4city 2017, 3rd International ACM Smart City Workshop: Enhancing Livability with Web Applications for smart cities In conjunction with WWW'17: 26th World Wide Web International Conference Perth, Australia, April 3, 2017 http://aw4city2017.wordpress.com Workshop Objective ---------------------------- Following up the success of past events at WWW2015 and WWW2016, AW4City 2017 aims to keep on attracting a significant international attention with regard to web applications for smart cities. The aim of this workshop is to address web-based application and Apps' design and development in the smart city and urban context. More specifically, it focuses on innovative applications smart city component and more specifically on the design and implementation of web-based applications and Apps. This component is crucial, since it addresses all the smart city dimensions: . Economy, since new types of entrepreneurship and innovative business models appear in data, creative and climate economies, and develop web applications and Apps. . Mobility, with regard to urban transportation (intelligent transportation), distance working, job offering demonstration etc. . Environment, since applications enhance resource management, transportation improvement, environmental monitoring etc. . Living, since applications enhance local life (i.e., e-learning, e-banking, e-commerce, e-tourism etc.). . People, since they concern applications' end users and . Governance, where open data and e-government applications play crucial roles in smart city operation. This year, the workshop will emphasize on the contribution of web applications and Apps to city livability. Livability stands for local quality of life and citizen satisfaction in terms of education, environment, stability, healthcare, and infrastructure. Livable Melbourne for instance, is the outcome of a development, policy and planning path, while today is the showpiece, the workplace, and the venue for the young and restless to play. In this respect, this workshop aims to demonstrate how web applications and Apps can enhance city's quality of life and citizen satisfaction (i.e., from smart service delivery; from transactions with the local government and utilities; from the existence of local online gaming, training, entertainment, business etc.). Theoretical concepts, empirical evidence and selected case studies from leading scholars and practitioners in the field showing the "big picture" of smart cities and urban areas will be examined in this workshop. This workshop aims at gathering researchers from the fields of smart cities and web application development to think about the obstacles that hurdle the leveraging of understanding and capturing of smart city trends with regard web application development that interconnect citizens, businesses and government in a smart city. AW4City 2017 is timely, since an increasing criticism is being generated that smart city represents an ambiguous urban utopia, which is supported by the partnership of local governments with big technological vendors. We target researchers from both industry and academia to join forces in this exciting area. We intend to discuss the recent and significant developments in the general areas of smart cities and web applications and to promote cross-fertilization of techniques. In particular, we aim at identifying trends and respective applications in smart cities; the potential impact of smart city in web applications; techniques from end-to-end solutions' or apps' development that will enable researchers to understand the dynamic phenomena in smart cities, as well as specify important directions for the research communities. Standards for web applications' development in smart cities is interesting for several areas such as sustainability, crisis management, marketing, security, and interoperability. To address the above mentioned aspects, we solicit the following topics (but not limited to): . Theoretical foundations on Smart City applications and standards; . Smart City management systems; . Practices of Web applications and Apps in smart cities; . Creative partnerships and creative industries in Smart City (Internet Economics and Monetization); . Pervasive Web and Mobility for Smart City emerging topics (i.e., energy, water, waste, transportation etc.) . The role of government for smart city applications development and standardization (i.e., promotion push, start-ups, open data); . Web Infrastructure standardization; . The role of standards on smart city web mining; . Smart city e-services for evaluation and benchmarking; . Smart city information quality and evolution in social content; . Ensuring security and privacy in Smart Cities: the role of web applications. Submission ------------------------------------- We welcome full research papers, research in progress, and discussion papers. Full papers should be up to 6 pages long (max 5000 words), including the abstract and appendices.

BigDat 2017: early registration January 13*To be removed from our mailing list, please respond to this message with UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject line* ******************************************************** 3rdINTERNATIONAL WINTER SCHOOL ON BIG DATA BigDat 2017 Bari, Italy February 13-17, 2017 Organized by: University of Bari "Aldo Moro" Rovira i Virgili University http://grammars.grlmc.com/BigDat2017/ ******************************************************** --- Early registration deadline: January 13, 2017 --- ******************************************************** AIM: BigDat 2017 will be a research training event with a global scope aiming at updating participants about the most recent advances in the critical and fast developing area of big data, which covers a large spectrum of current exciting research and industrial innovation with an extraordinary potential for a huge impact on scientific discoveries, medicine, engineering, business models, and society itself. Renowned academics and industry pioneers will lecture and share their views with the audience. Most big data subareas will be displayed, namely foundations, infrastructure, management, search and mining, security and privacy, and applications (to biological and health sciences, to business, finance and transportation, to online social networks, etc.). Main challenges of analytics, management and storage of big data will be identified through 4 keynote lectures, 24 six-hour courses, and 1 round table, which will tackle the most active and promising topics. The organizers are convinced that outstanding speakers will attract the brightest and most motivated students. Interaction will be a main component of the event. An open session will give participants the opportunity to present their own work in progress in 5 minutes. ADDRESSED TO: In principle, graduate students, PhD students and postdocs from around the world will be the most typical profiles. However, there are no formal pre-requisites for participation in terms of academic degrees. Since there will be differences in level, specific knowledge background may be assumed for some of the courses. BigDat 2017 is also appropriate for more senior people who want to keep themselves updated on recent developments and future trends. All will surely find it fruitful to listen and discuss with major researchers, industry leaders and innovators. REGIME: In addition to keynotes, 2-3 courses will run in parallel during the whole event. Participants will be able to freely choose the courses they wish to attend as well as to move from one to another.
