engineering approaches for urbanization. Smart cities aim to exploit the
intellectual and social capital as its core ingredient for urbanization, in
addition to the physical and ICT infrastructure. Smart cities are driven by
several interdependent trends. These include a pressing need for environmental
sustainability, and peoples’ increasing demands for personalization, mobility
and higher quality of life. Technological developments such as miniaturization
of devices, internet of things (IoT), big data, and decreasing costs of
computational entities have also accelerated the smart cities developments. <br>
Smart cities encompass all aspects of modern day life, transportation,
healthcare, entertainment, work, businesses, social interactions, governance,
etc. It is therefore necessary to engineer smart cities as complex systems of
systems supported by a converged ubiquitous infrastructure. A key challenge in
the realization of smart cities is to create an ecosystem of digital
infrastructures that are able to work together and enable dynamic real-time
interactions between various smart city subsystems. With this background, this
workshop invites submissions that propose state of the art solutions for smart
cities systems engineering. <br>
A particular focus of the workshop are the studies that involve cloud
computing, fog computing, and mobile edge computing technologies. Original
articles including modelling and empirical studies and development, as well as
relevant surveys are welcome. The topics of interest of the workshop include,
but are not limited to:<br>
<br>
* IoT based developments for smart cities engineering<br>
* Big data technologies for smart cities<br>
* Modelling and analysis of smart city technologies and systems<br>
* Mobile applications for smart cities<br>
* Analytics for smart cities<br>
* Cloud computing based approaches for smart city engineering<br>
* Fog and edge computing based approaches for smart city engineering<br>
* Cloudlet based approaches for smart city engineering<br>
* Studies focused on communication networks for smart cities<br>
* Information management for smart cities<br>
* Smart buildings, smart homes and smart energy grids<br>
* Transportation, healthcare, and governance for smart cities<br>
* Security and privacy of smart city systems<span></span></span></p>

submitted electronically at Paper Submission Link. A full paper can be up to 6
pages (including all figures, tables and references). Submitted papers must
present original unpublished research that is not currently under review for
any other conference or journal. Papers not following these guidelines may be
rejected without review. Also submissions received after the due date,
exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured may also not be
considered. Authors may contact the Program Chair for further information or
