I-TASC 2013 - Second International Workshop on Technologies and Applications for Smart Cities (I-TASC ’13)

Second International Workshop on Technologies and Applications for Smart Cities
(I-TASC ’13)
Next Generation Technologies that enable Smart Cities
Several enabling technologies need to come together to realise a smart city. In the spirit of the Gather-Consolidate-Govern framework, it appears that the larger focus has been at either ends by technologists and by policy makers. Efforts in the consolidation space are only emerging and focus on it is necessary and critical to the realisation of a smart city. The workshop intends to facilitate the interaction between the Gather communities and the consolidation community and in-turn facilitate the interaction of these communities with the Govern community by way of invited keynotes/panels.
The topics of interest are multi-disciplinary but broadly based on communications, application development and ‘big data’. Special focus is on reporting experiments with community interaction.
The proceedings of the workshop will be published by IEEE CPS, IEEE Xplore and IEEE Computer Society digital libraries (CSDL) and indexed through IEE INSPEC, EI (Compendex), Thomson ISI, and other indexing services.
The workshop is divided into two tracks ? one on Next Generation Communication Technologies that enable Smart City Infrastructure and the other on Application Development and Data Handling for Smart Cities. Authors are encouraged to submit position papers, surveys, experiments & results and deployments. Papers should be in IEEE format may be submitted via the EDAS by 15 May 2012 to I-TASC 2013.
