WiMobCity 2014 - ACM International Workshop on Wireless and Mobile Technologies for Smart Cities (WiMobCity)

*ACM International Workshop on Wireless and Mobile Technologies for Smart Cities (WiMobCity)*
Organized in conjunction with
*ACM International Symposium on Mobile Ad Hoc Networking and Computing (MobiHoc)*
Philadelphia, PA, USA
August 11-14, 2014

WiMobCity is a workshop co-located with ACM MobiHoc, the premier international symposium dedicated to addressing challenges emerging from wireless ad-hoc networking and computing. The highly selective technical program of ACM MobiHoc has traditionally brought together a unique blend of researchers and practitioner,s thereby influencing the direction of a broad spectrum of wireless networking research.
It is widely acknowledged that Smart Cities will drive sustainable economic growth in the next years and ICT represents one of the enabling factors for their actual implementation. The problem of efficiently supporting applications and services for Smart Cities in complex, distributed and diverse environments has been and is continuing to be the subject of intense research investigation. Wireless and Mobile Technologies play an essential role in the new and challenging scenario of Smart Cities and its related areas (e.g. smart mobility, smart environment, smart government, smart education, smart culture and tourism, etc.).
*Topics of interest*
The main purpose of the WiMobCity Workshop is to bring together researchers, academics, and developers in the field of Smart Cities (and in particular on the related topics of Wireless and Mobile communication technologies and networking) in order to share new findings, exchange ideas, discuss research challenges and report latest research efforts that cover a variety of topics including, but not limited to:
Communication technologies, architectures and wireless/mobile protocols (WiFi / LTE / 4G)
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Near Field Communication (NFC) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) communication technologies
Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications
Quality of Service (QoS) / Quality of Experience (QoE) mechanisms
Green and energy efficient technologies
Security and privacy communication issues for Smart Cities
Data management and access methods (cloud, crowdsourcing, etc.)
Pervasive Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile computing
Innovative applications and services for sustainable cities
Business models, billing approaches and new services for Smart Cities
Smart Cities deployments, platforms, test-beds and field trials
Standardization activities for Smart Cities
