pricing and user experience.
We are interested in papers that address Quality of Service (QoS) related issues in the
context of Smart City systems, applications and services including, but not limited to the
following application domains:
Intelligent Traffic Management

Smart Transportation
Smart Buildings
Internet of Things for Smart Cities
E-Government Services
Emergency Management
Social Computing & Networks
Environment and Urban Monitoring
E-Health Systems
