SCOPE 2019 - 4th International Science of Smart City Operations and Platforms Engineering in partnership with Global City Teams Challenge

The problems of ‘closing-the-loop’ in smart city application areas are compounded due to the spatial and temporal scales of operation, heterogeneity, and complexity of the underlying physical systems, their interaction with socio-economic behaviors, and risks of cybersecurity and privacy. This workshop aims to focus on these problems and the innovative solutions in this area.
Papers should describe original work and be maximum six pages in length using the CPSWeek ACM format. Submissions can fall under one or more of the following categories: (1) initial and promising research results, (2) industrial case studies, (3) position statements with sufficient justification and rationale for the proposed idea(s). At least three workshop committee members will review all submitted papers. All papers will be published in the ACM digital library. Selected high quality papers will be considered for publication (after substantial extension) in the Elsevier's Pervasive and Mobile Computing journal.
