SSC 2024 - 10th IEEE International Workshop on Sensors and Smart Cities

CALL FOR PAPERS

[Apologies if you got multiple copies of this email]

The 10th IEEE International Workshop on Sensors and Smart Cities
In conjunction with IEEE International Conference on Smart Computing (SMART=
COMP 2024)
29th June - 2th July, 2024, Osaka, Japan
http://ssc2024.unime.it

A smart city represents an improvement of today=92s cities both functionall=
y and structurally, that strategically utilizes many smart factors,
such as information and communications technology (ICT), to increase the ci=
ty=92s sustainable growth and strengthen city functions, while ensuring
citizens=92 quality of life and health. Cities can be viewed as a microcosm=
 of =93objects=94 with which citizens interact daily: street furniture,
public buildings, transportation, monuments, public lighting and much more.=
 Moreover, a continuous monitoring of a city=92s status occurs through
sensors and processors applied within the real-world infrastructure. The In=
ternet of Things (IoT) concept imagines all these objects being =93smart=94=
,
connected to the Internet, and able to communicate with each other and with=
 the external environment, interacting and sharing data and information.
Each object in the IoT can be both the collector and distributor of informa=
tion regarding mobility, energy consumption, air pollution as well as
potentially offering cultural and tourist information. As a consequence, cy=
ber and real worlds are strongly linked in a smart city.
New services can be deployed when needed and evaluation mechanisms will be =
set up to assess the health and success of a smart city.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together innovative developments in ar=
eas related to sensors and smart cities, including but not limited to:

* computing and sensing infrastructures
* cost (of node, energy, development, deployment, maintenance)
* communication (security, resilience, low energy)
* adaptability (to environment, energy, faults)
* data processing (on nodes, distributed, aggregation, discovery, big data)
* self-learning (pattern discovery, prediction, auto-configuration)
* deployment (cost, error prevention, localization)
* maintenance (troubleshooting, recurrent costs)
* applications (both new and enjoying new life)
* smart users experience
* trust and privacy
* crowdsourcing, crowdsensing, participatory sensing
* cognition and awareness
* cyber-physical systems
* smart tourism
Both review articles and original research papers relating to sensors and s=
mart cities are solicited. There is particular interest for papers with adv=
ances towards practical experiences and services overcoming the adoption ba=
rriers for sensors and smart cities.
Submission Guidelines
Paper submissions should be no longer than 6 pages with a font size of 10 u=
sing the IEEE conference template. Papers must be submitted electronically =
as PDF files. All submitted papers will be subject to single blind peer rev=
iews by Technical Program Committee members and other experts in the field.=
 All presented papers in the conference will be published in the proceeding=
s of the conference and submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Autho=
rs are requested to first register their submissions and submit their manus=
cripts in PDF format via EDAS (https://edas.info/N32033). Note that at leas=
t one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop t=
o present the paper. Failure to present the paper at the workshop will resu=
lt in the withdrawal of the paper from the Proceedings.

For further instructions on how to prepare your manuscript, please consult =
the IEEE Author Digital Toolbox.
