There is an urgent need for extensible, resilient, and flexible platforms and architectures for challenges in Smart Cities. Participants in the workshop will exchange ideas on these and allied topics, including:
Critical infrastructure modeling, simulation, and (real-time) control: Multi-tiered architecture and frameworks that can integrate applications across domains:Water management, water quality, and flooding.Evolving landscape and uncertainties with mixed energy generation, and storage technologies.Disaster resilience and recovery.Improving transportation operations, rideshare, parking, and sustainability impacts of autonomous vehicles.Heath, wellness, and human services at city scales:Mapping pollution and air quality.How can cities deliver social services more efficiently?Modeling the spread of adverse health conditions.Measuring the wellbeing of citizens and communities.Predict and minimize the effect of service disruptions.Secure and resilient cities:Interactions between privacy, security, resilience, reliability, and safety from both theoretical and operational perspectives and lightweight cyber physical virtualization technologies that ensure both cyber and physical resources can be accessed simultaneously and safely by multiple applications.Social media data and public safety issues.Predict major infrastructure failures before they happen.Technologies for city-scale data gathering, and analysis:Platforms and frameworks for solving the challenge of integrating heterogeneous and cross-domain data.Platforms for engaging communities, citizen science, crowdsourcing, and using the 'wisdom of the crowd' for city applications.Interactive and predictive analytics for smart cities; using data to inform policies.Making OpenData and similar data-sets available to the research community.
