Towards Smart City Services and Infrastructures

Building smart cities require close collaborations among multi-disciplinary 
teams composed of researchers and practitioners to solve urban computing and 
smart city service problems. To cope with emerging challenges in engineering 
diverse complex cyber systems for smart cities, it is critical to adopt 
state-of-the-art technologies and solutions to build innovative smart city 
services and application systems. Such advanced technologies include smart 
sensing/devices/materials, IoT, networking, cloud computing, big data, machine 
learning, and mobile cloud services.Typical researchareas cover smart city 
transportation, clean environment, city utilities, public health, safety and 
security, smart government, community, social services, community connectivity, 
and soon. The 2nd IEEE International Conference on Smart City Innovations 
(IEEE SCI 2018) aims to provide a unique platform for multi-disciplinary 
researchers and teams, industry solution vendors, and government agencies to 
exchange innovative ideas, challenges, research results and solutions, as well 
as project experience reports and stories.

The IEEE SCI 2018 will include a highly selective program of technical papers, 
accompanied by workshops, demos, panel discussions and keynote speeches. We 
welcome high-quality papers that describe original and unpublished research 
addressing theory, modeling and methodologies for building smart cities, as 
well as case studies, challenges and needs in building smart cities. The IEEE 
SCI 2018 focuses on Smart City Services and Infrastructures. Topics of interest 
include, but are not limited to the following: 

Theory, Modeling and Methodologies
- Smart city networking, services and infrastructures
- Smart environment modeling, monitoring, prediction and analysis
- Smart city frameworks, platforms, and methodologies
- Smart city big data, open data, and urban computing
- Smart utilities, consumption, sensing and IoT
- Smart communities and neighborhoods
- Modeling security, safety and privacy for smart city
- Mobile cloud computing for smart city services
- Smart green city solutions and methodologies

Applications and Industry Practice
