Special session on Data-driven Smart Cities within The 2018 IEEE International Conference on Smart Data (SmartData-2018)

DASC 2018


Engineering & Computer Science (General)



In recent years, with the growing interest to Internet of Things (IoT), cities are getting equipped with ICT technologies to improve their efficiency and quality of life of their inhabitants, therefore transforming themselves into Smart Cities. There are different perspectives on the development of smart cities. Some focus on integrating ICT into urban environments and on performing complex analytics, modelling, and optimization for cross-sector collaboration and better operational decisions; others on sustainability, wealth and comfort support and people and community needs. Data is the key ingredient and enabler for the vision and realization of Smart Cities.
This Special session on Data-driven Smart Cities (DASC 2018) aims to gather professionals from municipalities,industry, and academia focusing on different aspects of Smart City. The purpose of the session is to discuss the latest scientific results and practical use cases, identify the opportunities and challenges of novel best methods and practices on data-driven smart cities.
Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research, methods, and use cases in Smart Cities.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
Data management and infrastructures in the smart city
- Data acquisition, preprocessing, and storage
- Data representations
- IoT solutions and frameworks
- Crowdsourcing and Mobile computing
- Data management frameworks and platforms
Data processing and analytics for the smart city
