Scope
Technology is a key component of urban evolution towards sustainability. The Smart Technologies and Cities section publishes high-quality fundamental and applied research in all aspects of technology that contribute to solutions to cities’ sustainability and livability challenges. Urban-scale challenges require a breadth of potentially interacting novel technologies, including sensors that provide real-time data about a city, technologies that communicate and analyze that data to provide knowledge, and technologies that facilitate change based on that knowledge. Furthermore, these novel technologies need to consider ethics, privacy and security.
Areas covered by this section include, but are not limited to:
- Smart mobility systems
- Smart buildings
- Smart urban waste management
- Smart urban water management
- Smart urban pollution management
- Smart energy management
- Smart health-care
- Technologies for data/knowledge collection in cities
- Technologies for analysis of urban data
- Technologies for enabling decision-making in city management
- Technologies for enabling actuation of city management decisions
- Citizen engagement in smart technologies – their design, evaluation, deployment and use
- Technologies for crowdsourcing
- Ethical decision-making using smart technologies
- Technologies for privacy and security of citizen’s data
- Technologies for equity
The focus of this section is on technologies that go beyond the state of the art in sensors, actuators, Artificial Intelligence, information management, decision support and prediction.
