(Technically co-sponsored by IEEE UK & Ireland)

Smart cities enable to improve the traditional networks and services to 
become more efficient with the use of digital and telecommunication 
technologies, for the benefit of its inhabitants and community. Smart 
technologies lead to transform disparate data collected from machines, 
embedded systems, and sensors around the city or and turn it into valued 
information that helps make the community safe, economically viable and 
more efficient. Using this information can help drive improvements to 
the way we manage our services. Smartly interconnected platforms make it 
easier for people to securely connect and share vital information in 
real time. This powerful capability supports intelligent action in the 
moment and better-informed decision making for the long term.

Thus technologies play a signicant role in the transformation of smart 
cities. The proposed workshop will address such technologies that 
include but not necessarily the following-

Networks and Advanced Communications
Cloud
Mobility
Internet of Things (IoT)
Cyber Security and Privacy
Open-data initiatives
Parking apps
Dynamic kiosks for real-time information
Mobile payments
Machine-to-machine (M2M) technology
Self Service Models
Smart Applications
Intelligent Transport Systems

All presented papers in the conference will be published in the 
proceedings of the conference and submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital 
Library.

The workshop is co-located with the main conference.
