Call-for-Papers International Workshop on Semantic Technology for Smart Cities (STSC2013) http://wasp.cs.vu.nl/stsc/stsc2013/ The notion of smart cities has been introduced as a strategic device to encompass modern urban production factors in a common framework and to highlight the growing importance of Information and Communication Technologies, social and environmental capital in profiling the competitiveness of cities. Smart cities drive sustainable economic growth and prosperity for their citizens. Their leaders have the tools to analyze data for better decisions, anticipate problems to resolve them proactively and coordinate resources to operate effectively. That appeals for new technology for urban computing to deal with large scale, heterogeneous, noisy, dynamic, and inconsistent data. The semantic technology provides an effect and efficient solution for the data interoperability in urban computing to build smart cities. This international workshop on Semantic Technology for Smart Cities (STSC) is designed to be a discussion forum for researchers who are interested in the research and development of semantic technology for applications in urban computing. =================== Event Information =================== The list of the covered topics includes but not limited to: Development of semantic applications in urban computing Semantic infrastructure for smart cities Intelligent transportation systems Geographic semantic data processing and reasoning Linking geographic data Traffic predication and route planning Semantic systems for road sign management Reasoning and processing with noisy and inconsistent data Scalable data processing for urban computing Decision support systems for urban computing Information services for smart cities The workshop will take place during the 14th International Conference on Web Information System Engineering (WISE2013), October 13th-15th, Nanjing, China, as a full-day event. Please note that for every accepted paper at least one of the authors must attend the workshop and must register for the workshop and the main conference. Submission of a paper is not required for attendance at the workshop. However, in the event that the workshop cannot accommodate all who would like to participate, those who have submitted a paper will be given priority. =============== Important Dates =============== July 18th, 2013, Submission of papers August 18th, 2013, Notification of acceptance Sept 10th, 2013, Camera-ready version due Oct 13th, 2013, Workshop ============== Organization ============== Chairs Tony Lee, Saltlux Inc., Seoul, South Korea Jun Fang, School of Automation, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi'an, China Zhisheng Huang, Vrije University Amsterdam, the Netherlands Program Committee Spyros Kotoulas, the Smarter Cities Technology Center, IBM Ireland Frank van Harmelen, Vrije University Amsterdam, the Netherlands Yi Huang, Siemens, Germany Haofen Wang, Shanghai Jiaotong University, China Zhiqiang Gao, Southeast University, China Alexey Cheptsov, High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart, Germany Jiancheng Weng, Beijing University of Technology, China Ning Zhong, Maebashi Institute of Technology, Japan Zengyu Duan, Tongji University, China Dongyuan Yang, Tongji University, China Wei Hu, Nanjing University, China Qinghua Liu, Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, China Zhi Wang, Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, China Tony Lee, Saltlux Inc., Seoul, South Korea Jun Fang, Northwestern Polytechnical University, China Zhisheng Huang, Vrije University Amsterdam, the Netherlands ============== Submissions ============= The workshop invites full papers (up to 14 pages).
