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.
