*The 3rd IEEE INFOCOM Workshop on Smart Cites and Urban Computing @ Atlanta, GA, USA, 1 May, 2017* *Official Webpage on INFOCOM 2017 Website: *http://infocom2017. ieee-infocom.org/workshop/smartcity-smart-cities-and-urban-computing

*Scope of workshop*

Cities around the world are currently under quick transition towards providing a low carbon environment, high quality of living, and resource efficient economy. Urban performance depends not only on the city's endowment of hard infrastructure, but also on the availability and quality of knowledge communication and social infrastructure. There is a growing importance of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), social and environmental capital in profiling the competitiveness of cities.

Information and communication systems play a critical role in building smart cities and supporting comprehensive urban informatics. Extensive research is taking place on a wide range of enabling technologies, including cloud and network infrastructure, wireless sensing and actuation technologies, mobile crowdsourcing, social networking, real time data stream processing and big data analytics for smart cities. This brings together citizens and integrates technologies and services such as transportation, broadband communications, buildings, healthcare, social care, emergency response, and other utilities. Advanced communication and computing techniques can facilitate a participatory approach for achieving integrated solutions and creating novel applications to improve urban life and build sustainable societies.

The main purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers/academics/industries in the field of system, networking and communication to discuss major challenges, research problems, and potential applications to support smart cities and urban informatics. We are expected to share new findings, exchange ideas, discuss research challenges and report latest research efforts that cover a variety of topics including, but not limited to:

Application, deployment, testbed, and experiment experiences in smart cities Big data in urban informatics Cloud computing and network infrastructure in smart cities 5G and next generation of Cellular networks in smart cities Delay tolerant networks and systems for urban data collection E-health and connected healthcare systems Environmental and urban monitoring Enabling wireless and mobile technologies for smart cities Fault tolerance, reliability and survivability in smart systems Green computing, networking and energy efficiency Human mobility modeling and analytics Mobile crowdsourcing for urban analytics QoS and QoE of smart city systems, applications, and services IoT for smart cities Cyber-physical and social computing and networks Software defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV) in smart city environments Smart grids Smart transportation Smart buildings Safety, security, privacy and trust in smart city applications and servcies Smartphone and mobile systems and applications Vehicular networks
