The Second LiveCity Workshop on Smart and Pervasive Communications for Enhanced Communities (LiveCity 2014), will be organised in Vilanova i la Geltrú, Spain, co-located with 5th International Conference on SmArt COmmunications in NEtwork Technologies (SaCoNeT'2014).

============================================ SCOPE ---------- The Second LiveCity Workshop on Smart and Pervasive Communications for Enhanced Communities (LiveCity 2014) will be held in conjunction with the 5th International Conference on Smart Communications in Network Technologies (SaCoNeT 2014) in Vilanova i la Geltrù, on June 18, 2014.

The LiveCity project implements a range of pilots for city communities across the public Internet by building a wireline and 4G wireless network of 5 cities, including a right of way without interference from unwanted traffic. These communities could range from emergency ambulances, hospitals, doctors, patients, museum curators, city administrations and schools. The main goals and contributions include, but are not limited to, authenticated and encrypted traffic, live and secure interactive video-to-video, improvements for health services and city administration, reduction of fuel costs and carbon footprint, enhanced education techniques and augmented city experiences for tourists and cultural consumers.

Despite all the opportunities envisioned for future services and applications – such as improved education, security, elderly support, among others – several communication and technical challenges must still be addressed by researchers, ensuring feasible and sustainable solutions with scalable and affordable options to include, replace or improve existing services. This workshop, sponsored by the Live City Project, will provide a forum in which these issues and opportunities will be discussed amongst researchers, industry stakeholders and the general community, leading to a better understanding of current state-of-the-art research approaches and future challenges.

*Scope of Contributions* We kindly solicit papers addressing the area of Smart Communications for Enhanced Communities in:

*HD Video Streaming Services and Techniques* - Protection - Health - Education - Transcoding - Authentication and Security - Portability

*Network and Service Optimisation* - Transport Protocols - Quality Measurements (QoS/QoE) - Signalling - Network Availability and Resilience - Scalability - Energy Efficiency

*Mobile Networks* - Portable and ubiquitous communications - Mobile IP - Multi-homing - 3G and 4G Networks - Ad-hoc Networks - Energy Efficiency

*Applications for Smart Communities* - Services and Administration - Health and Protection - Cultural Heritage - Sustainability - Energy Efficiency - E-Learning

SUBMISSION PROCEDURE ----------------------------------------- The conference accepts only novel, previously unpublished papers. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a 6-page standard IEEE conference style paper to this conference (including all text, figures, and references) through EDAS submission system.

EDAS submission link: coming soon!

One additional page may be allowed but with additional publication fee. Accepted papers must be presented at the Conference. The presenter must register for the Conference before the deadline for author registration. Failure to register before the deadline will result in automatic withdrawal of the paper from the Conference proceedings and the program.
