::::::::::::::::::::::::::CALL FOR PARTICIPATION::::::::::::::::::::::::::
2nd International Conference on IoT in Urban Space (Urb-IoT 2016)
May 24/25, Tokyo, Japan
http://www.urbaniot.org
In-cooperation with ACM SIGAPP, ACM SIGCHI and ACM SIGSPATIAL Published proceedings by Springer LNICST and ACM Digital Library.
Accepted papers list are now online: http://urbaniot.org/2016/show/accepted-papers
Registration is now being opened: http://urbaniot.org/2016/show/registration
Urb-IoT is a new conference that aims to explore these dynamics within the scope of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the new science of cities.
The goal of the conference is to solicit original and inspiring research contributions from technology experts, designers, researchers, urban planners, and architects in academia and industry. Bringing together practitioners and researchers to share knowledge, experiences, and best practices, Urb-IoT 2016 seeks multi-disciplinary contributions in the area of:
- Citizen Awareness and Engagement: Methods and studies for citizen involvement through participatory sensing or crowd-sourcing for urban tasks, as well as behavioural change of the citizen through awareness.
- Urban Analytics: Understanding the massive digital traces created by IoT in the urban landscape through big data analytics.
- IoT Applications and Services in Urban Context: Urban technologies and applications that challenge the state of the art and benefit citizens, decision and policy makers, and urban planners.

Scope
=====
Urban spaces are the man made microcosms where a number of entities interact with each other to offer citizens a variety of services, for instance, buildings and infrastructure, transportation, utility, public safety, healthcare, education. The interplay between this multitude of connecting entities creates a complex system with dynamic human, material, and digital flows. By 2050 the world's urban population is expected to grow by 72%. This steep growth creates an unprecedented urge for understanding cities to enable planning for the future societal, economical and environmental well being of their citizens. The increasing deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and the rise of so-called "Sensored Cities" are opening up new avenues of research opportunities towards that future. Although, there have been a number of deployment of diverse IoT systems in the urban space, our understanding of these systems and their implications has just scratched the surface.
Topics are themed by urban space and include, but are not limited to:
* Monitoring the pulse of the city
* Fusion of heterogeneous urban sources
* Understanding urban data using machine learning and mining techniques
* Visual analytics of urban data
* City as a platform
* Participatory and crowd sourcing techniques
* Incentification and gamification
* Citizen and crowd influence and behavioural change
* Data-driven urban planning and design
* Crowd behaviour capturing and modelling
* Urban mobility and intelligent transportation systems
* Smart cities
* Real time urban information systems
* Context awareness in urban systems
* Privacy and data protection
Urb-IoT was started at 2014 with more than 50 participants from various international countries, and with presentations of 15 accepted papers from 58 submissions. You can access past publication of the Urb-IoT in the ACM Digital Library: http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2694768
In Urb-IoT 2016, we also have great research and experiences papers on this field, and will share and discuss our latest research issues and ideas with various participants leading this area. Accepted papers/notes/posters/demos list is available from:
