CALL FOR PAPERS

 

 

3M4city Workshop : Modelling, Mining, Managing smart city data flows

In conjunction with WIMS’14: 4th International Conference on Web
Intelligence, Mining and Semantics,  

Thessaloniki, Greece, 2-4 June 2014

 

Workshop Objective

----------------------------

3M4city Workshop main objective is to promote Smart City research results in
the context of Modelling, Mining, Managing data flows. As part of the WIMS
2014 conference, this workshop is dedicated to open discussions about the
most important issues today in terms of smart cities methodologies,
implementations and practices.

 

The aim of this workshop is to illustrate the theoretical context, the
existing state and current issues and trends, accompanied by innovative and
forthcoming developments (norms, policies, and standards) in smart city
domain, mainly with regard to other city data flows (such as social
networks, open data, etc). More specifically, it will not just examine smart
city domain, but it will integrate activities (such as social networking and
innovative city solutions) towards adding value and beneficial impact to the
smart city domain. Theoretical concepts and modelling, empirical evidence
and selected case studies from leading scholars and practitioners in the
field showing the “big picture” of smart cities will be examined in this
workshop.

 

This workshop aims at gathering researchers from the fields of smart cities,
social computing, machine learning, and data mining to think about the
obstacles that hurdle the leveraging of understanding and capturing of smart
city trends with regard the social network dynamics. 

 

We target researchers from both industry and academia to join forces in this
exciting area. We intend to discuss the recent and significant developments
in the general areas of smart cities and social network dynamics and to
promote cross-fertilization of techniques. In particular, we aim at
identifying trends and respective applications in smart cities; the
potential impact of smart city in social networking; techniques from the
data mining and machine learning fields that will enable researchers to
understand the dynamic phenomena in smart cities, social networks and social
media, as well as specify important directions for the research communities.
Understanding, capturing, mining and being able to predict dynamic behaviors
in smart cities is interesting for several areas such as sustainability,
crisis management, marketing, security, and Web search. To address the above
mentioned aspects, we solicit the following topics (but not limited to):

 

·         Theoretical foundations on Smart Cities;

·         Smart City’s management and success and the role of social
networks;

·         Social networks’ utilization for innovative solutions’ extraction
is Smart Cities;

·         Creative partnerships and creative industries in Smart City: the
role of open data and social networks;

·         Standardization issues in Smart Cities and the respective role of
web intelligence and social networks;

·         Social networks’ role in collaboration on Smart City emerging
topics (i.e., energy, transportation, safety etc.)

·         The roles of Government’s in Smart Cities (i.e., promotion push);

·         Community extraction, analysis, and evolution;

·         Detection of (potentially evolving) local needs;

·         Smart City e-service evaluation and benchmarking via social
networks;

·         Smart growth chances’ detection; 

·         Smart City e-service execution in social networks;

·         Smart City e-service adoption and the role of social media; 

·         Social media recommendations;

·         Smart City information quality and evolution in social content;

·         Ensuring security and privacy in Smart Cities: the role of social
networks;

·         Smart City social network living labs and exemplars.

 

Submission

-------------------------------------

We welcome full research papers, research in progress, and discussion
papers. Full papers should be max 5000 words. Discussion papers may be
short, just a few pages, but should clearly and distinctly address one or
more issues pertinent to Smart City research including research methods and
quality as well as focus of studies. Papers should be designed to support
in-depth discussions of one of these issues during the workshop. The
workshop papers will be clustered and each session will discuss a small set
of papers focusing on similar or related issues.

 

Each submission will be reviewed by the workshop co-chairs and at least one
external reviewer. The accepted submissions will be published in WIMS 2014
conference’s proceedings (ACM International Conference Proceedings Series
(ICPS)). More details regarding WIMS2014 conference can be found on
