Reminder: CALL FOR PAPERS
AW4city Workshop - Web Applications and Smart Cities: bringing together
government, businesses and citizens
In conjunction with WWW’15: 24th World Wide Web International Conference
Florence, Italy, May 18th 2015

Workshop Objective
----------------------------
AW4city Workshop main objective is to promote Smart City research results in
the context of web applications development. As part of the WWW 2015
International conference, this workshop is dedicated to open discussions
about the most important issues today in terms of smart city methodologies,
implementations and practices.
The aim of this workshop is to address web-based application and Apps’
design and development in the smart city and urban context, which is a
rapidly emerging domain and suggests a steadily evolving dominant market.
Applications of these types are crucial, and can be in the ares of economy,
innovation, transparency, mobility, environment, security, health, leisure,
living, people and governance while no particular standards define rules for
corresponding application development yet. Theoretical concepts, empirical
evidence and selected case studies from leading scholars and practitioners
in the field showing the “big picture” of smart cities and urban areas will
be examined in this workshop.
This workshop aims at gathering researchers from the fields of smart cities
and web application development to think about the obstacles that hurdle the
leveraging of understanding and capturing of smart city trends with regard
web application development that interconnect citizens, businesses and
government in a smart city.
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 web applications 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 web applications; techniques from end-to-end solutions’ or
apps’ development that will enable researchers to understand the dynamic
phenomena in smart cities, as well as specify important directions for the
research communities. Standards for web applications’ development in smart
cities is interesting for several areas such as sustainability, crisis
management, marketing, security, and interoperability. To address the above
mentioned aspects, we solicit the following topics (but not limited to):
* Theoretical foundations on Smart City web applications;
* Smart City sustainability and the role of web applications;
* End-to-end applications for Smart Cities;
* Smart buildings, smart energy, smart water, smart waste, smart
transportation and web applications;
* Smart health, security, leisure, innovation and governance
* Creative partnerships and creative industries in Smart City: the
role of the WWW and of the Internet-of-things;
* Standardizing web applications’ development in Smart Cities;
* The role of e-Government in Smart Cities (i.e., technology push);
* Web applications for smart communities;
* Smart City e-service execution with web applications;
* Ensuring resilience, security and privacy in Smart Cities: the
role of web applications;
* Web Infrastructure architecture in smart cities: Datacenters,
Content Delivery Networks, and Cloud Computing;
* Internet Economics in smart cities: the role of applications;
* Internet of Things Applications in Smart Cities;
* Web applications and Business: business transformation and
business models;
Submission
-------------------------------------
We welcome full research papers, research in progress, and discussion
papers. Full papers should be up to 6 pages long (max 5000 words), including
the abstract and appendices. Discussion papers may be short (up to 4 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. Although it is a half-day event, the
workshop papers will be clustered and each session will discuss a small set
of papers focusing on similar or related issues.
Submission Guidelines
--------------------------------------
The accepted papers will be included in the companion volume of WWW2015’s
proceeding, which will be published by ACM and included in the ACM Digital
Library.
All submitted papers must be:

Electronic Government Research (IJEGR) or some other relative journals.
Accepted refereed papers, must be presented at the conference by an author
who is registered to attend. Please be aware that the WWW 2015 organizers
will require at least one registration per paper published in either the
main Proceedings or in the Companion volume. At the time of submission of
the final camera-ready copy, authors will have to indicate the already
registered person for that publication. We strongly encourage at least one
author of every paper to register by the early-bird deadline so that session
chairs can make plans for its presentation.
