IT in Smart Cities


Submission deadline: 1 October 2015
Publication: May/June 2016
computer.org/itpro/cfp3

The smart city concept represents a compelling platform for IT innovation
that can transform urban living. The concept offers a view of the city in
which information technologies engage with citizens to create more effective
urban solutions that can improve quality of life. Internet and social
network services, smart transportation systems, smart energy and water
systems, and sensor networks in public facilities, private buildings, and
outdoor environments are already transforming cities into smart cities. Yet
this transformation presents several research and implementation challenges,
calling for innovative solutions in areas such as big data analytics and
visualization, cross-space data fusion, software and application
development, sensing, resource-efficient smart services, intelligent
transportation, middleware and infrastructure for urban computing, and
privacy and security issues.

This issue of IT Professional seeks to present readers with the trends,
issues, novel solutions, applications, and practices that promote IT-driven
smart cities. We're soliciting articles from industry, business, academia,
and government on various topics including the following:


*	Emerging/novel applications 
*	Software and tools for smart cities 
*	Smart systems architecture for smart cities 
*	Cloud services for smart cities 
*	Intelligent transportation, water, and energy systems
*	Software/application development for smart cities 
*	Big data management and analytics 
*	Urban dynamics visualization 
*	Middleware/infrastructure for urban computing 

*	Innovation platforms for smart city services
*	Novel sensing techniques (including mobile crowd sensing) 
*	Internet of Things in smart cities 
*	Large-scale recommendation systems 
*	Social and community intelligence
*	Security, safety, privacy, and legal issues
