Introduction

Towards Smart City Services and Infrastructures

Building smart cities require close collaborations among multi-disciplinary teams composed of researchers and practitioners to solve urban computing and smart city service problems. To cope with emerging challenges in engineering diverse complex cyber systems for smart cities, it is critical to adopt state-of-the-art technologies and solutions to build innovative smart city services and application systems. Such advanced technologies include smart sensing/devices/materials, IoT, networking, cloud computing, big data, machine learning, and mobile cloud services. Typical research areas cover smart city transportation, clean environment, city utilities, public health, safety and security, smart government, community, social services, community connectivity, and so on. The 2nd IEEE International Conference on Smart City Innovations (IEEE SCI 2018) aims to provide a unique platform for multi-disciplinary researchers and teams, industry solution vendors, and government agencies to exchange innovative ideas, challenges, research results and solutions, as well as project experience reports and stories.

The IEEE SCI 2018 will include a highly selective program of technical papers, accompanied by workshops, demos, panel discussions and keynote speeches. We welcome high-quality papers that describe original and unpublished research addressing theory, modeling and methodologies for building smart cities, as well as case studies, challenges and needs in building smart cities.
