The 1st International Workshop on Innovations in Social City Solutions (ISCS, 2019)

Download CFP: PDF

The local Governments of modern world cities are collecting huge amount of data on daily basis which can be used for decision-making and making predictions for effective future planning. This is a big data streaming in from a variety of sources, such as traffic monitoring sensors, videos from drones or surveillance cameras, etc. For local body officials, the best use of the big data is very important, since the modern world technology should not merely act as an information resource, but rather the overall core of the smart governance.

A smart city aggregates big data from Internet of Things (IoT) solutions to efficiently utilise resources, enhances performance, reduces cost, and connects and engages more effectively with its citizens. Modern cities are facing challenging problems such as heavy traffic congestion, over-consumption of energy, and other socio-technical issues. There are multiple dimensions to this complex and taxing problem, which requires real-time analytics based on large volumes of multiple-source data sets for real-time predictions and decision-making. The research work on urban computing has provided solutions based on data mining techniques, which can help meet some of these challenges in urban planning and management. The workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers to discuss recent trends and innovations in Social City Solutions.
