challenges, and future directions towards building cities of the
future. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Intelligent traffic management
- Smart and efficient energy management
- E-government services
- Using mobile devices to access/offer services
- Sensor networks for large-scale urban zones
- Enhancing individuals' everyday life (e.g., health, education,...)
- Security and privacy when using smart systems
