International Workshop on Semantic Technology for Smarter Cities (STSC2013)
******
The notion of smarter cities has been introduced as a strategic device to encompass modern urban production factors in a common framework and to highlight the growing importance of Information and Communication Technologies, social and environmental capital in profiling the competitiveness of cities. Smart cities drive sustainable economic growth and prosperity for their citizens. Their leaders have the tools to analyze data for better decisions, anticipate problems to resolve them proactively and coordinate resources to operate effectively. That appeals for new technology for urban computing to deal with large scale, heterogeneous, noisy, dynamic, and inconsistent data.
The semantic technology provides an effect and efficient solution for the data interoperability in urban computing to build smart cities. This international workshop on Semantic Technology for Smart Cities (STSC) is designed to be a discussion forum for researchers who are interested in the research and development of semantic technology for applications in urban computing.
The list of the covered topics includes but not limited to:
The workshop will take place during the 14th International Conference on Web Information System Engineering (WISE2013), October 13th-15th, Nanjing, China, as a full-day event.
Please note that for every accepted paper at least one of the authors must attend the workshop and must register for the workshop and the main conference. Submission of a paper is not required for attendance at the workshop. However, in the event that the workshop cannot accommodate all who would like to participate, those who have submitted a paper will be given priority.
