The 1st Workshop on the Distributed Smart City (WDSC'18)
http://www.lasid.ufba.br/srds2018/view/WDSC2018.php
In conjunction with the
37th IEEE International Symposium on Reliable Distributed Systems
October 02-05, 2018
Salvador, Bahia - Brazil
According to the United Nations, 54.5% of the world population is
living in cities today, a number that will reach 60% by the year 2030.
To provide services and resources to this new wave of inhabitants,
cities will have to be more efficient. Technology will be key to
improve city efficiency, and research on Smart Cities is investigating
how Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) can help citizens
and governments to improve quality of life in the cities, particularly
those in developing countries that will experiment higher growth rate
on the next decades.
Smart City technology have a direct impact on the lives of millions.
Recently, a bug on the widely used traffic routing application Waze
drew the city of São Paulo to a halt, as thousands of drivers were led
by the app to use the same route. Smart City systems and platforms
must be deployed in large scale, include devices from different
architectures that use distinct communication protocols, process large
amounts of data, must be reliable and bug-free. As such, distributed
approaches to Smart City applications are preferable, even though
there is a trend of creating centralized architectures which can be
dangerous to cities on long term.
This workshop aims at gathering distributed systems researchers that
are working on distributed approaches for Smart City platforms and
applications. Areas of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Cloud and fog computing
- Software engineering techniques
- Case studies on distributed smart city applications
- IoT and sensors for cities
- Data analysis and big data algorithms
- Large scale data processing
- Vehicular and peer-to-peer networks
- Crowdsourcing and collaborative platforms and applications
- Smart grids
- Smart city theory, modeling, and simulation
- Intelligent infrastructure
- Reliability and security for Smart City applications
- Privacy on the Smart City
- Green Computing in city applications and systems
