The fourth annual Global City Teams Challenge Tech Jam will be held in Portland Oregon between Tuesday, September 10th - Thursday September 12th, 2019. This event will bringing together forward-looking municipalities, research institutions, federal agencies, leading private sector companies, interested in preparing their infrastructure for the latest smart city technologies to provide better, more equitable services.
In collaboration with the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Emerging Interest Group (EIG) on Smart Cities and Communities (SCC) we will be hosting a Technical Papers Symposium. This Symposium will provide a leading venue for the presentation of the highest-quality original research, groundbreaking ideas, and compelling insights on future trends in Smart City Technology and Deployment.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
-
Papers: We are interested in cross-disciplinary papers with applications in smart cities and communities, smart infrastructure, Internet of Things, and technical work in computer science. Papers that cross disciplines can be difficult to publish in traditional domain-specific venues; this Symposium specifically requests submissions of those papers.
Process: Abstracts are 250 words long and are due by June 24th with a response to you by July 1st. If your abstract is accepted, you will be invited to submit a paper. Papers are 6-8 pages in standard two-column ACM format, are due by July 31st and will undergo an editorial review. We will respond by August 12th. -
Posters: We are interested in cross-disciplinary posters presenting methods and systems at or above Technology Readiness Level 3. Posters should exhibit real results on data from smart cities and communities, smart infrastructure, or the Internet of Things. Please submit a draft poster or 250 word abstract describing your poster by August 19th. We will respond by August 26th. Final posters are due at the time of presentation at the conference.
List of Topics
We are interested in cross-disciplinary papers with applications in:
- Wellbeing: Including energy, waste and water management to eliminate the health effects of pollutants. Tele-health, tele-medicine and shared healthcare services models. Thriving communities that promote quality of life for all ages, sustainability and beneficial connections with nature, vibrant arts and cultural expression, and equitable access to the benefits of smart cities technologies for all groups.
- Regional: Including mobility, accessibility and public safety. Regional health and wellness. Regenerative techniques in agriculture. Improving soil health and resilience in the face of wildfires, storms and coastal changes.
