The Third International Workshop on Crowd Intelligence for Smart Cities: Technology and Applications (CISC 2020)
In Conjunction with GPC 2020, @Xi’an
Introduction
Cities are experiencing significant challenges in many aspects such as efficient energy management, economic growth and development, security and quality of life of their citizens. In particular, in the era of big data, mobile internet, social network, and cloud computing, we are now provided with good opportunities to leverage the crowd intelligence, i.e., cooperation of the massive individual intelligence, to better sense and manage the city. The meaning of the word "crowd" is mainly two-fold, in terms of the data collection and fusion.
From the perspective of data collection, participatory sensing (people-centric sensing/mobile crowdsensing) presents a new paradigm based on the power of mobile devices. The sheer number of user-companioned devices (e.g., mobile phones, wearable devices, smart vehicles) and their inherent mobility enables that we can acquire local knowledge (e.g., location, personal and surrounding context, noise level) through sensor-enhanced mobile devices.
From the perspective of data fusion, a variety of open datasets from multiple domains are available nowadays, from social media to public transportation, from health care to wireless communication networks. Thus, when addressing a specific problem in smart cities, multiple disparate datasets can be integrated to obtain an effective solution.
After the successful hosting of the first (CISC 2016, in France) and the second CISC (CISC 2019, in China), the objective of the third CISC is to further bring together researchers and practitioners both from academia and industries with the goal to discuss, identify and share experiences surrounding construction of smart city systems, city context analysis, its applications and deployment experiences based on the crowd intelligence. We hope that the workshop will contribute to establish a research community in the smart city research area with a focus on the crowd intelligence.
Topics
The workshop is intended to be a forum to share the experiences about smart city technologies and its applications based on crowd intelligence. The main topics of the workshop can be categorized as (but not limited to):
- Smart City Big Data Collection and Analysis
- Crowd Intelligence based Smart City Systems, Middleware and Framework
- Crowd Intelligence based Smart City Application
- Security, Trust, and Privacy Issues in Crowd Intelligence
- Incentive Mechanism for Crowd Intelligence based Smart City Application
- Missing Data Inference in Crowd Intelligence based Smart City Application
- Optimizing Crowd Intelligence based Systems for Smart Cities
Paper Submission
- Submission Requirements
Submitted papers should adhere to the GPC workshop submission formatting requirements (e.g., page limit and format). Submission link: TBD
- Journal Paper Extension
High-quality papers, after appropriate extensions or revisions, can be recommended to multiple journal special issues in GPC 2020.
