SCOPE
The continuous and unplanned urbanization has been recently considered as a
major challenging factor in the fields of transport and mobility, health
and wellness, safety and security, energy and environment, communication
and society. In fact, the world urbanization is expected to increase by 80
% in 2050. This rapid population growth will lower the quality of life of
citizens by increasing the consumption of energy resources, amplifying
noise and pollution levels and dramatically disrupting the normal flow of
urban transportation, causing traffic congestion and worsening travel times.

Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are systematically
involved in the concept of smart environments and aim at providing seamless
services to citizens. However, they bring up a number of technical and
environmental challenges that need to be tackled. The objective of this
workshop is to address all aspects of the modeling, design, implementation,
deployment, and management of smart environments algorithms, protocols,
architectures, and systems. We aim to uphold the research activities in
this area and provide a platform for discussion on basic and potential
challenges faced when considering the integration and interoperation of
ICTs in heterogeneous urban environments. To this end, we solicit
submission of papers describing significant and innovative research
contributions that address technical challenges and issues appearing from
the integration, interworking and redefinition of new Internet
architectures.
