The goal of this workshop is to share novel ideas, research progress, and smart city use cases, and to discuss future directions of smart city technologies. The workshop focuses on the added value interconnection among state-of-the-art technologies such as, Big Data, cloud/edge computing, Internet of Things, blockchains, cybersecurity and others having as aim to provide services in the context of the smart cities. * Topics of Interest The topics of this workshop cover big data, cloud, and IoT technologies for smart cities. The world is facing numerous problems such as global warming, economic crisis, security threats, inequality, natural disasters, and ageing society, and ICT solutions, such as big data, cloud computing, and IoT, are expected as the keys to cope with those problems. Meanwhile, smart cities have been emerging as an improved form of cities where different types of ICT solutions are used to efficiently manage assets and resources. The workshop invites papers sharing results of smart city applications and experimentations performed in lab and at city scale, in particular with involvement of a multitude of related stakeholders. Technical validation, as well as assessment results of non-technical aspects such as usage, social acceptance, privacy or ethics related issues are particularly encouraged. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Smart City applications - Internet of Things in cities - Middleware technologies - Security and privacy - Cloud Computing integration - Communication protocols - 5G deployments and applications - Testbeds, deployments and experiments - Open data and measurement - Machine Learning and data mining - Big Data applications - City context analysis, visualization, and applications - Blockchains and smart contracts - Citizen health and lifestyle enhancement - Safety and disaster management - Location prediction in social media and web - Evaluation of frameworks, metrics and algorithms * Paper Submission Prospective authors are invited to submit high-quality manuscripts presenting original work, on-going projects, and case study results in the abovementioned topics (but not limited to them). Papers must be formatted in PDF according to the IEEE two-column format for conference proceedings and submitted through EasyChair. The direct link for paper submission is: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwbigdatacity2020 Papers can be either regular or short papers, where regular papers are limited to 8 pages and short ones to 4 pages. The paper templates with formatting instructions can be found at: - IEEE Conference Microsoft Word Template: Conference-template-letter.doc - IEEE Conference Latex Template: Conference-LaTeX-template_5-8-18.zip All workshop papers will be published in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library as conference proceedings. * Important Dates - Paper submission: November 15th, 2019.
