* About IWBigDataCity 2020 (http://iwbigdatacity.org)	

The second international workshop on big data, cloud, and IoT
technologies for smart cities is a forum for researchers in academia
and industry who are interested in big data, cloud, and IoT
technologies for smart cities and their use cases.  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
