Dear Colleagues,

 

We invite you to submit a paper to the 4^th ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on Advances in Resilient and Intelligent Cities (ARIC 2021) by September 10^th, 2020. The workshop will be held Virtually on November 2^nd, 2021. 

 

Workshop Website:  https://urbands.github.io/ARIC2021/ 

 

This year's workshop will focus on the scientific methods that will enable the next-generation cities. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for cities to increasingly become more effective in delivering basic public services, utilizing emerging technologies, to better serve its residents. This workshop is motivated by three recent advances: a technology-driven future; new regulations to combat emerging social changes; and advances in computational sciences. Specific attention will be given to papers that focus on resilience (community and infrastructure) in the context of COVID-19 and integrate heterogeneous data and real-time computing/analytics/visualization to aid with the pandemic and other co-occurring hazards. 

 

The workshop invites papers in the following years:

• Data fusion techniques and analytics for prediction and forecasting across space and time
• Real-time analytics of dynamic and distributed data
• Edge and distributed computing for data mining about cyber-physical systems
• Human dynamics in the Age of Smart/Intelligent Systems
• Spatial social network analytics in the built environment
• Theoretical and practical applications of Internet of Things in urban settings
• Optimizing sensor locations for resilience informatics
• Augmented reality, simulations and 3D-geovisualization for intelligence
• Analytical frameworks for net zero carbon and energy efficiency
• AI/ML driven solutions to assess and model resilience
• Network modeling, logistics and mobility analysis to quantify resilience

 

Paper Format

• Full research paper: 8-10 pages
• Short research paper or industry demo paper: 4 pages             
• Vision or statement paper: 2 pages
