Workshop Objectives

Workshop Goals: Urban services, such as vehicular traffic, personal security for citizens, or tourism support, have been recently enhanced by digital networks and mobile technology. Using sensing capabilities (e.g. geo-referencing, movement detection or capture of audio/video) and distributed information processing, it is possible to provide ambient intelligence in urban areas to reach particular goals, for instance, to determine fastest routes for traffic participants based on data exchange between their mobile computer devices. Thus, citizens become active participants in the design and deployment of solutions for urban problems addressing the needs of residents and visitors of particular areas. This workshop provides a discussion space, in which researchers, students, technology experts and practitioners can contribute to the design, assessment, development, and deployment of ambient intelligent solutions applied in the urban domain. The workshop will act as a forum to validate recent results and on-going research, particularly addressed by young researchers.

Paper Submission

We invite researchers to submit high quality contributions describing significant, original and unpublished results in the following categories:

Long papers: Intended to allow presentation of academic research results of high quality. Submissions must contain an original contribution and may not have already been published in another forum, nor be subject to review for other conferences or publications. Contributions should include unpublished results of research, case studies or experiences that provide new evidence about the research or application regarding to the main topics. Articles accepted in this category will be published in the proceedings of the event. Long papers must not exceed 12 pages (including figures and appendices).

Short papers:Intended to allow presentation of ongoing studies with partial (however, significant) results. Submissions must contain an original contribution and may not have already been published in another forum, nor be subject to review for other conferences or publications. Articles accepted in this category will be published in the proceedings of the event. Short papers must not exceed 6 pages (including figures and appendices).

All papers should be written in English.

Submission Procedure

All submissions should be made by EasyChair platform and must follow the LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) Formatting Guidelines. Please ensure that your papers are formatted correctly and are within the specified page limits. Author information and templates are available in Information for LNCS Authors web, or downloading the templates here for Latex and Word.

At least one of the authors of an accepted paper has to be registered and attend the workshop for presentation of the work such that the paper can appear in the UCAmI - IWAAL - AmIHEALTH post-proceedings volume, which will be published by Springer in its LNCS series.
