I-CiTies 2023 - 9th CINI Annual Conference on ICT for Smart Cities & Communities

Conference Topics

A smart city is a vision where key ICT technologies are seamlessly integrated to meet the real and priority needs of its population by enhancing the quality of the urban services while lowering overall costs. The offered services have to be context-dependent and have to be designed in accordance with the specific objectives of the city for which they are intended. Smart city solutions have to be multi-disciplinary, blending together socio, cultural, and technical aspects altogether.

The conference, at its ninth edition, is an opportunity for people from academia, industries, and public institutions to meet and define new collaborations in the perspective of forthcoming national or international project calls. In this respect, it is not intended to only disseminate theoretical scientific activities. Instead, its main goal is to present available innovative solutions and active research projects, as well as novel ideas for new proposals and collaboration.

We expect contributions in all the fields related to ICT-based solutions for smart cities and communities.

Potential topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following application domains:

As usual, when submitting the abstract, you are asked to specify the track(s) that best fits your paper. In addition this year we ask you to position your contribution with respect to a list of topics of interests of the CINI Lab Smart Cities & Communities national lab that are shown in the following image. The image shows the reference architecture of the laboratory: below the blue line are the layers that contribute to the realization of the basic services offered by a potential laboratory platform while above the blue line are the different application areas of interest to the laboratory.

Submitted extended abstract will undergo a review process to check their relevance to the conference.

The submission of a contribution implies that, if accepted for presentation, at least one of its proponents must register (paying the requested fee) and attend the conference for giving the presentation.
