The International Conference on Sustainable Smart Cities and Territories (SSCt2021) is organized by the BISITE research group at the University of Salamanca, together with Texas A&M Universityy Qatar, the AIR Institute and the IoT Digital Innovation Hub. The event will be held online, from April 27 to 29, 2021, and will bring together researchers and developers from academia and industry, to present and discuss the latest scientific and technical advances in the fields of Smart Cities and Smart Territories.

Data plays a fundamental role in the development of smart cities. The availability of real-time information will make it possible to foresee potential problems, propose solutions and create alternatives to provide a better quality of life and comfort to the cities’ inhabitants. In this regard, SSCt2021 will see the participation of specialists such as E. Martinez Gil, T. Yigitcanlar and E. Díaz-Plaza Sanz.

The congress will include presentations and workshops on different techniques, methods and tools that help system designers achieve the transition from today’s cities to the cities we need (those adapted to a changing world). Papers related to the following topics are welcome:

– Smart homes and buildings;

– Success stories and challenges in smart cities and territories;

– Smart infrastructures;

– Urban mobility and intelligent transportation systems;

– Smart health and emergency management (epidemic control);

– Smart environments;

– Smart tourism;

– Smart manufacturing and logistics;

– New retail;

– Smart urban governance;

– Eco-urbanism, urban resilience and climate change mitigation and adaptation;

You can find more information on other themes and features of the deliverables at the following link: https://ssctic.net/open-calls.

The deadline for submitting articles is February 10.

All accepted papers will be published by AISC Springer Verlag; in addition, all the authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended and improved version to a special issue in the Electronics and ADCAIJ journals.
