AAG 2019 CFP – “Smart Cities and Urban Computing”
Symposium on Human Dynamics Research in the Age of Smart/Intelligent Systems
American Association of Geographers’ Annual Meeting, April 3-7, 2019, Washington, DC
Aims and Scope:
The dynamics of coupled environmental and human systems, and their complexities and connectivity across space and time poses daunting challenges to effective solutions to a variety of urban development and sustainable issues. However, the advancements in Internet of Things and connected devices, have opened up frontiers for data-driven urban computing and analytics to understand the dynamics of these systems and their interactions in real-time. Analytical advancements have also enabled rigorous analysis of big data available from sensors and citizens to develop effective and timely solutions to challenging urban problems and for policy interventions. This session invites research that sheds light on the opportunities, challenges and solutions of using big data, CyberGIS and spatial data science for urban computing and smart cities. Specifically, theoretical, methodological, and empirical research focusing on social and urban big data with fine spatial, temporal, and thematic resolutions are welcome. Possible topics may include but are not limited to:
- Multi-scale modeling of human mobility
- Urban disaster and emergency
- Indoors GIS and smart buildings
- CyberGIS analytics for urban big data
- Spatial theories of smart cities
- Urban safety, security, and privacy
- Transportation and mobility data analysis
- Urban data fusion
- Urban data mining
