Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Smart cities encompass all aspects of modern day life, transportation, healthcare, entertainment, work, businesses, social interactions, governance, etc. It is therefore necessary to engineer smart cities as complex systems of systems supported by a converged ubiquitous infrastructure. A key challenge in the realization of smart cities is to create an ecosystem of digital infrastructures that are able to work together and enable dynamic real-time interactions between various smart city subsystems. With this background, this workshop invites submissions that propose state-of-the-art solutions for smart cities systems engineering.
A particular focus of this Special Issue are the studies that involve cloud computing, fog computing, and mobile edge computing technologies. Original articles including modeling and empirical studies and development, as well as relevant surveys, are welcome. The topics of interest of the workshop include but are not limited to:
* IoT-based developments for smart cities engineering;
* Big data technologies for smart cities;
* Modeling and analysis of smart city technologies and systems;
* Mobile applications for smart cities;
* Analytics for smart cities;
* Cloud computing based approaches for smart city engineering;
* Fog and edge computing based approaches for smart city engineering;
* Cloudlet-based approaches for smart city engineering;
* Studies focused on communication networks for smart cities;
* Information management for smart cities;
* Smart buildings, smart homes, and smart energy grids;
* Transportation, healthcare, and governance for smart cities;
* Security and privacy of smart city systems.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Information is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
