Special Session II: Smart City
Session Chair: Assoc. Prof. Chuang Ma, Shanghai Polytechnic University, China
Information: Currently, the construction of smart cities is entering a period of rapid development, yet there are significant differences in technological paths both domestically and internationally. Therefore, a special symposium has been established. The symposium focuses on cutting-edge theories and industrial applications of smart cities, revolving around core topics such as digital infrastructure, smart transportation, digital assets, and privacy protection. It brings together experts, scholars, and industry researchers from both domestic and overseas to share research findings on big data, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and information security in the fine management of cities. The conference will condense academic summaries and constructive development suggestions, facilitate cross-disciplinary academic collaboration, and promote the sharing of research experience on smart city technology from various countries as well as the implementation of industry-university-research cooperation.
Topics
1.Digital pedestal and key technologies
(1) Innovative applications of the Internet of Things, big data, AI, and digital twins in smart cities
(2) Urban computing power network and new information infrastructure construction technology
2.Refined smart governance of cities
(1) Smart government administration, comprehensive urban governance, and intelligent early warning of urban risks
(2) Implementation and practice of smart transportation, smart water management, and smart security
3.Green, low-carbon and smart city
(1) Zero-carbon urban areas, smart energy management and control, and digital technology for green buildings
(2) Intensive utilization plan of urban resources under the dual carbon goals
4.Data security and industrial application
