Workshop on Smart Cities, Arlington, Virginia, December 3-4, 2015

本次研讨会将汇集来自学术界、产业界和市政府的研究人员和技术领袖，以制定智能城市的短期和长期研究议程，旨在整合工程、计算机科学和社会科学三个广泛领域。研讨会的主题涵盖多个领域和专门学科，包括：交通、环境、能源、水、建筑设计和管理、城市规划、传感器和执行器网络、社会科学、经济学、软件平台设计和数据管理。该讲习班的动机是城市地区的持续增长，使其管理成为当今社会面临的关键挑战之一。移动无线传感器和驱动网络技术的出现，以及网络物理系统的更广泛发展，通过为交通、能源分配、医疗保健、环境监测、商业、商业、应急响应和社会活动提供创新服务，创造了前所未有的机会。研讨会的结构将包括演讲和讨论，重点是智能城市的可能性，以及未来十年需要进行哪些基础研究，以实现这些新机会，同时减少可能对城市居民造成不利影响的意外后果。研讨会的成果将以陈述和分组会议报告的形式获得，并将作为最终研讨会报告的基础，该报告将发布并与参与智能城市的更广泛的社区共享。这将导致在智能城市的所有方面进行基础研究的路线图，涵盖工程、计算机科学、社会科学和政策问题。将特别强调教育，因为有必要开发暂定为城市科学的新的学术课程。该报告还将定义智能城市的最先进愿景，该愿景的实现将对未来几十年城市环境的设计、管理和整体可持续性产生重大影响。

This Workshop will bring together researchers and technical leaders from academia, industry, and municipal government in order to set a short and long-term research agenda for Smart Cities aiming to integrate the three broad fields of Engineering, Computer Science, and Social Science. The Workshop topics cover a variety of fields and specialized disciplines including: transportation, environment, energy, water, building design and management, urban planning, sensor and actuator networks, social science, economics, software platform design and data management. The Workshop is motivated by the continuing growth of urban areas, making their management one of the critical challenges our society faces today. The emergence of mobile wireless sensor and actuation network technologies, along with broader developments in Cyber-Physical Systems, have created unprecedented opportunities through innovative services for transportation, energy distribution, health care, environmental monitoring, business, commerce, emergency response, and social activities. The Workshop will be structured to include presentations and discussions focused on what is possible for Smart Cities and what foundational research is necessary over the next decade to enable these new opportunities and bring them to fruition while mitigating unexpected consequences that may adversely affect urban dwellers. The results of the workshop will be captured in the form of presentations and breakout session reports which will be used as the basis for a final workshop report that will be published and shared with the broader communities involved with Smart Cities. This will lead to a roadmap for foundational research in all aspects of Smart Cities spanning engineering, computer science, social science, and policy issues. There will be special emphasis on education, since there is a need to develop new academic curricula in what is tentatively labeled Urban Science. The report will also define a state-of-the-art vision for Smart Cities whose realization will have significant impact on the design, management, and overall sustainability of urban environments over the next several decades.
