CALL FOR PAPERS
7th WebAndTheCity – Web Intelligence and Resilience in Smart Cities
In conjunction with The Web Conference (WWW’21): 31st World Wide Web
International Conference, Ljubljana, Slovenia, April 19-23, 2021
http://webandthecity.home.blog/
Important Dates
Submissions due: Jan 15, 2021 (23:59 Anywhere on Earth (AoE) time zone)
Notification of Acceptance: Jan. 22 2021
Camera-ready version due: Feb. 07, 2021
Workshop authors’ registration and camera-ready papers: TBA
Workshop day: April 19, 2021
Workshop Objective
This is the 7th edition of the workshop series with the label “Web
Applications and Smart Cities” (previous name: AW4City), which started
back in Florence in 2015 and kept on taking place every year in
conjunction with the WWW conference series. Last year the workshop was
in Taipei during The Web Conference 2020. The workshop series aim to
investigate the role of the Web and of Web applications in smart city
growth.
This year, the workshop focuses on smart city (SC) resilience, with the
inclusion of Web Intelligence that enables self-sensing and early
alerts, and self-adaptation of smart services in SC: SC seem to have
failed so far in recognizing Covid-19 and other risks and questions rise
regarding how can SC self-detect and analyze risks from the environment?
How it can generate alerts and communications with the appropriate smart
components and city stakeholders against these risks?
WebAndTheCity aims at gathering researchers from the fields of SC that
are related to this year’s conference topics, to think about the
obstacles that hurdle the leveraging of understanding and capturing of
SC trends with regard to the WWW role (web-based, Apps, platforms and
web intelligence).
Theoretical concepts, empirical evidence and selected case studies from
leading scholars and practitioners in the field showing the “big
picture” of smart cities and urban areas will be examined in this workshop.
WebAndTheCity is timely since the SC emerges rapidly with the
contribution of all the scientific fields, while ISO37120 and ISO37122
attempt to certify and measure the performance of SC services. Last but
not least, customer satisfaction from SC services is being measured
real-time with corresponding data collection. All these issues are being
supported by data, the Web, Apps and recently with AI and it is
important to focus on future achievements. Additionally, an increasing
criticism is that smart city represents an ambiguous urban utopia, which
is supported by the partnership of local governments with big
technological vendors. Articles can deliver a clearer view of smart city
reality, while innovative applications can strengthen the existence of
opportunities for new entrants in the SC market.
We target researchers from both industry and academia to join forces in
this exciting area. We intend to discuss the recent and significant
developments in the general areas of smart cities and web applications
and to promote cross-fertilization of techniques. In particular, we aim
at identifying trends and respective applications in smart cities; the
potential impact of smart city in web applications; techniques from
end-to-end solutions’ or apps’ development that will enable researchers
to understand the dynamic phenomena in smart cities, as well as specify
important directions for the research communities. Standards for web
applications’ development in smart cities is interesting for several
areas such as sustainability, crisis management, marketing, security,
and interoperability. To address the above mentioned aspects, we solicit
the following topics (but not limited to):
• Enhancing community awareness and citizen surveillance with Web
Applications, mobile Apps and Services, especially controlled by AI
(i.e., cases coming from Covid-19 crisis);
• Apps and services that support community adaptation, mobility,
sharing, crowd-sourcing etc. (especially during a crisis);
• Smart City platforms (e.g. parking; traffic management; environment etc.);
• Smart and Self evolving services (e.g. self-threat analysisl
self-responsive government services etc.);
• Practices of Web applications, Apps and AI in smart cities;
• Theoretical foundations on Smart City applications and standards;
• Creative partnerships, creative industries and industry 4.0 in Smart
City with a focus on application development and AI (Internet Economics
and Monetization);
• Pervasive Web for Smart City emerging topics (i.e., user behavior
analytics, energy, water, waste, transportation etc.)
• The role of city stakeholders for smart city applications development
and standardization (i.e., promotion push, start-ups, open data);
• Web Infrastructure and AI service standardization;
• The role of standards on smart city data mining;
• Smart city information quality and evolution in social content;
• Ensuring security and privacy in Smart Cities: the role of web
applications and Apps.
Submission
We welcome full research papers, research in progress, and discussion
papers. Full papers should be up to 10 pages long, including the
abstract and appendices.
Discussion papers may be short (up to 6 pages), but should clearly and
distinctly address one or more issues pertinent to Smart City research
including research methods and quality as well as focus of studies.
Papers should be designed to support in-depth discussions of one of
these issues during the workshop. Although it is a half-day event, the
workshop papers will be clustered and each session will discuss a small
set of papers focusing on similar or related issues.
Accepted refereed papers, must be presented at the conference by an
author who is registered to attend. Please be aware that the WWW 2019
organizers will require at least one registration per paper published in
either the main Proceedings or in the Companion volume. At the time of
submission of the final camera-ready copy, authors will have to indicate
the already registered person for that publication. We strongly
encourage at least one author of every paper to register by the
early-bird deadline so that session chairs can make plans for its
presentation.

Over the past half century information technologies and devices have been
associated with improved individual safety and societal safety; for
example, ePrescribing systems have reduced the number of medication errors
made by physicians, aviation systems have prevented plane crashes from
turbulent weather conditions and pedestrian and cyclist detection systems
can trigger automatic emergency braking systems being developed for
autonomous vehicles. In this issue of Knowledge Management and eLearning
we focus on research in the areas of knowledge creation, translation and
mobilization of information technologies and devices that are currently
being developed for and integrated into modern day society, including:
health care, public health, transportation, power generation, manufacturing
etc. Authors are invited to submit papers that may include the following
topics of interest as well as others:
- Decision support for system safety
- Safety Incident Reporting systems
- ePrescribing systems
- Medication reconciliation systems
- Aircraft simulation safety system
- Safety eLearning Systems
- Citizen automobile driver support systems to avoid collisions with
other vehicles
- Decision support systems for nuclear power plants
- Safety systems to prevent accidents in manufacturing plants
- Dashboards to support recognition and monitoring of safety events
- Interactions between citizen information safety and security
- Downtime management to ensure safety of citizens, infrastructure and
society
- Occupational Health and Safety Monitoring Systems
- Online training for safety in the home, community or workplace
Authors working in safety science across industries are encouraged to
submit papers on new advances in safety science research, knowledge
translation and mobilization.
