Introduction and Workshop Goals

It is quite evident that within the development of people centered smart cities the underlying and ubiquitous techno-ecosystems - whose embedded intelligence, sensitivity and responsiveness surround the individuals - challenge the future of the learning ecosystems and call for a critical and participatory redefinition of spaces, contents, processes, skills and benchmarking approaches. Such challenge is not just for researchers or teachers, but requires the involvement of all potential stakeholders to develop critically the mediation role of ICT to:
• foster awareness about complexity and its government (orchestration) 
• support the acquisition of appropriate behaviors, skills & competencies
• promote open access to space, tools, services, practices, content/data, people/skills
• tame discontinuities (time - space/place - technological - process - learning practices)
• identify the driving factors of the smartness including those from the characteristics of local cultures and contexts
• support policy and decision making
• promote social innovation & learning, capacity building and a sustainable economy
• develop adequate monitoring and benchmarking approaches
• tame privacy, data control, security and safety

According to the expectations of the Critical Alternatives conference contributions should:
• inspire the workshop agenda
• offer a strong contribution to theory and practice
• provide new perspectives and offer critical alternatives
• have potential for long lasting impact

Papers should be maximum 10 pages long and formatted in LNCS style.
Submission are handled by Easychair:
