CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS
Developing and Monitoring Smart Environments for Intelligent
Cities
Edited by: Professor Zaigham Mahmood
(Univ of Northampton UK, Debesis Eduction UK, Shijiazhuang Tiedao
Uni China)
To be published by IGI-Global in 2020
Chapter Proposal Submission Deadline: 31 August 2019
Proposals to be sent to:
dr.z.mahmood@hotmail.co.uk
1. Introduction
An Intelligent City, also known as Smart City or Cognitive City,
is a new vision for urban development to integrate the various
sectors of the society through the use of Internet of Things
technologies. The objective is to integrate and manage a city’s
resources such as transportation, healthcare, commerce, education,
utilities, law enforcement, as well as city’s various e-government
information systems. The ultimate aim is to improve the quality of
life of citizens and efficiency of city’s services and processes,
ensuring that citizens’ day to day needs are met and they are
empowered to affect the city’s functioning. Relevant computing
technologies, social media offerings, distributed computing
paradigms, mobile technology, communication protocols, and device
connectivity frameworks are already well established to: 1)
empower the citizens to provision the e-services provided by the
city; 2) allow city officials to interact directly with the
community and to monitor digital environments of intelligent
cities; and 3) develop smart communities where citizens can enjoy
improved quality of life living in smart environments of
intelligent cities.
In this context, the proposed book aims to investigate
development, management, and monitoring approaches to building
digital cities and intelligent environments therein. Emphasis is
also on the current and future use of IoT frameworks, related
methodologies, device connectivity approaches, communication
protocols as well as inherent issues and limitations.
1. Suggested Topics
The relevant topics include:
· Concepts, principles and technologies relating to intelligent
cities
· Development, monitoring, and management approaches to smart
cities
· Advanced mobile and communication technologies relating to
intelligent cities
· Smart living in smart environments in intelligent digital cities
· Intelligent transportation and related technologies
· Frameworks for smart healthcare, smart homes and smart utilities
· Methodologies for Industrial IoT and smart social environments
· Autonomous vehicles, MANET and VANET
· Wireless communication and V2V networks
· Sustainability, quality, energy efficient services for smart
cities
· Frameworks and methodologies for management and governance
· Business models and architectural frameworks for intelligent
city environments
· Big data storage, analytics and management for distributed
environments
· Technology, data, and information fusion
· Ambient intelligence, AI and machine learning in distributed
computing
· Inherent issues and Opportunities relating to intelligent cities
· Security, privacy, trust, safety and governance in IoT
· Device connectivity and communication protocols for IoT
· Future directions and case studies relevant to intelligent
cities
· … other relevant topics
It is expected that the book will comprise a number of sections. A
tentative idea is as follows:
* Section 1 - Concepts, Principles and Technologies:
Concepts/principles, historical perspective,
Development/monitoring/management approaches, IoT, advanced mobile
and distributive communication technologies
* Section 2 - Smart Living and Intelligent Environments:
Intelligent transportation, smart healthcare, Smart homes, smart
utilities, Industrial IoT, Autonomous vehicles, MANET, VANET,
Sustainability, quality, energy efficient services
* Section 3 - Frameworks and Methodologies: Business models,
architectural frameworks, Big data storage and analytics,
Technology/data/information fusion, Ambient intelligence, AI and
machine learning
* Section 4 - Issues and Opportunities: Security, privacy, trust,
safety and governance, Data storage and management, device
connectivity, Limitations/issues, future directions, and case
studies
3. Submission Procedure
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit 1-2-page
chapter proposals clearly stating the objective, scope and
structure of the proposed chapters - by the deadline mentioned
above. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified within two
weeks (in most cases) and given guidelines for full chapter
preparation. Completed chapters should be approximately 10,000
words or 20-30 pages in length – longer chapters will also be
acceptable. Full chapters will be reviewed following a
double-blind peer review process to ensure relevance, quality,
originality and high information content. IGI’s e-editorial
discovery system will be used for most the chapter development and
submission processes. In the first instance, 1-2-page chapter
proposals, as WORD files, should be sent to:
dr.z.mahmood@hotmail.co.uk<mailto:dr.z.mahmood@hotmail.co.uk>
4. Important Dates
· Chapter proposals due date: 31 August 2019
* Notification of acceptance: within 2 weeks of receipt of
proposals
* Full chapters due date: within 6 weeks of acceptance
notification
* Chapter reviews feedback: within 6 weeks of chapter due date
* Revised chapters due date: within 3 weeks of review feedback
