Call for Papers
Special Issue in Business &
Information Systems Engineering on “Smart Cities and Digitized
Urban Management”
*** Deadline has been extended to 15 July
2017. Papers with a focus on energy and transportation topics
linked to smart city research are invited to submit drafts to
the Energy Informatics & Management conference in Rotterdam
(http://www.erasmusenergyforum.com/science-day/)
to receive feedback from the guest editors. EIM 2017 takes place
on 28 June 2017, the submission deadline is 4 April 2017. You
may submit your draft as a regular paper with a note stating
that you are preparing your manuscript for submission to the
special issue. These EIM page limit of 6 pages is waived for
these submissions. Papers with a different smart city focus are
still encouraged to submit to the SI since we aim for topical
plurality. ***
The Smart City concept stands at the
confluence of several global technological, socioeconomic, and
environmental megatrends. On the technological front, Big Data,
analytics, block chain, and the Internet of Things enable an
ever more interconnected network of people, services, and
infrastructures. On the socioeconomic front, urbanization drives
people to the cities in search for a better life, demographic
developments alter the very structures of society, and a new
wave of migration uproots people and recombines social and
cultural backgrounds of populations around the globe. Finally,
from an environmental perspective, climate change and pollution
make entire stretches of land uninhabitable, endanger coastal
areas on every continent, and are a widespread cause of unrest
and strife.
Cities are where these trends meet, being the
cause of and solution to many of the associated challenges.
Cities are responsible for most of the emissions heating the
planet, but they are also the places where people turn to and
move to, where even small adjustments can have tremendous
impact. This is particularly relevant for some individual cities
(e.g., in Asia) that show a tendency to grow together towards
enormous metro-regions with unprecedented sustainability
challenges. Simultaneously, the interaction and integration of
smart cities with their outskirts as well as more rural
“satellites” becomes a pressing issue.
Using information systems to improve all of
the facets of urban life is the core of the Smart City paradigm.
Therefore, this special issue seeks high-quality theoretical,
empirical, and design-oriented contributions that outline and
demonstrate how IS research can affect and improve urban
socio-technical systems and address the issues outlined
previously. As the topic is inherently transdisciplinary, we are
particularly looking for manuscripts that seek to have an impact
within and outside the IS discipline.
All defining aspects of “smart cities” such
as transport, energy, waste, buildings, living, government,
economy, and people are of interest. Relevant topic areas
include, but are not limited to:
· Information
systems for intergenerational collaboration in urban quarters
· Sharing
economy and resource efficiency
· Energy
informatics and urban smart grids
· Emergency
response and climate change action
· Information
technology for coastal management and protection
· E-government
initiatives for local inclusion in smart city quarters
· Urban,
inter-urban and urban-rural intermodal mobility and smart
transportation
· IS-induced
business model innovation for smart cities
· IS-enabled
citizen acceptance and user-participation/community-sourcing in
smart city concepts
· Migration
and cultural inclusion
· Open
data and local governments
Submission
Authors are asked to submit their papers
online by 01 July 2017 via the journal’s submission system

All papers must follow the typing and formatting instructions
for Business & Information Systems Engineering (BISE)
available at http://www.bise-journal.org.
