Scope

People and goods move completely differently from how they moved about ten years ago. Nowadays, thanks to scientific-technological advances, people and goods can move in a smart way and, in the coming years, the idea of smart moving will become familiar as today are the ideas behind smart cities, smart work, smart environment, etc. People and goods must exploit the technologies to move in an intelligent way because smart moving brings benefits to the entire society.

Self-driving cars, delivery of goods through drones, conversational interfaces, personal objects able to monitor our health, and ambulances that arrive before being called, are just a few examples from a smart moving scenario. Needless to say, there are several challenges that need to be addressed. For instance, understanding citizens’ opinions and behaviors means social sensing and data analysis; understanding the environment means developing a monitoring and control network with tens of thousands of sensors; developing novel city/citizen services means business models, but also privacy and security; increasing society well-being means health-care monitoring and management, energy and traffic control and urban planning; integrating citizens within the society means geolocation, human-machine-interface and gamification; foreseeing movements and necessities of citizens means data analysis, novel communications paradigms and cloud computing; self-driving cars means image analysis, artificial intelligence, and ethic policies.

Smart moving is novel concept and this special session aims to gather practitioners with different background and different perspective from both Academia and Industry to further our knowledge in the area of smart moving. Novel proposals, best-practices, pitfalls and case studies from different and inter-disciplinary points of view will be well accepted.
