The 5GiSC (5G in Smart Cities) conference focuses on utilizing the 5G technologies for making our urban environment more sustainable, increasing quality of life and efficiency of urban operation and services, and competitiveness while meeting the needs of present and future generations with respect to economic, social and environmental aspects.
Mobile cellular networks have become the main communication vehicle for the upcoming connected society. In addition to humans, billions of machines will be connected to the network in the Fifth Generation (5G) cellular communication systems.
The 5GiSC (5G in Smart Cities) conference focuses on utilizing the 5G technologies for making our urban environment more sustainable, increasing quality of life and efficiency of urban operation and services, and competitiveness while meeting the needs of present and future generations with respect to economic, social and environmental aspects.

This year, 5GiSC 2015 will be collocated with Smart City 360 Summit 2015 at Toronto, Canada, from October 13-16. The latest outcomes of these enabling technologies will offer plenty of opportunities for policy-makers, decision makers, researchers and implementers to learn, share, and collect experience sand best practices on the use of 5G to plan and operate sustainable urban communities. Scientific results, design concepts and technical solutions will be presented, as well as approaches, and professional experiences.

Topics:

1. 5G applications and services in smart cities
2. 5G requirements and network scenarios in smart cities
3. 5G End-to-end network architecture and infrastructure in smart cities
4. 5G Interworking between heterogeneous networks and technologies in smart cities
5. Software-defined 5G and network function virtualization in smart cities
6. Energy-efficient communications and networking
7. Security and privacy issues
8. Simulation, emulation, evaluation tools and testbeds
9. New business models
10. Spectrum, regulation, and standardization for 5G in smart cities

Highlights:

The event is endorsed by the European Alliance for Innovation, a leading community-based organization devoted to the advancement of innovation in the field of Smart Cities, ICT and e-Health and will be co-located with the Smart City 360 Summit.

Participation in this event will give attendees the unique opportunity to be exposed to all technical scientific aspects of Smart City related topic areas at co-located conferences, as well as be able to have full access to the Smart City market place and business aspects in practice at the Smart City 360 Summit.

All accepted papers will be published by Springer and made available through SpringerLink Digital Library, one of the world's largest scientific libraries. Best papers will be invited to publish also in the EAI Endorsed Transactions on Mobile and Communications and Applications.
