I-CiTies 2024 - 10th CINI Annual Conference on ICT for Smart Cities & Communities

Conference Topics

The tenth edition of the conference builds upon the achievements of the previous editions in integrating the key ICT technologies in a multidisciplinary approach for Smart Cities, where social, cultural, and technical elements are interleaved to tailor the specific objectives of the city and of its citizens. The conference will host academia, industries, and public institutions to serve the citizens’ requirements, thereby enhancing the quality and novelty of urban services, while reducing their overall costs. Participants will meet to forge new collaborations in anticipation of upcoming national or international project opportunities. It is not solely aimed at disseminating theoretical scientific endeavors, but primarily aims to showcase innovative solutions, ongoing research initiatives, and novel proposals for future collaborations.

Expected contributions will target all the fields related to ICT-based solutions for smart cities and communities and include, but are not limited to, the following application domains:
