SSC 2025

The Workshop on Sensors and Smart Cities has been an integral part of the SmartComp conference, providing a dedicated forum for discussing the latest advancements in sensing technologies, the Internet of Things (IoT), and intelligent urban infrastructures.

A smart city represents a technological and structural evolution of modern urban environments, leveraging Information and Communications Technology (ICT) to enhance sustainability, optimize urban services, and improve citizens’ quality of life. Cities function as dynamic ecosystems where interconnected object, such as street furniture, public buildings, transportation systems, and public lighting, continuously interact and exchange data. The IoT paradigm envisions these objects as smart and connected, enabling real-time monitoring of mobility, energy consumption, air pollution, and other key environmental parameters.

The integration of sensor networks, AI-driven analytics, and IoT platforms fosters the cyber-physical convergence of smart cities, allowing for the deployment of adaptive services and evaluation mechanisms to assess their sustainability, efficiency, and overall impact. The Workshop on Sensors and Smart Cities provides a valuable platform for researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to present their latest findings, exchange ideas, and explore innovative solutions within this rapidly evolving field.
