The LiveCity Workshop on Smart and Pervasive Communications for Enhanced
Communities 2013 will be organized in Paris — France, 17 June 2013,
co-located with 4th International Conference on SmArt COmmunications in NEtwork
Technologies (SaCoNeT’2013).

SCOPE
———-
The LiveCity Workshop on Smart and Pervasive Communications for Enhanced
Communities will be held in conjunction with the 4th International Conference on
Smart Communications in Network Technologies (SaCoNeT 2013) in Paris, France,
June 17, 2013. The workshop is endorsed by the Technical Committee on SaCoNeT
2013 and by the ICT PSP LiveCity research project.

The LiveCity implements a range of pilots for city communities across the public
Internet by building a wireline and 4G wireless network of 5 cities, including a
right of way without interference from unwanted traffic. These communities could
range from emergency ambulances, hospitals, doctors, patients, museum curators,
city administrations and schools. The main goals and contributions include, but
are not limited to, authenticated and encrypted traffic, live and secure
interactive video-to-video, improvements for health services and city
administration, reduction of fuel costs and carbon footprint, enhanced education
techniques and augmented city experiences for tourists and cultural consumers.

Despite all the opportunities envisioned for future services and applications -
such as improved education, security, elderly support, among others – several
communication and technical challenges must still be addressed by researchers,
ensuring feasible and sustainable solutions with scalable and affordable options
to include, replace or improve existing services.

This workshop, sponsored by the Live City Project, will provide a forum in which
these issues and opportunities will be discussed amongst researchers, industry
stakeholders and the general community, leading to a better understanding of
current state-of-the-art research approaches and future challenges.
