Workshop on Smart Cities: Harnessing AI, Generative AI, LLMs, and Distributed Computing for Urban Innovation (SC-HALED)

Scope

This workshop explores the transformative potential of smart cities by integrating cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), generative AI, large language models (LLMs), distributed computing, IoT, the metaverse, and other emerging technologies. It aims to address urban challenges such as sustainability, efficient resource management, citizen engagement, and data-driven governance. By focusing on innovative frameworks and practical solutions, the workshop fosters a multidisciplinary exchange of ideas to advance smart city initiatives globally.


Topics

Key topics include:

  • Distributed computing architectures for urban data integration and real-time decision-making.
  • AI-driven predictive models and analytics for city operations and management.
  • Applications of generative AI and LLMs in urban planning, policy formulation, and citizen interaction.
  • The role of IoT in connecting urban infrastructure and enabling smart services.
  • Leveraging the metaverse for immersive urban planning, training, and citizen engagement.
  • Ethical and governance challenges in deploying advanced technologies in urban settings.
  • Case studies and best practices from implemented smart city projects.

The workshop will serve as a platform for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to share insights, collaborate, and shape the future of smart cities using advanced computational and AI tools.
