Smart X 2017 - Workshops

The workshop aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners working on Smart Land and Resources to discuss what are emerging research issues and how to explore the Intelligence of Land and Resources. The goal is to increase the visibility of land and resources studies in China and to develop a stronger research network for top level Chinese scholars. We welcome submissions on any research issues on land and resources in China including on the following topics:

Smart spatial analysis and spatial statistics
Smart land and resources development
Smart urbanization and urban development
Application of geoinformation in smart urban planning, smart city approaches and related fields

Notification of acceptance will be sent out by 20 April 2017 and a complete paper is expected by 15 May 2017.

The workshop will bring together about 40 participants from China and abroad. Each presentation will be about 30 minutes in length with time for questions and discussions to provide constructive feedback for presenters. There will also be opportunities for authors, editors and scholars to interact, network and explore the possibility of developing joint research.

Accepted and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases. Distinguished papers selected from the workshop, after further extensions, will be recommended for submission and publication in the Special Issue: "Big Data and Smart Cities" of Big Data Research, Elsevier.
