Due to request of delaying the submission by several authors, the
deadline of "Cities, Technologies and Planning" (CTP 12) for
submitting full paper has been extended to 28 February, 2012.
"Cities, Technologies and Planning"
CTP 12

in conjunction with
The 2012 International Conference on Computational
Science and its Applications (ICCSA 2012)
June 18th - June 20th, 2012
Federal University of Bahia , Salvador de Bahia, Brasil

Description
‘Share’ term has turned into a key issue of many successful
initiatives in recent times. Following the advent of Web 2.0, such
positive experiences based on mass collaboration generated
“Wikinomics” have become “Socialnomics”, where “Citizens are voluntary
sensors”.
During the past decades, the main issue in GIS implementation has been
the availability of sound spatial information. Nowadays, the wide
diffusion of electronic devices providing geo-referenced information
have resulted in the production of extensive spatial information
datasets. This trend has led to “GIS wikification”, where mass
collaboration plays a key role in main components of spatial
information frameworks (hardware, software, data, and people). Some
authors (Goodchild, 2007) talk about “Volunteered Geographic
Information” (VGI), as the harnessing of tools to create, assemble,
and disseminate geographic information provided by individuals
voluntarily creating their own contents by marking the locations of
occurred events or by labeling certain existing features. not already
been shown on map.
The term “neogeography” is often adopted to describe people activities
when using and creating their own maps, geo-tagging pictures, movies,
websites, etc. It could be defined as a new bottom – up approach to
geography prompted by users, therefore introducing changes in the
roles of ‘traditional’ geographers and ‘consumers’ of geographical
contents themselves. The volunteered approach has been adopted by
important American organizations, such as US Geological Survey, US
Census Bureau, etc.
Whilst technologies (e.g. GPS, remote sensing, etc.) can be useful in
producing new spatial data, volunteered activities are the only way to
update and describe such data. If, on one hand, spatial data have been
produced in various ways, on the other hand remote sensing, sensor
networks and other electronic devices generate a great flow of
relevant spatial information concerning several aspects of human
activities or of environmental phenomena monitoring.
This “Information-Explosion Era” is characterised by a large amount of
information produced both by human activities and by automated
systems; the capturing and the manipulation of this information leads
to” urban computing” and represents a sort of bridge between computers
and the real world, accounting for the social dimension of human
environments. This technological evolution produced a new Paradigm of
Urban Development, called “u-City”.
Such phenomena offer new challenges to scholars (geographers,
engineers, planners, economists, sociologists, etc.) as well as to
spatial planners in addressing spatial issues and a wealth of brand-
new, updated data, generally created by people who are interested in
geographically related phenomena. As attention is to-date dedicated to
visualization and content creation, little has still been done from
the spatial analytical point of view and in involving users – as
citizens – in participatory geographical activities.
The programme committee especially requests high quality submissions
on the following Conference Themes:
SDI and Planning;
Planning 2.0; Participation 2.0;
Urban social networks, Urban sensing;
E-democracy, E participation, Participatory Gis;
Technologies for eParticipation, policy modelling, simulation and
visualisation;
Second Life and participatory games;
Ubiquitous Computing Environment - Urban computing - Ubiquitous-City;
Neogeography;
Collaborative mapping;
Geotagging;
Volunteered Geographic Information;
Crowdsourcing;
Ontologies for Urban planning;
City Gml;
Geo-applications for mobile phones;
Web 2.0; Web 3.0;
Wikinomics, Socialnomics;
WikiCities;
Maps mash up;
Tangible Maps and planning;
Augmented Reality;
Complexity assessment and mapping.
Each paper will be independently reviewed by 3 programme committee
members. Their individual scores will be evaluated by a small sub-
committee and result in one of the following final decisions:
accepted; accepted on the condition that suggestions for improvement
will be incorporated; or rejected. Notification of this decision will
take place on March 2012.
Individuals and groups should submit complete papers (10 to 16 pages).
Proceedings
Papers accepted to "Cities, Technologies and Planning" will be
published in the ICCSA Conference proceedings, in Springer-Verlag
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series, with doi, indexed by
Scopus and DBLP.
Participants to “Cities, Technologies and Planning" CTP 12 will be
invited to submit an extended version of their paper for a special
issue on “International Journal of E-Planning Research (IJEPR)”. The
selected manuscripts will undergo the standard peer review process of
"IJEPR".
Extended version of "Cities, Technologies and Planning" CTP 11 papers
have been included in the special issue: "NeoGeography and
WikiPlanning" (21 papers submitted under review process).
