Welcome to the 1st International Workshop on Social Media Analytics for Smart
Cities (SMASC 2017)
In conjunction with the ACM International Conference on Information and
Knowledge Management (CIKM 2017), Singapore

In an increasingly digital urban setting, Connected & Concerned Citizens
typically give voice to their opinions on various civic topics online over the
social media. Efficient and scalable analysis of these citizen voices on social
media to derive actionable insights is an essential need for developing smart
cities. The very nature of the data namely its heterogeneity and dynamism, the
lack of large annotated corpora, and the need for multi-dimensional analysis
across space, time and semantics, makes urban social media analytics
challenging. This workshop is dedicated to the theme of social media analytics
for smart cities, with the aim of focusing the interest of CIKM research
community on the challenges in mining social media data for urban informatics.
We are interested in fostering cross collaboration between researchers on
information retrieval, social media analytics, linguistics, social scientists,
and civic authorities, to develop scalable and practical solutions to the real
life problems of cities as voiced by their citizens in social media. The aim of
this workshop is to encourage researchers to develop techniques for urban
analytics of social media data, with specific focus on applying these techniques
to practical urban informatics applications of smart cities.

This workshop is dedicated to the theme of urban social media analytics for
smart cities, with the aim of focusing the interest of CIKM research community
on the challenges in mining social media data for urban informatics.

Topics of interest include but not limited to

1.Combining space, time and semantic analysis of urban informatics sources on
social media

2.Novel visualization of urban social media data across spatio-temporal
dimensions

3.Natural language processing and text mining techniques for urban informatics

4.Semantic Web techniques for multi-sourced urban informatics data

5.Knowledge and non-obvious relation extraction across multiple social media
data sources for urban analytics

6.Handling noisy social media data on urban civic issues

7.Social media apps for urban informatics

8.Graph analysis of social media data for urban informatics

9.Case studies of leveraging social media data in real life civic management and
urban planning

10.Applications of social media citizen generated data on civic issues for smart
cities

Submission Guidelines:

Authors are invited to make original, unpublished submissions that are not
previously published, accepted to be published, or being considered for
publication in any other forum.

1.Regular Research Papers: These papers should report original research results
or significant case studies. They should be at most 8 pages.

2.Application Papers. These papers will present novel urban informatic
applications of social media data. They should be at most 6 pages.

3.Position Papers. The extended abstracts will present novel research directions
or identify challenging problems. They should be at most 4 pages

4. Case Studies. The extended abstracts will present case studies from real-life
experiences of developing/deploying urban informatic applications using social
media data and/or challenges/issues faced. They should be at most 4 pages.

Manuscripts should be submitted electronically, as PDF formatted using the ACM
camera-ready templates (http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template).
Full papers cannot exceed 10 pages in length and short papers cannot exceed 4
pages in length. Papers should be submitted through the SMASC online submission
system
(https://easychair.org/conferences/submission_new.cgi?a=15156761;track=186905).

All reviews will be double-blind, and submissions must be properly anonymized.
Lack of anonymization may result in rejection without review. Submissions will
receive an “accept” or “reject” decision based on the version that was
submitted.

At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the workshop before
the final version submission deadline.
