We are delighted to welcome you to the 2014 ACM MM Workshop on Emerging Multimedia Applications and Services for Smart Cities -- EMASC'14. This is the first workshop we organize on the emerging concept of smart cities. We aim this workshop to be a premier forum to report on the state-of-the-art techniques, methodologies, multimedia applications, and services relevant to smart city. The mission of the workshop is to address the many challenges that arise from the proliferation of multimedia, sensors, pervasive devices, and integrated infrastructure for realizing smart city. Addressing these challenges would contribute to improve the quality of life of smart city citizens in many aspects including public safety, healthcare, transportation, or energy.
Our call for papers attracted many submissions from Taiwan, Finland, Italy, Qatar, United States, Canada, Iran, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, and Australia. The program committee reviewed 17 full length technical papers and accepted 6 of them, having an acceptance ratio of 35%.
We also invited two keynote speakers who are actively involved in IBM smart cities movement. We therefore encourage all attendees to attend the keynote presentations. These presentations will provide us valuable insights about the current status and future trends of smart cities movement in both the industry and the academia. The two keynote speeches are:
Human Surrogates: Remote Presence for Collaboration and Education in Smart Cities by Charles Hughes, PhD (Professor, Computer Science, University of Central Florida, USA)
Industrial and Business Systems for Smart Cities by Ben Amaba, PhD (PE, CPIM®, LEED® AP BD+C, IBM Corporation Worldwide Executive, Miami, Florida USA)

Human Surrogates: Remote Presence for Collaboration and Education in Smart Cities
A human surrogate is any object, virtual, physical or even a blend of virtual and physical, that acts as a stand-in for a human. Surrogates can be directly controlled or just given a specific task to carry out on behalf of a human. In the context of a ...

We consider the problem of efficiently using smartphone users to augment the stationary infrastructure sensors for better situation awareness in smart cities. We envision a dynamic sensing platform that intelligently assigns sensing tasks to volunteered ...
A Cloud-Assisted Internet of Things Framework for Pervasive Healthcare in Smart City Environment
Recently, cloud computing and Internet of Things (IoT) have made their entrance in the pervasive healthcare field in smart city environment. However, the integration of IoTs and cloud computing in healthcare domain impose several technical challenges ...
Reducing Traffic Congestion Using Geo-fence Technology: Application for Emergency Car
Rapid growth of urbanization has attracted attentions toward sustainability. Creating smart cities can contribute to the green growth of countries because of their socio-economic, socio-environmental and eco-efficiency benefits. Intelligent ...
Industrial and Business Systems for Smart Cities
To truly develop Smart Cities a combination of multi-media, human factors, and user-centered systems methodology and design principles will have to be applied. Large capital projects and development of Smart Cities could turn to the use of cloud, ...
Detection and Visualization of Emotions in an Affect-Aware City
Smart cities use various deployed sensors and aggregate their data to create a big picture of the live state of the city. This live state can be enhanced by incorporating the affective states of the citizens. In this work, we automatically detect the ...
Multi-device Interaction for Content Sharing
The exponentially growing trend of multi-device ownership creates both a need and an opportunity to migrate content and on-going user tasks from one device to another of the same user, which is more suited for the current context of use or the task at ...
An Intuitive Touch Screen Interface for Car Remote Control
The CarStar interface and subsequent user evaluation show a correlation between visually analogous representations of functionality and ease of use. Tapping into users current knowledge-base about automobiles seems to be among the more effective methods ...
