Urban and Civic Science |
Moderator: Bill Howe |
|
|
| |
Previous XLDB events explored challenges, needs and lessons
learned from a variety of domains in science and industry.
This year special emphasis is given to the emerging field of
data-intensive urban science and urban informatics -- "smart
cities." Researchers, practitioners, and policy makers from
a variety of fields are working to help cities become more
efficient, more productive, more equitable, and more livable
by bringing together new, massive data sources, complex
analytics, and new technologies. In addition, there is an
open data revolution underway aimed at improving
transparency, efficiency, accountability The session will
walk us through the relevant challenges, needs, approaches
and lessons learned that the urban science community is
facing, and how the XLDB community can engage.
