Tue May 19 01:24:29 PDT 2015

Thanks Pierre. We will now work to submit this presentation. It will also be a good opportunity to bring together ideas from our Urban Science thematic http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GeoForAll_UrbanScience_CityAnalytics

Best wishes,

Suchith

Suchith,

The last day to submit for ESA's EO conference was this day that just passed.
Maria and I did submit a proposal for NASA Web World Wind. And right now, the
CitySmart app is certainly a primary focus. If there is anything you can do
to help secure that presentation or another one for 'CitySmart', let's do it.

Great suggestion for the title!  "CitySmart - The Open Platform for Smart
Cities."  That's it!

-Patrick

Also my suggestion is why not submit this for the Earth Observation Science
2.0 Conference of the ESA  http://www.eoscience20.org/  . It nicely fits in
with the Earth Science Virtual Research Environment theme and also Citizen
Science.

I had a phone call with Pierre Philippe Mathieu of the European Space Agency
yesterday to discuss other collaborations in Summer Schools etc with the
Research Data Alliance and CODATA, so i can follow up with if you agree. The
ESA conference has much more impact than the Wessex conference.

Best wishes,

Suchith

Patrick - abstract looks great. Thanks for this.  Just a suggestion for the
title of the paper "CitySmart - An Open Platform for Smart Cities".

Charlie,

299 words, how close are we to something we can submit our plans for a city
we all want to live in? I may have spent too much time defining the problem
versus specifying the solution. All criticism welcome!!! As long as it comes
with a constructive alternative. : -)

CitySmart - The Open Platform for Smart Cities

The world is shrinking, actually we are getting larger in it, and the cities
have to absorb today’s exponential increase in population. World population
since the ‘second industrial’ revolution after 1850s has grown from 1 billion
to almost 8 billion today. In 1950 at a mere 2.5 billion, we were almost
evenly distributed between rural and urban. Today, in the developed world,
approximately 80% of the population lives in cities.

This is creating very difficult conditions for sustainability, much more
simply managing basic city services. We must learn to be more efficient along
with being more effective. To most wisely achieve this goal, we need a more
collective approach to problem-solving. Many, if not most of the challenges
facing the cities of today are quite similar in nature, if not identical,
from infrastructure management to essential public services. Why must each
city solve these problems alone? If the cities of the world were to share
solutions with each other, they could each focus on different parts of the
problem and thereby only bear the burden for a small fraction of the load.
And by working together we may come to better appreciate what we share in
common as well as experience the joys of being able to help each other.

We propose to establish a single, open source, virtual globe platform,
CitySmart, with an open API for functionalities (the menu system). We will
seed this platform with an initial suite of functionalities that include
tools for managing a renewable power grid, wind and solar, based on the
success stories of municipalities in northern Italy. We will include
functionalities for managing input of LiDAR data and infrastructure such as
water and sewer. This will be in concert with the City of Springfield Oregon,
who has made significant advances in these areas.

Charlie,

Good idea! Since this is just the 300 words for acceptance of a paper and not
the paper itself, I’ll be glad to give it a shot. I will route that later
today for comment, before submitting, unless somebody beats me to it.

-Patrick

Sustainable City 2016, Alicante, Spain, 12 - 14 July 2016

http://www.wessex.ac.uk/16-conferences/sustainable-city-2016/page-4.html

Abstracts of no more than 300 words should be submitted as soon as possible
by clicking on the 'Submit an Abstract' button found at the top and bottom of
[that] page. Abstracts should clearly state the purpose, results and
conclusions of the work to be described in the final paper.

Once your abstract has been reviewed, you will be notified of the acceptance
of your abstract and be given a submission date as well as instructions on
how to prepare your paper.

Final acceptance will be based on the full-length paper, which if accepted
for publication, must be presented at the conference.

We encourage early submission of abstracts and papers to facilitate
registration and travel arrangements.

To colleagues in our "Urban Science/City Analytics/Smart City" group

It would be good to have a paper on some component of our group's emerging
efforts to the conference below...
