ABSTRACT
Urbanization's rapid progress has led to many big cities, which have modernized many people's lives but also engendered big challenges, such as air pollution, increased energy consumption and traffic congestion. Tackling these challenges were nearly impossible years ago given the complex and dynamic settings of cities. Nowadays, sensing technologies and large-scale computing infrastructures have produced a variety of big data in urban spaces, e.g., human mobility, air quality, traffic patterns, and geographical data. Motivated by the opportunities of building more intelligent cities, we came up with a vision of urban computing, which aims to unlock the power of knowledge from big and heterogeneous data collected in urban spaces and apply this powerful information to solve major issues our cities face today.

Experiences from the Urban Computing Impact on Urban Culture
PCI '12: Proceedings of the 2012 16th Panhellenic Conference on InformaticsIn this paper we present CLIO an urban computing system used to form and interact with the collective city memory, formed by shared citizens' recollections. Our goal has been to study the impact of such a system on the urban culture and in particular ...
