Title:
Towards Sustainable Smart Cities: Trends and Open Challenges in Smart Cities
Affiliation:
Kyungpook National University, South Korea
|
| Abstract: Smart city is an application of Internet of Things (IoT) notion. Unceasing growth of population and urbanization have intensified innovative ways to handle urbanization with minimal impact on environment, citizen lifestyles, and governance. Initial integration of information communication technology (ICT) into city operations have promoted telicity, information city, and digital city concepts. Later, the conception of IoT has founded the smart cities, which support the city operations intelligently with minimal human interaction. Smart city emerged as a solution to address the challenges arise with exponential growth of urbanization and population. However, smart city concept is still evolving and not mainstreamed throughout the globe due to technological, economical, and governing barriers. Therefore, this speech aims to deliver the essence of smart cities. The speech will present a brief overview of smart cities, followed by trends in real-world implementations of smart cities. Finally, I will present some challenges that we have identified through extensive literature survey on smart cities.

Title:
Energy-Efficient Communications in HetNets
Affiliation:
National Taiwan, China University (NTU), Taiwan, China
|
| Abstract:Energy savings in cellular systems is increasingly important due to ever-deteriorating global warming. Heterogeneous networks (HetNets) composed of multiple tiers of cells could attain energy savings thanks to the lower operational and transmit power consumptions of small cells. To address the inter-cell interference problem while achieving network energy conservation, multicell cooperation facilitating cooperative transmission and sleep mode operation paves the way toward future green HetNets. To further alleviate the backhaul power consumption induced by cooperative transmissions, proactively caching popular contents locally is regarded as a viable solution. This talk will focus on how to achieve energy-aware multicell cooperation in HetNets with content caching, and show that the place-then-transmit strategy is optimal to this problem. I will then talk about how green multicell cooperation and shareable caching in HetNets can be facilitated via a connect-then-cache strategy. Both of the above two problems are NP-hard; therefore, we are motivated to design approximate solutions and show that the achieved total power consumption can be upper-bounded.

Prof. Hua Wang
Title:
Security and Privacy-preserving Challenges of e-Health Solutions in Cloud Computing
Affiliation:
Victoria University, Australia
|
| Abstract:This talk shows a systematic and comprehensive review of security and privacy-preserving challenges in e-health solutions, and indicates various privacy preserving approaches to ensure privacy and security of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) in the cloud. This study highlights the research challenges and directions concerning cyber security to build a comprehensive security model for EHR. It presents various aspects of several articles and identified the following tasks:1) EHR security and privacy (2) Security and privacy requirements of e-health data in cloud (3) EHR Cloud Architecture, (4) Diverse EHR cryptographic and non-cryptographic approaches. We also discuss some crucial issues and the ample opportunities for advanced research related to security and privacy of EHRs.
