Draft paper submission deadline：2019-06-28

We are pleased to announce and invite you to participate in the 16th International Conference on Computational Urban Planning and Urban Management (CUPUM), Wuhan, China, July 8-12, 2019.

New official website of CUPUM 2019: https://www.cupum2019.org/

Participants have a choice of three possibilities: book chapters, conference papers & posters with options for further selection for journals:

+ Choice 1: Book Chapter (review process finished, now in the revision stage, deadline for final version February 25, 2019)

Approximately 25 contributions well-fitting to the central conference theme of 'Computational Urban Planning and Management for Smart Cities’ have been selected based on a double blind review process by the Scientific Committee for inclusion in a book, published by Springer Publishers. The abstracts of the selected chapters will be included in the conference proceedings too. Inclusion of the contribution as a chapter in the book implies the transfer of its copyright to Springer Publishers. Moreover, it implies its presentation at the conference.

+ Choice 2: Conference Paper (deadline February 28, 2019)

Besides book chapters it is possible to submit a paper for inclusion in the conference proceedings. The Local Committee of the CUPUM Conference will select these conference papers after a review process. Each paper should be between 4000 and 6000 words in length, including notes, figures, tables, references, et cetera. All selected papers should contain at least an abstract (max. 150 words), introduction, methodology section, conclusions, and recommendations.  The selected papers will be included in the digital conference proceedings.  The selection of the paper for inclusion in the Conference Proceedings also implies its presentation at the conference. Furthermore, authors of papers are encouraged to choose for one of the theme issues of four selected journals. At submission, please indicate clearly for which special issue you would like to be selected.

Selected contributors will be contacted by the conference organizers and theme issue editors for possible inclusion in the theme issue based on the outcomes of a thorough review process:

Smart Cities

Smart Cities (ISSN 2624-6511) is an international scientific peer-reviewed open access journal on the science and technology of smart cities. The Editor-in-Chief of Smart Cities is Prof. Dr. Pierluigi Siano from University of Salerno, Italy. Prof. Dr. Michael Batty is an editorial board member of this journal.  After this conference, we will select and recommend some high-quality papers to the special issue "Big Data-Driven Intelligent Services in Smart Cities" on Smart Cities (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/smartcities/special_issues/BDDISSC). All articles published in Smart Cities (ISSN 2624-6511) are published in full open access. Further information could be found at https://www.mdpi.com/journal/smartcities.

+ Choice 3: Conference Poster (deadline February 28, 2019)

Posters can be selected for inclusion in the conference. The Local Committee of the CUPUM Conference will select these conference posters after a review process. Each poster should contain an extended abstract of between 400 to 800 words in length, including notes, figures, tables, references, et cetera.  The abstracts of the selected posters will be included in the conference proceedings.  The selected posters should be presented at the Conference. There will be a competition for the best poster, which will be selected by the CUPUM Board and will receive an official award.

All book chapters, conference papers, and posters include an abstract that contains a title, a short description of the proposed topic, sources of data, methods, and a discussion of the implications of the research for urban planning and urban management. All book chapters, conference papers, and conference posters should also contain keywords to identify the area of research. Moreover, all contributions should be accompanied by the name, affiliation, address, telephone number, and email address of each author.
