The central theme of the conference is Smart Cities from the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) point of view. In this context, a Smart City is a city that takes advantage of this technology in order to improve resource management, and citizen’s quality of life and participation. All this with respect for the environment and sustainable development.

Smart Cities is a key subject for the development of the cities and an important challenge of our current time. In contrast with the previous century, nowadays most of the people live in a city. The growth of cities is worrisome, that is why, Smart Cities is a priority issue amongst governments and private companies, an issue that is far from being a fad.

The conference is an excellent space to known and present important contributions on the subject of Smart Cities as well as a great opportunity for networking.
