The smart city initiative is being ICT driven, with arguments that it will help with disaster recovery and energy optimization or better resource management in cities. With major industry players such as IBM, Google and even Governments continuously investing in a ‘smart city a better society’ motto we are going into a technology led era where everything will become everything-as-a-service adopting models from Cloud computing. With political visions for urban areas being transformed into technology-oriented cities, it raises various concerns from all levels of risk, security, infrastructures and economy inorder to provide all service issues in small and large scale cities. Most of these issues need a multi-disciplinary approach for policy makers, technologists, software developers, researchers and academics to work together to find optimum solutions for current resource management problems and how technologies can be used for bettering the society. Internet of Things (IoT) enables various infrastructures to be interfaced with each other to ensure communication through mobile connectivity, web services and sensors. Cloud computing also forms a key ingredient and medium to enable smart city ICT. Various examples of knowledge-based cities include Kyoto, Amsterdam, Hull, Copenhagen, arguing that ICT can support democracy and economy. These projects use huge amounts of data being created and managed but at the moment have little transparency on the kind of laws being programmed into the software used. Security laws, governance laws and monitoring of citizens using sensors and M2M connectivity has repercussions on citizens through legal systems and online practices. Data encryption can be one way of securing the data being saved but legal, political (democracy), openness of information knowledge, economies, governances, and policy are still very sketchy at the moment. This workshop aims to bring together interdisciplinary papers discussing how Cloud and IoT, and their current research needs that need to be addressed for transforming current cities into technology led smart cities.
