Message from the Workshop Chairs

Abstract

Organizers of the Workshop on High Performance Computing for Smart Cities (WHPCSC 2019) are proud to present the selected papers in the current proceedings. This edition of the event is part of Creating City initiative, a group formed in 2016 by worldwide researchers focused on cutting-edge solutions for modern cities. The terms Smart and Digital Cities have been used to describe recent advances towards more accessible, self-adaptive and information-based cities. The building blocks of a Smart City are technological devices capable of communicating, processing information and becoming part of the decision-making, but this requires high-performance computing together with computational intelligence capabilities. With these ideas in mind, previous events were organized by the group focused on Computational Intelligence field, such as the 1st and 2nd Workshops on Computational Intelligence and Smart Cities, while this workshop finally touched the fundamental aspects of High Performance Computing (HPC) together with Smart Cities.
