IEEE UMITS 2016 ITALY
International Workshop on Urban Mobility & Intelligent Transportation Systems
Towards the Operationalization of ITS

Jun 27-30, Messina, Italy

Co-located with the IEEE International Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC 2016)

Web Site: http://www.umits-iscc2016.dcc.ufmg.br/

OVERVIEW
UMITS 2016 provides a venue for discussing the latest scientific results and practical case studies on Intelligent Transportation Systems
(ITS) and Vehicular Communications. The workshop is directed at both academic researchers and practicing engineers. In  this  edition  we
focus on planning and managing ITS and how to move the technology from the laboratories to the cities. The topics  of  interest have been
carefully  selected to provide  a  comprehensive  overview of the  most  significant issues  related to Planning & Managing ITS. Thorough
comprehension of urban mobility enables the development of more realistic and sophisticated models for ITS. More sophisticated ITS models
enable the development  of  better  strategies  for  Planning & Managing ITS,  which may allow new insights into the application of novel 
technologies such as Internet of Things, Clouds, Software Defined Networks, Big Data, and Social Networking.

TOPICS OF INTEREST
The topics of interest have been carefully selected for a comprehensive overview on the most significant issues on Planning & Managing ITS.
