This is a co-located workshop with the 2019 IEEE Smart World Congress and the 3rd IEEE Conference on Smart City Innovations (IEEE SCI 2019) that will be held in Leicester, UK, between 19-23 August 2019. The overall conference theme for the 2019 edition will be to investigate how Smart City Innovations can manage issues surrounding reliability in addition to considering how ideas and concepts can be deployed on a large scale.
Decision making is a core activity in daily human lives. Despite its increasing importance to cope with various problems in the context of smart cities (such as planning, energy assessment, policy-making, etc.), decision making can sometimes become a daunting task due to e.g. the participation of large and diverse groups of stakeholders with conflicting opinions, or the presence of numerous decision criteria and humongous relevant data. Effective and highly scalable Decision Support Systems are thus on high demand in these settings. Recommender Systems (RecSys) are a widespread data-driven decision support paradigm to provide users with personalisation services, tailored products or relevant information based on analyzing - and learning from - data describing their preferences, profile, context, behavioural patterns, etc. Personalisation and decision support approaches are impacting our daily lives not only as customers but more generally as citizens, visitors, patients, etc. Adapting to the current and ever-changing context around citizens and visitors, and helping them make the right decisions amid numerous available options, provides an added value in improving their experience and helping them benefit from on-demand services. Example domains in these contexts include:
All papers should be of up to 6 pages including all figures, tables, and references. At most 2 additional pages with the pages overlength charge, may be allowed. Papers must be prepared according to the IEEE CPS format via IEEE Manuscript Templates for Conference Proceedings. All accepted workshop papers will be included in the proceedings published by IEEE-CS Conference Publishing Services. The papers should be submitted through the Easychair conference management system. Authors of accepted papers, or at least one of them, are requested to register and present their work at the conference, otherwise their papers will be removed from the digital libraries of IEEE CS after the conference.
