Dear colleagues,

Please consider submitting a contribution to this thematic issue or share it with your contacts who might be interested:

Submission before March 1, 2025

Urbanization has modernized life but has also caused problems such as traffic congestion, energy consumption, and pollution. Urban computing aims to solve these problems using data generated by the city or opportunistic data obtained through crowdsourcing (e.g., traffic flow, human mobility, geospatial data). It integrates urban sensing, data management, analysis and service provision to continuously improve urban life, urban operations and the environment. Urban computing is interdisciplinary, merging computer science with fields such as civil engineering (e.g., transportation engineering), and sociology.

Smart environments are expanding from artefacts to smart cities, encompassing various urban activities. To understand and optimize urban mobility and human behaviour, machine learning models have been proposed. Smart mobility, or smart transport, is a vital component of smart cities, which use information and communications technologies (ICT) to reduce road accidents, energy consumption, CO2 emissions, noise and congestion. It represents a revolution in intelligent transport systems (ITS), intending to reduce traffic-related greenhouse gas emissions and economic losses due to congestion. Urban Computing covers a wide range of topics, including smart city applications, urban sensing, and spatial analytics. This thematic issue invites contributions focused on innovative methodologies for analyzing and predicting mobility patterns using diverse data sources like GPS traces, mobile phone data, transit logs, and social media feeds.

Potential topics of interest include but are not limited to:

Urban Computing
Mobility Pattern Analysis
Intelligent Transport Systems
Ubiquitous Transport Technologies and Ambient Intelligence
Volunteered Geographic Information
Behaviour Modelling
Smart Mobility in Smart Cities
Machine Learning in Mobility
Opportunistic Data Crowdsourcing
Emerging Mobility Services
On-Demand Shared Mobility Services
Emerging Mobility Technologies

—————————————— Call for Workshop and Tutorial Proposals ——————————————
European Conference on Machine Learning and Principles and Practice of Knowledge Discovery in Databases – ECMLPKDD 2025 will be held in Porto, Portugal, from 15th and 19th of September of 2025 Conference website: ecmlpkdd.org/2025/
Workshop and Tutorial Proposals webpage: ecmlpkdd.org/2025/submissions-workshop-track/
The ECML PKDD 2025 Organizing Committee invites proposals for workshops to be held on the first and last days of the conference (September 15th and 19th, 2025), which will take place in Porto, Portugal. We solicit proposals for full- and half-day workshops on current and emerging machine learning and data mining topics. Workshops allow discussion of novel topics in a small and interactive atmosphere. They can concentrate in-depth on research topics but can also be devoted to application domains, issues, or questions concerning the economic and social aspects of machine learning and data mining. Multidisciplinary workshops that bring together researchers and practitioners from different communities are particularly welcome. We also welcome proposals for less conventional ECMLPKDD workshop formats, e.g., those similar in spirit to CRAFT workshops at FAccT, which are currently running EU projects and other interactive events. We offer a waived registration fee for attendance at the main conference to one organizer or invited speaker for each accepted workshop. We intend to facilitate additional workshop-only waived registrations for invited speakers outside the ECMLPKDD community.
—————————————— Duration and format —————————————— We welcome full- and half-day workshop proposals and tutorial+workshop proposals. Full-day workshops have a program of typically 8 hours, including two 30-minute coffee breaks plus a lunch break. Half-day workshops have a 4 hours program with a 30-minute coffee break. Combined tutorial + workshop events start with a half-day tutorial followed by a half-day workshop. We encourage proposers to aim for a varied and exciting program. Especially where the workshop format is concerned, we would like you to consider going beyond the usual list of presentations of accepted papers. Remember that the main conference is necessarily more time-constrained, and workshops allow for group explorations of exciting topics through discussions, demo sessions, invited talks, and panels. Another way of extending the usual format is to include a specific challenge problem that can be addressed by the workshop participants with a dedicated challenge session in the workshop program. Note, however, that the challenge should be only one of the components of the workshop, targeting a problem specific to the workshop topic(s).
