CALL FOR PAPERS
-------------------------------------------------
This one-day Design Fiction workshop aims to provide a forum for
researchers, practitioners, and activists to discuss and extend current
concepts regarding smart cities creatively. This will be used to inform a
new holistic and sustainable approach to smart cities, including a broad
spectrum of vulnerable stakeholders who currently have no representation or
are under-represented in the process of developing new technologized
environments.

We invite all interested people from both academia and
practice/non-academia. Both target groups apply via a Google form in which
you describe your motivation to participate and your background.
Submissions should critically reflect on how your research or interests
address issues related to smart cities and/or vulnerable target groups.
Your prior experience does not have to be specifically concerned with smart
cities, but the application forms will be expected to demonstrate how their
work is relevant to the workshop’s topic and can be applied within the
workshops’ context.

All application forms will be reviewed based on relevance and potential for
contribution to the workshop. At least one co-author of each accepted paper
must register to attend the workshop.
