This half-day workshop aims to explore the forefront of AI-based analysis, modeling, and applications in optimizing urban environments using a human-centric approach, merging the analysis of urban structures with the study of human dynamics in urban environments. As cities evolve into increasingly complex ecosystems, the integration of artificial intelligence offers unique insights into the urban structures and developments, as well as the behavior, decision-making processes, and interactions of people in these cities. This workshop will explore ways in which AI can be used to understand and model environmental aspects and human-related dynamics in urban settings. We invite scholars from a broad range of disciplines to submit extended abstracts that contribute to the diversity of this emerging field, which encompasses a variety of aspects such as urban navigation, mobility and urban complexity, smart city development, geo-privacy, land-use/ land-cover change and its impacts, etc.
The workshop will provide a platform for researchers to shape the future of urban human-dynamics research through the lens of AI by presenting their cutting-edge research, participating in collaborative discussions, and contributing to a call for papers for a special issue in a renowned journal.
Key topics and areas of interest for extended abstract submission include but are not limited to:
This workshop aims not only to highlight current research and developments in the areas mentioned above but also to foster a collaborative environment in which ideas and methods can be shared. By bringing together scholars from different fields and at different levels of seniority, we aim to create a rich, interdisciplinary dialog that will advance the field. The objectives of this workshop reflect these aspirations:
Based on the objectives and the topical foci, the key planned outcomes are:
Submitted extended abstracts must not exceed two pages (excl. references) and will be reviewed (single-blind) by at least two program committee members. The final versions will be made publicly available as proceedings having a DOI through the Open-Access repository of the TU Wien. At least one of the paper authors must register for the workshop. Please use this LaTex template for your submission. Please submit your papers by email to .
We are aiming for a highly interactive, half-day workshop. There will be a sequence of elevator pitch presentations, followed by breakout group discussions on the draft Call for Papers for the special issue. The workshop will conclude with a summary of these discussions to make final decisions on the CfP for the special issue and plan the next steps.
