The conference activity will be heldwithin 5 Workshops.

Workshop 1

Environmental engineering in urban construction, Urban ecology innovation

The state services sector, including municipal facilities and urban development, is a complicated branch, which cannot easily adopt any of new technologies. However, it is vitally important to introduce and apply newest technological approaches in municipal management. This workshop aims to present both product and process innovations in municipal facilities and urban development. Product innovations include projects of implementing eco-friendly and energy efficient technologies. Process innovations, among other issues, include innovations in organization and management of the structure of municipal facilities and of urban development. Process innovations also comprise implementing of IT systems, improvement of standing orders, rules and codes, modifying of tariff regulation system and so on.

We are welcoming all the works associated with but not limited to the following issues:

1. Environmental engineering Projects
2. Innovation Process Management
3. IT Innovations for Municipal Facilities and Urban Development
4. The environmental problems directly related to energy production and consumption
5. Water resource management and water quality
6. Waste management (transport, treatment, storage, and disposal practices of all manner of waste, including municipal solid waste, hazardous waste, and nuclear waste, identifying and categorizing waste types)
7. Environmental restoration
8. Air pollution management and control and other

Workshop 2

Workshop 3

Energy Efficiency in Municipal Facilities and Urban Development

Governments of most countries are concerned with energy efficiency issues. It would be to the benefit of all the interested parties if rational approaches of energy using were implemented. People would benefit from the significant utility costs reduction. Saving resources, increasing productivity and enhancing competitiveness would be favorable for a government. Reduction of the greenhouse effect and gas emissions would positively influence the environment. Energy companies would benefit from the construction and fuel costs reduction. The workshop aims to provide the opportunity to share views, ideas and experiences of implementing the best resource management practices in order to create more eco-friendly and cost-effective environment in cities.

We are welcoming all the works associated with but not limited to the following issues:

1. Public Energy Services (incl. Heat supply, Electricity, Gas supply, Water Supply)
2. Energy Tariff Management and Effective Tariffication
3. Energy Saving Solutions
4. Energy Efficient Facilities and Devices
5. Alternative Energy Sources and Green Energy

Workshop 4

Process Reengineering and Information Systems for Sustainable Urban Development

Nowadays, it is hard to picture ways to execute urban development without using modern methods of business reengineering such as business process management and information systems management. The first one ensures result-oriented business activity, the second one provides for efficient and timesaving information processing, and result in sound decision making. The workshop is dedicated to the issues about how to balance between business and IT in management systems, approaches to process reengineering and optimization, assessment methods, how to implement information systems, IT services reengineering, IT architecture development in the context of information systems and information technologies for municipal facilities and urban development empowering.

We are welcoming all the works associated with but not limited to the following issues:

1. Balance between business and IT;
2. Service-oriented enterprise architecture development;
3. Business process reengineering;
4. IT architecture reengineering;
5. Software engineering;
6. Decision support systems;
7. Data storage and data analysis;
8. E-government;
9. Cloud technologies;
10. IT service management;
11. Methods to assess, optimize and develop  process management and information systems;
12. Performance of process reengineering and information systems implementation projects;
13. Cases of enterprise architecture development projects.

Workshop 5

Transport System Management, Transport Modeling and Transport Planning for Sustainable Development

Effective transport infrastructuredevelopmentis one of the key aspects of sustainable development of modern city environment. Elaboratetransport connectionsbased on analytical models and on information systems for transport planning and modelingcompile one of basic conditions forprovidinghigh social and economic living standards. The workshop therefore aims to think over approaches of developing, analyzing, modeling and planning of transport systems, to consider evaluation methods for transport project efficiency and to review the practical examples of implementing transportation solutions.

We are welcoming all the works associated with but not limited to the following issues:

1. Reducing CO2 Emissions from Vehicles
2. Decarbonising logistical activities
3. Sustainable transport instruments
4. Strategies for low-emission mobility
5. Transport Infrastructure for Sustainable Development of Cities
6. Transport Modeling Issues
7. Transport Development and Planning
8. Transport Projects and Their Efficiency
9. Information Systems for Transport Modeling and Planning
10. Smart Transport Systems
11. Elaboration of Guidance and Standards of Transport Infrastructure
