INCITS Seeks Additional US Experts for INCITS/Smart Cities, US TAG to JTC 1/WG 11 on Smart Cities

The InterNational Committee for Information Technology Standards (INCITS) is coordinating US efforts to the newly
established ISO/IEC JTC 1/WG 11 on Smart Cities and seeks additional US experts to join the US TAG or mirror
committee, INCITS/Smart Cities.

The second meeting of INCITS/Smart Cities will be held by WebEx from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM (Eastern) on November 21,
2016.

JTC 1 published a preliminary report on the emerging area of Smart Cities in 2014.

Program of Work

JTC 1/WG 11 on Smart Cities was established at the October 2015 JTC 1 Plenary with the following terms of reference:

1. Serve as the focus of and proponent for JTC 1's Smart Cities standardization program.

2. Develop foundational standards for the use of ICT in Smart Cities - including the Smart City ICT Reference
Framework and an Upper Level Ontology for Smart Cities - for guiding Smart Cities efforts throughout JTC 1 upon
which other standards can be developed.

3. Develop a set of ICT related indicators for Smart Cities in collaboration with ISO/TC 268.

4. Develop additional Smart Cities standards and other deliverables that build on these foundational standards.

5. Identify JTC 1 (and other organization) subgroups that are developing standards and related material that
contribute to Smart Cities, and where appropriate, investigate ongoing and potential new work that contributes to
Smart Cities.

6. Develop and maintain liaisons with all relevant JTC 1 subgroups.

7. Engage with the community outside of JTC 1 to grow the awareness of, and encourage engagement in, JTC 1
Smart Cities standardization efforts within JTC 1, forming liaisons as is needed.

8. Ensure a strong relationship with Smart Cities activities in ISO and IEC.
