*Second International Workshop on* *"Econometrics and Multidimensional evaluation in Urban Environment"* *EMEUE 13*
*http://dau049.poliba.it/organising.htm * * * * in conjunction with The 2013 International Conference on Computational Science and its Applications (ICCSA 2013) June 24th - June 27th, 2013 International University, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam http://www.iccsa.org/<http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.iccsa.org%2F&h=sAQGRwLRH&s=1> * *Description* Many urban policies emphasize the role of evaluation, as support of plans and programs, and in the same time, demand a better measure of economic dimension in planning. The new economic evaluation consider as well the ecological measure in the light of sustainability of development. The general focus of the session is therefore the evolution of evaluation methods in plans and programs, in the way is possible for methods to across web-communication-technologies. In someway, on one side we look at recalling to the memory the increase of econometric modeling of the early seventies and eighties, this time in the light of a new way to intend the relationship between urban geography and spatial statistics, on the other side we look at a new role of communication technologies to improve the multidimensional evaluation, by using the web as way to spread information, and democratize the assessment in multi actor processes. In that part of the scientific world that use soft econometric modeling Multicriterial/multigroup analyses can be “done on the web”; on the other side, in the other part of the world, that use robust data management, we need to overcome the traditional geo-statistical models that support econometrics withdrawing data and validating metadata. Maybe these two part of the world need to be linked. Multidimensional approaches in the field of urban economics, from the econometric approach to qualitative evaluation; new analytical and empirical approaches, hard, soft, fuzzy multicriteria analysis, multidimensional computing, bio-econometrics, spatial econometrics, MCDM in environmental, cultural and urban economics move between the two extremes. The aim of the workshop, that is held for the first time in ICCSSA conference, is to analyze the improvement in the filed of multicriteria decision making, multidimensional appraisal and econometrics, looking at the role and the support of spatial infrastructuring of data. The approaches are spread in many fields, from the traditional spatial urban economics, to the real estate economics and to the newest bio-econometrics. Papers on theoretical argumentation and new experimentation will be welcome, expecially in the field of : Social Multicriterial Evaluation Fuzzy multicriterial evaluation AHP innovative experience Geostatistics Real estate modeling Urban economics Real Estate Mass appraisal Multicriteria decision making and Gis-supported MCDM Econometrics, Spatial econometrics, Bioeconometrics Each paper will be independently reviewed by 3 programme committee members. Their individual scores will be evaluated by a small sub-committee and result in one of the following final decisions: accepted, or accepted on the condition that suggestions for improvement will be incorporated, or rejected. Notification of this decision will take place on April 2013. Individuals and groups should submit complete papers (10 to 16 pages). Accepted contributions will be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) volumes *Authors Guideline* Please adhere strictly to the formatting provided in the template to prepare your paper and refrain from modifying it.
