This paper discusses the use of stream reasoning models and techniques to provide a stream reasoning-based architecture to represent, manage and process data streams produced in the Smart City context, to extract useful knowledge for a better understanding of city phenomena and to support the decision making processes in both the city governance and the citizens. The proposed architecture, taking...
In addition to the lowering of consumption, the smart grid of the future will be able to reduce the peak levels of demand through a more efficient allocation of consumption over the day. For this purpose, end users need to rely on energy monitoring and control systems that provide detailed information about how and when to use and indicate how actively to contribute to the reduction of peak demand...
In the following contribution an attention is devoted to the system description of the urban and economic function of settlements considered as the “Smart Cities”. There is a general approach respecting main urban properties and functions as objects of smart control of basic functions from the system theory point of view. There is an introduction to methodology of description of multi-system functions...
This paper presents smart system that bypasses the normal functioning algorithm of traffic lights, triggers a green light when the lights are red or reset the timer of the traffic lights when they are about to turn red. Different pieces of hardware like microcontroller units, transceivers, resistors, diodes, LEDs, a digital compass and accelerometer will be coupled together and programed to create...
Modern Information and Communication Technologies are definitely a key factor to develop the green and sustainable applications that the so-called "smart city" needs. Effective management of resources, gathering and interpreting data as well as ecological considerations are prerequisites to turn such a vision into reality. The European FP7 project DIMMER address these issues by providing...
Smart City frameworks address new challenges to improve efficiency and sustainability of services for citizens, providing additional features and allowing the city environment to adaptively configure according to collected data and information. To this aim, Decision Support Systems, DSS, have recently been acquiring increasing importance in such a context. This paper presents a Smart Decision Support...
The aim of this paper is to identify and compare the evaluation models for social networks (SN) that can be installed in or utilized by a smart city. Evaluation purposes concern SN either selection or performance measurement. In this order, this paper investigates the SN domain with regard to the smart city. More specifically, it uses literature findings in order to demonstrate how SN can be evaluated...
The application domain of Urban Internet of Things systems are designed for the objective of the Smart City: to take advantage of the latest communication technologies in order to provide optimal services. One important element of Smart Cities is the Smart Building. Smart Building (SB) is a new concept where the building benefits from the development of automation and communication technologies to...
This paper is part of a wider work- developed in the context of URBANETS project — Sustainable Management of Urban Networks with the Use of ICT- and of scientific research projects, mainly, on traffic and environmental requirements for Brindisi and Gallipoli. The paper is structured by considering different aspects having as an objective the satisfaction of transport knowledge needs with regard to...
