Internet of Things (IoT) describes a world where everyday objects are always connected to the Internet, allowing them to communicate and interact with each other. By connecting these everyday objects to the Internet and making them available everywhere at any time, IoT allows to remotely monitor, manage, and gather status information about them and their surrounding environment. IoT is a revolutionary...
It is believed that technology will take over the day to day life of human begin. No one can remain isolated from the adaptation of technology. Hence it is the need of the hour to introduce a technology which will do the day to day life tasks in human life with smart and intelligent way. Hence, this paper critically discuss the emergence and progress of Internet of Every Things (IoET) as the next...
Internet of Vehicles is a special application of Internet of Things. In recent years, it has become an important symbol of the Smart City and Intelligent Transport System construction with increasingly attention from all circles at home and abroad. This paper is aimed to make an analysis and summary of the existing Internet of Vehicles technology, and expound the latest results and the product of...
Internet of Things (IOT), a notion of integrated and self-configuring devices, has pulled the attention of many researchers due to its surging popularity in recent years. Internet of Vehicles (IOV) is an important part of IOT when the prime focus is on vehicles as the underneath intelligent devices. The vehicle communication in IoV is being derived through Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs). While...
With the development of concept and practice, which includes strategy of "smart of the earth", smart of city and smart public services, human society going into a smart times. In the severe employment situation, the pressure of employment has been intensified on university students, Chinese universities should also follow the development of the times, thinking about the new ways and ideas...
The FI-CONTENT project aims at establishing the foundation of a European infrastructure for developing and testing novel smart city services. The Smart City Services Platform will develop enabling technology for SMEs and developer to create services offering residents and visitors to cities smart services that enhance their city visit or daily life. We have made use of generic, specific and common...
In the face of problems of communication network in the smart city, which is featured with the limited bandwidth and huge amount of data, it is difficult to ensure the validity of the data transmission. Based on the rate of timeliness and data transfer rate, this paper improves the LEACH algorithm, and shows that it can ensure the timeliness of various types of data transmission and improve the efficiency...
Smart cities are becoming more and more popular primarily due to increasing TIC innovations and administrative efforts from city councils to better connect citizens through stateof- the-art technology. Currently a smart city is no longer focused just on offering administrative services, but on providing useful and pervasive information to citizens and serving as basic data source for local companies...
Smart City has become the new developing target of modern city. Analyzing in depth the characteristics and connotation of Smart City and listing analysis dimensions for Smart City construction have the vital practical significance. This paper builds the 5I model of Smart City from four perspectives of information infrastructure construction, information perception and intelligent application, new...
Nach einer kurzen Begriffsfassung von Smart Cities gehen wir basierend auf den folgenden Beiträgen dieses Heftes auf verschiedene Eigenschaften einer solchen smarten Stadt ein. Dadurch versuchen wir den Ist-Zustand dieser Städte zu dokumentieren. Damit die jeweiligen Stakeholder (strategische) Entscheide treffen können, widmen wir danach ein Kapitel den Chancen und Risiken von Smart Cities. Anhand...
For more than two decade now, the Brussels Regional Informatics Centre (BRIC) has been focusing on transforming the Brussels-Capital Region into a smart city by organizing, promoting and spreading the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) for the benefit of Brussels citizens, authorities, administrations, businesses and visitors. The strategy of this public interest agency is exposed...
Nowadays, when more than half of the world's population lives in urban areas, when information and (mobile) communication technologies are real catalysts for innovations in all domains, there are a lot of studies and debates related to how our cities should become “Smart Cities”, “Smarter Cities” or “Future Cities”, in order to improve life quality and to reduce costs, to become a “Smart Learning...
With the advance and innovation of Smart city, the acquisition of tourism-related information and tourism product has become more convenient, further pushing forward the development of intelligent tourism and self-service travel. Based on data mining after introducing the development of Smart city in Hebei Province, this paper has also analyzed the tendency of Hebei tourism under this background and...
Internet of Things (IoT) aims at connecting people, things that are controllable via internet through a seamless integration that will improve the livability in the cities and communities. Several issues need to be addressed before IoT the way it has been envisioned, can exist. One of the issues will be spectrum scarcity due to high density of IoT devices. Considering the sporadic and multitudinous...
We discuss interoperability enhancement for sensor virtualization for smart cities. We propose a model of metadata and data conversion components for interoperability enhancement and introduce our research approach.
The current economic crisis, combined with growing citizen expectations, is placing increasing pressure on European cities to provide better and more efficient infrastructures and services, often for less cost. This trend has contributed to the growing popularity and use of the term ‘Smart City’ [1]. The Smart City, represent a new way of thinking about urban space by shaping a model that integrates...
In this paper, we discuss key findings, technological challenges and socioeconomic opportunities in Smart City era. Most of the conclusions were gathered during SmartSantander project, an EU project that is developing a city-scale testbed for IoT and Future Internet experimentation, providing an integrated framework for implementing Smart City services.
Urban growth may lead to various problems. The increasing number of citizens at urban areas may lead the increasing of demand such as new residential, public health, public transport. A city require basic infrastructure such as educational facilities, housing, clean water, sanitation, solid waste, electricity, telecommunications and so on. In the socio-economic level the increasing of city residents...
Smart city infrastructures provide unique opportunities for innovative applications developing and testing. Sensor city installations offer the ground for experimenting with user-oriented services, which at the same time can test and improve the infrastructure itself. The proposed work summarizes principles and methodology for and experiment, entitled SEN2SOC which will bridge sensor measurements...
Smart mobile devices are fast becoming the epicentre of people's lives. Most smart phones are currently embedded with powerful and programmable sensors such as GPS, gyroscope, microphone, camera, accelerometer etc. These sensor-enabled smart-phones would form an important element of the future networked-infrastructure. A new wave of services is bound to erupt from such connected infrastructure and...
