DETAILS ABOUT THE ISSUE
***************************
Developing smart city is the key to the next generation
urbanization process for improving the efficiency,
reliability, and security of a traditional city. The concept
of smart city includes various aspects such as environmental
sustainability, social sustainability, regional
competitiveness, natural resources management, cybersecurity,
and quality of life improvement. With the massive deployment
of networked smart devices/sensors, unprecedentedly large
amount of sensory data can be collected and processed by
advanced computing paradigms which are the enabling techniques
for smart city. For example, given historical environmental,
population and economic information, salient modeling and
analytics are needed to simulate the impact of potential city
planning strategies, which will be critical for intelligent
decision making. Analytics are also indispensable for
discovering the underlying structure from retrieved data in
order to design the optimal policies for real time automatic
control in the cyberphysical smart city system. Furthermore,
uncertainties and security concerns in the data collected from
heterogeneous resources aggravate the problem, which makes
smart city planning, operation, monitoring and control highly
challenging.
The topics of interest for this special issue include, but
are not limited to:
• Advanced big data modeling and analytics for smart city
planning, monitoring and control
• Social media, crowdsourcing and collaborative behavior
management
• Outdoor/indoor geolocation and cartography continuity
• Design and implementation of embedded system for smart
city applications
• Advanced control techniques in the smart city as a
cyberphysical system
• Technologies in electrical vehicle, smart building and
smart home
• Cybersecurity and privacy issues related to smart city
• Heterogeneous sensor network and cooperative sensing
for smart city
• Renewable energy and smart energy management for smart
city
• Design and synthesis of computing schemes and
architectures for smart city
• Development of fault detection and diagnosis techniques
for smart city
• Modeling and computing techniques for environmental and
social issues in smart city
• Sustainable technologies for smart city
