Introduction
There is considerable interest in developing cities that provide not only an intelligent and green living environment but also providing human-centered public services at a lower cost. Artificial intelligence (AI) will be the cornerstone technology enabling smart cities to evolve into an organic ecosystem. Particularly, developments in Internet of Things (IoT), AI, intelligent IoT devices, smart sensing boosted by AI, and IoT big data mining with AI are driving this transformation. This book aims to present the latest research in the design and development of smart cities and services. Specifically, this book discusses the concept, framework, and supporting systems for smart city construction. It incorporates a large number of the current theoretical concepts to analyze smart city evaluation index, comparison and ranking, combining with a large number of practical cases to introduce the development and application of artificial intelligence in the construction, management and service of smart city. The role and mechanism of smart city in urban governance, planning and policy is also discussed.
Objective
The bright future of smart city has motivated many scientific and engineering challenges for both academia and industry, in order to fully exploit the capabilities and benefits brought by IoT and AI. Some important areas are smart city IT infrastructure planning; framework, protocol, algorithm for smart sensing and data mining; novel intelligent hardware platform or software framework; smart city modeling; security and energy efficiency. The objective of this book is to provide a platform for researchers to present their recent work on how IoT and AI can work together to enable a real smart city. Thus, this book targets recent research findings in AI applications for Smart City. It discusses state of the art techniques in urban infrastructure design, construction, operation, maintenance, and management.
Target Audience
This book will be a tremendous resource for both academia and industry. In academia, the book can be used as a reference book in the graduate and undergraduate courses that cover urban planning and smart city development. Since the book will also have sufficient coverage of different technologies such as IoT, AI, Blockchain, and Information Technology, it can also be used as a reference book in the management information systems courses. The book will also be useful for practitioners who are engaged in designing and developing smart cities. Particularly, for people who are developing AI based services and systems in support of Smart Cities, this book will provide valuable information and case studies that can be used as exemplars. It will also be suitable for various IT system integration companies, software companies, relevant personnel of smart city construction and operation department, and information centers of local governments.
