*Submission Deadline: 30 November 2020
Smart city is the culmination of applying cutting-edge
cyber-physical concepts to city resource management scenarios such
as water supply, energy distribution, transportation management
and public safety to streamline them for higher operational
efficiencies. This is made possible by the tremendous recent
advancement in technologies such as cloud computing, computer
networking, and Internet of Things. In smart city deployments,
sensors and actuators that generate and consume massive volumes of
data under diverse formats and ontologies will be integrated into
the overall system. The data created by the participating devices
need to be appropriately classified and related so that
duplication and conflicts can be minimized. To handle the massive
volumes of data in a timely manner and to prevent overloads in the
cloud infrastructure, newer edge computing paradigms need to be
developed.
This special issue mainly focuses on software services and cyber
infrastructure of smart cities, addressing both original
algorithmic development and new applications. We are soliciting
original contributions, of leading researchers and practitioners
from academia as well as industry, which address a wide range of
theoretical and application issues in this domain.
The topics relevant to this special issue include but are not
limited to:
- Enabling wireless communication technologies for smart cities
- High-speed networking infrastructure for smart cities
- Cloud computing infrastructure for smart cities
- Edge computing for smart cities
- Sensing and Internet of Things infrastructure for smart cities
- Energy aware or low energy systems and technologies
- Low maintenance embedded systems and networks
- QoS of smart city systems, applications, and services
- Service innovation and design to support smart cities
- Management, configuration and deployment of smart city
infrastructure
- Application, deployment, test-bed, and experiences in smart
cities
- Big data acquisition, preprocessing, data storage and management
for urban informatics
- Data privacy, security, and trust issues in smart cities
- Smart data for social entrepreneurship and community engagement
- Sharing economy in smart cities
- Mobile crowdsourcing for urban analytics
