Fog Computing for Sustainable Smart Cities

Fog Computing for Smart Living

The World Health Organization projects that the number of people living in cities will nearly double over the next few decades, so urban centers need to provide more sustainable solutions for smart living. New technologies— such as materials, sensors, wireless communications, and controls—will be necessary to manage living environments that proactively sense behavioral and health risks and prov...

Orchestrating infrastructure for sustainable Smart Cities

A Mobility Management Using Follow-Me Cloud-Cloudlet in Fog-Computing-Based RANs for Smart Cities

Mobility management for supporting the location tracking and location-based service (LBS) is an important issue of smart city by providing the means for the smooth transportation of people and goods. The mobility is useful to contribute the innovation in both public and private transportation infrastructures for smart cities. With the assistance of edge/fog computing, this paper presents a full...

Smart Sustainable Cities: Definition and Challenges

In this chapter, we investigate the concept of Smart Sustainable Cities. We begin with five major developments of the last decades and show how they can be said to build a basis for the Smart Sustainable Cities concept. We argue that for the concept to have any useful meaning, it needs to be more strictly defined than it has previously been. We suggest such a definition and bring up some of the...

Big Data and Context–Aware Computing Applications for Smart Sustainable Cities

Information processing is increasingly embedded in the systems and processes of the contemporary city to enhance its operations, functions, and designs. This has been fueled by the new digital transition in ICT enabled by an integration of various forms of pervasive computing. Driving this transition predominantly are big data analytics and context–aware computing and their increasing amalgamat...
