IoT and Information Processing in Smart Energy Applications

Enabling Social- and Location-Aware IoT Applications in Smart Cities

In the last decade, governments, municipalities, and industries have invested large amounts of funds on research on smart cities with the main goal of developing services to improve people’s quality of life. Many proposals focus on a Cloud-centric network architecture in which all the data collected from a myriad of sensors devices is transferred to the Cloud for processing. However, this appro...

An Information-Centric Platform for Social- and Location-Aware IoT Applications in Smart Cities

Recent advances in Smart City infrastructures and the Internet of Things represent a significant opportunity to improve people’s quality of life. Corresponding research often focuses on Cloud-centric network architectures where sensor devices transfer collected data to the Cloud for processing. However, the formidable traffic generated by countless IoT devices and the need for low-latency servi...

Real-Time IoT Stream Processing and Large-scale Data Analytics for Smart City Applications

Smart Collaborative Caching for Information-Centric IoT in Fog Computing

The significant changes enabled by the fog computing had demonstrated that Internet of Things (IoT) urgently needs more evolutional reforms. Limited by the inflexible design philosophy; the traditional structure of a network is hard to meet the latest demands. However, Information-Centric Networking (ICN) is a promising option to bridge and cover these enormous gaps. In this paper, a Smart Coll...

Processing IoT Data with Cloud Computing for Smart Cities

A smart city requires the intelligent management of infrastructure like the Internet of Things (IoT) devices in order to provide smart services that improve the quality of human life. To obtain the information needed to implement smart city services, stream reasoning is used to intelligently process the big data stream constantly generated from IoT devices. However, there are constraints associ...
