There have been tremendous developments in theories and technologies control for smart systems. In this paper we review applications to various systems that are crucial the future of cities, example enterprise manufacturing systems, transportation energy data centres. Beyond discussing existing technological trends methodological approaches developed so far managing controlling such also provid...

The world’s urban population is growing enormously, increasing of energy usage, air toxicity, and traffic congestion in areas which need a furthermost effective way for solutions. Smart city as solution expected to solve the functionality systems. It needs improve ICT infrastructure an authoritative, adaptable, accessible, secure, flexible one, quality daily lifetime, refine citizen’s healthine...

With the growing number of people living in cities, the challenges faced by government to maintain service delivery to an acceptable standard are immense. ‘Smart cities’ is a new and innovative approach that allows the city to use current infrastructure and resources more efficiently. Not many smart city projects have been implemented in developing countries, where challenges that will affect t...

Cities present new challenges and needs to satisfy and improve lifestyle for their citizens under the concept “Smart City”. In order to achieve this goal in a global manner, new technologies are required as the robotic one. But Public entities unknown the possibilities offered by this technology to get solutions to their needs. In this paper the development of the Innovative Public Procurement ...

A contemporary trend is that more and more people are moving into cities, which causes the cities to grow at fast pace. This leads to a situation for the city where many challenges needs to be handled in order to develop a sustainable and attractive city for its citizens. For instance, housing, economy, culture, social and environmental conditions are challenges that needs to be grappled with f...

The European Nations foresee a growing population and a trending urbanization that pose significant environmental and social concerns. To manage these concerns municipal decision makers’ attempt to leverage the smart city concept with collaboration between external actors as a means to maintain the prepossessed living standard in the city. By developing a framework based on existing literature ...

Intelligent or smart cities rely on collaboration networks among human communities, innovation ecosystems, and digital infrastructure, applications and e-services, which enable the urban challenges of competitiveness, sustainability and inclusion to be addressed more efficiently. This urban paradigm is characterized by continuous transformation, fuelled by evolutions in innovation ecosystems, b...

In recent years, the advancement of sensor technology has led to the generation of heterogeneous Internet-of-Things (IoT) data by smart cities. Thus, the development and deployment of various aspects of IoT-based applications are necessary to mine the potential value of data to the benefit of people and their lives. However, the variety, volume, heterogeneity, and real-time nature of data obtai...

In this article we present a case study of our experiences of using existing IoT infrastructure to create a campus scale “living laboratory” for promoting energy savings and environmental sustainability. As a series of lessons for others creating IoT systems from existing city infrastructures we offer the challenges we have experienced through our attempt to join up and re-purpose existing ener...

In a rapidly changing socio-technical environment cities are increasingly seen as main drivers for change. Against this backdrop, this paper studies the emerging Urban Living Lab and Smart City concepts from a project based perspective, by assessing a series of five Smart City initiatives within one local city ecosystem. A conceptual and analytical framework is used to analyse the architecture,...
