Towards a smart city based on cloud of things, a survey on the smart city vision and paradigms

Abstract

Smart city represents one of the most promising, prominent and challenging Internet of Things (IoT) applications [1]. In the last few years, indeed, the smart city concept has played an important role in academic and industry fields, with the development and deployment of various middleware platforms and IoT‐based infrastructures. However, this expansion has followed distinct approaches creating, therefore, a fragmented scenario, in which different IoT ecosystems are not able to communicate between them. To fill this gap, there is a need to re‐visit the smart city IoT semantic and to offer a global common approach. To this purpose, this paper browses the semantic annotation of the sensors in Cloud, and innovative services can be implemented and considered by bridging Cloud of Things (CoT) and IoT. Things like semantic will be considered to perform the aggregation of heterogeneous resources by defining the CoT paradigm. We survey the smart city vision, providing information on the main requirements and highlighting the benefits of integrating different IoT ecosystems within Cloud under this new CoT vision. This paper also discusses relevant challenges in this research area. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Barriers to the Development of Smart Cities in Indian Context

“…Smart cities development needs higher research and technological innovations. There are different technological developments related to the IoT and Cloud computing in smart cities (Li et al 2015;Petrolo et al 2017;Whitmore et al 2015). Li et al (2015) and Whitmore et al (2015) quoted in their research that IoT technologies will play key role in making cities more efficient and improving the lives of citizens.…”
