The introduction of the Information and Communication Technologies throughout the last decades has created a trend of providing daily objects with smartness, aiming to make human life more comfortable. The paradigm of Smart Cities arises as a response to the goal of creating the city of the future, where (1) the well-being and rights of their citizens are guaranteed, (2) industry and (3) urban planning is assessed from an environmental and sustainable viewpoint. Smart Cities still face some challenges in their implementation, but gradually more research projects of Smart Cities are funded and executed. Moreover, cities from all around the globe are implementing Smart City features to improve services or the quality of life of their citizens. Through this article, (1) we go through various definitions of Smart Cities in the literature, (2) we review the technologies and methodologies used nowadays, (3) we summarise the different domains of applications where these technologies and methodologies are applied (e.g. health and education), (4) we show the cities that have integrated the Smart City paradigm in their daily functioning and (5) we provide a review of the open research challenges. Finally, we discuss about the future opportunities for Smart Cities and the issues that must be tackled in order to move towards the cities of the future.

“…Recently, wearables have gained much attention for a wide range of the IoT applications, especially in a broad smart environment area where automation is brought close to the users. Smart environments include smart cities, smart buildings, smart homes, smart transportation, etc., for enhanced urban development to improve the overall quality of life [100]. For instance, wearables can be used to optimize heat and electricity management in smart buildings where heat and electricity can be managed for optimal user experience and resource-saving [101].…”

Personal mobile devices such as smartwatches, smart jewelry, and smart clothes have launched a new trend in the Internet of Things (IoT) era, namely the Internet of Wearable Things (IoWT). These wearables are small IoT devices capable of sensing, storing, processing, and exchanging data to assist users by improving their everyday life tasks through various applications. However, the IoWT has also brought new challenges for the research community to address such as increasing demand for enhanced computational power, better communication capabilities, improved security and privacy features, reduced form factor, minimal weight, and better comfort. Most wearables are battery-powered devices that need to be recharged-therefore, the limited battery life remains the bottleneck leading to the need to enhance the energy efficiency of wearables, thus, becoming an active research area. This paper presents a survey of energy-efficient solutions proposed for diverse IoWT applications by following the systematic literature review method. The available techniques published from 2010 to 2020 are scrutinized, and the taxonomy of the available solutions is presented based on the targeted application area. Moreover, a comprehensive qualitative analysis compares the proposed studies in each application area in terms of their advantages, disadvantages, and main contributions. Furthermore, a list of the most significant performance parameters is provided. A more in-depth discussion of the main techniques to enhance wearables' energy efficiency is presented by highlighting the trade-offs involved. Finally, some potential future research directions are highlighted.

A Smart Cities focuses on the way we live. Smart governments are also acknowledged as augmentations of electronic governments based on the Internet of Things (IoT). There are many existing challenges in the environment such as, research in gadgets, framework and programming etc. Particularly, the Smart Cities are facing difficulties with IoT frameworks, systems administration, independent registration, wearable sensors, gadgets and systematization of aggregates including human beings as well as programming specialists. This paper incorporates role of Smart Cities in various domains such as smart infrastructure, smart building, smart security and so on. Moreover, the work depicts the IoT technologies for Smart Cities and the primary components along with the features of Smart Cities. This paper is based on technologies for Smart Cities which will benefit citizens by facilitating a platform for integrating all the resources and prompt communication of information. Furthermore, merits, demerits and main challenges of Smart Cities are discussed.
