SMART CITIES - SCHAHRAM DUSTDAR STEFAN NASTIC O...

This book presents a coherent  novel vision of Smart Cities  built around a value-driven
architecture. It describes the limitations of the contemporary notion of the Smart City and
argues that the next developmental step must actively include not only the physical
infrastructure  but information technology and human infrastructure as well  requiring the
intensive integration of technical solutions from the Internet of Things (IoT) and social
computing.The book is divided into five major parts  the first of which provides both a general
introduction and a coherent vision that ties together all the components that are required to
realize the vision for Smart Cities. Part II then discusses the provisioning and governance of
Smart City systems and infrastructures. In turn  Part III addresses the core technologies and
technological enablers for managing the social component of the Smart City platform. Both parts
combine state-of-the-art research with cutting-edge industrial efforts in the respective
fields. Lastly  Part IV details a road map to achieving Cyber-Human Smart Cities. Rounding out
the coverage  it discusses the concrete technological advances needed to move beyond
contemporary Smart Cities and toward the Smart Cities of the future.Overall  the book provides
an essential overview of the latest developments in the areas of IoT and social computing
research  and outlines a research roadmap for a closer integration of the two areas in the
context of the Smart City. As such  it offers a valuable resource for researchers and graduate
students alike.
