Sensors: Special Issue on IoT enabled Smart Cities

Sensors-SmartCity 2020


Artificial Intelligence





The Special Issue aims to present high-quality research and recent technology advances towards IoT-enabled Smart Cities. Relevant topics include all aspects of IoT systems in the city domain. Sensing of and actuation on aspects of the physical world provide the basis; sensor networks communicate and initially process sensor data. IoT architectures integrate sensor networks and support processing and control loops on the edge and in the cloud. Security and data quality schemes enable resilient data exchange. Raw data are processed to become information; information is combined and knowledge extracted, enabling the understanding of current and the prediction of future situations. Applications in different domains utilize this understanding to efficiently react in real time, or analyze past situations to improve future behavior.
You are invited to submit original papers that present significant advances of the state of the art regarding IoT-enabled Smart Cities, including but not limited to the following topics:
• Sensor networks for Smart City infrastructure monitoring
• IoT for mission-critical infrastructures of the Smart City
• Edge/Cloud IoT architecture
• Knowledge extraction using machine learning
• Crowd estimation and mobility management
• Semantic modeling of city knowledge
• Digital twin for the Smart City
• Blockchain technology applied to IoT-enabled Smart City
• IoT-enabled circular and collaborative economy in the Smart City
• Monetization and business models for Smart City data
• Application, deployment, testbed and experiments in the Smart City
• Standardization related to the Smart City
