Internet of Things for Smart City: Challenges and Solutions

This special issue belongs to the section “Computer Science & Engineering“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Along with the development of the Internet of Things (IoT), cities are increasingly embracing smart technologies and innovations. Smart cities combine internet-connected devices, smart sensors, and IoT, which can improve and streamline city management. Moreover, IoT-based systems provide many smart services, such as mixed land uses, transportation linkages, and urban services of high-quality with long-lasting economic growth by enabling person-to-object and object-to-object communications. However, the deployment of the domain of the application of IoT is a challenging task because it requires extensive financial planning and resources.

In our Special Issue, we discuss new issues and find a solution in the area of transportation, energy management, health, education, city services, surveillance, and technology-related issues.

Potential topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Smart transportation;
  • Energy management;
  • Health management and service;
  • City services;
  • Surveillance;
  • Smart electronics;
  • Smart factory;
  • Smart manufacturing;
  • Applications in Industry 4.0;
  • Big Data.
