Systems, Applications and Services for Smart Cities
This special issue belongs to the section “Intelligent Sensors“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the last few years, interdisciplinary information and communications technologies (ICT) are increasingly being used to build smart and large-scale systems. ICT technologies, such as IoT (Internet of Things), 5G, data analytics, machine learning, deep learning, smart sensors, and artificial intelligence have further enabled the realisation of future smart cities.
This Special Issue will address standards, technologies, systems, research, implementation, deployment, applications, benchmarking, and policy. It will also cover various aspects of smart cities, such as smart transport, energy, homes, living, emergency security services, emergency protocols, quality of environment, smart health as telemedicine or bioengineering applications, artificial Intelligence, software and requirements engineering, human–computer interaction, individual methods, techniques in knowledge acquisition and representation, and the application, evaluation, and construction of systems.
