Internet of Things, Computing, and Communications Technologies in Smart Cities
A section of Smart Cities (ISSN 2624-6511).
Section Information
Scope:
This section explores the foundational and emerging technologies enabling ubiquitous sensing, intelligent data acquisition, distributed processing, and secure communication across smart cities. It encompasses research on IoT architectures, low-power and high-bandwidth sensor networks (LPWAN, 5G/6G, RFID), edge/fog/cloud computing paradigms, and resilient communication infrastructures.
Contributions dealing with AI-enhanced data processing, federated learning, privacy-preserving mechanisms, and semantic interoperability will also be welcome, due to the increasing requirement of decentralized and intelligent urban systems.
Topics include the design, deployment, and interoperability of sensing and computing systems for applications such as environmental monitoring, infrastructure resilience, intelligent mobility, public safety, and participatory services. Contributions addressing the computational frameworks, data platforms, digital twins, and cybersecurity strategies required to manage the urban data deluge securely and efficiently are especially welcome.
