Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A smart city can be defined with a digital layer which can be used to plan and manage. Now, regularly sensors are sending data in immense repository under the name of big data. Those data must be mined to discover knowledge which can be useful in daily practice and future planning. Those knowledge chunks can come from data mining or deep learning.
The scope of this special issue is to regroup first class papers dealing with knowledge discovery in smart cities by presenting methodologies not only to extract knowledge chunks, but also to model them. We are overall looking for case studies and novel experiences in this domain linked with practical applications.
