Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
IoT and Big Data sensor-based systems offer development solutions for smart cities, smart mobile, and intelligent transportation developed from field-specific services, such as mobility, economy, health, and infrastructure, to interoperability systems using digital structures. Thus, safety and security are the main elements that must be taken into account in the development of sustainable IoT architects based on Big Data.
IoT-based systems are of great interest for the development of the future infrastructures of intelligent cities and urban mobility, involving challenges around real-time operating requirements, precision, scalability, and dependence on large databases as a result of the collection of events.
The combination of IoT and artificial intelligence for decision making are a main element for developing the sustainability of smart city and smart country systems.
This multidisciplinary combination can provide a new perspective on implementing and developing innovative architectures for safe cities and increasing mobility. These architectures include applications such as monitoring and predictions based on IoT, drone, satellite, or urban databases and future urban infrastructures dedicated to autonomous cars. We request research in the field of information systems and artificial intelligence, as well as works based on innovative approaches for the development of intelligent cities and intelligent transport.
Dr. Catalin Dumitrescu
