Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are on the onset of a new era of global transformation, in which residents and their surrounding environments are increasingly connected through rapidly changing intelligent technologies. This transformation offers great promise for improved wellbeing and prosperity but poses significant challenges at the complex intersection of technology and society.
Future smart connected cities, in turn, aim to synergistically integrate intelligent technologies with the natural and built environments, including infrastructure, to improve the social and economic wellbeing of those who live, work, or travel within it. Future Smart Cities have been prevalent in modern critical infrastructures, including power generation and manufacturing plants, transportation, healthcare, etc., and security, as well as the trustworthiness of such systems, have become crucial. Furthermore, the IoT-based smart city paradigm is considered to follow the latest wave of world information technology after the computer and the Internet. With the proliferation of techniques in the smart city paradigm, many challenges emerge in achieving trust privacy and security in the context of the smart city paradigm.
This SI aims to bring together researchers from academia, industry, and government agencies to understand the innovative technologies to achieve security and trust privacy in future smart cities. Submitted papers are expected to cover solutions using state-of-the-art and novel approaches for the smart city related to cost-effectiveness, security, and sustainability problems as well as challenges.
