This book was released on 2023-10-13 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pragmatic Internet of Everything (IOE) has emerged as a powerful paradigm for representing and solving complex problems. This reference demonstrates how to coordinate behaviour among a collection of semi-autonomous problem-solving agents: how they can coordinate their knowledge, goals and plans to act together, to solve joint problems, or to make individually or globally rational decisions in the face of uncertainty and multiple, conflicting perspectives. The book presents a collection of articles surveying several major recent developments in Pragmatic Internet of Everything (IOE). The book focuses on issues and challenges that arise in building IOE systems for smart cities in real-world settings. It also presents solutions to the issues faced by system architects. The synthesis of recent thinking, both theoretical and applied, on major IOE problems makes this essential reading for anyone involved in the design and planning of IOT systems for smart cities. Key Features - Summarizes available literature and practical ventures with reference - Merges different perspectives on IoT technology thereby giving a 360-degree perspective to the reader - Gives some tips for implementation of practical ventures in this space - Includes an analysis of information gathered from citizens of smart cities

Download or read book Smart City Assessment written by Azzam Abu-Rayash and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2024-08-23 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Smart City Assessment: A Novel Framework for Development and Evaluation of Smart Cities outlines a new assessment model for smart cities, including energy, environmental, and economic factors. It introduces a new paradigm to the understanding of smart cities by defining it using eight main domains, each domain using four specific performance indicators. This book defines a smart city as one with a smart environment, smart economy, smart society, smart culture, smart governance, smart energy, smart infrastructure, smart transportation, and one that is resilient to pandemics and global emergencies. This book begins by outlining these basic elements of a smart city, from sustainability to transportation networks. It then proposes a framework for evaluation, before analyzing both technological and socioeconomic factors in more detail. Central to the reader’s understanding are the wide range of detailed case studies based on real-world cities, analyzing their smart-ness and demonstrating the application of a Smart City Index ranking based on the assessment criteria. The application of this novel and comprehensive methodology is applied on 20 cities worldwide and trends, relationships between indicators and domains are assessed to better understand the dynamic connections in this composite network of indicators. Providing the theoretical background as well as the practical assessment tools necessary, this book offers a timely discussion of the criteria and development for smart, sustainable urban living. Offers a grounding in the fundamentals of smart city design and criteria, from environmental standards to energy needs for transport and infrastructure Provides a brand-new model for assessing cities according to a Smart City Index, identifying gaps in sustainability and infrastructure Illustrates the use of this assessment through multiple detailed real-world examples, including discussion of potential weightings Discusses the impact of governance and policy on moving forwards
