Therefore, the ultimate objective is to develop smart living environments, improve living conditions of citizens, automate city servicesandprocesses,developopenandtransparentsystems,and,ingeneral,build smarter and connected communities. Goal is to ensure that citizens’ needs are met andtheyaretechnologicallyempoweredtoaffectthecity’sfunctioningfollowinga technologically led and citizen-centered-government approach. Apart from the desire to use the technology for the sake of speed, openness, transparency, and effectiveness, there are currently a range of challenges that our citiesfacethatdrivethecitiestourgentlymovetonextlevelsofurbanization.These challenges include factors such as the following: rise in unemployment due to global economic downturn; pressures on housing sector due to growing demand, transportation,andhealthcareduetoincreaseinpopulation;concernsaboutclimate change; paradigm shift toward online entertainment and services; pressures on public finances and city resources due to increased awareness on the part of the general public; and the requirement to empower citizens to affect the working of localandfederalgovernments.Fortunately,relevantcomputingtechnologies,social media offerings, distributed computing paradigms, mobile crowdsourcing, cyber-physical cloud computing, IoT frameworks, communication protocols, and device connectivity approaches are already well established to achieve citizens’ vii viii Preface empowerment to consume e-services provided by smart cities; and to allow city officials to interact directly with the community and monitor digital environments. With this background, there is an urgent need for properly integrated solutions taking into account a number of related aspects including big data analytics and devices security; signaling and device detection; devices and data management; communication protocols and connectivity platforms; network bandwidth and topology; seamless connectivity and interoperability; and worldwide regulations and legal compliance. In this context, this book aims to investigate development, management, gov- ernance, and monitoring approaches to building smart cities; and distributed computingenvironmentstherein.Majorityofcontributionsinthisvolumefocuson various aspects of related methodologies and approaches; device connectivity and communication; and security and interoperability. Thirty-two researchers and practitioners of international repute have presented latest research on frameworks, current trends, case studies, and suggestions for further enhancement of the IoT-based smart cities vision. Hopefully, the current text, Smart Cities—Development and Governance Frameworks, will fillagapwithrespecttosmart living insmart environments and extend the existing body of knowledge in this field. Objectives The aim of this volume is to present and discuss the state of the art in terms of frameworks,methodologies,challenges,andsolutionsforIOT-basedsmarterliving environments. The core objectives include the following: (cid:129) Capturing the state-of-the-art research and practice with respect to the issues and limitation of smart city environments; (cid:129) Presenting case studies illustrating approaches, best practices, examples, and practical solutions; (cid:129) Discussing corporate analysis and a balanced view of benefits and inherent barriers to smart city developments and management; (cid:129) Developing a complete reference for students, researchers, and practitioners of distributed computing systems and environments; (cid:129) Identifying further research directions and technological innovations in the context of distributed computing environments and IoT. Organization Thereare13chaptersinthisvolume:SmartCities—DevelopmentandGovernance Frameworks. These are organized in three parts, as follows: Preface ix Part I: Frameworks and Models Thissectionhasafocusonapproachesandmethodologies,relatingtothenextmore advanced levels of urbanization. There are four chapters. In the first contribution, the authors present a recursive and layered approach to model large-scale resource management systems for self-sustainable cities. The second chapter discusses the security and privacy issues in relation to social, management, economy, and legal aspects of a smart city. The third contribution presents a novel architecture for hybridvehicular wireless sensor networks,VANET-WSN,asacore component of smartercities.Thenextchapterproposesapricingmechanismforthemanagement ofnaturalresources,withparticularemphasisontheenergysector,inthecontextof smarter living environments; case studies are also presented. Part II: Challenges and Opportunities Thispartofthebookcomprisesfivechaptersthatfocusonissuesandsolutions.The first chapter discusses generic challenges of building intelligent distribute systems for smart cities.
