Abstract

Smart cities collect and utilize various types of geo-referenced data in order to enhance the performance and quality of urban services, such as governance, transportation, energy use, and air quality monitoring. Information and communication technologies (ICT), including Internet of Things (IoT) systems and networks, constitute an essential component of smart city initiatives. In this chapter, we describe the architectural considerations behind our recently introduced, open DBL SmartCity platform for managing geo-referenced IoT data typically generated in urban environments. One of the principal requirements selected for the platform involved the utilization of open data standards, open data transfer protocols, and open data formats in order to facilitate interoperability and data exchange. Another requirement concerned platform scalability, which was achieved through the adoption of open-sourced “big data” and streaming computing frameworks, libraries, and technologies. The platform also fulfills the modularity requirement as it is able to exchange its parts and modules with alternative, functionally equivalent technologies.
