To address the long-standing urban challenges and improve city services and utilities, major cities are adopting smart city initiatives which involve cyber physical systems and emerging technologies. Nevertheless, there is a need for a high-quality workforce with adequate training and skills at different capacities. The proposed solution is to design and develop a cloud-based learning and simulation platform that includes major features and functionalities of smart cities. The scope of this platform could be limited to IoT, Sensors networking, Big Data, smart power grid, smart transportation, and cybersecurity. CCS CONCEPTS • Information systems • Applied computing • Networks • Security and privacy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
