“…Thus, traffic information can be used as sensory data to measure human dynamics and extract useful information in independent dimensions. Integration into, e.g., power grid management/control systems can be seen as part of the combination of physical infrastructures and technologies in the paradigm of Smart Cities [13].…”

Abstract-If accurate short term prediction of electricity consumption is available, the Smart Grid infrastructure can rapidly and reliably react to changing conditions. The economic importance of accurate predictions justifies research for more complex forecasting algorithms. This paper proposes road traffic data as a new input dimension that can help improve very short term load forecasting. We explore the dependencies between power demand and road traffic data and evaluate the predictive power of the added dimension compared with other common features, such as historical load and temperature profiles.

“…Urban-related challenges encompass, for example, (a) the adoption of information and sensing technology for better understanding the city dynamics [3]; (b) the increasing engagement of citizens in administrative and management processes, possibly leveraging the power of the crowds [4]; (c) the environmental sustainability of cities, fostering virtuous behaviors for better consuming energy and goods, and for better handling waste and pollutants [5]. In this extremely complex context, innovative city-wide ICT platforms are deemed as crucial elements for improving city management [6], [7] and, in the long term, city life quality. Several research efforts tackle the issues and challenges [8], [9] related to these "smart cities" [10], e.g., for handling huge amounts of sensors deployed in the city territory [11], [12], to manage administrative processes through open-data exchanges [13], to establish common layers of interoperability between city functions through semantic modeling [14], etc.…”

Administrators and operators of next generation cities will likely be required to exhibit a good understanding of technical features, data issues, and complex information that, up to few years ago, were quite far from day-today administration tasks. In the smart city era, the increased attention to data harvested from the city fosters a more informed approach to city administration, requiring involved operators to drive, direct, and orient technological processes in the city more effectively. Such an increasing need requires tools and platforms that can easily and effectively be controlled by non-technical people. In this paper, an approach for enabling "easier" composition of real-time data processing pipelines in smart cities is presented, exploiting a visual and block-based design approach, similar to the one adopted in the Scratch programming language for elementary school students. The proposed approach encompasses both a graphical editor and a sound methodology and workflow, to allow city operators to effectively design, develop, test, and deploy their own data processing pipelines. The editor and the workflow are described in the context of a pilot of the ALMANAC European project.

“…These protocols compose a network environment where scalability and flexibility are easily reached, enabling the provision of a wide range of applications and services, such as: IP Telephony (VoIP); e-Gov and e-learning environments; telemedicine; and control and monitoring systems. Recently, sensor networks are been increasingly employed for monitoring and control applications (Juraschek et al, 2012;Hernández-Muñoz et al, 2011;Bartlett et al, 2011). Sensor Networks have been particularly important in the improvement of security, health, automation, and public services (Molina et al, 2014).…”

“…Nowadays, cities are searching more and more for technological solutions to address actual issues in the municipality, such as electricity, clean water, sanitation, and urban mobility (Barone et al, 2014), which are severely aggravated by population growth (Bartlett et al, 2011). The main problem with such solutions is that a big deal of them are constrained to specific application domains, normally unable to share data with other systems, therefore, making the city even more distant of a smart city in a broader context.…”

Sensor networks have been used in a wide range of applications. In Digital Cities they play an important role in gathering real-time data in urban scale. However, the heterogeneous and complex technologies applied in such applications make it difficult to monitor and manage different sensor networks, and also prevents the interoperation between systems. Thus, this paper presents a proposal of a novel architecture based on service orientation for homogeneous interoperation among sensor networks used in a Digital City scenario. Based on the outlined architectural model, a case study took place in a Brazilian operational Digital City in the state of São Paulo. The objective of the study is to demonstrate that architecture can be used for monitoring heterogeneous environments in a unified way, promoting datasharing and interoperability.
