“…The theory of the triple helix model by Etzkowitz and Leydesdorff (1995) highlighted the need for collaboration between the government, academics and the industry in smart city development. The smart city ecosystem framework by Chan and Paramel (2017) discussed various capability areas of smart city. The framework revealed the following elements: economy, health, sustainability, public safety, government and quality of life.…”

Purpose This study aims to promote the idea that social equity is a significant objective that needs to be achieved to attain a smart city and further reveal the current research focus of smart city in relation to social equity. Also, it will propose determinants of social equity for smart city development. Design/methodology/approach The first part of this study was conducted by reviewing ten existing smart city models and assessing their elements, in a bid to find a relationship between the existing smart city models and social equity. These models were sorts from scholarly publications such as books, journals and other related articles sourced from google scholar and Scopus database. To give more credence to this study, a second aspect of this study was necessary; this was conducted using a bibliometric approach, and the data was gathered from the Scopus database. Keywords such as “smart-city” OR “Digital-city” OR “Intelligent-city” OR “Computer-city” OR “Technology-city” AND “Social-equity” were used for article extraction. VOSview was used to analyse the bibliographic data obtained. Findings This research revealed that studies that relate, link or discuss the idea that social equity is a significant objective that needs to be achieved to attain a smart city are low considering that only 48 articles were extracted, and most of the studies did not specifically focus on social equity in smart city development. Further findings revealed that the ten reviewed smart city models never linked or discussed the idea of social equity in smart city development. Additionally, this study revealed that emerging countries aiming to develop smart cities, particularly in Africa, are not paying much attention to the importance of creating social equity policies to attain smart cities. Practical implications This study revealed a knowledge gap in the study of smart cities in developing countries. Governments of various developing countries can implement the ideas from this study by creating and applying social equity policies to drive sustainable development, which will positively influence smart city attainment. Originality/value The contribution of this study is that it promotes the idea that social equity is a significant objective that needs to be achieved to attain smart cities. This study’s further originality and value lie in adopting a bibliometric approach of analysis that has not been used in this form in previous studies.

Nowadays, the Internet of Things (IoT) is reshaping numerous application domains. Amidst the different communication protocols currently available (MQTT, CoAP, AMQP, DPWS, etc.) and the abundance of management platforms, the IoT domain has stumbled into vertical silos of proprietary systems hindering interoperability. Within this intricate and fragmented ecosystem, the need for an intelligent and scalable architecture promoting interoperability becomes imperative to maximize the potential of IoT. This paper introduces a system designed to enhance the convergence of IoT protocols (e.g., MQTT, CoAP, AMQP, etc.) with the Web of Things (WoT) paradigm. Our proposed gateway-based solution integrates two systems: Stack4Things (S4T) and Data eXchange Mediator Synthesizer (DeXMS). The role of the latter is to adapt, at the gateway level, the IoT protocols and expose the resources/functionalities of the IoT devices as RESTful APIs using HTTP. Meanwhile, the former (i.e., S4T), leveraging its Dynamic DNS system, ensures that these RESTful resources (exposed at the gateway) are accessible over the Web using publicly routable Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) even when the gateway is deployed behind networking middleboxes (e.g., NATs and firewalls).
