Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks for Smart Cities by Burak KantarciEnglish | PDF | 2018 | 170 Pages | ISBN : N/A | 5.70 MB
Our lives are being transformed by the interplay between mobile networks, wireless communications, and artificial intelligence. This transformation is an outcome of the emerging Internet of Things (IoT) concept, and the advancements in computer architectures that translate into high computing power, high-performance processing, and huge memory capacities. In addition to the IoT, as a very close concept, cyber–physical systems target seamless integration of physical systems with computing and communication resources. Furthermore, in urban areas, the integration of the “software-defined sensor networks” and “sensing as a service” concepts with legacy Wireless Sensor Network (WSN)-based systems is leading to the transformation of conventional city services towards smart cities.
