Smart City Projects Technologies and Machine Learning 2023/2025
The smart city (SC) concept enforces the principle that the city’s infrastructure andservices need to evolve to support society, citizens, and the environment with better quality of life and sustainability by employing computer science and information and communication technologies (ICTs).
Smart city projects are, by definition, multidisciplinary. SC projects are challenging for the various area specialists involved, including engineers, managers, and computer science specialists since the SC project tackles the specific issues of the target problem, and the technologies are constantly evolving (Internet, computer science, and networks). New evolutionary paradigms for SC projects include machine learning methods, the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G/6G support, and new technologies. Engineers, managers, and researchers need to understand the current technologies available, their evolution, and trends.
This course focuses on developing smart city projects with more intensive utilization of ICTs, networking technologies, and machine learning. It presents the primary methods to model, structure, and develop smart city projects, the technologies used, and the machine learning support. Smart City characteristics, project design and development issues, key parameters indicators (KPIs), and deployment challenges are addressed. Some essential technologies, machine learning (ML) tools, networks, and IoT are applied to smart city projects to comprehend how technologies can be integrated to improve system development and highlight their potential.

Course Focus:
This course focuses on presenting the current network architecture and systems evolutionary trends and explores the Software-Defined Networking (SDN) new paradigm as a solution to develop new systems.In technical terms, the course elaborates on two main topics:-- Software-Defined Networks (SDN) with OpenFlow; and-- Smart City projects as an application scenario.
A typical Smart City project has most of the mentioned Future Internet requirements that engineers have to solve: heterogeneity, largely distributed, high volume of data, multiple networks involved and so on. This course will present firstly how to use SDN/ OpenFlow to develop a new, efficient and programmable communications solution (Communication Level) and, secondly, how new techniques like artificial intelligence can be used to allocate resources in a smart city context (Application Level).
It will explore incrementally the following aspects of system and application development:-- How networks can possibly evolve with SDN and without SDN;-- How SDN supports routing, virtualization and scalability capabilities necessary on current and future systems;-- What are the Smart City issues and requirements for system development;-- How can SDN with resource allocation, cognitive management and artificial intelligence foster new systems development for Smart City; and-- Presenting practical "use case" for Smart City project development.
