Call for papers: "The Latest Technologies for Building a Smart City"

For a special issue of the International Journal of Simulation and Process Modelling.

A smart city is a collection of services that accompany the physical services provided by the city and the technologies supporting these services. Smart cities highlight the growing importance of information and communication technologies (ICTs) and social, economic and environmental capital in profiling the competitiveness of cities.

The latest ICT technologies supporting smart city services include the internet, cloud computing, big data analysis and physical devices connected to cyberspace through the Internet of Things, as well as their applications in different sectors. This special issue aims at presenting the latest technologies for building a smart city, particularly in the process modelling, design, simulation, implementation, evaluation and application of these technologies.

Suitable topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
  • Intelligent transportation and communication systems
  • Advanced communication and networking systems
  • Internet of things, cyber-physical systems and intelligent devices
  • Smart building and environment, effectiveness and sustainability
