Abstract

Smart city systems integrate multiple information and communication technologies (ICTs) to enhance the efficiency of urban services and quality of citizen’s life while decreasing operational costs and efforts. To manage smart city infrastructure, Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) has emerged as a disruptive technology that facilitates its users to exploit portable and context-aware computation with pay-per-use software/hardware resources. We propose to exploit the MCC technologies to develop a framework that facilitates first responder teams to operate smartly in emergency situations.
