Recently, there has been a pressing need for a shift towards smart power grids, as smart grids can reduce the stress on the grid, defer the investments for upgrades, improve the power system efficiency, and reduce emissions. Accordingly, the goal of this paper is to delineate an overview of current smart grid efforts in the GCC region. First, we present a detailed overview of the current state of the power grids. Then, we classify the efforts into three broad categories: (i) energy trading and exchange through GCC interconnection; (ii) integration of renewable resources; and (iii) demand side management technologies for shaping the demand profile. Furthermore, we provide the details of our API object level real-time GCC power demand automated program that creates the database for the load profiles of the GCC members. Accessing such information for research and development purposes is a critical step in the region, because due the conservative structure of the governing institutes, there is no publicly available dataset. Therefore, the data provided in this paper is critical and will serve as a main reference for the future research efforts. more »

Buildings form a basic pillar of smart cities concept where all life processes and nerve centres of social life are read, in order to radically improve quality of life, opportunity, prosperity, social and economic development, thanks to the use of the new technology. The building sector has been identified by various studies as a sector that offers considerable potential for the cost-effective reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, making it an important field for climate protection action. A significant role towards realizing these objectives has in particular the implementation of the latest technologies and technical procedures in all processes at all levels. Smart buildings are no longer considered individually, but as a part of complex ecosystem. They must be adapted to the expectations of future users if they are to be properly used. This paper deals with the problematics of current technological, environmental and economic trends in renewal of residential buildings. more »

Extracting useful mobility information from large volumes of data is crucial to improve decision-making processes in smart cities. This article introduces a framework for mobility analysis in smart cities combining Intelligent Transportation Systems and socioeconomic data for the city of Montevideo, Uruguay. The efficiency of the proposed system is analyzed over a distributed computing infrastructure, demonstrating that the system scales properly for processing large volumes of data for both off-line and on-line scenarios. Applications of the proposed platform and case studies using real data are presented, as examples of the valuable information that can be offered to both citizens and authorities. The proposed model for big data processing can also be extended to allow using other distributed (e.g. grid, cloud, fog, edge) computing infrastructures. more »

Although ecosystem-wide architectures and standards are still slowly evolving and/or still lacking, some progress is being made; standardization fosters flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and ubiquitous deployment. Applications range from infrastructure and critical-infrastructure support (for example smart grid, smart city, smart building, and transportation), to end-user applications such as e-health, crowdsensing, and further along, to a multitude of other applications where only the imagination is the limit. This article discusses a specific example of an IoT application supporting Smart Campuses. Smart Campuses are part of a continuum that spans cities at the large-scale end to smart buildings at the small-scale end, and encompass universities, business parks, hospitals, housing developments, correctional facilities, and other real estate environments. The specific Use Case example covered in this article relates to an actual project to automate some key functions at a set of large campuses, but the nature of the campus is not directly revealed. After a review of the applicable IoT and control technologies, this Best Practices article describes technological solutions that were employed to support the requisite control functions and serves as an example for the applicability of IoT to Smart Campus applications. more »

With support of information and communication technologies we are able to accelerate innovations, new services in region and its municipalities. We can improve life of citizens, improve regional transportation and deliver unprecedented value in many other areas. Industry 4.0 is not the goal but the means. Topics and issues in field of public transportation are discussed and some examples of open data processing are presented. more »

Cities are too big to ignore, they are at the core of our work and leisure lives, hosting the majority of World's population, and the majority of its innovation infrastructure and assets. Regarding key fundamental dynamics and mobility issues, many cities continue to grow in world-wide while demographic aging will also create pressure of the costs of running staff-intensive mobility infrastructure. It is necessary to improved performance in basic city management areas starting from smart and sustainable mobility, traffic and road networks, to transport systems, but also considering street cleaning to water management, to sustainable energy and affordable low carbon environments. Generally, a smart city combines legacy networks and new communication architectures in order to achieve compatibility and interoperability among public administrations, operators, companies and population. Then, it goes beyond the use of ICT to provide new advanced services in diverse business and technological domains, such as urban transports, water supply, disposal facilities, lightning, heat buildings and so on. To this aim, the integration of information and communication systems, sensors and data analytics over different systems and infrastructures of a city is necessary. more »
