A gap analysis framework of IoT-empowered city platform as a service

摘要

A rapid growth of sensor and wireless communication provides building blocks of city infrastructure service which brings about city-wide service platforms. It provides opportunities to extend public or enterprise services to customize as city-area services in combination with city-specific data and infrastructure. Key additional components of such services include IoT-empowered real-time data and open data from public sectors. These emerging data leverages the potential of a city-area service platform. In order to successfully deploy services on a city infrastructure platform, it is critical to provide considerations of filling gaps between design phases and deployment phases. Frameworks of gap analysis are a key part of this type of platforms. An increasing need of smart city services presents a challenge for integration of city-wide information infrastructure including a wide range of sensor and open data. industries. The author proposes frameworks of gap analysis in smart-city service platforms in order to successfully organize the multiple sets of highly-vertical hardware and software integration of IoT services.
