GeoSmart cities: Event-driven geoprocessing as enabler of smart cities

摘要

Smart cities are urban environments where sensor networks and geographic data become pervasive. Geographic Information plays a key role in understanding city dynamics, it provides relevant information to support decision making. Volume, velocity, and variety of data from sensor networks presents challenges to current geoprocessing paradigms. In this work, we highlight the role of geographic information from sensor networks in the context of smart cities, and describe three novel application cases under a framework that integrates event-driven architecture and geoprocessing services.
