On February 25th, 2021 at 05:30 pm, it will take place a new appointment of the “Thursday meetings – A glance to the future at cocktail-hour” organized by IEIIT – CNR Institute.
The series of biweekly frequency meetings deal with specific themes connected to IEIIT – CNR institute with transversal vision through application domains and technological areas with particular attention to their evolutions.
The new seminar will be held by Prof. Antonio Puliafito (Università di Messina; CINI) on the following subject: “Software Defined Smart Cities: Integrating the Cyber World with the Internet of Things”.
A smart city represents an improvement of today’s cities both functionally and structurally, that strategically utilizes many smart factors, such as information and communications technology (ICT), to increase the city’s sustainable growth and strengthen city functions, while ensuring citizens’ quality of life and health. Cities can be viewed as a microcosm of “objects” with which citizens interact daily: street furniture, public buildings, transportation, monuments, public lighting and much more. Moreover, a continuous monitoring of a city’s status occurs through sensors and processors applied within the real-world infrastructure. The Internet of Things (IoT) concept imagines all these objects being “smart”, connected to the Internet, and able to communicate with each other and with the external environment, interacting and sharing data and information. Each object in the IoT can be both the collector and distributor of information regarding mobility, energy consumption, air pollution as well as potentially offering cultural and tourist information. As a consequence, cyber and real worlds are strongly linked in a smart city. New services can be deployed when needed and evaluation mechanisms will be set up to assess the health and success of a smart city. This talk will present some innovative developments in areas related to sensors and smart cities, introduce the crowdfunding #SmartME initiative and present the ToolSmart smart cities project in the cities of Turin, Padoa, Lecce and Syracuse.
