Smart cities are not merely the infusion of technology into a city’s infrastructure, but also require citizens interacting with their urban environment in a smart and informed manner. Transportation is key aspect of smart cities. In this paper, we present a smart route planning open-source system; SMART-GH utilizes open data and participatory sensing, where citizens actively participate in coll...

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the widely accepted technology that connect everyday objects to the internet for providing ease and various functionalities and the Smart Grid (SG) is defined as the power grid integrated with a large network of ICT. The SG is the combination of billions of smart objects: smart appliances, smart meters, actuators and sensors etc. This paper analyse the various ac...

The need to manage and secure a rapidly growing information network has focused increasing attention on smart card technology. Over the past decade, smart cards evolved from offering basic memory to complex systems with chips that incorporate powerful processing units with dedicated peripherals. This evolution enabled a wide range of applications. Smart card applications include financial trans...

In this thesis we propose a design for a ubiquitous and interoperable device based on the smart card architecture to meet the challenges of privacy, trust, and security for traditional and emerging technologies like personal computers, smart phones and tablets. Such a device is referred a User Centric Tamper-Resistant Device (UCTD). To support the smart card architecture for the UCTD initiative...

Smart grid is a modern electrical grid technology that improves the efficiency and reliability. The main challenges of smart grids are how to manage different types of front-end intelligent devices such as smart meters and how to process a huge amount of data received from these devices. Cloud computing, a technology that provides computational resources on demands to address these challenges. ...

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) provides two-way communication, data storing and analysis, sensing and system monitoring, and intelligence such as historical and predictive analytics. Today’s Energy Smart Grid initiative proposes a highly decentralized and flexible energy supply and distribution by taking advantage of ICT infrastructures. In contrast, many water utilities do not ...

the prevalent communications networks suffer from lack of spectrum and spectrum inefficiency. this has motivated researchers to develop cognitive radio (cr) as a smart and dynamic radio access promised solution. a major challenge to this new technology is how to make fair assignment of available spectrum to unlicensed users, particularly for smart grids communication. this paper introduces an i...
