The embracing of digital technology has enhanced different approaches for authorities worldwide to deliver services their citizens in a smart way. Smart government contribute increasing citizens’ trust performance providing public services, as it allows interactions anytime, anyplace, through any device that merge and services. Furthermore, is essential consider since are consumers the Existing...

In the course of making electronic services and facilities more widely accessible and usable, more and more IT systems are incorporating smart cards as a component. We analyzes the side channel attacks for the smart card and similar security evaluation criteria for smart card protection profiles based on the common criterion. Futhermore, we proposes the smart card security evaluation criteria f...

Smart cities are emerging fast and they introduce new practices and services which highly impact policy making and planning, while they co-exist with urban facilities. It is now needed to understand the smart city’s contribution in the overall urban planning and vice versa, to recognize urban planning offerings to a smart city context. This chapter highlights and measures smart city and urban p...

The Substitutable Medical Apps, Reusable Technologies (SMART) project provides a framework of core services to facilitate the use of substitutable health-related web applications. The platform offers a common interface used to "SMART-ready" health IT systems allowing any SMART application to be able to interact with those systems. At Partners Healthcare, we have SMART-enabled the Informatics fo...

A smart environment is a context sensitive system based on ubiquitous computing, in which the environment interacts with its inhabitants through embedded dedicated devices. The design and construction of a smart environment requires the collaboration among several areas, such as (1) intelligent man-machine interfaces, (2) pervasive communications, (3) ambient intelligence, (4) scalable systems ...

This paper presents an open protocol for interoperability across multi-vendor programmable smart cards. It allows exposition of on-card storage and cryptographic services to host applications in a unified, card-independent way. Its design, inspired by the standardization of on-card Java language and cryptographic API, has been kept as generic and modular as possible. The protocol security model...

Today, previously separated networks converge. Tomorrow, this process is going to challenge the established design principles of service frameworks. The new challenges for management frameworks are approaches that address composition, scalability, reliability and robustness as well as autonomous selfadaptation of services and resources. Research in these areas should result in software systems ...

Pervasive computing [1] or as otherwise called Ambient Intelligence [2] aims to assist users in their everyday tasks in a seamless unobtrusive manner. In this framework, there have been various research initiatives aiming towards the design and realization of smart spaces [3] in homes, offices, universities, schools, hospitals, hotels, museums, and other private or public places, where various ...

This paper proposes a model of ubiquitous video services and management systems for solving current issues of video surveillance services and management in the smart city. The author presents the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) based methods of integrating and using existing video resources in civil defense emergency commanding by providing a use case “Civil Defense Emergency Command Center in Hua...
