TLDR
Examples of data that can be collected from cities are presented, issues around this data are discussed, and some preliminary thoughts for creating a semantic description model to describe and help discover, index and query smart city data are put forward.Abstract:
Recent advancements in communication technologies for providing ubiquitous Internet access as well as advancements on reduction of cost and form-factor of mobile devices and sensors are seen as an enabler for the Internet of Things (IoT). The industry predicts an interconnected world of 50 billion devices by 20201. The Web of Things (WoT) relies on the connectivity service of IoT to create services and applications exploiting the IoT data [1]. Cities present an opportunity for rendering WoT-enabled services. According to the World Health Organization, population in cities will double by the middle of this century2, while cities deal with increasingly pressing issues such as environmental sustainability, economic growth and citizen mobility. In this paper, we propose a discussion around the need for common semantic descriptions for smart city data to facilitate future services in “smart cities”. We present examples of data that can be collected from cities, discuss issues around this data and put forward some preliminary thoughts for creating a semantic description model to describe and help discover, index and query smart city data.read more

CityBench: A Configurable Benchmark to Evaluate RSP Engines Using Smart City Datasets
TL;DR: Performance, correctness and technical soundness of few existing RSP engines have been evaluated in controlled settings using existing benchmarks like LSBench and SRBench, but these benchmarks focus merely on features of the RSP query languages and engines and do not consider dynamic application requirements and data-dependent properties.
