SIIISC 2023

The number of devices in the internet of things is increasing. Along with the increase in devices, managing these devices in the existing architectural model will bring great challenges to the current computing infrastructure of smart cities. The technology is rapidly changing, and architecting for these situations can be complex. The existing data processing capacity of IoT, which is enabling technology, is becoming ineffective due to the generation of huge heterogeneous data by IoT devices. It is important to realize that the success of IoT depends on the scalability.  The existing models and architectures are good for small-scale IoT, however, the growing needs of the large IoT environment will need a decentralized and distributed model. In addition to the computing capability, the existing centralized models are expensive because of cloud infrastructure and maintenance cost in smart cities. Moreover, the diversity of devices and their supporting cloud infrastructure makes machine-to-machine (M2M), citizen-to-machine, vehicle-to-vehicle communications complex as there is no guarantee for the connection and interoperability for all kind of devices. Hence, there is a need of new scalable methods, interoperable models, and architectures for efficient processing of distributed and autonomous data in smart cities.
