In construction of smart cities, Internet of Things and Fog computing have a crucial role to play which requires the need for management and exchange of large amount of information. Both Internet of Things as well as Fog computing are two predominant fields that have emerged in recent years to enable the development of transportation, tourism, industries as well as business in a proficient manner. Hence the introduction of a smart city will require proper study as well as ways to improve the strength’s of the city using technological advancement. This will also enhance the strength of city in many fronts. In this paper, we have examined the positive aspects of fog computing using an IoT architecture that is integrated with fog computing in order to address the issues of network scalability and big data processing. Accordingly, the architecture of the IoT system is built such that the smart city will be able to function in a more efficient manner by means of network transmission, information processing and intelligent perceptions.

The Smart City concept is being developed from a lot of different axes encompassing multiple areas of social and technical sciences. However, something that is common to all these approaches is the central role that the capacity of sharing information has. Hence, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are seen as key enablers for the transformation of urban regions into Smart Cities. Two of these technologies, namely Internet of Things and Big Data, have a predominant position among them. The capacity to “sense the city” and access all this information and provide added-value services based on knowledge derived from it are critical to achieving the Smart City vision. This paper reports on the specification and implementation of a software platform enabling the management and exposure of the large amount of information that is continuously generated by the IoT deployment in the city of Santander.

Internet use in Banyumas Regency is now increasingly diverse according to the demands of the needs. The development of communication technology raises various aspects that also develop. For example, the use of the internet for a traffic light control system so that it can be adjusted according to the settings and can be monitored in real time. In the development of communication technology, the term Internet of Things (IoT) emerged as the concept of extending the benefits of internet communication systems to give impulses to other systems. In other words, IoT is used as a communication for remote control and monitoring by utilizing an internet connection. The Internet of Things in the era is now being developed to create an intelligent system for the purposes of controlling various public needs until the concept of the smart city emerges. Basically, smart cities utilize internet connections for many purposes such as controlling CCTV, traffic lights, controlling arm robots in the industry and storing data in hospitals. If the system is carried out directly from the device to the central server, there will be a very long queue of data while the system created requires speed and accuracy of time so that a system is needed that allows sufficient data control and processing to be carried out on network edge users. Then fog Computing is used with the hope that the smart city system can work with small latency values ​​so that the system is more real-time in sending or receiving data.

In recent years, we are experiencing a digital revolution in many contexts, the digitalization of industry (Industry 4.0), the digitalization of public administrations, the digitalization of people and things (Internet of Things) and, of course, the digitization of cities under the name of Smart Cities. Although the digitization process is based on 3 main pillars: data, talent and innovation. It is necessary to make a mixture of these 3 pillars in different percentages to achieve digitization. In the case of cities, great weight lies in the technology deployed that makes up the architecture of the city. This technology is very incipient and lacks standards that allow interoperability between different devices. This article tries to show a picture of the possible architectures existing today from the point of view of sustainability and energy efficiency.

Abstract The article introduces a two-stage Structural equation modelling- Artificial Neural Network (SEM-ANN) model for the Smart city creation through Fog Computing (FC) and Internet of Things (IOT) by identifying the critical success factors in Indian context. The research article introduces a new factor Fog Computing (FC). Internet of Things (IoT) is again sub-divided into three more factors as Internet of People (IoP), Internet of Services (IoS) and Internet of Energy (IoE) as the independent variables. 13 Smart cities and 379 respondents are involved for this study. The data analysis is done through Structural equation modelling (SEM) and artificial neural network (ANN) which measures both the linear and non-linear relationships respectively. From Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) output, it is identified that Internet of Things (IOT), Internet of People (IOP) and Internet of Services (IOS) have some significant positive effect on Fog Computing (FC). Internet of Energy (IOE) has the negative effect on Fog Computing (FC) which is the only exception in the study for future research direction in this area. The SEM accepted variables are considered as the input for the next layer of ANN analysis that identified IOT has the major effect on Fog Computing (FC). A comparison is also done on SEM and neural network results. The outcome of the study will help more number of Smart City (SC) creations and will fulfil the target of 100 Smart city creation by Government of India taking forward towards a sustainable development.

Smart City is the term composed for a city that aggressively balances itself through ICT based urban solutions and solving multiple problems faced by the ever complex urban lifestyle. Big data analytics is one of the best innovation to process extracted data from this Internet of Things (IoT) Ecosystem of the smart city. In this ecosystem, the communication and engagement with the city residents are very important. The smart dashboard is a hyper connected platform to effectively project the smart city dimension’s performance to stakeholder and residents. Thus creating an instant engagement with the citizens. Although most of the smart cities has been computing all the data gathered in the city using the most sophisticated data analytics tools, it has not effectively interfaced it to the benefit of city residents. A Smart Dashboard is seen as an enabler to the smart city dimensions but many of the current smart dashboards are still elusive and faces many challenges. There will be discussions about the importance of smart dashboard, a list of key indicators and the challenges to implementing this dashboard.

Young people are important to cities, bringing skills and energy and contributing to economic activity. New technologies have led to the idea of a smart city as a framework for city management. Smart cities are developed from the top-down through government programmes, but also from the bottom-up by residents as technologies facilitate participation in developing new forms of city services. Young people are uniquely positioned to contribute to bottom-up smart city projects. Few diagnostic tools exist to guide city authorities on how to prioritise city service provision. A starting point is to understand how the youth value city services. This study surveys young people in Braamfontein, Johannesburg, and conducts an importance-performance analysis to identify which city services are well regarded and where the city should focus efforts and resources. The results show that Smart city initiatives that would most increase the satisfaction of youths in Braamfontein  include wireless connectivity, tools to track public transport  and  information  on city events. These  results  identify  city services that are valued by young people, highlighting services that young people could participate in providing. The importance-performance analysis can assist the city to direct effort and scarce resources effectively.
