Discuss about the Internet of Things for Andrea Zanella and Lorenzo Vangelista.
The report would be associated with critically reviewing the paper “Internet of Things for Smart Cities” by “Andrea Zanella and Lorenzo Vangelista”. In this paper the authors state that IoT or the Internet of Things are to be incorporated in a transparent and seamlessly large number which are of different and heterogeneous end system. This would also be associated with providing of open access in order to select the subnets of the data and this is to be done in order to develop the plethora of the various kind of digital services. So it was considered by them that the process of creating a general architecture for an IoT is a very complex process and this is mainly due to the reason that there exists a variety of devices along with link layer technologies and services which are generally involved in this type of system. The paper has been mainly focusing on the IoT systems that are used in the urban areas which can be considered as a broad category and has been categorized according the application domains. The IoT urban systems are generally designed for the purpose of supporting the vision of smart city which are generally aimed at exploitation of the most advances communication technologies in order to provide support to the value added services so as to administer the city and also to provide support to the citizens. So it can be stated that this study is associated with providing a comprehensive survey in order to enable the technologies, protocols and the architecture which is to be used by the urban IoT. The paper has also been associated with presenting and discussing the various technical solutions along with the best-practice guidelines which are to be adopted by the Padova smart city project and as a proof the IoT has been deployed in the city of Padova, Italy which has been performed in collaboration with the municipality of the city.
According to this paper Iot can be considered as a recent communication paradigm which has been associated with envisioning of the near future where the objects which are to be used on a daily basis are to be equipped by various kind of small electronic devices like the microcontroller and the trans receiver for digital communication along with suitable protocol stacks which would associated with making them capable of communicating with one another along with the users. This would be by making use of eth internet. So it can be concluded that the concept of IoT is generally aimed at making the internet look much more pervasive and impressive as well. Along with this the IoT is also associated with enabling the easy access and interactions with a wide variety of devices. So it can be stated that the paradigm has indeed been capable of finding out applications in various domains. But it has been seen that the heterogeneous field of applications has been capable of identifying various solutions in order to meet the requirements and also for tackling the formidable challenges. Due to this kind of difficulties proliferation of different and sometimes the incompatible proposals in order to have a practical realization of the various kind of IoT systems. So it can be stated, when viewed from the prospective of system, the realization of the IoT network along with the required backend network services and devices has still been lacking in the establishment of the best practices and this has mainly happened due to the novelty and complexities of this system. Along with the technical difficulties there also exists hindering of the IoT platform when they are being adopted and this is mainly happening due to lack of clear and widely accepted business model which are capable of attracting the investments in order to promote the deployment of this kind of technologies.
From the complex situation presented in this paper it can be stated that the application of the IoT paradigm would be very much interesting in urban context as it is associated with responding to the strong push of the many national government in order to adopt the various ICT solutions while managing the various kind of public affairs and thus the smart-city can be realized. But in today’s world there doesn’t exists any formal or widely accepted definition of the Smart city and the final aim of this concept mainly includes the use of the public resources in a better way along with increasing the quality of the services which are generally offered to the citizens. This would also be associated with reducing the operational cost of the public administration as well. The main objectives would be pursued only by the deployment of the urban IoT that is a communication infrastructure which would be associated with providing a unified as well as simple and economic access to a plethora of public services. This would be initially associated with unleashing the potential synergies and would also be increasing the transparency of the system to the citizens. The Urban IoT would be associated with bringing a number of benefits to the management as well as to the optimization of the various traditional public services which might include the transport, the parking, the lighting service and many more. Additionally the availability of various kind of data which are generally collected by making use of the pervasive urban IoT. This might also be exploited in order to increase the transparency and also for the purpose of promoting the actions of the local government towards the citizen which would be enhancing the awareness of the people regarding the status of the city and also for the purpose of simulating the active participation of the citizens in order to manage the public administration. This would also be associated with simulating the creation of the new services upon the services that are provided by the IoT. So it can be stated that the application of the IoT paradigm on the Smart city would be very much attractive for the local as the regional administration which would be becoming the early adopters of this new technology which would be acting as one of the catalyzer in order to adopt the IoT paradigm.
The paper has also been associated with discussing the general reference framework which is for the new design that the urban IoT would be having. The paper has also been associated with discussing about the characteristics of an urban IoT along with the services which would be associated with driving the adaptation of the urban IoT by the local governments. After this an overview of the web-based approach for the purpose of designing the IoT services along with discussing their suitability for the smart city environment has also been provided along with the protocols and the technologies which are related to it. After this a discussion has also been made regarding the sustainability of the Smart city environment. Lastly they have substantiate the discussion and this has been done by reporting their experience in the “Padove Smart city” project. This reporting can be considered as a proof-of-concept regarding the deployment of an IoT island in the city of Padova, Italy and they are interconnected with the data network of the city municipality. Due to this reason they have been associated with providing a description regarding the technical solutions which are adopted in order to describe the technical solutions which are adopted in order to realize the IoT Island and also for the purpose of reporting some of the measurements which have been collected by the system in first operational days.
The paper has also been associated with providing an overview of the services which are commonly associated with the Smart city vision which would initially be enabled by the deployment of the urban IoT. The paper has also been associated with providing an overview of the system architecture for the urban IoT.
Conclusion:
The solutions have been analyzed which are generally available in order to implement the urban IoTs. The technologies which has been discussed in this paper are closely standardized and besides this the players of the industry have already been associated with taking an active part in the production of the devices which ae associated with taking advantage of this technologies in order to enable the interest of the application. Besides this the range of design options for the IoT system is very wide. This set of open and standardized protocols is significantly smaller in size. So it can be stated that the enabling technologies are furthermore have been associated with reaching a level of maturity which is associated with allowing the practical realization of the IoT solutions and services which generally starts from the field trials which would be hopefully associated with having a clear view of the uncertainly that is still associated with preventing a massive adaptation of the IoT paradigm. A concrete proof-of-concept implementation which has been deployed in collaboration with the city of Padova, Italy can be considered as a relevant example of the application of the IoT paradigm for the smart cities.
