SPECIAL SESSION ON SOFTWARE-DEFINED EDGE COMPUTING IN SMART CITIES @ IEEE PIMRC 2017
Sofiene Affes
Professor at INRS and Director of NSERC CREATE Research Training Program in the Industrial Stream PERSWADE
SCOPE
Driven by several interdependent trends, like sustainable development, mobility and higher quality of life, smart city applications are enabled by the miniaturization of devices, the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, and artificial intelligent (AI). Edge computing (EC) or similarly fog computing (FC), and software-defined networking (SDN) are two key pillars that boost the scalability and flexibility of smart city infrastructures, thereby enabling unprecedented capabilities of smart city applications and, hence, meeting sustainable development goals.
TOPICS
- Big data technologies for smart cities
- Cloud computing based approaches for smart cities
- Fog computing and edge computing for smart cities
- Information management for smart cities
- IoT network management
- Modeling and analysis of smart city technologies and systems
- Network function virtualization in smart cities
- Security and privacy of smart city systems
- Software-defined infrastructure for smart cities
- Sustainable computing in smart cities
