Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue (SI) emphasizes on the contribution of the web (web intelligence, smart services, web applications and apps_ to smart city development. In the era of cities and under the UN 2030 Agenda for sustainable growth, cities are making an important shift regarding thinking of compact cities and develop sustainable urban services. Issues like responsive and self-evolving smart services (e.g., for governance (e.g. responsive e-government services, mobility (parking, traffic congestion and safety, sharing transportation, and smart parking), economy (e.g. AI mentoring etc.) etc.) are among the topics where governments and the industry direct smart service development. Moreover, data collection and analysis enable the government’s fast—or even real-time—decision-making , and new business models appear that utilize platforms and data. Additionally, new types of business in transportation appear (e.g., utilizing sensors and big data), while things’ sharing is another challenge that cities have started phasing in. This SI aims to demonstrate how the Web contribute to smart city development in general.
