Preface
The goal of this book is to provide detailed, in-depth information on the state-of-the-art of the architecture and infrastructure used to develop smart cities using the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and blockchain security—the key technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The book outlines the theoretical concepts, experimental studies and various smart city applications that create value for inhabitants of urban areas. Several issues that have arisen with the advent of smart cities and novel solutions to resolve these issues are presented. The IoT along with the integration of blockchain and AI provides efficient, safe, secure, and transparent ways to solve different types of social, governmental, and demographic issues in the dynamic urban environment. A top-down strategy is adopted to introduce the architecture, infrastructure, features, and security. The topics covered include the following:
– Chapter 1 starts with the basics of blockchain technology such as the design of blockchain, its elements, and functionalities. It then takes a deep dive into aspects of blockchain technology such as security, various types of consensus mechanisms, and application of blockchain technology in a smart city. Also discussed are the financial application and citizen-government framework, along with security and privacy issues and the future research direction of blockchain.
– Chapter 2 begins with the emergence and concept of the smart city. It discusses how new technologies such as the IoT can be utilized in the health industry, home automation, agriculture, supermarkets, transportation, etc.; and how they are interconnected to become a smart city. Technical innovations used in the smart city provide support for city management and transform natural resources, infrastructure, and intellectual assets into automation.
– Chapter 3 surveys the integration of blockchain and AI from the perspective of the smart city by presenting an in-depth review of various scientific research studies on the basics of blockchain and real-time applications. It then summarizes the applications and opportunities associated with blockchain, and the challenges involved in its use in smart cities.
– Chapter 4 explores the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) and AI along with the IoT in smart cities. It focuses on the issues facing increasing populations in urban cities around the globe and discusses the impact of implementing AI to change existing cities into the new smart cities of the future. Moreover, it discusses the applications in smart cities that reduce issues related to areas such as smart grid, agriculture, transportation, smart metering, etc.
