Pattern Implementation in the Smart City Domain

There is a huge focus on enhancing the infrastructure of existing cities to make it smarter and more efficient. Adding sensing and actuation capabilities to parts of a city’s infrastructure, such as utilities (lower wastage and minimal disruptions), power plants (safer operations and predictive behavior), traffic systems (for controlling congestion), law enforcement (crime prevention), educational institutions (enhanced engagement for students and automation of regular tasks for teachers), and healthcare services (timely emergency response), and integrating the required communication technologies will make cities safer, more intelligent, environmentally sustainable, and energy-efficient, resulting ...
