Smart Cities really means the future of networked computing and citizen information interactions and services delivery. It will require a remarkably agile platform that could comfortably scale to millions of nodes—some of them hardware, some software, some purely data, many of them coming into and out of existence or changing location constantly. Obviously, such a platform cannot be “designed” in any ordinary sense. Certainly, it cannot be designed “top-down.”And yet Smart City systems and applications must be designed in some sense. The tools we are working with today to make cities “smart” were not designed to handle the diversity of devices,the scope of interactions and the massive volume of data-points and interactions generated. Each new application, use case and diverse devices to enable them requires too much customization and maintenance just to perform basic tasks. These challenges are diluting the ability of public and private organizations to efficiently and effectively manage development. Today, platforms for Smart Cities are still a collection of yesterday’s technology and architectures that do not address the most basic development challenges.
2. 2
what are SMART SYSTEMS
As networks invade the “physical” world, traditionally unique components and interfaces between and among
electronic and electro-mechanical elements are becoming standardized…These networked devices generate
information value over their lifespan, and this information can be utilized throughout an organization

Encryption Addressing Computing
Connecting devices through

Architecture
• Abstracts info into
irreducible units of data;
attribute names are extensible
• Self-contained with globally unique ID; data entities that can
be combined to create bundles with attributes/value pairs
• Truly distributed architecture with no constraints on how it
gets deployed whether microcontoller, SoC, retrofit device,
server, cloud, or hybrid, the software architecture enables
both peer-to-peer and client-server distribution of services
