Dear Friends,
This is a reminder that the deadline for the Special Issue is approach
-- It is due on May 15th.
'Smarter Planet' is a generic term referring to intelligent distributed
computing environments which leverage information technology and networks
to create new capabilities and provide more intelligent way to perform
common functions in the society. Examples of such smarter planet systems
include systems that create smarter water management, intelligent
utilities, smarter transportation, and intelligent resource sharing across
different groups and organizations. In general, smarter planet systems are
built using instrumentation data collected from ubiquitous sensor
deployments, retrieving sensor data using intelligent techniques for data
collection and then applying data analytics and artificial intelligence to
create an intelligent end-to-end system. Over the last couple of years,
several smarter planet systems have been built and deployed at different
locations across the world.
The overall architecture of any smarter planet system can be divided into
three broad areas of instrumentation, interconnection, and intelligence.
Instrumentation consists of deploying sensors and collecting information
efficiently from the deployed sensors. Interconnection consists of
designing different types of networks that can obtain information rapidly
and efficiently under resource constrained environments. Intelligence
refers to algorithms for control, analysis and guidance to be provided
from the collected information. The common underlying principles behind
interconnection, instrumentation and intelligence constitute the science
for smarter planet. The science of smarter planet is a multi-disciplinary
research area that spans fields such as sampling theory, sensor
management, communications networks, network sciences, data mining,
artificial intelligence and control theory.
Although each smarter planet system has some unique aspects, there are
many common principles and ideas that can be leveraged across established
and new smarter planet systems. The sharing of approaches, algorithms,
architectural models and insights gained from deployed Systems would spur
the creation of new smarter planet Systems among the technical community.
In view of this, this special issue aims to seek original research papers
and review articles and expects to enhance the state-of-the-art in
instrumentation, interconnection and intelligence required for solving the
various problems and challenges in designing a smarter planet system.
