Governments and businesses start thinking about technology as critical enabler
to solve the rising urbanization issues and improve the cities’ environments
according to a set of priorities. Wireless and network technologies, the
Internet of Things, cloud computing and artificial intelligence are only few of
the solutions toward products and services that are expected and applied to
make the cities "smarter", and comfortable in the context of
transport, climate, food, energy, buildings, health, products, etc. A Smart
City concept refers to acknowledged initiatives, such as e-Home, e-Office,
e-Government, e-Health, e-Education and e-Traffic. It is based on self-monitoring
and self-response by pooling server and network infrastructures, and respective
clients together to ensure the effective interconnection of the urban
substructures, for example administration, education, healthcare,
transportation, public safety, real estates, and implying intelligent
adaptation to the citizens’ needs. Against this background, smart environments
concentrate on automatic computing, self-awareness, self-configuration,
self-protection, and self-optimization</font></span><span lang="EN-US"><font color="#000000" size="3">.</font></span></font></p><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">
