Special Issue Sensing Technology for Smart Cities: Data, Analytics, and Visualizations
Vol. 24. Issue 15.
2024.
Nowadays a huge portion of population lives in urban areas, and projections indicate that most cities are going to be confronted with a growing urban population in the next few years. This undoubtably poses new challenges that must be addressed by city councils and stakeholders to guarantee citizens’ high quality of life. Mobility, pollution, climate change, and waste management are only some of the problems that cities will face in the near future. In the context of smart cities, data produced in real-time by IoT/IoE sensors can be exploited for the development of innovative technologies based on data-driven approaches to monitor and analyze the status of the urban area, perform predictions and evaluations of specific scenarios, and give instruments to stakeholders to visualize and measure the impact of new policies aimed at promoting a green, sustainable, inclusive, and smart urban development.
This Special Issue therefore aims to put together original research and review articles on recent advances, technologies, solutions, and applications addressing urban development in the context of smart cities.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- IoT/IoE sensors data acquisition and management;
- Distributed sensing and computation;
- IoT platforms;
- Knowledge bases of urban data;
- Data analytics for predictions and simulations;
- Development of tools for dashboard construction;
- Smart city digital twins;
- Evaluation studies and datasets for smart cities;
- Data security and privacy;
- Smart mobility and transportation;
- Environmental monitoring technologies;
- Smart waste management.

Open access to images creates opportunities for violation of the authors' rights. Digital watermarks can be used to securely publish images online. They are invisibly added into the images before publication and can be extracted at any time to verify ownership. However, achieving a balance between embedding imperceptibility and robustness to image processing operations is ...

Electronic health records (EHRs) contain vast volumes of clinical information that encode complex relationships between diseases. Traditional approaches to the analysis of interrelated or co-occurring diseases have focused on pairwise associations between diagnoses, missing the higher-order structures that characterise multimorbid patients. The present paper offers a narrative review of existing statistical, machine-learning, and artificial intelligence ...

Psychological characteristic estimation from multimodal in-the-wild behavior is usually studied using separate corpora, each annotated for a single target task. Such annotation fragmentation limits cross-task learning and cross-domain generalization across affective, dispositional, and interactional phenomena. To address this problem, we use emotion, apparent personality trait, and ambivalence recognition as representative tasks and introduce MM-PSYCHE, a ...

Hypergraphs provide a natural framework for representing neurophysiological interactions distributed across sets of sensors. A key methodological question is how hyperedges should be defined from frequency-resolved electroencephalography/magnetoencephalography (EEG/MEG) data. We demonstrate a construction strategy in which hyperedges are obtained from canonical coherence (caCOH), an extension of coherence that estimates coupling between multidimensional signal spaces. To ...

Identification of coherent states of spiking neural networks is a fundamental problem of
synchronization theory but conventional methods are computationally expensive. We apply
the crystallographic ideas of processing periodic structures to the analysis of various
states of spiking neuronal networks. In particular, the introduced approach is based on
the application of two-dimensional Fourier transform to rasterplots. By the position ...

The integration of data-driven and knowledge-driven approaches in generative geospatial modelling (GGM) is often hindered by their mathematical incompatibilities. Here, we propose a geometric algebra (GA)-based framework that employs a unified multi-vector representation to fuse heterogeneous data and diverse knowledge. The framework facilitates structured reasoning and hypothesis generation through a task-adaptable, five-stage cycle: representation, reasoning, ...

EEG recordings are often affected by the loss or corruption of individual channels due to electrode detachment, poor scalp contact, or external interference. Such channels must be accurately reconstructed before further analysis. In this study, we investigate Next-Generation Reservoir Computing (NG-RC) as a data-driven approach for reconstructing corrupted EEG channels and compare its performance with ...

Knowledge graphs are widely used in Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and Explainable AI (XAI), since they can illustrate semantic relationships generated by Large Language Models (LLMs). Recent studies focus on generating knowledge graphs from unstructured data to improve RAG performance; however, they do not explain the underlying graph structure. The analysis of synthetic graphs behind ...

Reinforcement learning (RL) is increasingly grounded in tools from probability, optimization, and operator theory. This survey organizes the mathematical structures that underpin the design and analysis of modern algorithms in RL. We begin from Markov decision processes (MDPs) and the Bellman operators, emphasizing contraction mappings, monotonicity, and fixed-point theory that yield convergence guarantees and rates ...
