The world population is continuously growing and reached a significant evolution of
the society, where the number of people living in cities surpassed the number of people
in rural areas.
The status quo of digital cities is analysed in detail, using six different
perspectives:
1. Social interaction
2. Safety
3. Data management and analytics
4. Mobility
5. Consumer Lifestyle
6. Crowd-based services
The concept of smart cities emerged few years ago as a new vision for urban
development that aims to integrate multiple information and communication
technology (ICT) solutions in a secure fashion to manage a city’s assets. Modern ICT
infrastructure and e-services should fuel sustainable growth and ...
We review the current applications of photonic technologies to Smart Cities. Inspired
by the future needs of Smart Cities, we then propose potential applications of advanced
photonic technologies. We find that photonics already has a major impact on Smart
Cities, in terms of smart lighting, sensing, ...
A program to demonstrate the optimization process of ant colony optimization for the traveling saleman problem (TSP). The cities are shown as red circles, the pheromone on the connections between them (fully connected graph) by gray lines. The darker the grey, the more pheromone is currently on the ...
Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) has been an interesting problem for a long
time in classical optimization techniques which are based on linear and nonlinear
programming. TSP can be described as follows: Given a number of cities to visit
and their distances from all other cities know, an optimal tra ...
