Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The forthcoming Special Issue on “Big Data Analytics and Information Technology for Smart Cities” seeks to offer a forum for the exchange of knowledge and practices regarding the utilization of big data analytics and information technology in the development of smart urban environments. This Special Issue will place a particular emphasis on the application of these technologies in various aspects of urban planning, management, and sustainability, such as transportation, energy, water management, waste management, etc. Moreover, this Special Issue will consider the implementation of data-driven approaches to address pressing urban challenges (e.g., pollution, resource management). We welcome papers that present novel approaches, techniques, and tools for big data analytics and IT in smart cities, as well as case studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of these approaches in real-world settings. The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in big data analytics and IT for smart cities, and to identify future research directions and opportunities within this field.
