A Review on the Adoption of Agile Methods in the Technology Development for Smart Cities

Abstract

Smart cities are a standard concept of automated and sustainable cities that adopt technology to increase efficiency in communication, management and globalization of information. Despite the success of the concept, there is an emerging need to develop and deploy software and software-based systems for these cities. Thus, agile methodologies can play an important role, once they are broadly adopted in systems development lifecycle. This paper presents the result of a systematic mapping conducted on agile processes to develop software for smart cities. A systematic mapping identified 246 studies, from which 10 were selected for analysis and presentation of the results obtained.
