An open architecture for IoT data analytics in smart cities

Abstract

This paper presents a novel platform for smart city deployments. The proposed framework helps in the organization and utilization of extracted information coming from different communication technologies and sensors deployed in cities, stan-dardizing the way that data comes from very varied sources offering built-in features to support advanced data analytics. The platform suitability is tested through its application in a smart city scenario for urban dynamics detection based on data from a well-known Online Social Network platform.
