Implementing Cyber Physical social Systems for smart cities: A semantic web perspective

Abstract

Aim of the paper is to give a demonstration of the main Cyber-Physical-Systems (CPSs) and social networking facilities used to implement an ubiquitous city platform called Wi-City-Plus provided with mobile and centralized decision support systems (DSSs) taking advantage of all the data of city interest, including social data, and those sensed by networked monitoring devices. In particular, the paper adopts a semantic web approach that allow us to model such data by a suitable ontology specifically designed to support the main user scenarios in smart cities and to implement both the technical interoperability and the service integration envisaged by the CPS ideal model.
