Towards Smart Cities
What is happening in our cities?
Megatrend: sustainable transformation of technical systems
3 main transformations of technical systems are impacting upon our cities
• Technological changes in multiple sectors
• Increasing rate of change
• Merging of separate sectors

Towards Smart Cities
When we speak of Smart Cities, we are addressing:
• Municipality and services to the citizen
• Public and Private mobility
• Safety of citizens and assets
• Territory monitoring (hydrogeological risk,…)
• Energy and Building Management
• Communications
• Security of IT services and Data
• Logistics and distribution of goods
• Management of Events (sport, cultural,…)
• ……

Towards Smart Cities
We are moving from Vertical models towards Horizontal models which
support vertical applications, as already happened in Civil and Military

The architectural approach
Four main technical guidelines:
• Vertical applications related to various Smart Systems Solutions
are all based on the same Horizontal Architecture which
provides the relevant Components and Interconnections
• The Architecture is based on 3 Layers:
• Field Layer
• Integration and Skill Layer
• Presentation Layer
• Fixed and Mobile Communications support all layers
• Cyber Security is pervasive and supports all layers
Presentation Layer - Control Rooms
Skill layer - Integration and SW Components
Field Layer - Sensors and Actuators Co

The Field Layer
Each application requires the integration of sensors and subsystems
pertaining to its target.
All Sensors exchange information with the upper layer through specific
adapters in terms of information structure and content fields.
Examples of areas for technical evolution:
• Sensors for Low Voltage energy grids
• Sensing of dangerous substances
• Sensing of crowds
• Fast access control
• biometrics / facial screening
• e-identity

The Skill Layer
The Skill Layer is where all SW components are placed for:
• data analysis
• data fusion
• behavior modeling
• forecast of system evolution
• decisions in terms of suggestions towards the Presentation Layer
or direct commands to the Field Layer
All SW components interoperate through a Common Service Bus (SIF)

The Presentation Layer
The Presentation Layer provides interface towards the 4 possible “types of
users” foreseen by Agenzia per L’Italia Digitale (Humans and Machines).
The overall system should consider both:
• Components related to Real-time functions
• Components for Simulation and Planning
It must be adapted to the specific application, and often characterized by
interactivity.
In some cases we need Operation Centers and Control Rooms, in other
cases just Apps over user terminals.
Private Cloud services are preferred, but sometimes ad-hoc segregated
solutions are needed.

Communications
Fixed and Mobile Communications are the glue of all these components,
through:
• Consumer networks and services
• Private networks and services
• Integration of heterogeneous communication networks
• Device specific communications
Consumer networks guarantee communications among communities of
citizens and towards local and central government services.
Private networks guarantee secure, reliable and resilient communications for
public protection and critical infrastructures.
Integration of heterogeneous networks guarantee full interoperability among
different organizations and the extension to enabled additional users.
Devices can take advantage of consumer networks coverage, and also of
new communication means like Cognitive Radio or M-Bus

Cyber Security
Cyber security is essential if we want to develop applications and services
for Smart Cities.
We need to protect IT networks, communications, information, sensors and
Critical infrastructures from Cyber Attack. Especially solutions based on
sensors and actuators need to protect themselves (remember Stuxnet).
In the area of Cyber Security the evolution is towards:
• Cyber Security of SCADA networks
• Networks protection from Advanced Persistent Threats
• Prevention of Cyber Attacks using sophisticate analysis of
signals from the web.

Smartness and Sustainability as a common goal
In the overall scenario, various types of activities and collaboration for
Universities and Research Centers are possible.
The presence of Universities and Research Centers in the territory is an
added value both for Enterprises and for Local Government
Some examples:
- global collaborations:
• Development of SW Components
• Adaptation of sensors
• Mapping of data bases
• Study of communications and security solutions
• …..
- collaborations related to localization:
• Mapping of local information and territory data bases
• Interfaces towards available assets
• Consultancy to local administration
• Development of specific Control Rooms for local agencies
• E-Health on the territory
• Direct participation to pre-competitive local initiatives
• …...
