Much has been written about the rapidly emerging,
the disruptive impact being detected on every aspect of how
machines and their operational technology communicate with
one another, with the underlying information technology
platforms. Within the smart city exists an infrastructure of
interconnected objects, people, systems, and information
resources together with intelligent services to allow them to
process information on the physical and the virtual world. In this
paper, the authors talk about the advantages and the uses of
these technologies in the smart city and the new challenges of
citizens to reduce energy consumption and global warming.
This paper attempts to address these new approaches and the
requirements involved and to articulate it in a concise and
concrete way. The aim is to assist decision makers, architects,
developers, and implementers in changing the character of the
smart city initiatives from ones based on simple transformation
to ones involving play shifts in the way that devices are identified,
management and controlled.Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness of Spain TEC2013-40767-
