Network Infrastructure to Realize City as a Service

Abstract

My research area is network infrastructures to realize "City as a Service" in smart cities, where city services can be used like applications on a smart phone. In order to realize various services in City as a Service, large amounts of monitoring data need to be processed quickly and reliably. My research interests include traffic control and information security. In this presentation, I will describe network infrastructure technologies to realize City as a Service from the viewpoint of traffic control and information security.
