Introduction to the Minitrack on Smart (City) and Data Streaming Application Development: Challenges and Experiences

Abstract

Building Smart (City) Applications and data streaming have been fast evolving in the last couple of years with a breadth of topics with cities on the edge of the 4th industrial revolution. With COVID-19 starting to be better addressable and people returning to big cities and downtown areas, visions for urban utopia with focus on sustainability and communities arise again. The combination of Artifical Intelligence, Internet of Things and data streaming methods open up novel research areas with large transational potential and address topics such as smart transportation and standards such as Industry 4.0. This minitrack features the concepts and ideas of Smart Applications and data streaming applications, their implementations, especially from a software engineering point of view. Submissions to this minitrack include presentations of architectures, frameworks, platforms and infrastructures as well as success stories of implementations.
