Prof. Zhi (Gerry) Tian
Fellow of IEEE Electrical and Computer Engineering George Mason University
Abstract:
Cities and communities around the world are entering a new era of transformation in which residents and their surrounding environments are increasingly connected through rapidly changing intelligent technologies. Smart city technology leverages intelligent city infrastructure, including connected devices, sensors, and data analytics, to improve quality of life for residents, enhance economic growth, and address city challenges. This talk presents an academic perspective on information and communication technologies that propel the vision of smart and resilient cities. It is recognized that smart city development builds on the network combination of the Internet, telecommunications network, broadcast network, wireless broadband network and other sensors networks with Internet of Things technology (IoT) as its core. Meanwhile, the main features of a smart city include a high degree of information technology integration and a comprehensive application of information resources, which promotes advances in signal processing and data analytics for efficient data collection and inference. The related research activities support the Smarter DC initiative.
