Summary
Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and Cloud Computing marks a rapidly evolving research frontier, signifying a substantial leap in technological progression within the digital era. The convergence of these technologies is pivotal in creating Cognitive Cities, leading to significant advancements across various domains, including smart urban development, healthcare, energy, and financial services. Cognitive Cities represents the next generation of smart cities, utilizing AI-powered predictive analytics within a cloud computing framework to enrich urban environments and operational processes. This synergy enhances data processing and analytics, improving efficiency and automation while providing scalable and flexible solutions. Furthermore, IoT is crucial within these interconnected frameworks, offering a dynamic and distributed network for real-time data exchange, analysis, and storage, which is essential for developing responsive, adaptive, and intelligent urban infrastructures.
Within this special issue, we aim to delve into the confluence of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), Cloud Computing, and the emerging concept of Cognitive Cities as transformative forces in ecological optimization and refining management methodologies across key sectors. Cognitive Cities embody integrating these technologies in an urban context, enhancing industrial production, energy generation, and healthcare provision through advanced data analytics and interconnected infrastructures. We welcome contributions that share innovative technologies, forward-thinking policies, or best practices related to the development and implementation of Cognitive Cities from theoretical and practical perspectives. Contributions may include but are not limited to, discussions on the deployment of IoT in urban ecosystems, the application of AI for urban planning and management, the use of cloud-based platforms for city-wide data integration, and the socio-economic impact of transitioning to Cognitive Cities.
