Collective Intelligence for Smart Cities begins with an overview of
the fundamental issues and concepts of smart cities. Surveying the
current state-of-the-art research in the field, the book delves deeply
into key smart city developments such as health and well-being,
transportation, safety, energy, environment and sustainability. In
addition, the book focuses on the role of IoT cloud computing and big
data, specifically in smart city development. Users will find a unique,
overarching perspective that ties together these concepts based on
collective intelligence, a concept for quantifying mass activity
familiar to many social science and life science researchers. Sections
explore how group decision-making emerges from the consensus of the
collective, collaborative and competitive activities of many
individuals, along with future perspectives.
