A Proposed Approach for Agile IoT Smart Cities Transformation– Intelligent, Fast and Flexible

Smart city architectures have been varying from one community to another. Each community leader develops their own perspective of smart cities. Some of these communities focus on data management, while others focus on provided services and infrastructure. In this research, an attempt to propose a clear, complete, and efficient perspective of smart cities is accomplished. The proposed generic architecture clarifies the full capabilities, requirements, and layers’ contribution to a successful smart city development. The proposed architecture utilizes Internet of Things tools as well as agile standards in the description of each layer. The research aims to discuss each layer in detail, the relationships among layers, the applied technology, and every aspect that leads to the success of using the recommended architecture. Although smart cities, IoT, and agile research have previously tackled the relation of each one of them with the other, up to the researchers’ knowledge, the three paradigms have not been previously considered as a unified collaborative approach. In order to reach the research target, the proposed architecture intelligently utilizes these paradigms and presents a robust architecture with high-quality standards.
