Summary

Supplement 28 to ITU-T Y-series Recommendations proposes an integrated management solution for smart sustainable cities. With integrated management for smart sustainable cities (IMSSC), sensors, nodes and models can function in an organized way. As a result, when emergency events occur, the data, models and other resources needed, can be rapidly discovered and acquired. To achieve the goal of making a city smarter and more sustainable, the first step is to analyse real-time processes and understand event patterns through event modelling. Additional capabilities, in terms of processing units, application units, as well as models, might be needed. The second step is to fuse processing so that different sources of observation can be combined together to compensate their own deficiencies and attain the goal more efficiently. Finally, services for information resource publishing and sharing as well as result fusing are also necessary to disseminate information across the concerned agencies. By adopting the integrated management system, each city can take a big step towards the implementation of the smart sustainable city vision.
