3 Integrated management for smart sustainable cities

3.1 Overview

With the continuous development of smart sustainable cities, the categories and forms of
information resources are greatly expanded. A large number of heterogeneous information
resources, like nodes, sensors, observations and events, are involved in IMSSC. The relationship of
these information resources is complicated, sometimes complementary, reinforced or redundant.
However, there is no technical proposal to manage them in an integrated way so that the redundant
information can be eliminated, the weakness of one kind of information resources can be
supplemented by another, and several information resources can be combined together to fulfil the
tasks more effectively. A technical proposal for IMSSC is put forward in Figure 11. In this proposal,
the sensors, observations, models and nodes are encoded and managed in a uniform way in advance,
and when events occur, the service center will invoke the sensors, observations, models as well as
the nodes to perform the corresponding missions as predefined.
