As a first step SEG‐1 formed 3 Task Groups with the aim of a) identifying state of the art and potential gaps to address the IEC standardization needs with respect to smart cities; b) filling any gaps by outlining a roadmap of smart cities standardization, architectures and prospective standardization projects including a reference architecture; and c) aligning terms and definitions in the electrotechnical field referring to smart cities. SEG‐1 set up 8 working groups to research the market needs and relevance, business drivers that are relevant to the area being studied. The specific study areas from the working groups are: – WG1: City Service Continuity – WG2: Urban Planning and Simulation System – WG3: City Facilities Management – WG4: Use Case – Smart Homes – WG5: Use Case – Smart Education – WG6: Smart Cities Assessment – WG7: Standards development for Smart Cities – City of Johannesburg, South Africa – WG8: Mobility and Logistics in Cities For the purposes of harmonizing and advancing Smart City activities in the IEC, the SEG on Smart Cities recommends to transition into a full Systems Committee (SyC) on Smart Cities.
