Abstract

Smart city infrastructures offer unique testbeds ground for innovative experimentation and services offering. Sensors networks in cities with integrated social networks activities can improve people-centric services, while improving infrastructures setting. This work summarizes the principles and priorities chosen in a smart city experiment, entitled SEN2SOC which bridges sensor measurements and social networks interactions for supporting smart city services. SEN2SOC prioritizes requirements along particular categories which cover data collection, users sensing along with applications implementation and architectural concerns. These requirements are correlated with the suggested components in an architecture which is flexible enough in order to permit various activities control flow in terms of data preprocessing, conditions detection, statistical analysis as well as applications development and social data mining.
