Abstract
It is through information and communications technologies (ICT) that smart cities are truly turning "smart." This is facilitated by means of services that use, among others, networked sensors and actuators deployed in the city, allowing the monitoring of the urban environment in real time, to react just in time if needed and to establish automated control processes with less or even without human intervention.
