Springer Journal of Reliable Intelligent Environments Special Issue on
‘Security, Usability and Sustainability of Smart Cities’

INTRODUCTION

The society and humans have gained real benefits from multi-disciplinary research on intelligent environments. Intelligent environments make beneficial decisions for the users based on the real-time information and historical data, which can be useful for smart cities and sustainable development. Specifically, a smart city can utilize intelligent environments to make more efficient use of traditional systems, networks and services, in order to deliver citizens-centred services. These intelligent systems pose new performance and reliability related challenges in terms of usability, security, and energy-efficiency, among other areas. This special issue calls for original research papers on algorithms, developments, modeling, tools, design methodologies, case studies and trend-setting ideas in the areas of security, performance, usability and sustainability of intelligent environments for smart cities.
