Abstract

The vision of smart cities has became a reality.Technological advances in low power devices and reliable communication and overall system architectures made it happening.However, there are plenty of improvements that still can be employed to further increase the efficiency of relevent systems or to provide new approaches that improve exisiting solutions.This special issue on Enabling Architectures and Technologies for Smart Cities of the JOURNAL OF COMMUNICATIONS SOFTWARE AND SYSTEMS aims to report on the recent advancements and developments in various aspects related to emerging hardware and software technologies enabling the IoT, such as RFID, WSN, system software architecture, integrated solutions, embedded systems, and so on.This issue recommended totally 10 papers for publication based on the standard reviewing process, where at least two constructive reviews and with guest editors comment have been received.Papers are split in two main groups focused mainly on system architectures that improve reliability in smart cities ([1-5]), and hardware solutions ([6-10]) that are presented as either upgrades to exisiting solutions or new more efficient proposals.All of these were validated by analytics, simulations and/or testbed approaches.In the work “An IoT-aware Architecture to improve Safety in Sports Environments” [1], the authors L. Catarinucci, D. D.

Full Professor
I am a Full Professor in the Department of Electronics and Computing at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture (FESB), University of Split, Croatia, where I teach wireless network security, wireless communication networks, data science and reinforcement learning. My research spans information security, applied cryptography and the Internet of Things. Before returning to FESB in 2020, I was an assistant and then associate professor at the University Department of Forensic Sciences in Split. I co-founded the SpliTech international conference and serve on the editorial board of the Journal of Communications Software and Systems.
