Self-Adaptation in IoT Systems for Smart Cities

Resumo

Smart Cities (SC) leverage digital technologies to enhance the effectiveness of urban services and improve the quality of life. Since it is a recent field of development, several challenges are afoot. An important part of this challenge concerns adaptive behavior, which is paramount to SC solutions, to respond to contextual changes and carry out tasks with minimal human interaction. Given this relevance, we performed a literature review to characterize the platforms, application types, and adaptation aspects for SC and discuss the challenges to building self-adaptive systems SC. The reviews resulted in 23 papers analyzed, from which the findings of the field's research potential, with a particular emphasis on developing SC solutions and the difficulties that must be resolved before they can be built.
