Towards cloud based smart cities data security and privacy management (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Khan, Z., Pervez, Z., & Ghafoor, A. (2014, December). Towards cloud based smart cities data security and privacy management. Paper presented at International Workshop on Smart City Clouds: Technologies, Systems and Applications in conjunction with 7th IEEE/ACM Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC), London

Smart cities accumulate and process large amount of data streams which raise security and privacy concerns at individual and community levels. Sizeable attempts have made to ensure security and privacy of inhabitants’ data. However, security and priv... Read More about Towards cloud based smart cities data security and privacy management.

Using space-based downstream services for urban management in smart cities (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Garzon, A., Palacios, M., Pecci, J., Khan, Z., & Ludlow, D. (2014, December). Using space-based downstream services for urban management in smart cities. Paper presented at International Workshop on Smart City Clouds: Technologies, Systems and Applications in conjunction with 7th IEEE/ACM Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC), London, UK

Data collected through remote sensing (for instance geo-satellite) provides necessary stimulus for developing smart solutions for climate change & public health, energy efficiency and land monitoring in an urban environment. The velocity, variety, vo... Read More about Using space-based downstream services for urban management in smart cities.

Exploring population distribution and motion dynamics through mobile phone device data in selected cities – lessons learned from the UrbanAPI project (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Peter-Anders, J., Loibl, W., Züger, J., Khan, Z., & Ludlow, D. (2014, May). Exploring population distribution and motion dynamics through mobile phone device data in selected cities – lessons learned from the UrbanAPI project. Paper presented at REAL CORP 2014, Vienna

The paper discusses experiences of development and implementation of public motion explorer (PME) tool as part of the EU FP7 project urbanAPI. This tool has been applied to three EU cities with the objective to investigate population distribution dyn...
