Smart Cities

Smart Cities
Grand Challenges: KFUPM will develop the following for cognitive cities by 2030:
1- Next generation, energy conscious backbone communications and sensing systems.
2- Models based on cognitive skills for secure privacy-preserving personalized cyber-physical-social systems. 
3- Decision-making algorithms based on cognitive skills to create smart mobility services and carbon free smart transportation modes.
4- Automation based on cognitive skills for optimizing services and improving quality of life.
Smart Cities: Innovation Goal 1
