I. SMART CITIES
The emerging smart cities concept is becoming a
compelling example of how information technologies can
improve the quality of life while optimizing the city
operations [24]. With over half of the worlds population
living in cities and rapid population growth in emerging
economies, there is intense pressure to redesign existing cities
and to design new cities from the ground up to become green
and efficient by providing transportation systems, energy
grids, and public services that will enable the livelihood of
city dwellers [2][15].
Some researchers expect the number of smart cities to
increase from 21 in 2013 to over 88 in 2025; with 31 in
Europe, 25 in the Americas, and 32 in Asia-Pacific [2]. By
2020 the global market for smart urban services is expected
to exceed US$400B per year [45]. Frost & Sullivan forecasts
a US$1.5T global market opportunity in smart city energy,
transportation, healthcare, building, infrastructure and
governance [17].

Definitions
City that makes intelligent responses to different kinds
of needs, including daily livelihood, environmental
protection, public safety, city services, and industrial
and commercial activities.
City that monitors and integrates conditions of all its
crucial infrastructures
A city that connects the physical infrastructure, IT
infrastructure, social infrastructure and business
infrastructure to leverage the collective intelligence of
the city.
A city combining ICT and Web 2.0 infrastructure with
other organizational design and planning efforts to dematerialize and speed up bureaucratic processes and
help to identify new innovative solutions to city
management complexity, in order to improve
sustainability and livability.
The use of smart computing technologies to make the
critical infrastructure components and services of a
citywhich include city administration, education,
healthcare, public safety, real estate, transportation, and
utilitiesmore intelligent, interconnected, and efficient.
Cities that have deployed, or are currently piloting, the
integration of information, communications, and
technology (ICT) solutions across three or more
different functional areas of a city
The application of complex information systems to
integrate the operation of urban infrastructure and
services such as buildings, transportation, electrical and
water distribution, and public safety.
A city may be called smart when investments in
human and social capital and traditional (transport) and
modern (ICT) communication infrastructure fuel
sustainable economic growth and a high quality of life,
with a wise management of natural resources through
participatory government.

business model [8]. As IoT and the smart city trend gather
steam, businesses and cities are preparing for this future.
At present, there are successful models for connected
things such as security systems, automated toll booths, airline
check-in machines, automated teller machines, self-service
retail check out, and smart vending machines. However,
Gartner states that new connected things including ordinary
previously non-smart (passive) things, are being reinvented as
smart objects with digital sensing, computing, and
communications capabilities [18]. The technology is being
deployed, but the challenge for city and business executives
is developing a disruptive IT-enabled service innovation
business model. Adding intelligence to old objects and
infrastructure or designing new smart systems, smart products
and smart services, while necessary, is not sufficient for
disruptive impact or competitive advantage. Technology, to
be truly disruptive, must disrupt customer value.
Lubin and Esty studied how managers dealt with
disruptive market megatrends issues [34]. The authors
researched the TQM and IT megatrends of the 1980s to
determine how managers dealt with megatrend scale
disruption. While most managers perceived that their
decisions could profoundly affect the future competitiveness
or even survival of their organizations, they did not develop a
