Cloud computing systems for smart cities and homes

To support this rapid change in information delivery and consumption, cloud computing has evolved from pure technical and narrow field applications to solve higher problem domains in the realms of smart homes and cities. Through standardized system architecture, communication and information exchange, cloud technologies rely on instrumentation and interconnection to provide intelligent feedback and to support new capacities such as digital convergence, energy management or safety and security. Smart homes and cities cannot thrive without data fusion, and mining. Managing, processing, and synthesizing mass flow of information in real time may only be accomplished with state of the art information systems architectures. Cloud computing technologies are a solid foundation to consolidate the physical infrastructure as well as to streamline service delivery platforms.
