Smart Cities Data Streams Integration: experimenting with Internet of Things and social data flows

Smart cities are nowadays expanding and flourishing worldwide with Internet of Things (IoT), i.e. smart things like sensors and actuators, and mobile devices applications and installations which change the citizens' and authorities' everyday life. Smart cities produce daily huge streams of sensors data while citizens interact with Web and/or mobile devices utilizing social networks. In such a smart city context, new approaches to integrate big data streams from both sensors and social networks are needed to exploit big data production and circulation towards offering innovative solutions and applications. The SmartSantander infrastructure (EU FP7 project) has offered the ground for the SEN2SOC experiment which has integrated sensor and social data streams. This presentation outlines its research and industrial perspective and potential impact.
