Content Centric Services in Smart Cities

We expect around 9 billions people on the Earth within 2050, 70% of them living in urban environments. By that time, we have to be ready to support a never seen request for ICT services in order to improve the efficiency of future Smart Cities, thus allowing a pacific coexistence among humans. Inline with this premise, the present contribution proposes a novel service platform, based on the emerging content-centric networking paradigm. It can easily embrace all available, upcoming, and remote generation wireless techologies, while supporting, at the same time, ubiquitous and secure applications in many domains, such as: e-helthcare, intelligent transportation systems, entertainment, and many others. All details of the approach we propose, have been carefully described by means of pragmaticaluse-cases, thus making evident its effectivenes in future realistic urban environments.
