Uma proposta para configuração dinâmica de sensores em cidades inteligentes

Abstract

The development of more efficient communication technologies and the affordability of powerful embedded hardware platforms have brought the smart cities dreams to a more realist setting. Actually, this fertile scenario has fostered the development of different monitoring and control applications aimed at quality life improvement in modern urban areas, often implemented as sensors and actuators networks. Nevertheless, multiple concurrent applications may have different levels of criticality concerning the impact of the performed tasks for the protection of people integrity and thus they may be treated in different ways. This work then proposes an architecture to guide the development of monitoring and control sensor-based applications in smart city scenarios, which will be differentiated based on their monitoring nature when applying prioritization policies. This architecture will also define security mechanisms to ensure that all sensor nodes will respect the defined prioritization for the considered smart cities.
