This book covers complete spectrum of the ICT infrastructure elements required to design, develop and deploy the ICT applications at large scale. Considering the focus of governments worldwide to develop smart cities with zero environmental footprint, the book is timely and enlightens the way forward to achieve the goal by addressing the technological aspects. In particular, the book provides an in depth discussion of the sensing infrastructure, communication protocols, computation frameworks, storage architectures, software frameworks, and data analytics. The book also presents the ICT application-related case studies in the domain of transportation, health care, energy, and disaster management, to name a few. The book is used as a reference for design, development, and large-scale deployment of ICT applications by practitioners, professionals, government officials, and engineering students.
