Tools in the cloud for the Smart Cities Data fabric to manage complexity in the smart governments
In the vision of smart cities, we need to break the silos in the different agencies of the city and enable a multidisciplinary collaboration.
We propose a set of tools in the IBM Cloud using Data pack as one example of how to engage collaboration among data scientists in the city’s different agencies to break the silos and enable reliable data assets from the urban environment. For example, we show a use case to empower/enhance/enable the Smart government with this technology processes for better efficiency.
-Define Data fabric concept in Smart Cities.
-Data is the fuel. All type of data is created in cities (via sensors- IoT or digital processes). How can we analyze that data?
A discussion will be open at the end of the tutorial on other ecosystems and technologies in the smart cities that can benefit from this approach (Data Ops, IoT, Artificial Intelligence, Public policy developments, Data-Driven Decision Making)
Smart cities practitioners, Data Scientist, Chief Information officers at government, Digital transformation agencies, Smart cities labs, Students interested in the smart cities topic.
