Research Group at Centro de Informatica (CIn)- UFPE
Smart Cities is a market buzzword that can be seen as a new technological paradigm for the twenty-first century, aimed at organizing major urban centers through the convergence of different information and communication technologies (ICT), relying on the so-called Internet of Things (IoT). Although there is no consensus on a formal definition of a Smart City, it is common view that it became a niche market growing worldwide. By the year 2020, 100 billion dollars will be invested globally only in telecommunications infrastructure in this new sector of urban computing. This new trend on computing involves acquisition, integration, and analysis of big and heterogeneous data generated by a diversity of sources in urban spaces.
Coming from a different direction, another trend within the scope of Smart Cities involves the creation of technological solutions made by the citizens themselves, encouraged the use of open data and transparency to the creation of civic innovation.
We are a research group in Software Engineering and Distributed Systems applied to the Smart Cities and Internet of Things domains. Our research interests can be grouped under two perspectives:
