Meeting SDGs in Smart City Infrastructures: Federation, Interoperability and Discoverability explains the current state-of-the-art practices in the smart city context for digitization and e-governance processes in accordance with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It discusses pros and cons of the various data standards and federation measures involved in the digital transformation of cities considering the end user as well as implementor's viewpoint. It utilizes real-world use cases of cities around the world, highlighting their goals and what measures they have adopted. It provides guidelines for achieving long-term service federation, interoperability and discoverability while keeping the UN SDGs in perspective. This book provides the basic insights for technical and strategic viewpoints for data and communication interoperability and federation measures. Later it provides federated scaling solutions to enable service discovery and features in a cross-sector deployment. These are useful for designing digitisation measures by using one or leveraging overlapping features of many introduced solutions. These solutions are provided for specific contexts and use-cases, making understandability of the technical interfaces and their relationship with governance mechanisms easier for a range of audiences working in smart city contexts. This book will help practitioners and researchers in the smart city domain better understand existing and evolving technologies and how to better formulate their processes to provide a sustainable model for urban development. Giving them insight into the feasibility and implications of highly scalable smart city and urban solutions will allow better constructs for urban digital ecosystems, enabling information exchange and interoperability across multiple sectors. It ultimately supports infrastructure goals of ensuring security, privacy, and transparency while enabling future concepts for Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Linked Data and e-governance.• Defines and describes real-world digital transformation needs arising from smart city domain • Analyzes standards, methods, and best practices related to processes in smart city infrastructure builds • Analyzes and makes recommendations related to the technologies (both legacy and upcoming), their set-up, functions and the future requirements to meet the SDGs

Dr. Manas Pradhan is a scientist and technology expert in the domain of urbani?sation and digital transformation. He currently leads the technology division of DKSR GmbH which is involved in Smart City projects in Europe and the USA. He earlier represented Germany in the NATO for civil-military cooperation for security and resilience for future urbanisation initiatives involving 30 nations. He received his bachelor's degree in computer science and engineering from ITER Bhubaneswar, India and master's degree in informatics from RWTH Aachen University, Germany. His Doctoral degree concluded from Department of Tech?nology Systems, University of Oslo, Norway. He has been the author of many papers and book chapters for international publications in the direction of feder?ation, interoperability, IoT, integration of legacy and innovative hardware, data and its use, Smart Cities and system architectures. As a standardisation expert, he also is involved in IEEE and German National Standardisation activities.
