aims,objectives and timeframes for smart homes,smart buildings and smart cities?

Answer 1

Smart homes, Smart buildings and Smart cities

AIM

The AIM is to create smart citizens who want to maximize the benefits of technology for everyone, for instance greater sustainability and energy efficiency, better energy distribution, public health and safety, and mobility and accessibility. That’s fine with governments and companies because this trend increases the appreciation and adoption of smart tech.

OBJECTIVE

The concept of a smart city, smart buldings and smart homes has been changing over the time from “intelligent” to “digital” to “smart” and to “sustainable smart” or “smart sustainable”.

All ecosystem partners - governments, enterprises, software providers, device manufacturers, energy providers, and network service providers - must do their part and integrate solutions that abide by four core security objectives:

1. Availability: Without actionable, real-time, and reliable access to data, the smart city can’t thrive. How information is collected, distilled, and shared is critical, and security solutions must avoid adverse effects on availability.
2. Accountability: Users of a system must be responsible for their actions. Their interactions with sensitive systems should be logged and associated with a specific user. These logs should be difficult to forge and have reliable integrity protection
3. .Confidentiality: Some of the data collected, stored, and analyzed will include sensitive details about consumers themselves. Steps must be taken to prevent unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information.
4. Integrity: Smart cities depend on reliable and accurate data. Measures must be taken to ensure that data is accurate and free from manipulation.

TIMEFRAMES

The literature review revealed that the smart building and smart city concepts were developed in different time frames and by different stakeholders and, thus, need to be realigned. The most important aspect is to employ in a smart building all the functionalities proposed by the smart areas of the city and vice versa by enabling the recommended features of smart materials, smart building services, and smart construction to serve for the surrounding systems.Development is still going on for making smart citie, buildings and homes.
