This book presents a practical framework for the application of big
data, cloud, and pervasive and complex systems to sustainable
solutions for urban environmental challenges. It covers the
technologies, potential, and possible and impact of big data on
energy efficiency and the urban environment. The book first
introduces key aspects of big data, cloud services, pervasive
computing, and mobile technologies from a pragmatic design
perspective, including sample open source firmware. Cloud services,
mobile and embedded platforms, interfaces, operating system design
methods, networking, and middleware are all considered. The authors
then explore in detail the framework, design principles,
architecture and key components of developing energy systems to
support sustainable urban environments. The included case study
provides a pathway to improve the eco-efficiency of urban
transport, demonstrating how to design an energy efficient next
generation urban navigation system by leveraging vast cloud data
sets on user-behavior. Ultimately, this resource maps big data's
pivotal intersection with rapid global urbanization along the path
to a sustainable future.
