Smart City Concepts Cloud-Based Learning Platform for Undergraduate IT Students

To address the long-standing urban challenges and improve city services and utilities, major cities are adopting smart city initiatives which involve cyber physical systems and emerging technologies. Nevertheless, there is a need for a high-quality workforce with adequate training and skills at different capacities. The proposed solution is to design and develop a cloud-based learning and simulation platform that includes major features and functionalities of smart cities. The scope of this platform could be limited to IoT, Sensors networking, Big Data, smart power grid, smart transportation, and cybersecurity.
