Milestone 3
Literature Review
According to Centenaro et al. (2016), connectivity is a very genuine and significant
aspect of a smart city. The writer of this paper have structured this resource is such a way that
it helping us in evaluating the IOT enabled technologies which are integrated in the smart
cities like the short range communication technologies. The drawback of this paper is that it
is written in a generalized format.
According to Strohbach et al. (2015), the application of the machine learning
algorithms in the smart cities is a very important issue regarding the IoT enabled
technologies. The prime limitations of this paper are that it is written in a more generalized
way. However, the paper helps us in mitigating the risks associated with the technologies.
According to Anagnostopoulos et al. (2015), the environmental aspects of the internet
of things in smart cities are described in a professional way in this paper. The paper revolves
around the achievement of the dynamic wastage collection technologies which contributes
effectively to the smart city ideologies. The main limitations of this paper is that it do not
discusses the dynamic model scheduling which could have been used by the future
generations.
According to Arasteh et al. (2016), the digital technologies used in the smart cities are
entirely based on the internet of things. But the drawback of this paper is that the paper is
written entirely in a generalized format rather than focusing on a specific technology. The
paper gives wide knowledge of the overall use of IoT in smart cities.
According to Gaur et al. (2015), the application of the wireless sensory networks is
increasing in the smart cities. The main advantage of this resource is that is focused on the

protection of essential data which is considered as an asset these days in smart cities. The
limitations of this paper are that challenges which the organization faces in protecting those
vital data are not written in this paper.
As discussed by Bryant et al. (2017), the application of the IoT enabled technology in
the daily activities of the citizens of the smart is discussed in this paper. The paper focuses on
the resilience and sustainability. The prime advantage of this resource is that it gives an in-
depth knowledge about the approaches on how to make use of the IoT enabled devices in a
professional way. The main limitation of the paper is that it do not consider the ethical issues
of the technologies.
As discussed by Jin et al (2014), the internet of things is related to the ICT industry
for the purpose of providing different types of IT products to the citizens of the smart cities.
The prime feature of this paper is that it gives a lot of information related to the different
types of IT products but the limitation of the paper is that it do not focus on the challenges
related to the development of those products.
As discussed by Memos et al. (2018), the principals of the smart systems should be
highly considered while the applications are used for different purposes. The paper provides
sufficient information about the protocols which are generally followed by the smart systems
of the smart cities. The drawback of this paper is that it do not focuses on the privacy and
security issues of those smart systems.
As discussed by Toenjes, Kuemper & Fischer (2015), analysis of the smart city data is
a very important issue for knowing the effectiveness of the smart system which are
dedicatedly used for maintaining the data security in smart cities. The limitation of the paper
is that it focuses only on the enhancing the accuracy of those dedicated systems rather than
identifying the reasons behind the cause of the issues.

According to Khanna & Anand (2016), the evolution of the internet of things in smart
cities are described in this resource. The main feature of this paper it that it emphases on the
use of IoT in enhancing the efficiency and productivity of the urban infrastructure. The paper
is focused on the smart parking facilities and cloud computing and the related technologies
which are associated with IoT in smart cities.

of the technology. All the past techniques used for solving the problem should be examined
by the organisation so that its effectiveness can be identified.
Current and past techniques to solve the problem
The application of the conventional legacy systems is very much ineffective these
days as the needs and requirements of the users of the IoT enabled systems to keep on
changing.
