3. • Population works in cities but tends
to reside in surrounding areas
• European population is dramatically
decreasing
• Rural areas are the ones most
affected
• Technological conditions are
an additional limitation to
industry placement
• Village population
• isolation
• Community’-oriented business
• Normally, not profitable as a use
case for large players
• Requires new business models

Villages and Cities, Europe

• Smart Cities
• Large sets of roaming users
• Good infrastructures
• Good level of technical literacy
• Large sets of open data
• High risk for service delivery - more
demanding users
• Smart Villages
• Low level of technical literacy
• Differentiated pools of users
• Intermittent connectivty
• Low-cost and often old equipment
• Relevant experimentation settings
(controlled)
• Catalisers for innovation

4. • Management platform capable of adapting to the dynamics of citizens shared interests (e.g.
interest detection and selection)
• Capable of aggregating data in valuable knowledge
• Examples of sources: large data centers, and resource-constrained devices
• Large sets of open data
• High risk for service delivery - more demanding users
Main Goals
• Deliver a prototype of the envisioned platform and its validation in diverse daily life scenarios
• Deliver a detailed plan for a pilot service in selected small cities and villages (or specific living-labs)
• Consider trials integrated with other useage scenarios e.g. in the mobility and logistics domain,
or environmental domain.
