(1861 – 1947)
Civilization advances by extending
the number of important operations
which we can perform without
thinking about them.
Introduction to Mathematics (1911)

4. State, Data and the City
City authorities, citizens and entrepreneurs need data

7. The usecase may differ for different user
Multiple Users Need Same Data

13. State is Exhibitted with Attributes
13
Attribute Value
Temperature 23 OC
Pressure 1016 mb
Humidity 80%
Wind 8 Kmph
Rain fall 3 cm
A State may expressed
using multiple attributes
Weather

14. Sometimes We Control the State
14
Light
OFF ON
Switch On
Switch Off
Few things expose internal state
using state machines
Sometimes users control the
state

15. A temperature service
A time service
A light service
A service is used access the state/attribute
No bleeding between users or services
Autonomous Services

16. Client behavior need not be defined
Client use case determines the use of a service
Behavior of servers is independent of clients
Allows innovation in client implementation
Client – Server Model

Use case 1: A
Use case 2: AB
Use case 3: ABC
Use case 4: ABD

19. Autonomous Services - Innovation
19
n Services = ((2^n) – 1) possible Use cases
1 Service = 1 Use case 2 Services = 3 Use cases 3 Services = 7 Use cases
100 Services = 1 267 650 600 228 229 401 496 703 205 375 Use cases

20. Framework for Smart City Applications

Get Data Get Visibility Take Actions Keep Learning

24. How do We Get the Data?
24
Sense
Install new sensors to
generate new data
History
Make the data captured so
far available
Capture
Add connectivity/open
up existing sources

25. Data from History
