The document summarizes the EU FP7 CityPulse Project, which aims to develop a smart city framework and analytics tools for large-scale data analysis from Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The project has defined over 101 smart city scenarios and will prototype 10 of these. It is developing an integrated framework with software tools, backend support servers, and common data interfaces. The goal is to extract insights from physical, cyber, and social data streams in (near) real-time to address smart city problems and provide proof-of-concept demonstrations and applications. Key challenges include processing real-world IoT data streams, ensuring privacy and security, and designing an open and reliable smart city data analytics framework.
