Analysis of Requirements and Problems of Development of the Reference Platform for the Development of Smart Cities (Case Study: Kerman City)

The most important part of the software infrastructure in a smart city is its software platform. The software platform for smart cities includes a centralized middleware environment that defines application developers in the design, implementation, deployment and management of applications for smart cities. The study seeks to explore the requirements of a comprehensive software platform for the city to study and find the main challenges and open source problems in developing the generation of such operating systems. The results of this study showed that the platforms in smart cities in the cities have disadvantages and lead us to develop a new reference platform. The four main components of this reference platform are CPS, IoT, BD, and cloud computing. This new pattern can be designed and localized as a reference platform by engineering companies. According to experts, there is no comprehensive software platform for intelligent Kerman city management that should be based on the intelligent city management system. The lack of a comprehensive architecture platform in the city has prevented the data produced by a few sensors being used virtually. Ten factors of rapid development of such platforms prevent smart cities that should be considered by their designing companies. These problems include privacy, data management, heterogeneity, energy management, communications, scalability, security, laboratory deficiencies, urban models, and platform maintenance.
