What is urban computing

Urban computing is a extention of ubiquitous computing it shares common requirements with its predecessor, like context awareness, user centricity, composability and dynamicity.

Paper 1: A task-oriented approach to support spontaneous interactions among users in urban computing environments

Study of the behavior of a group of people on campus.

Analyzed data and constructed a semantic model with the variables that make interactions on campus.

Construction of the variables proposed algorithm with the semantic model.

Implementation of the model in a framework to provide services.

Paper 2: Contexts-Management Strategy with Security Consideration in Urban Computing based on urban design

Developing security strategies for urban computing systems.

Attacks UrbComp systems include: DDos, Sniffing, Sham server, Malicious Context, Routing Attack.

Urban Life Scenario. Safety tips such as

encryption, access lists, authentication between devices, etc.

Paper 3: Driving Innovation in Urban Computing with a community testbed

Organization of a testbed in Oulu, Finland to develop urban computing environments.

First event: Students from at least 20 countries interacting with the city.

Second event: Innovative development of applications for the use of these applications in the community.
