Abstract
Smart cities have become the buzzword today, and it offers various smart
services such as building automation systems, intelligent grids, smart transportation, and many more. With the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT),
smart cities have become a reality in many parts of the world. The systems
that operate and control smart cities typically function in an isolated manner
with no connectivity to the others. At this point, there is a probability that one
system’s functionality can potentially impact the other. For instance, drainage
and flood control systems can affect both traffic management and emergency
management system functionalities. The use of soft computing assists in
effectively dealing with real-world uncertainties associated with smart cities.
It offers robust solutions to smart cities through the utilization of approximate, partial, and uncertain data. This editorial entitled “soft computing for
smart city” is a collection of 14 research articles that represent the efficient
use of soft computing solutions for smart city paradigms.
