Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Smart regions, which include smart cities, villages, and natural spaces, are an integrating concept that is a key component in the sustainable development of countries and a very important trend in the improvement of the modern world and the development of humans.
Smart cities and regions should ensure comfort and safety/security for its inhabitants and provide various services based on information and communication technologies, artificial intelligence, and mobile systems (e.g., UAV, robotics, and autonomous transport), among others.
This Special Issue aims to gain insights into the development of holistic methodologies and technologies for the sustainable development of smart cities and regions. We welcome articles that propose efficient ideas and solutions for smart ecosystems, as well as intelligent mobile information and communication technologies, targeted at the creation and implementation of safe and high-quality services for smart regions.
The Guest Editors invite you to submit original articles that provide the results of interesting and important research and developments, including but not limited to the following:
- Sustainable and green information and communication technologies for smart cities and regions;
- Human-centred smart region ecosystems for sustainable development;
- Mathematical models and simulation methods for sustainability and sustainable development of smart regions;
- Intelligent technologies and services for smart cities and regions;
- AI quality (trustworthiness, explainability, resilience, ethics, etc.) for safe and sustainable ecosystems;
- UAVs, UAV swarms, and UAV fleets as a service for smart regions;
- Safety- and security-informed sustainability of smart regions;
- Mobile and safe autonomous transport systems for smart cities and regions;
- Smart technologies for wellness engineering and e-health.
