A joint seminar on big data analytics for smart city was recently held at the University of Macau (UM) Institute of Collaborative Innovation. The event was organised by UM’s State Key Laboratory of Internet of Things for Smart City (SKL-IOTSC), with assistance from Brunel University. During the event, experts and scholars from around the world had an in-depth discussion on technologies for smart city development.
In his speech, UM Rector Yonghua Song said that the seminar aimed to identify scientific and technical hurdles in the development of smart cities and the Internet of Things. He added that UM will focus its efforts on five research areas, namely sensory information and communications system and network safety, urban big data and smart technologies, smart energy, smart transport based on the Internet of Things, and urban public security and emergency management, in order to provide technical support in the development of smart cities for Macao, the Greater Bay Area, and other parts of China.
Prof Gareth Taylor and Prof Maozhen Li from Burnel University and Prof Jia Weijia and Prof Gong Zhiguo from UM delivered talks in the seminar. Scholars from both universities shared their latest research results in the fields of smart grid, smart cities, high-performance parallel processing, big data analysis, and online data mining with participating experts, scholars, engineers, and students.
