 Listening to the pulse of our cities during City

In recent years, we witnessed: the progressive instrumentation of our cities with
diverse sensors; a wide adoption of smart phones and social networks that enable
citizen-centric data acquisition; and a growing open release of datasets describing
urban environments. As a result, nowadays it is becoming possible to make sense
of all those data sources using semantic technologies together with streaming
data analysis techniques. In particular, being able to feel the pulse of the city can
allow delivering new services for the large number of organised and spontaneous
events that take place in our cities. This talk frames the problem space, presents
the challenges, proposes a solution centred on RDF stream processing that was
applied to several case studies, and discusses the open problems that may be of
interest of the Semantic Web community.
