        The concept of Internet of Things (IoT) was offered by Kevin Ashton in 1999, when
the distribution of devices with intelligent sensors integrated with the appropriate
communication tools started. Internet of Things are defined as self-organized systems
having no conceptual limitations, being the part of the convergent systems and are designed
to increase the efficiency of processes in these systems. In its turn the IoT-applications
[
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref1">1</xref>
        ] are defined as sets of connected or integrated objects or devices into the
environment. These objects or devices use the standard communication protocols for
information exchange. The results of the carried out investigations prove that at present the
number of connected Internet of Things, exceed the number of the planet population
and their variety and diversity include a lot of devices which can be used as unified
block solutions while implementing the innovative projects of the future “smart cities”.
      </p>
      <p>
        Two areas of the “smart city” concept were clearly defined by the researchers and
experts working out the real innovative projects for implementation in modern
cities. [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref2">2</xref>
        ]. On the one hand, it is a methodological view on the technologically
concentrated information and communication platform effectively providing the
implementation of the key computing algorithms and IT service complexes and systematically
integrates numerous diverse devices built into specific city objects and urban
environment as a whole. On the other hand it is more socially concentrated concept focusing
on the methods, means and ways of formation of the new knowledge-based urban
society and innovative high-tech urban economy. A reliable bridge between them are the
processes of selection and effective use of data concerning the urban activities, their
complex analysis in order to generate powerful tuples of new information services
designed to optimize the wide range of the processes of the modern city functioning
related by specialist as hypercomplex system. Technology of Internet of Things (IoT) is
regarded by many researches and experts as one of the key information technologies
focused on effective implementation of such functions.
      </p>
      <p>
        The term "Internet of Things (IoT)" in early professional publications was defined
as Іnternet Everything, Іnternet of Everything, Іnternet of People, Іnternet of Signs,
Іnternet of Services, Іnternet of Data, Іnternet of Processes [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref3">3</xref>
        ].
      </p>
      <p>
        In the paper [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref4">4</xref>
        ], IoT is interpreted as a network of related physical objects. “IoT”
integrates people, processes, data and things in order to make the network connections
more relevant and valuable than ever before, transforming information into action and
creating new areas of application, wider experience and unprecedented economic
opportunities for enterprises, individuals and countries in general.
      </p>
      <p>Internet of Things have sets of characteristics formed in accordance with the set tasks
in a particular research area. Because of the incomplete formation of the terminology
base, it is reasonable to provide the basic definitions and terms characteristic to modern
innovation class of information and communication technologies. The basic concept of
Internet of Things, technology is the implementation of the paradigm according to
which "almost all Internet of Things are interconnected" transformed into the
implementation of the following characteristics:
- Convergence provides the ability to process arbitrary types of data (text, photos,
video and audio, etc.) by means of any technological device.
- Connectivity - allows you to connect anywhere and anytime.
- Connection - provides the means for communication with any network in any way.
- Content - available from anywhere at any time, without content restrictions.
- Calculations – are available to everyone who has knowledge concerning the
principles of operation without limitation of duration and time of access
- Collections - are the set of services or any particular service available for solving
an arbitrary list of tasks.</p>

      <p>“Smart city” – Basic Concept
Information and communication technologies are focused on solving problems
connected with the growing complexity of urban complexes, urban infrastructure networks,
urban population, and stimulate the implementation of the innovative "smart cities"
projects of the future. The concept of the "smart city" is intended to be implemented in
the complex urban environment including a variety of complex infrastructure systems,
the behavior of numerous urban communities, innovative advanced technologies, social
and political structures, a diversified economy, etc. The "smart cities" projects provide
for the implementation of sound management methods for urban components and
subsystems, such as transport, health care, education, power engineering, the system of
factors affecting protection and improvement of the environment quality, etc.</p>
      <p>
        Over the past few years, the unprecedented increase in the amount of various types
of information flows, which source are social networks [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref20">20</xref>
        ] and the Internet, that in its
turn caused the emergence of the new class of information technologies such as Internet
of things technology (IoT) [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref21">21</xref>
        ], [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref22">22</xref>
        ]. Information flows from social and sensory
networks can be integrated in order to search for hidden correlations and associations to
extend the diversity of information and services provided in the "smart cities".
Information-technology applications of such type are implemented in a number of
innovative projects such as Wiki City [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref23">23</xref>
        ], City Sense [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref24">24</xref>
        ], Google Latitude [25]) and in the
development of the diverse social and urban sensor networks [26], [27], [28]. The
advantages of the integrated use of information resources of social networks and
information flows generated by numerous Internet applications are clearly
demonstrated in the "smart cities" projects , financially supported by the European
Community [29], [30].
      </p>
      <p>The rapid processing of Big Data of poorly structured data in the "smart cities"
projects involves a wide range of activities concentrated on the selection, transmission,
transformation, storage and analytical processing of information flows concerning the
state and processes of environmental pollution, weather, accumulation and utilization
of wastes, water supply and other natural resources, heat and energy sources, sensory
of city events and incidents. At the same time, mining and transformation of data
concerning urban life from social networks are carried out. The technologies of data
transmission and selection formed by urban engineering components, are based particularly
on the use of wireless sensors integrated into numerical industrial and service
information-technological applications. The combination of data obtained from both
physical sensors and social sources contributes to the formation of full picture of city-wide
processes, complexes, subsystems and structures.</p>
      <p>Information systems of the "smart cities" on the basis of modern information and
communication technologies provide powerful, intellectual support both to the urban
population in general and to municipal authorities, in particular. [31] Figure 1
represents the basic components of the modern innovative concept the "smart city".</p>

integration
Analyzing the methodological principles of the development of the integrated
information system of the "smart city" of the future the high level of such systems
complexity should be taken into account. In general, the modern system of
informational-technological support of the main business processes, maintenance of urban engineering
infrastructure networks, formation and maintenance of procedures for making optimal
decisions at the level of municipal management, efficient formation and functioning of
the city socio-communicative environment can be referred to the category of
hypercomplex systems. One of the most effective tools for such systems analysis is the
structural functional-decomposition approach, the main subject of which is to analyze the
basic functions of the separate components of the hyper-complex system, the means
and methods providing the performance of these functions and implementing the
hypercomplex inter-component interaction of elements of a functionally separated part
(subsystem) of the general hyper-complex system. In this case the selection of such
functional complexes as the "sensory" subsystem of the "smart city", the network
infrastructure of the IoT technologies cluster in the "smart cities", integration of IT technologies
with Big Data and Cloud computing technologies, data stores and spaces, as well as
Data mining and OLAP are concerned. Only such generalized system approach to the
construction of the comprehensive “smart city” information system of the future can
generate significant innovative energy effects from its implementation and large-scale
implementation with new qualities for its inhabitants living conditions.</p>
      <p>Sensory Structure of the "Smart City".</p>
      <p>At present the primary sensor complexes implemented in specific physical objects or
numerous smartphones of the city inhabitants and guests playing the role of
socio-communicative mobile sensors, are the informational-technological foundations of IOT
technologies cluster in the "smart cities".</p>
      <p>Sensors implemented in systems and domain elements of the "smart city" concept
are the main sources of generating heterogeneous information sets. Information from
sensors is collected due to IoT devices connected to the communication networks.
Smartphones connected to mobile networks GSM / 3G / 4G are used for selection and
transmission of socially oriented urban data. The data collected in such a way are
processed and analyzed in the "smart city" analytical data processing center which virtual
prototype is reasonably to deploy on the cloud platform using cloud data stores [32].
The combination and consolidation of data obtained from the sensors in complexes of
the domains of different types make it possible to improve significantly the parameters
of services and information-technology services provided by the "smart" urban
program-algorithmic applications (Fig. 2).</p>

      <p>The examples of such information-technological applications formed on the basis of
functional sensors physically implemented in real objects, as well as socio-oriented
sensors such as smartphones, tablets, etc. are:
- "smart illumination" - designed to reduce energy consumption [33]
accomplished due to IoT light sensors use [34] along with the comprehensive system
for street illuminating adaptation [35].
- "smart noise control" - designed to detect noise sources and identify the points
of excessive noise pollution of the urban environment in real time mode [33].
- "smart surveillance cameras" - designed to monitor the security situation in
order to track suspicious actions that may endanger the city residents or municipal
property [36].
- Modern sensors in the "smart cities" projects are able to generate Big Data.
Contextual analysis of data obtained from sensors for identifying hidden correlations
plays a key role in the development of "smart" urban information-technological
applications [37].</p>
      <p>Nowadays the implementation of a large number of projects concerning the
development of multi-type monitoring systems particularly for tracking the location of
bicycles, cars, and free space in public parking, etc. using sensor complexes and IoT
infrastructure is carried out (Fig. 3).</p>

Sensor devices and sensors, of RFID and WSN technologies are the main ones in the
given architecture at the "sensory and connection" level. RFID technology provides
automatic identification of network objects. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are able
to collect, process, analyze and distribute data generated in different environments [38].
Due to the availability of compact, cheap, intelligent and widely used sensors (such as
built-in video cameras), WSN plays an important role in implementing IoT-based urban
applications.</p>
      <p>The development of social networks and the widespread use of the smartphones
defined the new sensory paradigm. According to it the active participation of citizens in
the processes of primary data files formation and their use for management and
interaction with the municipal authorities is rapidly growing.</p>
      <p>The addressing system provides a unique identification of objects allowing to
recognize hundreds of thousands of devices and providing the ability to control them
remotely. All devices connected to the network are uniquely identified by their location
and have functional able to provide scaled addressing space. It is effective to use IPv6
protocol having the extended addressing space and providing new IoT-devices with
unique addresses. The protocol is compatible with state-of-the-art devices and
communication technologies, provides versatility, stability, scalability, manageability and ease
of use when applied in the devices with limited resources [39].</p>

types of sensors used in the “smart city” information systems [40] and by the
municipality, the city residents and guests to make optimal decisions based on intelligent
analysis of poorly-structured Big Data in real-time mode are shown in Fig.4.</p>

In "smart houses" as the structural components of the "smart cities", telemetric data
from sensors in real-time mode are constantly controlled. Smoke and temperature
sensors are used to detect fires, and flowmeters of different types provide monitor
processes for electricity, water, gas and heat consumption. "Smart" cars parking places
implement the function of intelligent vehicle driving. Meteorological monitoring
systems provide data concerning the state of weather, external temperature, precipitation,
humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind speed and water level in rivers, lakes and other
urban ponds. Usually, rains and melting snow cause floods, so meteorological sensors
are used to predict the level of water in reservoirs.</p>
        <p>The subsystem of data collection dealing with the state of the environment can
generate from the messages about gas pollution, the level of ozone and noise in the city.

        <p>Generalized Architecture of the "Smart City"
InformationTechnological Platform
The investigations carried out by the authors made it possible to formulate and specify
the basic requirements for the generalized architecture of the "smart city"
informationtechnological platform. The reference architecture model developed according to the
indicated requirements provides effective implementation of a wide range of
information-technological innovations, such as cloud computing, IoT, BigData,
Data Mining, information models of processes and systems in the form of databases,
data stores and data spaces in certain realizations. Figure 5 represents the generalized
architecture of the “smart city” information-technological platform using the IoT
technology cluster roughly decomposed into 6 levels: sensory level, network level,
receiving level, storage, processing and visualization level. The sensory level in its turn is
relatively divided into three components. The sensors sublevel contains water, gas,
electricity and heat consumption meters. It is supposed that both mechanical and smart
meters of consumed resources and services can be used in the system. It is predicted
that the indicators of mechanical flow meters are recorded by means of impulse
converters. The counters are systematic-connected to IoT devices on the basis of the
industrial M-BUS protocol, RS485 and RS232 interfaces, analogue and pulse inputs
represented in the appropriate sub-level (Interfaces for connecting sensors).</p>

At the next sublevel the IoT-devices are provided assuming that different types of
IoTdevices with connected meters can be implemented. In order to take into account heat
consumption indicators, the use of input and output heat sensors is predicted. In this
case, the amount of the consumed heat is calculated as the difference between their
indicators.</p>
        <p>In a generalized architecture, the network layer contains a widespread urban network

IPv6, 6LowPAN, ZigBee, Z-Wave, Thread, NFC, Sigfox, Neul, or LoRaWAN
communications technologies provides access of IoT devices to the Internet network.</p>
        <p>The next three levels are implemented on the basis of on the "smart city" cloud
platform. At the data acquisition level the REST-services for interacting with IoT-devices
can be implemented either as specialized (for a certain service, such as water, gas, heat
or electricity supply), or combined flow meters. The data sets collected at this level
enter the next level and are stored in the distributed scalable data store where the
corresponding set of information entities is generated for each IoT-device. Information
entities can be grouped into thematic databases. Offline and real-time analytical
processing tools and data entries such as REST-services for interaction with billing
systems, REST-services for interacting with mobile applications and web servers are
grouped on the Data Processing Layer. These tools are used to interact with billing
systems, mobile applications, web applications, and interfaces located at the
visualization level. Represented in the generalized architecture of the “smart city”
informationtechnology platform Security tools and the IoT Resource Mapping technologies cluster
provide security procedures, access rights differentiation and IoT-devices
identification.</p>
        <p>On the basis of the offered generalized architecture the authors have designed and
implemented the information-technological system of telemetric recording of water,
heat, gas and electricity consumption focused on the implementation in the "smart
cities" projects. Several generations of digital devices for telemetry data transmition with
the abilities to be connected to the Internet by means of network interfaces (LAN) and
mobile networks were used in the basic version of the offered system. Sensors can be
connected to the digital devices using interfaces for connecting sensors.</p>
        <p>Newer generations of digital devices can communicate with the REST-service on
the remote web server in a dialogue mode. The received data sets concerning consumed
services are stored in the distributed scalable database. The next versions of the system
predict significant expansion of its functional possibilities using the architecture and
data exchange methods typical of IoT-technologies.

        <p>Educational Course "Internet of Things for Smart Cities"
The citywide information system of integrated monitoring and analysis of payments for
consumed resources along with the maintenance of production-business functions can
serve as an effective educational-methodological tool in educational processes
increasing the urban community "knowledge potential" dealing with the problems of
economical consumption and the efficient use of the wide range of resources and services . The
processing and analysis of Big Data from sensors, meters and flow meters allows us to
develop recommendations for consumers regarding optimal time profiles, operating
modes of household equipment and predicted volumes of necessary resources.</p>
        <p>At the same time, this system can be used as the training-laboratory stand model for
conducting classes with students of a number of specialties, implementation of real
course projects and simulation of many processes requiring the study and analysis in
the "smart cities" integrated information systems based on information-technological
IoT platform.</p>
        <p>According to firm CISCO [41] report the IoT market by 2022 will be $ 14.4 billion
and will make it possible to:
- improve the customer experience;
- reduce the time needed from the idea of new product creation till its market
appearance (time-to-market);
- improve the ways of delivery and logistics;
- increase the employees productivity;
- use the assets effectively while reducing overhead costs.</p>
        <p>Training new generation of specialists who are aware in the IoT field is becoming
more and more important.</p>
        <p>New educational and professional curricula for training specialists in the field of
“Information Technologies” are developed in the Universities of Ukraine in
cooperation with IT-firms. New methods and approaches to the training of respective Bachelors
and Masters at the Universities are changed.</p>
        <p>The National University “Lviv Polytechnics” implemented the joint project of the
University and the Lviv IT-cluster concerning creation of educational and professional
curricula on specializations "Internet of Things", "Artificial Intelligence Systems",
"Data Science".</p>
        <p>In the Ukrainian Catholic University implemented the innovative Bachelor's
curriculum in computer sciences developed in cooperation with the IT-industry
representatives.</p>
        <p>The specialists training in the educational-professional curriculum on specialty
"Information Systems and Technologies" was initiated by a number of leading Ukrainian
universities. One of the Master's educational program specialization for specialists
training is particularly the ‘Internet of Things”. Within the framework of the above
mentioned program, the course "Internet of Things for smart cities" was introduced to
the Master's level curriculum. It is based on the knowledge gained in such disciplines
as algorithms and data structures; object-oriented programming; database and
knowledge; distributed and parallel computing systems; data store; intelligent data
analysis for business analytics; web technologies and web design; architecture of computers
and networks; information technology for monitoring and data analysis; information
systems design.</p>
        <p>Introduction of the "Internet of Things (IOT) for the “Smart cities" course into the
curriculum makes it possible to use the offered engineering-technical solutions in the
process of Masters training in the educational professional program of "Information
Systems and Technologies" specialty.</p>
        <p>The "Internet of Things for smart cities" course study involves carrying out the cycle
of laboratory works, the course project, as well as the development of series of
analytical papers.</p>
        <p>The topic of the laboratory work is connected with information- technological
support of infrastructure engineering networks and life support systems of the city. These
are particularly the information systems for recording of gas, water, heat, electricity
consumption and other expenses.</p>
        <p>The specified laboratory works of the cycle involves the execution of a number of
tasks, such as the construction of structural schemes of the relative subsystems,
consisting of four levels (measuring level, messages transmission level, data storage level
and data presentation level).</p>
        <p>At the measuring level the selection and interpretation of the primary measuring
converters used to select data concerning the consumption of the relevant resources is
predicted. It motivates the student to give arguments about the design decisions he or
she made.</p>
        <p>At the data transmission level the student analyses the available decisions, selects
and explains the choice of the controller, carries out the comparative analysis of cellular
network parameters.</p>
        <p>At the data storage level the student analyzes the work of data acquisition modules,
data loads, selects certain FTP-server, Web server and DBMS.</p>
        <p>At the presentation level the student offers solutions concerning the peculiarities of
the system web interface.</p>
        <p>It should be noted that the topics of these laboratory works can be related to the most
diverse aspects of the city functioning.</p>
        <p>The students are offered to develop one of the information systems as topics for
course project in "Internet of Things (IoT) for smart cities" course:
- monitoring the availability of the city car parking places;
- monitoring the measurements of vibration parameters of city buildings, bridges
and historical monuments;
- the city smart illumination;
- analysis of waste pollution levels and optimization of routes for garbage disposal
vehicles;
- control of the enterprises and automobile engines СО2 release;
- monitoring the running water quality;
- monitoring and management of the city energy consumption;
- processes of the water supply network functioning, etc.</p>
        <p>The course projects are developed in teams of 3-5 students, and the result of their
implementation are mobile information and technological applications.</p>
        <p>During semester the students are encouraged to make a report based on the scientific
publications in professional journals and collections of scientific papers,
scientifictechnical reports and reports delivered at scientific and practical conferences. This
includes particularly the development of analytical reviews concerning the state and
results of scientific research and practical developments on important and perspective
research topics. As an example, we give the suggested list of analytical reports:
1. Monitoring systems of leakage and waste release into seas, river basins and ponds
in real time mode
2. Systems for monitoring changes in water levels in rivers and ponds on the example
of Lviv, Transcarpatia, Ivano-Frankivsk, Odesa, Mykolaiv, Kherson regions
3. Monitoring systems for radiation level measuring in the cities located in the areas
of the nuclear power plants influence
4. Monitoring systems for the detection of gas leakage in industrial environments
