The objective of this proposal is to exploit an early concept of a flexible, low-cost, and drone-carried broadband long-distance communication infrastructure and investigate its capability for immediate smart-city application in emergency response.
Traditionally, cyber-physical systems (CPS) have been built using domain-specific closed architectures with self-contained resources. This traditional approach is inadequate for smart city solutions, which are inherently multi-domain and require crossing conventional organizational and infrastructure boundaries.
