This comprehensive book offers a practical framework for harnessing the power of big data, cloud, and pervasive and complex systems to address urban environmental challenges effectively. It delves into the realm of technologies, potential, and potential impacts of big data on energy efficiency and the urban environment.

The book begins by providing an insightful introduction to key aspects of big data, cloud services, pervasive computing, and mobile technologies, emphasizing a pragmatic design perspective. It encompasses a wide range of topics, including sample open source firmware, cloud services, mobile and embedded platforms, interfaces, operating system design methods, networking, and middleware.

The authors then delve into the heart of the framework, exploring design principles, architecture, and key components for developing energy systems that support sustainable urban environments. A comprehensive case study is included, showcasing how to design an energy-efficient next-generation urban navigation system by leveraging vast cloud data sets on user behavior. This case study serves as a valuable roadmap for improving the eco-efficiency of urban transport.

In conclusion, this resource effectively maps the pivotal intersection of big data with rapid global urbanization, paving the way toward a sustainable future. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and stakeholders interested in leveraging the power of technology to address urban environmental challenges and create a more sustainable and resilient urban landscape.
