Abstract

As ICTs became more powerful and accessible it became evident that objects would start to communicate. M2M progressively completed the idea of smart objects and M2M networks came into being; opening new scopes for services. Moving away from application orientated networks; SensCity will build a mutualised M2M infrastructure for sustainable city services. The project is led by a consortium of industrials; SMEs and research laboratories. This paper introduces the scope of services targeted by SensCity and overviews related technical and scientific issues. One concern is how to appreciate environmental impacts and benefits for this particular kind of PSS.
