Abstract
Due to the emergence of smart city applications, various smart city models and architectures have been proposed in different domains. Since there are strengths and weaknesses among those smart city models, it is therefore valuable to evaluate the smart city models and use the results to further develop a new service design model in the smart city. This can on the one hand provide an overview of the similarity and differences of smart city models, and on the other hand, it will also help the new smart service design to avoid reinventing the wheel. Therefore, this paper firstly classifies the smart city models with a conceptual and structural view, where the conceptual models focus on the interactions of components and the structural models are featured by layers with processes. Based on the model classification, the paper further evaluates the models by service structure, interoperability, multi-contextuality and adaptability. The evaluation results can be used to compare, select and improve the smart city models and service design. Based on the results, we propose a new model for designing smart services.
