Acoustic Cover of Damien Rice's The Greatest Bastard

Smart Cit­ies make use of ICT tech­no­logy to ad­dress the chal­lenges of mod­ern urban man­age­ment. The cloud provides an ef­fi­cient and cost-ef­fect­ive plat­form on which they can man­age, store and pro­cess data, as well as build ap­plic­a­tions per­form­ing com­plex com­pu­ta­tions and ana­lyses. The quickly chan­ging re­quire­ments in a Smart City re­quire flex­ible soft­ware ar­chi­tec­tures that let these ap­plic­a­tions scale in a dis­trib­uted en­vir­on­ment. Smart Cit­ies have to deal with huge amounts of data in­clud­ing sens­it­ive in­form­a­tion about in­fra­struc­ture and cit­izens. In or­der to lever­age the be­ne­fits of the cloud, in par­tic­u­lar in terms of scalab­il­ity and cost-ef­fect­ive­ness, this data should be stored in a pub­lic cloud. However, in such an en­vir­on­ment, sens­it­ive data needs to be en­cryp­ted to pre­vent un­au­thor­ized ac­cess.

Here’s one of the songs I usu­ally play with my band Re­jec­ted Pa­pers. ‘Black Sun’ is def­in­itely one of my fa­vour­ite pieces by Death Cab For Cu­tie. Have fun watch­ing and en­joy the rest of the year! 😊
