The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has played a key role in coordinating smart grid standards and is now taking on a facilitating role for smart cities. NIST is leading an international public effort to develop a consensus framework of common architectural features to enable smart city solutions that meet the needs of modern communities. Partners in the initiative include the American standards body ANSI, the US Green Building Council, the European standards institute ETSI, South Korea’s Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning, the Telecommunications Industry Association, the Italian energy and innovation agency ENEA and the FIWARE initiative.
The initiative plans to draw on the lesson learnt from pioneer smart city implementations to distil a composable smart city framework, with integration and improvement gained through harmonising existing functions, as opposed to wholesale replacement or retrofitting.
