A framework for elderly support in smart cities

Our work describes a Smart Home Framework to be used in Smart Cities. In our days, the rapid growth rate of the elderly population makes it necessary to find smart solutions in order to extend the safe home stay of the individual as much as can be. Our framework allows city designers and developers to focus on building the unique features for the Smart City, improving the simplicity of sensors and application placement in the Smart Home, load-balancing the requests' load between similar operators, reacting quickly to the user needs and creating a greener Smart City.
