Implementation of Service Platform For Smart City As A Service

An ecosystem of digital services requires a service platform to facilitate a dynamic service introduction. As a system of systems and a service-oriented system, Smart City has key characteristics of a service ecosystem. However, a service platform has unique characteristics to become a service platform for the implementation of Smart City. On the other hand, an implementation of a service platform for a Smart City must depart from a proven service platform concept conforming to the characteristics of a Smart City Architecture. This paper elaborates an initial process of a service platform implementation with Smart City characteristics. This initial study takes its form as a descriptive study from a systematic literature review employing a Design Research Methodology (DRM) approach. This paper provides an overview of an application of service platforms concept in the digital service ecosystem and service computing systems to fulfill the need of a Smart City Architecture characteristics.
