Abstract
In the transformation from traditional to smart cities, there is an increasing trend around the world towards intelligent dynamic infrastructures that provide citizens with new services that can improve their quality of life and fulfill the criteria of energy efficiency and sustainability. In the light of this, an important challenge is how to enable citizens and cities to promote the sensing of data with regard to a number of different factors. This paper outlines the early stages of our research which is concerned with an ubiquitous service-oriented architecture for urban sensing called UrboSenti. The proposed approach differs from other sensing plat-forms since it provides a set of services to collect data from several sources and assists in the development of new sensing applications. In addition, our model encompasses all the sensing activities, ranging from the collection of data to the generation of reports about events in the city.
