An Emerging US (and World) Threat: Cities Wide Open to Cyber Attacks
- Smart Cities as a system is subdividing, such as more sensors in different places and undertake different responsibilities. For more efficiency and more accuracy, this kind of subdividing will be continue. However, the whole system will be more weak when there are too much subdividing. One subsystem crash may lead whole failure of system.
How could we make the stableness of system better in the processing of subdividing?

“Main building systems are run on the Windows XP operating system, which is old, outdated, not supported and less secure than new operating systems….”
It is a common issue in our life, the update of software and hardware is not synchro. For cities, it is a slow speed for its development but the upgrade of Cyber things is much faster.
Which is better for a Smart City’s growth, make cities change faster or make software suit cities slower?Also, nowadays, lots of companies for their own benefits, do the “Planned Obsolescence”. If the PO will be used in building a smart city, there will be lots profit, and also lots of cost. Companies want the highest profit and the citizens want the lowest cost.
How to deal with this kind of condition?
