The novel networking paradigm of the Internet of Things (IoT) represents a promising solution to address the challenges facing modern societies. All-pervading smart technologies in the IoT paradigm have facilitated collection of gigantic amounts of personal and organisational data. Effective management of smart city data is critical in providing smart applications to end users in a reliable and secure manner. Semantic computing provides a range of technologies that can aptly address big data concerns of smart city. In this paper we propose a smart city architecture that harnesses the power of semantic computing to realise the smart city vision.

Emerging Internet of Things represents a paradigm shift in our understanding of modern communication networks. The basic premise is to have smart sensors collaborate directly without human involvement to deliver a new class of applications having far reaching consequences for all aspects of human life. In particular Internet of Things revolution is transforming the modern connected healthcare. However, ubiquitous nature and increased autonomy of the IoT devices raise serious concerns about the ethical complicity of connected smart healthcare applications. In this paper we present a novel method to incorporate ethics in IoT driven connected smart healthcare so that the services provided do not unwittingly infringe on the ethical rights of its beneficiaries.
