Designing a smart city in Kuwait: an initial study

This paper will discuss different humanity and environmental problems that face the Kuwait city, such problems are slowing down the wheel of development in the country. Much of these problems and challenges can be solved by building a smart infrastructure based on wireless sensor network (WSN) that...
