| Abstract |
As a city becomes smarter, the integrated networks of engineered cyber and physical elements provide the capability to greatly improve the quality of life of its citizens. In order to leverage these capabilities to benefit all classes of society, we propose a framework that balances the supply and demand of available resources while maximizing the social welfare of people-in-need by utilizing cyberphysical infrastructure in smart cities. We show through numerical simulations that our proposed framework can reduce the amount of resources wasted by 25% through intelligently assigning the location of services and dynamically pairing resources to different homeless populations. |
