They are the main battlefields of novel urbanization and smart city construction. S&amp;M cities generally have problems such as backward information infrastructure, large differences in service demand, and low resources for IT infrastructure, which limit the deployment and application of traditional smart city systems and technologies. Their smart city construction faces challenging problems: (1) sparsity and bias of perceived data, (2) diverse and complex cognitive scenarios, (3) and limited and inefficient system resources. To copy with the problems, this project systematically studies the whole process of smart city technologies from data perception, knowledge fusion, dynamic cognition, to computing. It is expected to form a set of theoretical methods and technical tools, and build up an open city brain platform of high performance, low energy consumption, and low management cost. The systems and tools will be demonstrated in a number of S&amp;M cities.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt;color: #800000\">Please refer to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fst.um.edu.mo\/personal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/SmartyCity-summary.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Data Intelligence for Smart City<\/a> for final report about the project.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-810\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fst.um.edu.mo\/personal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/FC-UPS.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"485\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fst.um.edu.mo\/personal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/FC-UPS.jpg 1476w, https:\/\/www.fst.um.edu.mo\/personal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/FC-UPS-300x124.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fst.um.edu.mo\/personal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/FC-UPS-1024x422.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.fst.um.edu.mo\/personal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/FC-UPS-768x316.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fst.um.edu.mo\/personal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/FC-UPS-1200x494.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 485px) 100vw, 485px\" \/><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Cooperation Partners:<\/span><\/p><ul><li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">\u963f\u88e1\u96f2, <\/span><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">\u6fb3\u9580\u5927\u5b78,\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">\u5317\u4eac\u822a\u7a7a\u822a\u5929\u5927\u5b66\uff0c<\/span><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">\u83ef\u5357\u7406\u5de5\u5927\u5b78\uff0c <\/span><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">\u4e2d\u79d1\u9662\u6df1\u5733\u5148\u9032\u6280\u8853\u7814\u7a76\u9662\uff0c <\/span><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">\u6d59\u6c5f\u4e4b\u6c5f\u5be6\u9a57\u5ba4\uff0c <\/span><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">\u676d\u5dde\u96fb\u5b50\u5927\u5b78\uff0c <\/span><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">\u9ad8\u5fb7\u5730\u5716\uff0c <\/span><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">\u4e2d\u570b\u57ce\u5e02\u898f\u5283\u8a2d\u8a08\u7814\u7a76\u9662\uff0c <\/span>\u4e2d\u666f\u6052\u57fa\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-9762\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-9762\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-angle-double-down\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-angle-double-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">MoCAD: Macao Connected Autonomous Driving, funded by FDCT of Macau (2020-2023)<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-9762\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-9762\"><ul style=\"list-style-type: circle\"><li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">Principal Investigator: Chengzhong Xu, University of Macau<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">Funded by FDCT under grant 0015\/2019\/AKP, the Foundation of Science and Technology,\u00a0 Macao SAR<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">Period: Jan 2020 to Jan 2023<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">Amount: 12 million\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">Autonomous driving has become an emerging disruptive technology with big impact on our life, economy, and society.

Its underlying datacenters have been a national key infrastructure, which largely determine the competitiveness of digital economy. Current cloud datacenters need to deal with three fundamental issues: ultra large system scale with hundreds of thousands of servers, heterogeneous resource configuration due to iterative upgrade of software and hardware, and open application scenarios with various types and characteristics. Cloud computing businesses like Alibaba faces more challenges in the provisioning of micro-second response time in highly concurrent application scenarios. This project aims to explore the opportunity of software-defined datacenter architecture and develop intelligent management and control systems for cloud datacenters by a full stack design from underlying architectures to applications. It endeavors to resolve the conflicts between cloud user experience and datacenter resource utilization with a pilot demonstration in Alibaba Cloud.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: arial,

Xu et al. reported their experience with model-free and model-based RL policies, and with various strategies for state space definitions and reward functions. Their work could be applied for container orchestration, as well. \u00a0Additional factors like fine granularity, flexibility, startup cost, and implications on microservices need to be considered.<\/span><\/p><ol><li><em><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 10pt\">\u00a0VCONF: a reinforcement learning approach to virtual machines auto-configuration.
