AB  - Many solutions to the problems confronting cities involve the integration ofsystems of systems. The complexity of integrating diverse systems requires approachesthat are adaptive and collaborative. This paper argues that these approaches can valuablydraw on a range of emerging technologies, such as virtual representations, using themassive increase in available data from ubiquitous instrumentation. It contends that theinterrelations in cities between different systems can be better explored, and decisionsimproved, through using this technology. A brief case study of some elements of IBM’sSmarter Cities strategy, based on instrumentation, interconnection, and intelligence ispresented. The company’s Emergency Response System in Rio de Janeiro is provided asan example of the role technology can play in developing an integrated system ofsystems. This exploratory paper concludes that the new innovation technologies can contributeto effective approaches for dealing with emerging challenges in cities.
