Abstract
This paper proposes an innovative solution for city administrators to provide 'intelligent' services to citizens and visitors exploiting Cloud computing and frequency identification technologies. Using the EPIC platform, cities can become 'smart' by extending their applications with a new set of technical, functional and business capabilities based on the particular requirements of each city and the needs of end users for applications. The applications deployed on EPIC will take the advantage of the platform services for scalability, sustainability and low operational cost becoming available to a pan-European (and possible worldwide) market. In addition, the EPIC Roadmap will simplify the process of extending existing applications or developing new 'smart' services for cities and leverage the involvement of enterprises and SME creating new business models and value networks.
