	abstract = {<p>$\#$SmartME has been one of the first initiatives in Italy to realize a Smart City through the use of open technologies. Thanks to the use of low cost sensor-powered devices scattered over the city area, different {\textquotedblleft}smart{\textquotedblright} services have been deployed having the Stack4Things framework as the common underlying middleware.\&nbsp;In this paper, we present the results obtained after 2 years of project highlighting the vertical solutions that have been proposed in different areas ranging from environmental monitoring to parking management.</p>

	abstract = {<p>Some words mark an era, and "Smart City" is definitely one of these. A Smart City is an urban area where the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are employed to improve citizens{\textquoteright} Quality of Life (QoL) in areas such as: mobility, urban surveillance, and energy management. Throughout this paper, we present the $\#$SmartME project, which aims to create an infrastructure and an ecosystem of "smart" services by exploiting existing devices, sensors, and actuators distributed in the city of Messina. We also present the Stack4Things framework, which is the management core of the $\#$SmartME project.</p>
