Abstract—Recently, various Internet of Things (IoT) services have been considered for implementation for facilitating smart cities. For instance, a horizontal approach has been explored to reduce equipment and operational costs. A City Operating System (OS) is one scheme for achieving this approach. The advantages of a City OS include the independence between connected end systems and services, and the ability to share collected data among multiple services. Currently, some City OS are generally implemented in a centralized configuration (e.g., cloud based configuration). However, there are also services that require data only in closed areas with low latency. In this study, an architecture that enables the coexistence of closed base data and wide-area base data, according to the type of service is proposed. Specifically, authors propose a gateway that incorporates with a City OS and also an operational mechanism that includes a function for sorting data from end systems to both local and global platforms. This proposal contributes to facilitating the realization of smart cities in which various services are layered.
