Abstract The rapid growth of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies has transformed modern urban environments into complex smart cities, generating vast amounts of high-dimensional, heterogeneous data. Effectively analyzing this data is crucial for optimizing urban infrastructure, enhancing quality of life, and supporting sustainable development. However, smart city data presents significant challenges, including non-linear dependencies, noisy signals, and high dimensionality. To address these challenges, this study proposes the Dynamic Leader Sibha Algorithm (DLSA), a novel metaheuristic optimization technique inspired by the structured counting dynamics of the Sibha. The DLSA was applied to the Smart Cities Index dataset,… More >
