Abstract

Since the modern city dwellers are highly adapting the cutting edge technologies to assuage their daily life problems as well as to optimize the management of city administration more efficaciously, collectively known as smart cities, which have copious amounts of misinformation escalated by the social media along with the IoT end-nodes tempered by human or errors in the process leads to a hostile a Cyber-Physical-Social System. Inevitably misinformation detection has been a very prominent research domain many researchers have already stepped into as it is clearly prophetic of creating chaos in city life. In the chapter, we provide cursory details about misinformation and its proliferating ways. Then, we present the impact of the misinformation in a smart city context. Afterward, we dive deeper into the detection techniques, which cover earlier analyses of state-of-the-art research.
