چکیده

We introduce the concept of City Service Ecosystem (CSE) as digital environment for the governance of urban services. We trace the research challenges and opportunities of adding semantics to improve the management of such ecosystems, especially in relation to description and retrieval of urban-related Web services. We explain the peculiarities and distinct characteristics of CSEs resulting from their relation to the city space and we introduce our current work to enhance with semantics an existing CSE in the city of Milano, in relation to the forthcoming World Exposition (EXPO 2015).

Biomimetic Urban Design: Ecosystem Service Provision of Water and Energy

This paper presents an ecosystem biomimicry methodology for urban design called ecosystem service analysis. Ecosystem services analysis can provide quantifiable goals for urban ecological regeneration that are determined by site specific ecology and climate of an urban area. This is important given the large negative environmental impact that most cities currently have on ecosystems. If cities ...
