The paper unpacks the notion of “replication” within European Innovation Partnership on Smart Cities and Communities from two perspectives: first focuses rationale replication as laid out in mission statement integral to its vision a smart city market interrogates term borrowed laboratory science. second turns practice explores how work, rather than providing standardized technological solution...

This paper studies participation divides on civic crowdsourcing platforms in a smart city context, hybrid applications of distributed urban innovation management, and new modes digital citizenship, often applied to co-shape future environments. However, the emergence participatory instruments also brings inequalities, as their adoption is not equally. Hence, from an explicitly interdisciplinary...

Internet of Things (IoT) has become a promising technology for addressing societal challenges by connecting smart devices and enabling big data analytics creating smart cities worldwide. As the IoT scales up, it is important to provide interoperability of different devices. We highlight that simply standard protocols are not sufficient for openness and interoperability. IoT for smart cities nee...

Cities stand at the confluence of two global grand challenges—urbanization and climate change. Smart city initiatives around the global seek to leverage information technology to preserve and improve quality of urban life in face of these challenges. Given its vast experience with socio-technical systems, the IS discipline can assume a leading role on this path towards a more sustainable way of...

The term Smart City is tipically applied to urban and metropolitan areas where Information and Communication Technologies provide ways to enable social, cultural and urban development, improving social and political capacities and/or efficiency. In this paper we will show the potential of Artificial Intelligence techniques for augmenting ICT solutions to both increase the cities competiveness b...

In a moment of high expectations and accolades about " smart cities " initiatives around the world, the collection of definitions, concepts, studies and methodologies provided by the book entitled " Smart City. How to Create Public and Economic Value with High Technology in Urban Space " is a welcomed effort to clarify a structure of a complex ideal of a mega project like smart city. This edite...

In this work we show how a simple model based on chemical signaling can reduce the exploration times in urban environments. The problem is relevant for smart city navigation where electric vehicles try to find recharging stations with unknown locations. To this end we have adapted the classical ant foraging swarm algorithm to urban morphologies. A perturbed Markov chain model is shown to qualit...

Smart city means an intelligent city called post-ubiquitous city. However, to be a smart city, there are some issues to consider carefully. The first is the security issues having platform and intelligent surveillance function and analysis function as well as inference. The second is the governance issues between government and cities which are developing. And the third is the service issues to...
