Although various methods of procedurally generating cities have been proposed in recent years, the problem remains that a user desiring a city from a particular time period or country would have to make time-consuming modifications to an already existing engine to achieve acceptable results. This paper proposes a set of programmable elements that can be adjusted to accommodate for buildings fro...

South African communities are constantly being developed through new ICT projects which are initiated by individuals, government and private organisations. The problem with these developments is that they are implemented in isolation. This isolation causes limited sharing of resources, duplication, poor-governance of the resources and in worse-case scenarios, failure of project initiatives. Thi...

n root of a Lie algebra and its dual (that is fractional supergroup ) based on the permutation group Sn invariant forms is formulated in the Hopf algebra formalism. Detailed discussion of S3-graded sl(2) algebras is done.

Technopark is a union of companies called residents that implement innovation activities. Development of the competence management system for technoparks is currently a relevant task. Such system allows automating the process of resident’s search that can satisfy potential customer tasks. The paper presents a smart space-based approach for competence management system development and implementa...

This paper presents the problem of the current separate treatment of levels of detail in city models. We propose a solution, detail the main principles, and present our initial results on the approach. We conclude with work in progress and explain the benefits of our approach.

Urban Automation Networks (UANs) are being deployed worldwide in order to enable Smart City applications. Given the crucial role of UANs, as well as their diversity, it is critically important to assess their properties and trade-offs. This article introduces the requirements and challenges for UANs, characterizes the main current and emerging UAN paradigms, provides guidelines for their design...

We introduce the h-deformation of the algebra of functions on the grass-mann supergroup Gr(1|1) via a contraction of Gr q (1|1).
