BOOK EXCERPT:
This book provides insights on skills required to achieve success in smart cities from a variety of industry and human factors perspectives. It emphasizes the balance between learning skills, technical skills, and domain-specific skills in these industries, with special emphasis given to innovative software development models. The authors note that digital transformation requires complementary measures that are not overtly aimed to support infrastructure investment but are instead directed at promoting entrepreneurship, improving digital skills, engaging citizens, applying new transformation strategies, and developing innovative software. All of the above are considered strategically important, especially for medium-sized cities since that enable them to be more competitive in the global economy.

BOOK EXCERPT:
This comprehensive companion surveys intelligent design thinking in architecture and urbanism, investigates multiple facets of "smart" approaches to design thinking that augment the potentials of user experiences as well as his/her physical and mental interactions with the built environment. Split into six paradigms, this volume looks at the theoretical and historical background of smart design, smart design methodologies and typologies, smart materials, smart design for extreme weather and climatic regions, as well as climate change issues and side effects, smart mobility, and the role of digital technologies and simulations in architectural and urban design. Often at odds with each other, this volume places emphasis on smart design for various typologies and user groups, emphasizing on advancements in form-making and implementation of technology for healthy and sustainable living environments. Written by emerging and established architects, planners, designers, scientists, and engineers from around the globe, this will be an essential reference volume for architecture and urban design students and scholars as well as those in related fields interested in the implications, various facets and futures of smart design.

BOOK EXCERPT:
This book combines two main topics applied to cities and societies: innovation and sustainability. The book begins by showing a brief overview of the book's main topics; then, the book addresses four main areas which allow our communities to be more attractive, engaging and fun; analytical, descriptive and predictive; healthy, secure and sustainable; and innovative, connected and monitored. This book represents a union of inputs from researchers and practitioners where each chapter has distinct, valuable and practical contributions that turn it unique. The content ranges from theoretical, like studies or analyses to practical, like industrial solutions or engaging systems. Both branches focus on turning our society more attractive, intelligent, inclusive, sustainable, and ready for the future.

BOOK EXCERPT:
This book offers the latest research results and predictions in data protection with a special focus on post-pandemic society. This book also includes various case studies and applications on data protection. It includes the Internet of Things (IoT), smart cities, federated learning, Metaverse, cryptography and cybersecurity. Data protection has burst onto the computer security scene due to the increased interest in securing personal data. Data protection is a key aspect of information security where personal and business data need to be protected from unauthorized access and modification. The stolen personal information has been used for many purposes such as ransom, bullying and identity theft. Due to the wider usage of the Internet and social media applications, people make themselves vulnerable by sharing personal data. This book discusses the challenges associated with personal data protection prior, during and post COVID-19 pandemic. Some of these challenges are caused by the technological advancements (e.g. Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML) and ChatGPT). In order to preserve the privacy of the data involved, there are novel techniques such as zero knowledge proof, fully homomorphic encryption, multi-party computations are being deployed. The tension between data privacy and data utility drive innovation in this area where numerous start-ups around the world have started receiving funding from government agencies and venture capitalists. This fuels the adoption of privacy-preserving data computation techniques in real application and the field is rapidly evolving. Researchers and students studying/working in data protection and related security fields will find this book useful as a reference.

BOOK EXCERPT:
This book presents recent research on interactive collaborative learning. We are currently witnessing a significant transformation in the development of education and especially post-secondary education. To face these challenges, higher education has to find innovative ways to quickly respond to these new needs. On the one hand, there is a pressure by the new situation in regard to the COVID pandemic. On the other hand, the methods and organizational forms of teaching and learning at higher educational institutions have changed rapidly in recent months. Scientifically based statements as well as excellent experiences (best practice) are absolutely necessary. These were the aims connected with the 24th International Conference on Interactive Collaborative Learning (ICL2021), which was held online by Technische Universität Dresden, Germany, on 22–24 September 2021. Since its beginning in 1998, this conference is devoted to new approaches in learning with a focus on collaborative learning in Higher Education. Nowadays, the ICL conferences are a forum of the exchange of relevant trends and research results as well as the presentation of practical experiences in Learning and Engineering Pedagogy. In this way, we try to bridge the gap between ‘pure’ scientific research and the everyday work of educators. This book contains papers in the fields of Teaching Best Practices Research in Engineering Pedagogy Engineering Pedagogy Education Entrepreneurship in Engineering Education Project-Based Learning Virtual and Augmented Learning Immersive Learning in Healthcare and Medical Education. Interested readership includes policymakers, academics, educators, researchers in pedagogy and learning theory, schoolteachers, learning industry, further and continuing education lecturers, etc

This book adopts the managerial perspective to the study of smart cities. As such, this book is a necessary addition to the existing body of literature on smart cities. The chapters included in this book prove the case that transformation of cities to smart cities is a function of effective and efficient management practices implemented at diverse levels of smart cities. While advances in information and communication technology (ICT) are crucial, it is the ability to apply ICT consciously and efficiently that drives the transformation of cities to smart cities in a manner conducive to cities’ sustainability and resilience. The book covers three sets of interconnected topics: Management and decision-making for urban design and infrastructure development Management and decision-making in context of smart cities development Ways of promoting and ensuring participation, representation and co-creation in smart cities These three groups of topics offer a great opportunity to acquire a clear, direct, and practice-driven knowledge and understanding of how effective management allows ICT-enhanced tools and applications to change smart cities, possibly making them smarter.
