abstract = {This study presents a real-time framework designed to enhance emergency response effectiveness, initially applied in firefighting contexts but potentially generalizable to other emergency scenarios. Integrating advanced sensors with a comprehensive mathematical framework significantly enhances immediate situational awareness and substantially improves operational decision-making. Deployed and tested at Fire Station 9 in Chamartín, the system utilizes strategically placed sensors with variable transmission rates to simulate diverse emergency scenarios. The core achievement of this research is the demonstration of the framework’s capacity to provide real-time predictions, enabling emergency responders to act swiftly and accurately in dynamic situations. The results highlight the significant potential of real-time data analytics in revolutionizing emergency response strategies, offering a path towards safer and more efficient firefighting operations.},

abstract = {We present new approaches for determining occupancy in smart building management systems. The solutions can be applied dually, in civil and military areas, not only for economic management but also in crisis situations when it is necessary to ensure the safety or rescue of citizens. Examining the occupancy of university workplaces can lead to future improvements in safety and energy consumption. In addition to common PIR-based motion methods, our implementation uses communication between mobile devices and infrastructure in the form of probe requests from Wi-Fi packets. The data are captured using sniffers based on ESP32 microcontrollers, then processed using Python. Thanks to this, the total number of people (respectively mobile devices) in the building can be estimated. The achieved RMSE estimation error was evaluated for minimal, small, and medium-sized room scenarios, respectively. Aspects of the use of smart building technologies are also considered in detail from the military point of view.},

abstract = {Smart cities incorporate a variety of technologies into the urban fabric and provide services based on these technologies, different types of data, and its analysis. How these technologies, services, data, and analyses are designed and governed has far-reaching implications for how a smart city operates and how its citizens experience it. Proprietary technologies, opaque analyses, and closed data can have a negative impact on acceptance, inclusion, sovereignty, and innovation. Conversely, opening up data and analysis as well as facilitating easy access and interoperability have the potential to positively affect these factors. In this chapter, the concept of openness in the context of smart cities is introduced. The concept describes on multiple levels how open (or closed) a city is. Openness in smart cities incorporates three key dimensions – transparency, participation, and collaboration – which affect various domains such as data processing or service provision. Using examples from ongoing and previous research, this chapter also discusses how to realize openness in practice and what benefits and drawbacks can result from different degrees of openness. Based on these considerations, a number of key issues are highlighted that are important to take into account in the design of smart cities and in the transformation process towards a sustainable, smart, and open city.},

abstract = {The purpose of this article is to evaluate the main drivers of the sharing economy through an exhaustive weighting and meta-analysis of previous relevant quantitative research articles, obtained using a systematic literature review methodology. The authors analysed 22 quantitative studies from 2008 through. Out of the 249 extracted relationships (independent – dependent variable), the paper identifies the “best” predictors used in theoretical models to study the sharing economy. These include: attitude on intention to share, perceived behavioural control on intention to share, subjective norm on intention to share, economic benefit on attitude, and perceived risk on attitude. Geographically, Germany and the United States of America were found to be the nations with the highest number of respondents. Temporally, an increasing trend in the number of articles on the sharing economy and respondents was observed. The consolidation of the drivers of the sharing economy provides a solid theoretical foundation for the research community to explore existing hypotheses further and test new hypotheses in emerging contexts of the sharing economy. Given the different conceptual theories that have been used to study the sharing economy and their application to different contexts, this study presents the first attempt at advancing knowledge by quantitatively synthesizing findings presented in previous literature},

This paper covers the revision of the studies related to air pollution prediction using machine learning algorithms based on sensor data in the context of smart cities. Using the most popular databases and executing the corresponding filtration, the most relevant papers were selected. After thorough reviewing those papers, the main features were extracted, which served as a base to link and compare them to each other. As a result, we can conclude that: (1) instead of using simple machine learning techniques, currently, the authors apply advanced and sophisticated techniques, (2) China was the leading country in terms of a case study, (3) Particulate matter with diameter equal to 2.5 micrometers was the main prediction target, (4) in 41% of the publications the authors carried out the prediction for the next day, (5) 66% of the studies used data had an hourly rate, (6) 49% of the papers used open data and since 2016 it had a tendency to increase, and (7) for efficient air quality prediction it is important to consider the external factors such as weather conditions, spatial characteristics, and temporal features},

Using Principal Component Analysis (PCA), six ICT-related variables from European Union (EU) cities were combined into a single twodimensional ICT index. Then, through cluster analysis, cities were clustered into four groups based on the ICT index and Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Using ICT as an indicator of smartness and CO2 emissions as an indicator of sustainability,
we show that it is possible for a city to be smart but not sustainable and vice versa.

abstract = {There has recently been a conscious push for cities in Europe to be smarter and more sustainable, leading to the need to benchmark these cities’ efforts using robust assessment frameworks. This paper ranks 28 European capital cities based on how smart and sustainable they are. Using hierarchical clustering and principal component analysis (PCA), we synthesized 32 indicators into 4 components and computed rank scores. The ranking of European capital cities was based on this rank score. Our results show that Berlin and other Nordic capital cities lead the ranking, while Sofia and Bucharest obtained the lowest rank scores, and are thus not yet on the path of being smart and sustainable. While our city rank scores show little correlation with city size and city population, there is a significant positive correlation with the cities’ GDP per inhabitant, which is an indicator for wealth. Lastly, we detect a geographical divide: 12 of the top 14 cities are Western European; 11 of the bottom 14 cities are Eastern European. These results will help cities understand where they stand vis-à-vis other cities, giving policy makers an opportunity to identify areas for improvement while leveraging areas of strength.},

To provide ambient intelligence smart cities rely on ubiquitous and context-aware computing. Given the ubiquity of computing devices, the ability to connect objects and people into a smart context-aware system is one contemporary challenge. Our early research proposed a novel approach for dynamic integration of devices into a system with context-aware behavior inspired by concepts used in role theory. The idea behind our model is to embed the predefined internal structure of a system given the context into a mobile device to allow it owing a certain role in that system. The objective of the present paper is to prepare the ground for further prototyping of the model. We present ontology-based use-case scenarios utilizing the model to demonstrate the capabilities of the model.},

abstract = {The race to achieve smart cities is producing a continuous effort to adapt new developments and knowledge, for administrations and citizens. Information and Communications Technology are called on to be one of the key players to get these cities to use smart devices and sensors (Internet of Things) to know at every moment what is happening within the city, in order to make decisions that will improve the management of resources. The proliferation of these “smart things” is producing significant deployment of networks in the city context. Most of these devices are proprietary solutions, which do not offer free access to the data they provide. Therefore, this prevents the interoperability and compatibility of these solutions in the current smart city developments.
This paper presents how to embed an open sensorized platform for both hardware and software in the context of a smart city, more specifically in a university campus. For this integration, GIScience comes into play, where it offers different open standards that allow full control over “smart things” as an agile and interoperable way to achieve this. To test our system, we have deployed a network of different sensorized platforms inside the university campus, in order to monitor environmental phenomena.},

abstract = {The holy grail of smart cities is an integrated, sustainable approach to improve the efficiency of the city's operations and the quality of life of citizens. At the heart of this vision is the citizen, who is the primary beneficiary of smart city initiatives, either directly or indirectly. Despite the recent surge of research and smart cities initiatives in practice, there are still a number of challenges to overcome in realizing this vision. This position paper points out six citizen-related challenges: the engagement of citizens, the improvement of citizens' data literacy, the pairing of quantitative and qualitative data, the need for open standards, the development of personal services, and the development of persuasive interfaces. The article furthermore advocates the use of methods and techniques from GIScience to tackle these challenges, and presents the concept of an Open City Toolkit as a way of transferring insights and solutions from GIScience to smart cities.},

abstract = {The existing parking simulations, as most simulations, are intended to gain insights of a system or to make predictions. The knowledge they have provided has built up over the years, and several research works have devised detailed parking system models. This thesis work describes the use of an agent-based parking simulation in the context of a bigger parking system development. It focuses more on flexibility than on fidelity, showing the case where it is relevant for a parking simulation to consume dynamically changing GIS data from external, online sources and how to address this case. The simulation generates the parking occupancy information that sensing technologies should eventually produce and supplies it to the bigger parking system. It is built as a Java application based on the MASON toolkit and consumes GIS data from an ArcGis Server. The application context of the implemented parking simulation is a university campus with free, on-street parking places },

abstract = {The ubiquitous nature of mobile devices and its growing presence in urban areas, turn them up into low cost environmental monitoring platforms. In this field, several authors made different efforts to provide alternatives to Sensor Networks, to assess noise pollution in cities using crowdsourcing techniques. In this sense, citizens might potentially produce large spatio-temporal datasets using their mobile devices to measure noise levels. There are few attempts of assessing the quality of the mobile noise samples on a real scenario and compare them to commercial data to evaluate if they are reliable enough. This contribution reviews the existing applications to collect or assess the quality of noise samples when they are used as sound level meters. Moreover, it presents the results of our experiment: the volunteer noise dataset generated in a ‘mapping party' on our campus is compared to professional data. Results show that VGI data might be sufficient for multiple daily situations.},
