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.Department

Handover performance evaluation of centralized and distributed network-based mobility management in vehicular urban environmentBalfaqih, Mohammed; Ismail, M; Nordin, R; balfagih, zain; External Collaboration; Artificial Intelligence & Cyber Security Lab; Computer Science; Balfaqih, Mohammed (IEEE, 2017-05-08)The demand for real-time applications such as short video clips of CCTVs on a roadway, raises the need of for seamless and ubiquitous Internet connectivity in vehicular networks. Wireless Access in Vehicular Environment (WAVE) architecture defines the IPv6 mobility protocols to be deployed in network layer. However, the Current IP mobility management protocols, including Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6), employ a centralized and single anchor to register MU's location information and establish communication which causes excessive burden on that central anchor. Recently, Distributed Mobility Management (DMM) based on PMIPv6 has been introduced to overcome these problems. In this paper, we investigate the vehicle velocity effect in urban environment where a map within the city of Bangi is taken. We compare the handover performance of network-based DMM with PMIPv6 in aspects of handover latency, session recovery, packet loss and throughput. The results show that network-based DMM outperforms PMIPv6 slightly.

Higher education institutions and the global digital transformation: beyond the question of which skills for the 21st centuryVisvizi, Anna; Kozłowski, Krzysztof; Nawaz, Raheel; External Collaboration; NA; 0; 0; Entrepreneurship; 0; Visvizi, Anna (Routledge, 2023-09-22)The objective of this chapter is to collect the key takeaways of the chapters included in this book and to employ these takeaways in a discussion on HEIs (including the challenges they face and the responses to these that they generate) in times of the global digital transformation. What are the key challenges HEIs face? How to address these challenges? Which business models to implement? How to prepare students for successful careers? How to use the talent and intellectual capital pertaining to HEIs to allow HEIs to enlighten the society?

Integrating Healthcare Processes Through Supply Chain PrinciplesAlmaktoom, Abdulaziz; Altabsh, Mariam; Supply Chain ManagementHealthcare supply chain has increasingly attracted the attention of scholars, researchers, government officials, and clinicians as one of the primary strategies in their efforts to reduce healthcare costs while improving quality. Supply chain management is the coordination and collaboration of supply chain participants as a means to achieve system efficiency. The healthcare supply chain is one of these complex systems, with numerous players involved. This study is designed to answer the following questions: How significant is supply chain management to the healthcare sector? Are hospitals in Saudi Arabia properly implementing supply chain principles, techniques, and tools? The theories addressed contribute to a better understanding of supply chain management in hospitals. A case study was conducted at the International Medical Center in Jeddah to understand exactly how hospitals in Saudi Arabia are implementing supply chain management.
