Composite Indicators for Smart Campus: Data Analysis Method

Il concetto di Smart Campus ha iniziato a svilupparsi negli ultimi anni come possibile adattamento del modello di città intelligente ai campus universitari. La trasformazione di un campus standard in uno Smart Campus richiede lo sviluppo di un quadro di valutazione che consenta di valutare lo stato dell'arte mediante indicatori compositi. Applicando una nuova metodologia, lo scopo di questo progetto è definire un insieme globale di indicatori.

Planning smart cities. Comparison of two quantitative multicriteria methods applied to real case studies

Today, cities are facing many challenges such as pollution, resource consumption, gas emissions and social inequality. Many future city views have been developed to solve these issues such as the Smart City model. In literature several methods have been proposed to plan a Smart city, but, at the best of the authors’ knowledge, only a few of them have been really applied to the urban context. Most of them are indeed theoretical and qualitative approaches, providing scenarios that have not been applied to real cities/districts.

Walking in a smart city: Investigating the gait stabilization effect for biometric recognition via wearable sensors

Technology is expected to enhance life in a Smart City: everything is intelligent, digital, interconnected, and inclusive. In addition, all everyday activities are facilitated. This paper presents a biometric authentication strategy based on gait dynamics. The produced signals are acquired by the common mobile device accelerometers (especially those embedded in smartphones). The user has nothing to do but normally approach a controlled entry: authentication is automatically triggered by ambient elements (beacons).

(Smart) City and the (Open) Data. A critical approach to a platform-driven urban citizenship

This paper represents a first attempt to reconstruct a theoretical map of the relation between technology (digital media) and citizenship. We start from the reconstruction of the role of citizens in the smart city paradigm and then face the challenge that the so-called Big Techs move to the ideal of an engaged “smart community” by promoting an individual relationship between users/citizens and digital platforms.
