The digitisation of public sector ICT is driven by a number of factors: Increased self- service via the Internet, the Internet of Things (IoT), real-time business intelligence  and the advent of integrated information systems as the “backbone” of  organisational ICT. This is accentuated by the Covid-19 pandemic. The paper  presents an implemented university level teaching programme that covers the  topics of integrated information systems for the environment described above. The  paper also deals with the research question of how to embed such a programme in a conventional, public sector-oriented university course  programme. It details the didactic specificities and analyses the feedback from the  roll out and the prior knowledge required from students and the changes in other  elements of a public administration course programme necessitated by digitisation  orientation. It finally summarises the experience made and illustrates  the necessity for further research.

Digitalization of the public sector is being driven by a number of factors. In particular, the concept of "Smart Cities" has become an important driver of this development. This relies heavily on an intelligent infrastructure including the Internet of Things (IoT). But does it make sense for small and medium-sized municipalities to develop this? Is it justified to invest in IoT? (How) can a mediumsized city benefit from it? This paper presents the application of an evaluation scheme for business models of urban IoT applications to answer these questions. The research question focuses on how best practices of urban IoT applications in general and in particular can be evaluated. In order to establish a concrete practical reference we evaluated ten chosen IoT applications for the German city of Herrenberg.

In this article we focus on identifying the specificity of digital transformation within the public sector. The aim of the article is to present the main mechanisms resulting from the introduction of digital innovations that have changed the functioning of the public sector. Starting from a discussion on the technological requirements of digital transformation, we briefly characterise the use of computers and the Internet in public administration, resulting in the development of e-services and administration. The main part of the article is devoted to discussing the specificity of the implementation of the new digital technologies in public administration, focusing mainly on artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies. Our thesis is that the impact of innovative digital technologies on the operation standards and structure of public administration should be analysed through the prism of interrelated mechanisms of datafication and platformisation, characteristic for the digital economy. The adopted methodology, which is based on an analysis of the subject literature and an analysis of new technology implementations in public administration in EU countries, indicates the pilot, random and non-transformational nature of these implementations, partly due to the lack of well-established methodologies to study and assess the maturity of digital transformation within the public sector.

Recently, the emergence of the Internet, particularly the Web, has led to a growth in the use of e-commerce in business-to-business, business-to-consumer, business-to-public administration, consumer-to-public administration, and user-to-user activities, leading to new business opportunities, as well as to a variety of problems. This paper research presents a brief overview of e-commerce technology and utilizes a survey, based on this overview to garner insights from Information Systems professionals at leading e-commerce firms.

There is no doubt that one of the most obvious and far-reaching derivations of the Internet and global interconnection through the network is the enormous volume of information to which we have access. It is in this context that the so-called "Big Data" appears, exposing us to great changes in the different areas of our lives, proposing scenarios that point to open governments, transparency and greater closeness to citizens. However, there are many challenges that this new reality poses on Public Administration and there appears not to be unique strategies or models for its implementation. The aim of this work is to review some of the most important concepts that are involved in this era of Big Data in the public sector.

Most people in Indonesia usually have plants at their homes, places of business and so on. Balad is a place of business, which has a minimalist garden on the second floor. The limited land owned by Balad has made business owners take advantage of the existing land conditions to raise crops on a small scale. The garden is usually planted with a variety of plants to beautify and make the gardens in Balad cool. Plants grown by business owners in order to grow properly must have adequate water consumption and adequate lighting. The provision of water or watering and lighting to plants is one of the important things to keep the plants alive. Seeing this condition, business owners must do regular watering so that these plants get sufficient water consumption. Nowadays everyone has their own preferences, the same applies to business owners in Balad, so that sometimes they are forgotten to care for plants due to limited time. Information systems on plant care based on the Internet of Things help in collecting information related to conditions such as humidity, temperature, soil fertility, and plant inspection that can be controlled via a smartphone using the internet network. Internet of Things makes use of plant owners to connect with their residence or place of business from anywhere and anytime. The remote sensor structure using Microcontroller ESP8266 is used to monitor the condition of plants in the Balad park, of course, to see conditions remotely. Designing Plant Care Information Systems based on the Internet of Things, can reduce costs and update productivity standards in maintaining small-scale plants and if needed can be developed on a large scale

Today, the coronavirus infection COVID-2019 deals a devastating blow to the economies of most countries due to disruption of production chains, the bankruptcy of small and medium-sized businesses, increasing the number of unemployed, and more. Under these conditions, the coverage of digitalization of all sectors of the economy and basic spheres of life of citizens becomes especially important. The article is devoted to the analysis of the possibilities of the latest blockchain technologies, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things in view of their impact on the transformation of the business process management system. The study used methods of bibliographic analysis of scientific publications and analytical reports of international organizations related to the concept of “Industry 4.0” and diseases of coronavirus infection, analyzing from the audit point of view, how to reinforce the principles of transparency, responsibility, and participation. It has been proven that blockchain technology is able to service online payments without intermediaries, receipt, and transfer of digital assets, as well as political elections and voting. Artificial intelligence models can help map, manage, predict, and model complex processes, reducing uncertainty, and supporting professionals in decision-making. The Internet of Things allows you to transfer information, improve control and automation, and provide opportunities to optimize the company’s operating costs. The result of the study can be practically valuable for many stakeholders: auditors – conducting audits by artificial intelligence; public administration – developing measures to address the economic, social and political crisis triggered by the pandemic, by building trust between government and citizens through communication, and by ensuring transparency and accountability. Keywords: blockchain, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, COVID-19, health care crisis, economic crisis, political crisis, control, public administration, financial management.
