The Universal Artificial Intelligence Efforts to Face Coronavirus COVID-19

Artificial intelligence (AI) has already changed the world and has made an effective impact in a range of fields including industry, criminal law, health, national security, transport, nanotechnology, intelligent cities as well as issues such as algorithms and access to the data. This paper shows how these technologies are a great asset to humans and are programmed to reduce human effort as much as possible. They tend to possess the capability to work in an automated fashion. Therefore, manual intervention is the last thing that could be asked for or seen while operating parts associated with this technology. As well as the paper shows the different universal efforts of AI techniques to face the pandemic of COVID-19.

MANAGING SUPPLY NETWORKS BASED ON THE SMART CITY CONCEPT – A REVIEW OF GOOD PRACTICES

The aim of the article was to present solutions of the Smart City concept, which can also have a real impact on the management of supply networks. One of the two main grounds that make up the Smart City concept are human potential and technological potential, whose components are divided into six functional dimensions. Effective and reliable city management and supply network management depends on a well-chosen strategy and methods used. Benefits and effects of city management based on the Smart City concept can be seen in the ranking of the most intelligent cities. A city has its own centre, and in the case of a supply network, such a centre can be a city that has to cooperate so that the various processes carried out by the various links in the supply chain pass through it correctly, giving mutual benefits.

A Novel Application Based on a Heuristic Approach for Planning Itineraries of One-Day Tourist

Technological innovations have revolutionized the lifestyle of the society and led to the development of advanced and intelligent cities. Smart city has recently become synonymous of a city characterized by an intelligent and extensive use of Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) in order to allow efficient use of information. In this context, this paper proposes a new approach to optimize the planning of itineraries for one-day tourist. More in detail, an optimization approach based on Graph theory and multi-algorithms is provided to determine the optimal tourist itinerary. The aim is to minimize the travel times taking into account the tourist preferences. An Integer Linear Programming (ILP) problem is introduced to find the optimal outward and return paths of the touristic itinerary and a multi-algorithms strategy is used to maximize the number of attractions (PoIs) to be visited in the paths. Finally, a case study focusing on cruise tourist in the city of Bari, demonstrates the efficiency of the approach and the user interaction in the determination of the itinerary.

A Survey of Data Mining Implementation in Smart City Applications

Many policymakers envisage using a community model and Big Data technology to achieve the sustainability demanded by intelligent city components and raise living standards. Smart cities use different technology to make their residents more successful in their health, housing, electricity, learning, and water supplies. This involves reducing prices and the utilization of resources and communicating more effectively and creatively for our employees. Extensive data analysis is a comparatively modern technology that is capable of expanding intelligent urban facilities. Digital extraction has resulted in the processing of large volumes of data that can be used in several valuable areas since digitalization is an essential part of daily life. In many businesses and utility domains, including the intelligent urban domain, successful exploitation and multiple data use is critical. This paper examines how big data can be used for more innovative societies. It explores the possibilities, challenges, and benefits of applying big data systems in intelligent cities and compares and contrasts different intelligent cities and big data ideas. It also seeks to define criteria for the creation of big data applications for innovative city services.

Climate-neutral and intelligent cities in Europe

The great transformation to climate-neutral cites in Europe, though often called for and widely advocated, is yet to come. This TATuP special topic underscores the necessity of integrative approaches that combine smart and intelligent urban technologies with socio-cultural innovations to open up paths towards urban climate neutrality.

Making intelligent cities in Europe climate-neutral

Smart urban futures are currently being tested and promoted in Europe using innovative and intelligent urban technologies at different spatial scales, in individual sectors such as energy or transport, or by using specific technological innovations. However, the great transformation, though often called for and widely advocated, is yet to come. This paper discusses the necessity of promoting integrative approaches that go beyond technology-centered solutions with the aim of opening up paths towards urban climate neutrality: Precisely because urban futures are hardly predictable due to diverse and partly still hidden influencing factors, it is important to include especially socio-cultural innovations, as well as resilient technical solutions. The considerations developed in this regard conclude with a presentation of the contributions in this TATuP special topic.

Systems and models of intelligent connection and interaction for society 5.0

The need to design new modes of interaction for the enjoyment of urban environments and cultural heritage includes the component related to the experiential factor, memory and the possibility of exploring the different levels of knowledge. The role of design is to visualise content and improve the sharing and dissemination of information. Starting from the analysis of the new challenges of the hyper-connected and datacentric society and of the current models and intelligent systems of advanced and interactive fruition, the contribution gives an overview of the most significant innovations that have characterized the changes in contemporary society in terms of usability and accessibility. By investigating contemporary phenomena, it will be possible to draw up a complete map of the characteristics of the approach and classification of the variables, guidelines for the design of new systems and models of connections and interactions for the intelligent and creative "5.0 Society", able to absorb innovations from the fourth industrial revolution and improve productivity in support of social problems. Over the years, digital and virtual solutions have been developed that have changed the fruition of urban environments by proposing models of "intelligent cities" that are configured as digital and flexible places. The designer, reinterpreting the technologies of interaction, reorganizes the user's skills, increasing social knowledge by changing the experiences and interpretation of urban contexts to configure new forms of "humanization".
