Sustainable development is based on the idea that societies should advance without compromising their future development requirements. This book explores how the application of data analytics and digital technologies can ensure that development changes are executed on the basis of factual data and information. It addresses how innovations that rely on digital technologies can support sustainable development across all sectors and all social, economic, and environmental aspects and help us achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The book also highlights techniques, processes, models, tools, and practices used to achieve sustainable development through data analysis. The various topics covered in this book are critically evaluated, not only theoretically, but also from an application perspective. It will be of interest to researchers and students, especially those in the fields of applied data analytics, business intelligence and knowledge management. |
This book presents case studies to analyse the relationship between sustainability – environmental, social, institutional and economic – and digital innovation. The respective contributions offer a contextualisation of the main present and future trends concerning these two elements, and present analyses from economic, technical, managerial, and social perspectives alike. The individual sections of the book focus on interactions between sustainability and digital innovation in existing organisations and highlight the new opportunities, challenges and threats that may emerge as a result. The contributions are mainly based on case studies and research conducted in Europe and Africa, with a few focusing on Southeast Asia and Central America, and were prepared by experts in the fields of Information Systems, Computer Science, Social Development, and Economics. |
ICTA-EMOS Book of Abstracts
Resilience, Entrepreneurship and ICT
This book is based on the work of the YEEES Research Centre, an international network of scientists from partner universities in Germany, Mozambique, Namibia and South Africa. It presents inter- and transdisciplinary research that explores different ways of understanding resilience, an essential characteristic for systems, organizations and people – providing them with strength in the face of attacks and challenges, and both enabling and fostering constant adaptation and improvement. Building resilience to face today’s ever-changing societal and environmental realities requires unbiased research activities that transcend the borders of countries and academic disciplines alike. The research addressed in this book, thus, is multidisciplinary and includes contributions to areas such as sustainable agriculture, entrepreneurial ecosystems, and smart communities, as well as groundbreaking work on skills development and ICT education. Highlighting the variety of research activities and their outcomes, this book offers a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners in the fields of sustainable resilience development. |
Computational Intelligence for Business Analytics
Corporate success has been changed by the importance of new developments in Business Analytics (BA) and furthermore by the support of computational intelligence- based techniques. This book opens a new avenues in these subjects, identifies key developments and opportunities. The book will be of interest for students, researchers and professionals to identify innovative ways delivered by Business Analytics based on computational intelligence solutions. They help elicit information, handle knowledge and support decision-making for more informed and reliable decisions even under high uncertainty environments.Computational Intelligence for Business Analytics has collected the latest technological innovations in the field of BA to improve business models related to Group Decision-Making, Forecasting, Risk Management, Knowledge Discovery, Data Breach Detection, Social Well-Being, among other key topics related to this field. |
Progress in Sustainable Mobility Research
Balancing Agile and Disciplined Engineering and Management Approaches for IT Services and Software Products
Smart Cities/Smart Regions – Technische, wirtschaftliche und gesellschaftliche Innovationen
In diesem Tagungsband zu den 10. BUIS-Tagen (20. Tagung der Fachgruppe Betriebliche Umweltinformationssysteme der Gesellschaft für Informatik e. V.) werden Thematiken „smarter“ Städte und Regionen unter Einsatz von nachhaltigen IKT-Lösungen in Beiträgen aus Wissenschaft und Praxis vorgestellt. Betriebliche Umweltinformationssysteme erfassen, analysieren und stellen hierbei umweltrelevante Daten für vielschichtige Prozesse bereit. Das Spektrum der Fachbeiträge zeigt die Vielfalt der Fragestellungen und den Einsatz von IKT-Lösungen in der Förderung der Ziele für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung auf. Wesentlichen Raum nehmen Beiträge zur Wissenschaftskooperation und zum Erfahrungstransfer zwischen afrikanischen und europäischen Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern auf allen Themenfeldern der Tagung ein. |
Modernizing the Academic Teaching and Research Environment
Engineering and Management of Data Centers
This edited volume covers essential and recent development in the engineering and management of data centers. Data centers are complex systems requiring ongoing support, and their high value for keeping business continuity operations is crucial. The book presents core topics on the planning, design, implementation, operation and control, and sustainability of a data center from a didactical and practitioner viewpoint. This book bridges the gap between academia and the industry, offering essential reading for practitioners in data centers, researchers in the area, and faculty teaching related courses on data centers. The book can be used as a complementary text for traditional courses on Computer Networks, as well as innovative courses on IT Architecture, IT Service Management, IT Operations, and Data Centers. |
Nachhaltige Betriebliche Umweltinformationssysteme
In diesem Tagungsband zu den 9. BUIS-Tagen (19. Tagung der Fachgruppe Betriebliche Umweltinformationssysteme der Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V.) werden aktuelle Themen des nachhaltigen Einsatzes von IT-Lösungen präsentiert – neben Fragen der nachhaltigen Gestaltung von und mit Betrieblichen Umweltinformationssystemen, Green Events, Nachhaltigkeit in der Lehre bietet dieses breite Spektrum weitere innovative Forschungspunkte: In welchem Zusammenhang stehen eine Schrift und die Nachhaltigkeit? Wie wirkt sich die Usability von Software auf deren Nachhaltigkeit aus? Welche Einsatzmöglichkeiten findet die Künstliche Intelligenz in der Umweltinformatik? Mit dem Fokus auf Automatisierung, Wirtschaft & Politik, Wissen & Datenaustausch, Soziales und Bildung werden Lebensbereiche thematisiert, in denen Nachhaltigkeit bereits intensiv diskutiert wird. |
