One essential aspect of the establishment of an organizational basis for \"smart cities\" projects is education and training. We discuss how English master programs designed in the right way can contribute to cities’ digitalization. This paper focuses on the importance of German language for international students of those master programs and using blended learning approach as a useful study method for learning foreign languages. For research purposes the following master programs of the Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts: \"Embedded Systems for Mechatronics\", \"European Master in Project Management\" and \"Master Digital Transformation\" were chosen as main focus groups for further development and improvement. Since they are the only master programs taught in English at the university, special attention should be paid to the quality of German language course which is integrated there as a part of the studies content. How the master programs are designed has a direct influence on the professional expertise of the graduates and their ability to contribute to the successful realization of the \"smart city\" concept in innovative projects.","PeriodicalId":345917,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE European Technology and Engineering Management Summit (E-TEMS)","volume":"115 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128711892","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The energy source is selected on criteria of availability and costs as both differ during the time (depending on weather conditions and grid load). In this paper, the authors look at the optimization of the delivery cost of energy depending on the energy source and time of charging.","PeriodicalId":345917,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE European Technology and Engineering Management Summit (E-TEMS)","volume":"2008 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125615203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, Agile is now spreading to other parts and types of organisations, turning into a booming field of various frameworks and methods. While everyone refers to the Agile Manifesto [1], [2], \"Agile\" is perceived and, thus, implemented differently. Alignment on the question \"What is \"Agile\" to you?\" contributes to the common ground and \"common language\" for adoption. Understanding how exactly Agile an organisational unit is, in turn, provides transparency and is the means for consistent adoption. This paper represents a retrospective of the survey on agile transformation devoted to these questions.","PeriodicalId":345917,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE European Technology and Engineering Management Summit (E-TEMS)","volume":"103 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122281722","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hence, understanding the relationship between logistics of the goods flow and smart city operations is crucial in the policy deployment of future cities. Emerging smart logistics considers the inclusion of disruptive technologies – e.g., smart sensors within the Internet of Things environment. However, no research work studies the impact of smart logistics on smart cities sustainability, considering the firm-level technological viewpoint. Thus, this paper investigates empirically the effect of smart logistics on smart city sustainable operations, based on the foundation of organisational capability theory. For that purpose, a survey-based questionnaire is used to collect data from businesses that deal with logistics in Melbourne city (Australia). Then, the structural equation modelling technique is employed to analyse the relationship of smart logistics with smart city performance. Results show that smart logistics has a positive impact on smart city sustainable performance. Therefore, future urban projects will take into account this emerging logistics approach.","PeriodicalId":345917,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE European Technology and Engineering Management Summit (E-TEMS)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133757840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The rapid growth of the shared use e-scooter market has raised questions about environmental sustainability and public benefits in many cities worldwide. The high dynamics of the market and insufficient public data available about the concrete business processes of shared e- scooters are making clear statements about the ecological effects difficult. The paper aims to conduct a life cycle assessment using Berlin as an example for shared e- scooters. Based on different operating scenarios, the ecological potentials of e-scooters should be assessed in a more differentiated way. The results show how product lifetimes, swappable batteries, alternative collection logistics and charging concepts influence the greenhouse balance compared to alternative means of transport.","PeriodicalId":345917,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE European Technology and Engineering Management Summit (E-TEMS)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124412206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Efficiently keeping bicycle-sharing system as balanced as possible is the main problem and thus, predicting or minimizing the manual transportation of bikes across the city is the prime objective in order to save logistic costs for operating companies. The purpose of this paper is two-fold: Identification of spatial structures and their structural change using Convolutional neural network (CNN) that takes adjacency matrix snapshots of unbalanced sub-graphs, and the Long short-term memory artificial recurrent neural network (RNN LSTM) in order to find and predict its dynamic patterns. As a result, we are predicting bike flows for each node in the possible future subgraph configuration, which in turn informs bicycle-sharing system owners to plan accordingly. Benefits are identified both for urban city planning and for bike-sharing companies by saving time and minimizing their cost.","PeriodicalId":345917,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE European Technology and Engineering Management Summit (E-TEMS)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117185731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
