There is a need to analyze current smart urban challenges and opportunities, and to study how to incorporate smart systems into an agenda of urban competitiveness. The smart city approach is a recent theme, aiming at improving the quality of life of citizens in urban territories. Born like a bottom-up movement, it is now becoming critical in urban planning and development in cities all over the world. The smart city success depends on how cities achieve higher innovation profiles and competitiveness levels - on being entrepreneurial smart cities. Universities are one of the most significant cities' agents on building up active strategies to reinforce an entrepreneurial urban dynamics. Grounded on a vast and deep literature review on both scientific papers and practitioner or institutional reports, the paper tries to address the role the entrepreneurial university might bring to the formulation and implementation of smart cities strategies, pointing out to some instruments that can be used to enhance urban competitiveness and sustainability.","PeriodicalId":416459,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Smart City Applications","volume":"30 10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123278143","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 proposed solution is based on the use of the multi-agent ensuring the security of connected objects. These objects programmed with agents are able to communicate with other objects without any need to compute keys.

The main control objective is to maximize wind energy extraction which cannot be achieved without letting the wind turbine rotor operate in variable speed mode. A multiloop nonlinear controller is designed to meet two main control objectives, (i) speed reference optimization in order to extract a maximum wind energy whatever the wind speed, and (ii) power factor correction (PFC) to avoid net harmonic pollution. A multiloop nonlinear controller is synthesized using the backstepping design. A formal analysis based on Lyapunov stability is carried out to describe the control system performances. In addition to closed-loop global asymptotic stability, it is proven that all control objectives (rotor speed tracking, regulation of stator flux, DC link voltage regulation and unitary power factor) are asymptotically achieved.","PeriodicalId":416459,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Smart City Applications","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125960198","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, recognizing human activities using smartphones remains a challenging task and requires efficient data processing approaches due to the limited resources of the device. For example, the training process is usually performed offline (on the server or the cloud) but rarely online on the mobile device itself, because traditional batch learning usually needs a large dataset of many users. Therefore, building models using complex multiclass algorithms is generally very time-consuming. In this paper, we have experimented two approaches in order to accelerate the training time. In the first approach, we conducted batch-learning experiments using a GPU platform. Results showed that High Performance Extreme Learning Machine (HPELM) offers the best compromise accuracy/time. Moreover, it achieved better performance on two dynamic activities, outperforming SVM in our previous study. In the second approach, we conducted experiments using online stream learning. Unlike the first approach, experiments were performed using accelerometer data only. We also studied the effects of user/device dependency and feature engineering on the classification performance by comparing five constructed real data streams. Experimental results showed that Hoeffding Adaptive Tree has comparable performance to batch learning, especially for user and device dependent data streams.","PeriodicalId":416459,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Smart City Applications","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121886990","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}
