Such capabilities introduce major Data Quality challenges: The optimization of electricity production and consumption in such environments relies on collecting and analyzing vast amounts of sensor-based data samples in real time. Degradation in the quality of such data might hinder its analysis and result in sub-optimal Smart Grid configuration. This study aims at exploring the effect of two Data Quality determinants in Smart Grid's environments — sampling frequency, reflecting the temporal distribution, and sampling density, reflecting spatial distribution. Beyond technical aspects, sampling density and frequency have economic implications, which must affect their optimal configuration. This study contributes to further conceptualization of these Data Quality determinants and assessing their impact in Smart Grid's environments, by developing an analytical model that links their configuration to cost-benefit tradeoffs. This manuscript presents the model development, and its preliminary evaluation with a large-scale datasets that reflects energy consumption in a real-world environment.","PeriodicalId":442052,"journal":{"name":"2017 Smart City Symposium Prague (SCSP)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126918349","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}

Cities are upgraded with latest computing and ICT technologies throughout all systems and infrastructure. New data are collected in big amounts and ability to use them is changing how city subsystems can communicate together, to make cities work better and serve better to their users. Smart Cities are convoluted Cyber Physical Model Systems with gradually growing network of all of its parts including human social networks. Cities are under continuous development, in relation to attractiveness of city structure, based on all activities and transactions conducted in city area and related surrounding, newly also through connected virtual world. Industry 4.0 Concept is one of segments of city's recent or near future upgrade. Integration of advanced computing technology and Information Computing Technology throughout whole production enterprise enable to share data, information, and instructions between all agents during all phases of product lifecycle, a product partially participating as a vehicle of product development instructions. Industry 4.0 concept includes six principles, which are compared to Smart City near to 4.0 model. Triangle Rule Diagram is introduced to investigate relationships between all main domains in city live — Client, Enterprise and Facilitator at concept of Smart City near to 4.0, where integration of computing technologies is embedded in all of these domains and inside all city systems and processes connecting them together. Services become a predominantly main city's product as outcome of City Enterprise.

In this paper, we aim at discussing the most promising mobile cloud and data transmission technologies that are expected to make the city more “smart” and more affordable for the end-users. Hence, we also discuss Li-Fi as a future transmission of data through illumination that can enhance further the communication in a smart city as well as guarantee a wireless connectivity that meets the requirements of the citizens. Finally, we discuss the challenges and opportunities of these new technologies for the scientific community and suggest the future research directions that should go hand in hand with their deployment.","PeriodicalId":442052,"journal":{"name":"2017 Smart City Symposium Prague (SCSP)","volume":"4 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123807363","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}

Modelling the transport energy consumption and resilience of alternative spatial development scenarios can play an important role in planning and policy formulation of a district. The model presented in this paper provides district planning offices with a practical and relatively easy-to-use scenario evaluation tool. It is based on two components — a transport model based on a doubly-constrained spatial interaction model with modal split and a model for evaluation of energy consumption and vulnerability. The evaluation component includes evaluation of average energy consumption, evaluation of spatial impacts caused by changes in spatial friction due to increasing fuel costs and the simulation of sudden energy supply disruption and price turbulences.","PeriodicalId":442052,"journal":{"name":"2017 Smart City Symposium Prague (SCSP)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125190638","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}

To do so, our method uses historical metering data and weather forecasts.

Populations are ageing, the number of smaller or single person households is increasing and city centers face sinking number of inhabitants. This changes in many cities and regions brings new challenges for implementation of modern smart solutions in many areas including waste management and circular economy. Czech municipalities should currently start preparations for transition to circular economy that can begin with better understanding particular waste streams that are collected at the municipal level. Our research aimed at two separate waste streams (plastic and glass) and how are they affected by socio-demographic characteristics of inhabitants and households. The socio-demographic aspect is important for forecasting of waste generation as well as for planning of various campaigns supporting the implementation and acceptance of circular economy. Our results indicate that it is necessary to analyze different waste streams separately because there are significant differences. While socio-demographic characteristic has nearly no impact on waste glass production, it influences significantly plastic waste production.","PeriodicalId":442052,"journal":{"name":"2017 Smart City Symposium Prague (SCSP)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131842066","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}
