“…Economic optimization is expedited by using information and communication technology (ICT), which can improve living conditions, facilitate urban management, or mediate energy and climate problems. Additionally, smart economies support the education, entrepreneurial spirit, innovation, and productivity of city populations (see Constro, 2021;Letnik et al, 2018;Sicilia et al, 2017;Monfaredzadeh & Krueger, 2015;Abellá-García et al, 2015;Jedlin'ski, 2014).…”

This study has two main objectives. First, spread out attention toward modern urban modeling and smart cities development in the GCC countries in general and Kuwait in particular. Second, expand existing scholarly concern on digital urbanization notion beyond the scope of the worldwide developed economies. There is a need to include the GCC countries to the scholarly urban literature since such countries are now highly urbanized. Also, the knowledge-based economy is applied through adopting the digitalization processing toward offering public and private services to their communities. The study concludes that smart cities have become very much significant through offering preeminent solutions to several environmental, economic, and societal problems in urban regions. For the GCC, it is crucial to identify the concept and structure of the targeted smart city initiative which should be linked to the country’s national strategic vision. Additionally, what proxies are used to judge on how smart is a city? Not less important, adopting the smart cities format would require overcoming significant limitations in order to overcome urban pressures through introducing the smart cities initiatives.

“…The data-driven methodologies applied on energy-related data are proposed in a large body of literature. Studies can be categorized based on the main research issue addressed into four main classes: (1) data characterization and exploration [5][6][7][8][9]; (2) data management and architectures [7,10]; (3) predictive analytics [11][12][13][14][15][16]; and (iv) geospatial data visualization [7,[17][18][19][20].…”

“…Geographic data are then often visualized on comfortable visual maps, e.g. Caputo et al [28] visualized on a city-level map the energy consumption disaggregated on the final use (i.e., cooking and heating).A 3D map on Google Earth at district-level was proposed by Agugiaro [7] to visualize some interesting statistics on energy consumption, while Sicilia et al [19] computed descriptive statistics over Energy Performance Certificates are visualized on a map.

A Data-Driven Energy Platform: From Energy Performance Certificates to Human-Readable Knowledge through Dynamic High-Resolution Geospatial Maps

et al. 2020

The energy performance certificate (EPC) is a document that certifies the average annual energy consumption of a building in standard conditions and allows it to be classified within a so-called energy class. In a period such as this, when greenhouse gas emissions are of considerable importance and where the objective is to improve energy security and reduce energy costs in our cities, energy certification has a key role to play. The proposed work aims to model and characterize residential buildings’ energy efficiency by exploring heterogeneous, geo-referenced data with different spatial and temporal granularity. The paper presents TUCANA (TUrin Certificates ANAlysis), an innovative data mining engine able to cover the whole analytics workflow for the analysis of the energy performance certificates, including cluster analysis and a model generalization step based on a novel spatial constrained K-NN, able to automatically characterize a broad set of buildings distributed across a major city and predict different energy-related features for new unseen buildings. The energy certificates analyzed in this work have been issued by the Piedmont Region (a northwest region of Italy) through open data. The results obtained on a large dataset are displayed in novel, dynamic, and interactive geospatial maps that can be consulted on a web application integrated into the system. The visualization tool provides transparent and human-readable knowledge to various stakeholders, thus supporting the decision-making process.

“…Therefore, this reveals that the competitive advantages stem from the IS solution and its utilization [44]. Indeed, on account of the functions above and the importance of ISs, there are so many studies showing the significance of ISs regarding a wide range of different disciplines such as health and medicine [37,31], transportation [7], energy [36], biology [27], education, environment [4], geography [42] and so many other ones. However, there are many studies about supplier selection in which different types of ISs play a significant role [35,2].…”

Information Systems (IS) have turned into vital means for companies to survive in the contemporary technology-oriented environment. Subsequently, over the last decades, this has brought about the heavy investment of companies in ISs to guarantee high-quality products and services. Similarly, supplier selection (SS) plays an inescapable role in today’s business. In addition, there are several studies published showing the importance of the ISs in the SS problem. However, there has not been any work evaluating the effectiveness of ISs on the SS problem, including a comprehensive and up-to date SS model. Therefore, this study proposed a complete model including six criteria that are almost most important and shared in the literature: sustainability, reliability, resiliency, greenness, risk and cost, and 31 sub-criteria. Then the effectiveness of 10 ISs on the SS problem has been shown through using BWM in two consecutive stages, and then the model conducted in Emdadkhodro automotive company to show its practicality and accuracy.
