Digital agriculture is transforming the way we grow food by utilizing technology to make farming more efficient, sustainable, and productive. This modern approach to agriculture generates a wealth of valuable data that could help address…

Research on methods for planning and controlling water distribution networks gains increasing relevance as the availability of drinking water will decrease as a consequence of climate change. So far, the majority of approaches is based on…

Water and other resources are becoming scarcer every day, and developing countries are the neediest for an immediate intervention. Water, as a national need, is considered to be one of the main causes for conflicts in the 21st century.…

In the early 21st century, the open data movement began to transform societies and governments by promoting transparency, innovation, and public engagement. The City of New York (NYC) has been at the forefront of this movement since the…

The impacts of climate change are intensifying existing vulnerabilities and disparities within urban communities around the globe, as extreme weather events, including floods and heatwaves, are becoming more frequent and severe,…

The world is witnessing a period of extreme growth and urbanization; cities in the 21st century became nerve centers creating economic opportunities and cultural values which make cities grow exponentially. With this rapid urban population…

The maintenance of big cities public transport service quality requires constant monitoring, which may become an expensive and time-consuming practice. The perception of quality, from the users point of view is an important aspect of…

Energy systems generate vast amounts of data in extremely short time intervals, creating challenges for efficient data management. Traditional data management methods often struggle with scalability and accessibility, limiting their…

We increasingly live in a data-driven world, with diverse kinds of data distributed across many locations. In some cases, the datasets are collected from multiple locations, such as sensors (e.g., mobile phones and street cameras) spread…

Leveraging civic data, divided into 3 categories spending, infrastructure and citizen feedback, can present a clear picture of the priorities, performance, and pain-points of a city. Data driven insights highlight the current issues faced…

We are entering a new "data everywhere-anytime" era that pivots us from being tracked online to continuous tracking as we move through our everyday lives. We have smart devices in our homes, on our bodies, and around our communities that…

Finding reliable data to inform decisions about technology for global development remains a challenge. Easily accessible "Knowledge platforms" are a way to curate and standardize information about technology for development. Three…

The exponential growth of big data has transformed how large organisations leverage information to drive innovation, optimise processes, and maintain competitive advantages. However, managing and extracting insights from vast, heterogeneous…

A data commons is a cloud-based data platform with a governance structure that allows a community to manage, analyze and share its data. Data commons provide a research community with the ability to manage and analyze large datasets using…

With the shifting focus of organizations and governments towards digitization of academic and technical documents, there has been an increasing need to use this reserve of scholarly documents for developing applications that can facilitate…

Intelligent infrastructure will critically rely on the dense instrumentation of sensors and actuators that constantly transmit streaming data to cloud-based analytics for real-time monitoring. For example, driverless cars communicate…

We present an open-source solution for the operational control of drinking water distribution networks which accounts for the inherent uncertainty in water demand and electricity prices in the day-ahead market of a volatile deregulated…

Data is a precious resource in today's society, and is generated at an unprecedented and constantly growing pace. The need to store, analyze, and make data promptly available to a multitude of users introduces formidable challenges in…

Modern large-scale data centers are known for their engineering complexity, cooling, and oversubscription challenges. To mitigate these issues, this article proposes the implementation of community data centers that are closer to consumers…

This study explores the shift from community networks (CNs) to community data in rural areas, focusing on combining data pools and data cooperatives to achieve data justice and foster and a just AI ecosystem. With 2.7 billion people still…
