In recent years, enormous amounts of digital data have been generated. In parallel, data collection, storage, and analysis technologies have developed. Recently, there has been an increasing trend of people moving towards urban areas. By 2030 more than 60% of the world's population will live in an urban environment. Urban areas are big data resource because they include millions of citizens, technological devices, and vehicles which generate data continuously. Besides, rapid urbanization brings many challenges, such as environmental pollution, traffic congestion, health problems, energy management, etc. Some policies for countries are required to cope with urbanization problems. One of these policies is to build smart cities. Smart cities integrate information and communication technology and various physical devices connected to the network (the internet of things or IoT) to both improve the quality of government services and citizen welfare. This chapter presents a literature review of big data, smart cities, IoT, green-IoT concepts, using technology and methods, and applications worldwide.

Big data and business analytics are trends that are positively impacting the business world. Past researches show that data generated in the modern world is huge and growing exponentially. These include structured and unstructured data that flood organizations daily. Unstructured data constitute the majority of the world’s digital data and these include text files, web, and social media posts, emails, images, audio, movies, etc. The unstructured data cannot be managed in the traditional relational database management system (RDBMS). Therefore, data proliferation requires a rethinking of techniques for capturing, storing, and processing the data. This is the role big data has come to play. This paper, therefore, is aimed at increasing the attention of organizations and researchers to various applications and benefits of big data technology. The paper reviews and discusses, the recent trends, opportunities and pitfalls of big data and how it has enabled organizations to create successful business strategies and remain competitive, based on available literature. Furthermore, the review presents the various applications of big data and business analytics, data sources generated in these applications and their key characteristics. Finally, the review not only outlines the challenges for successful implementation of big data projects but also highlights the current open research directions of big data analytics that require further consideration. The reviewed areas of big data suggest that good management and manipulation of the large data sets using the techniques and tools of big data can deliver actionable insights that create business values.

The successful handling of numerous real–world complex problems has increased the popularity of nature–inspired intelligent (NII) algorithms and techniques. Their successful implementation primarily on difficult and complicated optimization problems, stresses their upcoming importance in the broader area of artificial intelligence. NII techniques take advantage of the way that biological systems deal with real–world situations. Specifically, they simulate the way real biological systems, such as the human brain, ant colonies and human immune system work, when solving complex real–world situations. In this survey paper, we briefly present a number of selected NII approaches and we point particular suitable areas of application for each of them. Specifically, five major categories of nature inspired approaches are presented, namely, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), DNA computing, artificial immune systems and membrane computing. Applications include problems related to optimization (financial, industrial and medical), task scheduling, system design (optimization of the system's parameters), image processing and data processing (feature selection and classification). We also refer to collaboration between NII techniques and classical AI methodologies, such as neural networks, genetic algorithms, fuzzy logic, etc. The current survey states that NII techniques are likely to become the next step in the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence tools.

The rapid development of AI has affected the design process. The ability to analyze big data and AI’s efficiency, rapidity will bring great changes to the monitoring products especially for children. At present, the vast majority of intelligent child care products are based on the parental experience, designed in the aspect of parental supervision, and the children who use the product are often neglected. So change the way of designing, from the perspective of children using Intelligence technology, the ultimate child care products can play the most important role.

Abstract Background Much has been invested in big data and artificial intelligence-based solutions for healthcare. However, few applications have been implemented in clinical practice. Early economic evaluations can help to improve decision-making by developers of analytics underlying these solutions aiming to increase the likelihood of successful implementation, but recommendations about their use are lacking. The aim of this study was to develop and apply a framework that positions best practice methods for economic evaluations alongside development of analytics, thereby enabling developers to identify barriers to success and to select analytics worth further investments. Methods The framework was developed using literature, recommendations for economic evaluations and by applying the framework to use cases (chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL), intensive care, diabetes). First, the feasibility of developing clinically relevant analytics was assessed and critical barriers to successful development and implementation identified. Economic evaluations were then used to determine critical thresholds and guide investment decisions. Results When using the framework to assist decision-making of developers of analytics, continuing development was not always feasible or worthwhile. Developing analytics for progressive CLL and diabetes was clinically relevant but not feasible with the data available. Alternatively, developing analytics for newly diagnosed CLL patients was feasible but continuing development was not considered worthwhile because the high drug costs made it economically unattractive for potential users. Alternatively, in the intensive care unit, analytics reduced mortality and per-patient costs when used to identify infections (− 0.5%, − €886) and to improve patient-ventilator interaction (− 3%, − €264). Both analytics have the potential to save money but the potential benefits of analytics that identify infections strongly depend on infection rate; a higher rate implies greater cost-savings. Conclusions We present a framework that stimulates efficiency of development of analytics for big data and artificial intelligence-based solutions by selecting those applications of analytics for which development is feasible and worthwhile. For these applications, results from early economic evaluations can be used to guide investment decisions and identify critical requirements.

BACKGROUND Much has been invested in big data and artificial intelligence-based solutions for healthcare. However, few applications have actually been implemented in clinical practice. Early economic evaluations can help to improve decision-making by developers of analytics underlying these solutions to increase the likelihood of successful implementation, but recommendations about their use are lacking. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to develop and apply a framework that positions best-practice methods for economic evaluations alongside development of analytics, thereby enabling developers to identify barriers to success and to select analytics worth further investments.

Hereafter, economic evaluations were used to determine critical thresholds and guide investment decisions. RESULTS Developing analytics for progressive CLL and diabetes was clinically relevant but not feasible with the data available. Alternatively, developing analytics for newly diagnosed CLL patients was feasible but continuing development was not considered worthwhile because the high drug costs resulted in an unfavorable cost-effectiveness ratio for potential users. In the intensive care, analytics reduced mortality and per-patient costs when used to identify infections (-0.5%, -€886) and also to improve patient-ventilator interaction (-3%, -€264). Both analytics hold the potential to save money but the return on investment for developers of analytics that identify infections strongly depends on infection rate; a higher rate implies greater cost-savings. CONCLUSIONS We present a framework that stimulates efficiency of development of analytics for big data and artificial intelligence-based solutions by selecting those applications of analytics for which development is feasible and worthwhile. For these applications, results from early economic evaluations can be used to guide investment decisions and identify critical requirements.

The technological changes of the 20th and 21st centuries, the growth of computer technologies, digital technologies and telecommunications have changed the way the state conducts its functions and delivers governance. Whether or not they have improved the welfare function of the state, the way governance is delivered has been altered. In this article, we discuss the application of electronic governance (e-governance) in Karnataka with the help of three case studies. We discuss the cases of land records management in rural and urban areas and initiatives in Bengaluru traffic management. The case studies indicate that e-governance improves service delivery and that there are points to be gleaned from the successful implementation of the same in Karnataka. Finally, we argue that while there is necessity for optimism regarding the application of technology in service-delivery functions, the overall digitisation of economy may be something qualitatively different.
