Smart city or urban wisdom is the new goal of urban development. In view of how to develop the wisdom city better, this paper analyzes the present situation of wisdom city development in China, and uses the entropy weight method to construct a new intelligent city evaluation system with reference to the existing wisdom city evaluation scheme. According to the data of Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai,...
Socio-economic characteristics of the systems crisis which was brought about to Russia during the reforms period and was caused by implementing “shock therapy” are examined. Its main negative and positive consequences for the country are noted and the most important reasons for it are systematized.

I present a novel definition of services (in particular, public services) which sees each of them as the sum of all activities that realize a public authority's commitment to make available to individuals, businesses, or other public authorities some capabilities intended to answer their needs, giving them some possibilities to control how and when such capabilities should be manifested.
The design of electrical systems with renewable and conventional in-house generation involves economic, environmental and technical aspects. Often these instances are conflicting: conventional sources have lower Capex and good controllability, while renewable sources have lower Opex and are environmentally friendly but often present erratic behaviors. For these reasons, the best design solution is...
This paper is based on the experiences with implementation of information systems within preparation to deal with crisis situations in terms of crisis management in the Slovak Republic with Introduction to the state of the art, the Unified Information System of Economic Mobilization and Development in Slovakia of the Program and Information System — EPSIS®JISHM. We also focus on new challenges in...
The article presents core information about National Classification of Economic Activities, National Classification of Product by Economic Activities, National classification of fixed assets. The description of problems and their solutions is presented.
Adverse Meteorological Phenomena (AMP) have great potential to cause economic and social losses, including human lives. The Middle Tropospheric Cyclonic Vortexes (MTCV), were recently discovered and there is a lack of data on formation and connection with AMP. The general objective was the analysis of the MTCV formation and the study of connections with Thunderstorms and Mesoscale Convective Complexes...
The relevance of the formation of the national digital economy is confirmed by the presence of global trends of digitalization of the international society and the need to preserve digital sovereignty of Russia. The article analyzes the subindexes of the international Networked Readiness Index (NRI) and identifies the factors that have affected Russia's lag in the network readiness rating in order...
We consider the economic and mathematical model of forming unified information Internet space for scientific and educational resources by integration of scientific and educational resources in certain “cloud”, based on the needs of consumers, the possibility of required generation in information sources and the availability of nodes (providers) in the network to organize the process of receiving,...
In the paper, existence and coalitional stability problems for Walras equilibrium in the models of multiregional economic systems are considered. Here, we continue investigations on extremal characterization of equilibrium allocations in non-classic market being a modification of the well-known Arrow-Debreu model. It is shown that strict autarchy and non-satiation conditions guarantee coincidence...
In order to address the energy issue and enhance the feasibility of Information-Centric Networking (ICN) in the case of access networks, this research proposes a novel Green ICN design which can adapt power consumption of network devices to their optimized real-time link-utilizations based on content popularity levels. We utilize dynamic ALR (Adaptive Link Rate) based scheme for content nodes to provide...
Distributed renewable energy competitiveness is becoming a reality in most countries resulting in an increase of installed capacity in both developed and developing countries. Mexico, India, Germany, Zambia and South Africa have experienced the lowest average tariffs for solar photovoltaic (PV) through their competitive bidding processes between 2015 and 2017. In South Africa, the latest competitive...
In recent times, major cybersecurity breaches and cyber fraud had huge negative impact on victim organisations. The biggest impact made on major areas of business activities. Majority of organisations facing cybersecurity adversity and advanced threats suffers from huge financial and reputation loss.

The results of big data's analysis used in the audit of financial statements allowed revealing the occurrence of accounting misstatements, herewith full and timely implementation of audit procedures did not provide an opportunity to determine these misstatements.
With the emergence and development of electronic currency, especially bitcoin turning out, it provided a new way of thinking for the realization of the super-sovereign currency [1]. In this situation, what is the evolution trend of the optimal monetary model? What is the construction of electronic super-sovereign currency? What is the new development of the traditional super-sovereign currency theories?...
In this paper, we consider a partial observed two-person zero-sum stochastic differential game problem where the system is governed by a stochastic differential equation of mean-field type. Under standard assumptions on the coefficients, the maximum principles for optimal open-loop control in a strong sense as well as a weak one are established by the associated optimal control theory in Tang and...
The importance of formative feedback in higher education institutions is out of doubt, however, reports on poor feedback from students and a high cost in producing quality feedback from teachers demand a different line of action. This article proposes the use of Open Education Resources as suggested content for markers in order to enhance their provided feedback. An evaluation was performed using...
The paper discussed about the importance of Professional Development Program in Lokon High School (SMA Lokon) in North Sulawesi, Indonesia and its effort to become an international standard school. Using qualitative case study, the research used interview method in gathering data. The researcher interviewed five teachers who teach in the school and used their answers to analyze the concept of the...
Municipal waste management has a great impact on the sustainability of human processes and green policies, especially in urban sites. Although it could be achieved the full separation of the reusable and recyclable items and the complete elimination of the organic material present in it, many waste components must still be processed in waste treatment facilities. Accordingly, since the 90s, in Spain,...
In this paper, we consider a two-echelon supply chain that consists of a retailer and a manufacture. The amount of carbon emitted by the whole supply chain is constrained to a certain cap. Based on standard economic order quantity(EOQ) model, the retailer decides the order quantity and the manufacture decides the production lot size, and their objectives are to minimize their cost subject to the carbon-constraint...
