This book presents the latest scientific and technical advances in the fields of Smart Cities and Smart Territories. It shows outcomes of 2nd Sustainable Smart Cities and Territories International Conference in Manizales (Colombia) on June 21–23, 2023. The concept of smart cities, which emerged in the early 2000s, attempts to solve these challenges by implementing information and communication technologies. The initial concept of smart cities focused on the modernization of megacities.

This book provides some of the most recent developments in Computational Intelligence applied to business and economics presented at the MS'10 International Conference, Barcelona, 15 - 17 July, 2010. It presents several new theoretical advancements and a wide range of applications in different business and economic areas including accounting, finance, management, marketing, sports, tourism, economics and politics, and also some applications related with engineering and modeling and simulation.This book is very useful for researchers and graduate students interested in pursuing research in business and economics with an orientation to modern techniques for dealing with uncertainty such as those related with modeling and simulation and computational intelligence.
This book constitutes the proceedings of this year’s Sustainable Smart Cities and Territories International Conference (SSCt 2021), held in Doha, Qatar, from the 27th to the 29th of April 2021. The SSCt 2021 is an open symposium that brings together researchers and developers from academia and industry to present and discuss the latest scientific and technical advances in the fields of Smart Cities and Smart Territories. It promotes an environment for discussion on how techniques, methods, and tools help system designers accomplish the transition from the current cities towards those we need in a changing world. The program includes keynote abstracts, a main technical track, two workshops, and a doctoral consortium. The symposium is organized by the Texas A&M University at Qatar. We would like to thank all the contributing authors, the members of the Local Committee, Scientific Committee, Organizing Committee, and the sponsors (Texas A&M University of Qatar, AIR Institute and the IoT Digital Innovation Hub) for their hard work and dedication.
2013 ha sido designado Año Mundial de la Estadística y con los resultados del congreso, esta publicación contribuye al papel que el ISI quiere reforzar, que no es otro que la justa presencia y reconocimiento de la Estadística e Investigación Operativa en la sociedad. El libro se estructura de la siguiente forma: Conferencias plenarias (entre ellas la de Sixto Ros y Enrique Castillo); Candidatos al Premio Ramiro Melendreras; Contribuciones a los grupos SEIO; resto de contribuciones por categorías.
2025: Bienvenidos a la Sociedad Inteligente es una obra de arte que nos lleva desde el pasado hasta el futuro, desde la antropología humana hasta la singularidad tecnológica. En un mundo cambiante, y con cambios cada vez más acelerados, no podemos ser espectadores pasivos frente a los grandes desafíos y oportunidades de los próximos años y décadas. Gracias a la naturaleza de los cambios exponenciales, es muy posible que veamos más cambios en las próximas dos décadas que en los dos milenios pasados. Peter Diamandis, cofundador de Singularity University, explica que gracias a la innovación estamos pasando de un mundo de escasez a un mundo de abundancia por primera vez en la historia humana.
This work is a complete mathematical guide to lottery games, covering all of the problems related to probability, combinatorics, and all parameters describing the lottery matrices, as well as the various playing systems. The mathematics sections describe the mathematical model of the lottery, which is in fact the essence of the lotto game. The applications of this model provide players with all the mathematical data regarding the parameters attached to the gaming events and personal playing systems. By applying these data, one can find all the winning probabilities for the play with one line (for each category in part or cumulatively), and how these probabilities change with playing the vari...
