Using Multivariate Statistics

Course Description In this course, we will explore the question of the actual and potential connections between democracy and education. Our focus of attention will be placed on a critical examination of democratic theory and its implications for the civic education roles and contributions of teachers, adult educators, community development practitioners, and community organizers. We will survey and deal critically with a range of competing conceptions of democracy, variously described as classical, republican, liberal, radical, marxist, neomarxist, pragmatist, feminist, populist, pluralist, postmodern, and/or participatory. Using narrative inquiry as a means for illuminating and interpreting contemporary practice, we will analyze the implications of different conceptions of democracy for the practical work of civic education.

Democracy and education.

Making a city "smart" is emerging as a strategy to mitigate the problems generated by the urban population growth and rapid urbanization. Yet little academic research has sparingly discussed the phenomenon. To close the gap in the literature about smart cities and in response to the increasing use of the concept, this paper proposes a framework to understand the concept of smart cities. Based on the exploration of a wide and extensive array of literature from various disciplinary areas we identify eight critical factors of smart city initiatives: management and organization, technology, governance, policy context, people and communities, economy, built infrastructure, and natural environment. These factors form the basis of an integrative framework that can be used to examine how local governments are envisioning smart city initiatives. The framework suggests directions and agendas for smart city research and outlines practical implications for government professionals.

Understanding Smart Cities: An Integrative Framework

This conceptual paper discusses how we can consider a particular city as a smart one, drawing on recent practices to make cities smart. A set of the common multidimensional components underlying the smart city concept and the core factors for a successful smart city initiative is identified by exploring current working definitions of smart city and a diversity of various conceptual relatives similar to smart city. The paper offers strategic principles aligning to the three main dimensions (technology, people, and institutions) of smart city: integration of infrastructures and technology-mediated services, social learning for strengthening human infrastructure, and governance for institutional improvement and citizen engagement.

Conceptualizing smart city with dimensions of technology, people, and institutions

Purpose – The aim of this paper is to identify the quality determinants for education services provided by higher education institutions (HEIs) in Greece and to measure their relative importance from the students' points of view.Design/mthodology/approach – A multi‐criteria decision‐making methodology was used for assessing the relative importance of quality determinants that affect student satisfaction. More specifically, the analytical hierarchical process (AHP) was used in order to measure the relative weight of each quality factor.Findings – The relative weights of the factors that contribute to the quality of educational services as it is perceived by students was measured.Research limitations/implications – The research is based on the questionnaire of the Hellenic Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education. This implies that the measured weights are related mainly to questions posed in this questionnaire. However, the applied method (AHP) can be used to assess different quality determinants.Prac...

Evaluation of the factors that determine quality in higher education: an empirical study

Digital cities have been evolved from web applications and knowledge bases to smart urban environments. This evolution has mainly been based on broadband metro-networks and complex information systems, and it suggests the form of the future city that is called wireless/smart/digital or ubiquitous city. Although common practices are being developed all over the world, different priorities are defined and different architectures are followed. In this paper we summarize on the applied architectures of multiple city case studies, we use the experiences of the digital city of Trikala, Greece, and we conclude to a common Enterprise Architecture for digital city cases. This common architecture identifies the blue prints for urban information based development. Moreover, this paper presents a common architecture for service delivery in urban spaces.

From Digital to Ubiquitous Cities: Defining a Common Architecture for Urban Development

Smart cities is a "booming" international phenomenon and they suggest both a novel economic and research domain, which is concerned from various perspectives, i.e. smart growth and urban planning; living labs; information and communications technologies (ICT) state-of-the-art topics etc. Although smart cities follow different forms they offer various types of services to the local communities. Recent studies illustrate that smart cities tend to evolve to green or eco-cities, where technology is capitalized for urban sustainable growth. However, it is not clear what different architecture types are followed and how these architectures are formed. This paper investigates and compares the alternative architectures that are followed by existing smart city cases, as a means to understand how different architectures offer e-services in urban areas.

Exploring architectural and organizational features in smart cities

The objective of this article is to compare a generic set of project management processes as defined in Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) with a number of agile project management processes PMBOK is developed by Project Management Institute and it is structured around five process groups (initiating, planning, execution, controlling and closure) and nine knowledge areas (integration management, scope management, time management, cost management, quality management, human resource management, communication management, risk management, procurement management) On the other hand, agile software project management is based on the following principles: embrace change, focus on customer value, deliver part of functionality incrementally, collaborate, reflect and learn continuously The purpose of this comparison is to identify gaps, differences, discrepancies etc The result is that, agile project management methodologies cannot be considered complete, from the traditional project management point of view, since a number of processes either are missing or not described explicitly

Comparing PMBOK and Agile Project Management software development processes

Traditional competition between cities appears to transit to a "smart" competition and to this end smart city ownership, organization and evolution are questioned. In this paper, a worldwide smart city classification is performed in order to address the preferred organization and the technological evolution of smart city. This classification's findings illustrate that State-Owned-Enterprise appears to be the preferred organization in most of the examined cases, while smart cities struggle in a niche international market arena.
