This book provides a holistic perspective on Digital Twin (DT) technologies, and presents cutting-edge research in the field. It assesses the opportunities that DT can offer for smart cities, and covers the requirements for ensuring secure, safe and sustainable smart cities. Further, the book demonstrates that DT and its benefits with regard to:  data visualisation, real-time data analytics, and learning leading to improved confidence in decision making;reasoning, monitoring and warning to support accurate diagnostics and prognostics;acting using edge control and what-if analysis; andconnection with back-end business applications hold significant potential for applications in smart cities, by employing a wide range of sensory and data-acquisition systems in various parts of the urban infrastructure. The contributing authors reveal how and why DT technologies that are used for monitoring, visualising, diagnosing and predicting in real-time are vital to cities’ sustainability and efficiency. The concepts outlined in the book represents a city together with all of its infrastructure elements, which communicate with each other in a complex manner. Moreover, securing Internet of Things (IoT) which is one of the key enablers of DT’s is discussed in details and from various perspectives. The book offers an outstanding reference guide for practitioners and researchers in manufacturing, operations research and communications, who are considering digitising some of their assets and related services. It is also a valuable asset for graduate students and academics who are looking to identify research gaps and develop their own proposals for further research.

This book provides a structured overview of contemporary sustainable organisational practices. It is a multidisciplinary work that cuts across several subject areas ranging from strategy, business and organisational management, environmental management, engineering, to systems thinking.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Global Security, Safety and Sustainability, ICGS3 2015, held in London, UK, in September 2015.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Global Security, Safety and Sustainability, ICGS3 2017, held in London, UK, in January, 2017. The 32 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 74 submissions. systems security, safety, and sustainability;

This book demonstrates the use of a wide range of strategic engineering concepts, theories and applied case studies to improve the safety, security and sustainability of complex and large-scale engineering and computer systems. It first details the concepts of system design, life cycle, impact assessment and security to show how these ideas can be brought to bear on the modeling, analysis and design of information systems with a focused view on cloud-computing systems and big data analytics. This informative book is a valuable resource for graduate students, researchers and industry-based practitioners working in engineering, information and business systems as well as strategy.
