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:  

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. 

This book provides a structured overview of contemporary sustainable organisational practices. It examines the contemporary sustainability landscape within the pillars of environment, economy and society and provides case examples for each topic. The book features discussions on sustainable governance and strategy, systems approach, and social responsibility. 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 is suitable for scholars, researchers, academics, and policy makers interested in sustainability and organisational management and practice.

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. The papers are organized in topical sections on the future of digital forensics; cyber intelligence and operation; information systems security management; systems security, safety, and sustainability; cyber infrastructure protection. 

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.
