Designing Cognitive Cities

This book illustrates various aspects and dimensions of cognitive cities. Following a comprehensive introduction, the first part of the book explores conceptual considerations for the design of cognitive cities, while the second part focuses on concrete applications. The contributions provide an overview of the wide diversity of cognitive city conceptualizations and help readers to better understand why it is important to think about the design of our cities. The book adopts a transdisciplinary approach since the cognitive city concept can only be achieved through cooperation across different academic disciplines (e.g., economics, computer science, mathematics) and between research and practice. More and more people live in a growing number of ever-larger cities. As such, it is important to reflect on how cities need to be designed to provide their inhabitants with the means and resources for a good life. The cognitive city is an emerging, innovative approach to address thisneed.

Online reputation management deals with monitoring and influencing the online record of a person, an organization or a product. The Social Web offers increasingly simple ways to publish and disseminate personal or opinionated information, which can rapidly have a disastrous influence on the online reputation of some of the entities. The author focuses on the Social Web and possibilities of its integration with the Semantic Web as resource for a semi-automated tracking of online reputations using imprecise natural language terms. The inherent structure of natural language supports humans not only in communication but also in the perception of the world. Thereby fuzziness is a promising tool for transforming those human perceptions into computer artifacts. Through fuzzy grassroots ontologies, the Social Semantic Web becomes more naturally and thus can streamline online reputation management. For readers interested in the cross-over field of computer science, information systems, and social sciences, this book is an ideal source for becoming acquainted with the evolving field of fuzzy online reputation management in the Social Semantic Web area.

Die unscharfe Logik (Fuzzy Logic) erweitert die klassische Logik, indem neben den beiden Wahrheitswerten 1 für ‚wahr’ und 0 für ‚falsch’ alle Werte des Einheitsintervalls zugelassen sind. Die unscharfe Logik entspricht der menschlichen Wahrnehmung, da sie unsichere Sachverhalte oder vage Aussagen in einem Entscheidungsprozess mitberücksichtigt. Edy Portmann und Andreas Meier geben in diesem essential über Fuzzy Leadership einen Überblick zu Grundlagen der unscharfen Logik und zeigen das Potenzial in unterschiedlichen Anwendungen der digitalen Wirtschaft sowie in der Informations- und Wissensgesellschaft auf. Die Autoren:Prof. Dr. Edy Portmann ist Swiss Post Professor of Computer Science am Human-IST Institut der Universität Fribourg, Schweiz. In seiner Forschung beschäftigt er sich mit Fragen rund um Informationssysteme, -verarbeitung und -beschaffung. Prof. Dr. Andreas Meier leitete in den Jahren 1999 bis 2018 den Lehrstuhl für Wirtschaftsinformatik an der Universität Fribourg, Schweiz. Seine Forschungsgebiete waren eBusiness, eGovernment und Informationsmanagement.
