This paper focuses on the questions raised through the work of Unit 5: ‘In/Out Crisis, emergent and adaptive’; an architectural research-based studio at [ARC] University of Nicosia. Students were asked to delve into state of Art Technologies in order to propose sustainable Emergent and Adaptive Architectures and Urbanities, the resulting unprecedented spatial conditions and atmospheres of the e...

Inversion mutation is a typical genetic operator for combinatorial problems like the traveling salesman problem (TSP). It reverses the tour between two randomly chosen cities. Here, we propose a self-adaptive variant of inversion mutation. Self-adaptation is a successful control technique for the mutation strength. Up to now, the concept of self-adaptation has not been applied to inversion muta...

The world is moving toward a new connected in which millions of intelligent processing devices communicate with each other to provide services transportation, telecommunication, and power grids the future’s smart cities. Distributed computing considered one efficient platforms for management massive amounts data collected by devices. This can be implemented utilizing multi-agent systems (MASs) ...

The ozone level prediction is an important task of air quality agencies of modern cities. In this paper, we design an ozone level alarm system (OLP) for Isfahan city and test it through the real word data from 1/1/2000 to 7/6/2011. We propose a computer based system with three inputs and single output. The inputs include three sensors of solar ultraviolet (UV), total solar radiation (TSR) and t...

Smart Cities, Agents, Intelligent Systems This article presents an adaptive platform that can simulate the centralized control of different smart city areas. For example, public lighting and intelli-gent management, public zones of buildings, energy distribution, etc. It can operate the hardware infrastructure and perform optimization both in energy consumption and economic control from a modul...

This paper presents the concept of personalized routing scheme with failover management in the transmission path of data which is very much required for successful transmission and reception of data traveling on the routes at a faster rate in smart cities. The basic requirement of internet of thing concept is to increase efficiency to design efficient routing algorithm for smart cities. The pro...

This paper introduces a new approach for the design, deployment and operation of information and communication technology infrastructure for what we conceived as “Programmable Cities”. We address how urban environments can be retrofitted and complemented with technology considering the core nature of cities being systems of systems and complex adaptive systems. We believe that this novel approa...
