SMART Ecosystem

The study explored Intelligent technologies such as block chain, internet of things, data analytics, artificial intelligence, and sensor fusion that are all necessary for smart cities and the sharing economy are now wide-spread. The Four Pillars of Productivity (4POP) framework is applied to determine the appropriate business positioning, given that these modern cities will very soon start to emerge and will make even greater use of the sharing economy. The financial gain, convenience, and overall quality of life improvements that the sharing economy can offer need to be fully realized. This will involve the sharing of almost all resources and skills, both in the home and work environments. Alignment with intelligent technology trends are considered; these include coordination of logistics and operations, digital governance, corporate culture, and smart urbanization effects on behavior and business practices. The paper also addresses the increased systematic risk and cybersecurity implications that come with complexity and uncertainty


SMART Classroom

The study explored how the world of connectivity can be integrated with the design of the future classroom to foster a better teaching and learning environment. The researchers explored how common classroom variables such as sound, temperature, shape, light, color, flooring, plants and so on can be leveraged to foster a better teaching and learning environment. In addition, the study also investigated how the new generation furniture can support modern pedagogical teaching and learning practices to maximize knowledge dissemination and retention. The study focused on the classroom design for higher education (both at the graduate and undergraduate levels), collected data from students and faculty members, and also made recommendations for subsequent steps.
