The rapid development and growth of knowledge has resulted in a rich stream of literature on various topics. Information systems (IS) research is becoming increasingly extensive, complex, and heterogeneous. Therefore, a proper understanding and timely analysis of the existing body of knowledge are important to identify emerging topics and research gaps. Despite the advances of information technology in the context of big data, machine learning, and text mining, the implementation of systematic literature reviews (SLRs) is in most cases still a purely manual task. This might lead to serious shortcomings of SLRs in terms of quality and time. The outlined approach in this paper supports the process of SLRs with machine learning techniques. For this purpose, we develop a framework with embedded steps of text mining, cluster analysis, and network analysis to analyze and structure a large amount of research literature. Although the framework is presented using IS research as an example, it is not limited to the IS field but can also be applied to other research areas.
On the design of an urban data and modeling platform and its application to urban district analyses
(2020)
An integrated urban platform is the essential software infrastructure for smart, sustainable and resilitent city planning, operation and maintenance. Today such platforms are mostly designed to handle and analyze large and heterogeneous urban data sets from very different domains. Modeling and optimization functionalities are usually not part of the software concepts. However, such functionalities are considered crucial by the authors to develop transformation scenarios and to optimized smart city operation. An urban platform needs to handle multiple scales in the time and spatial domain, ranging from long term population and land use change to hourly or sub-hourly matching of renewable energy supply and urban energy demand.
Urban platforms are essential for smart and sustainable city planning and operation. Today they are mostly designed to handle and connect large urban data sets from very different domains. Modelling and optimisation functionalities are usually not part of the cities software infrastructure. However, they are considered crucial for transformation scenario development and optimised smart city operation. The work discusses software architecture concepts for such urban platforms and presents case study results on the building sector modelling, including urban data analysis and visualisation. Results from a case study in New York are presented to demonstrate the implementation status.
