Wie beeinflussen virtuelle Umgebungen das gesellschaftliche Zusammenleben und was ist eine „Virtual Production Intelligence“? Mit welchen Awarenessfunktionen ist die Wirklichkeit in virtuellen Welten nachzubilden? Haben virtuelle Unternehmen eigene Organisationskulturen? Wie lässt sich Virtualität konstruktivistisch deuten? Durch die digitale Revolution bestimmt Virtualität seit Jahren nicht nur zunehmend unser Privatleben, sondern spielt auch in verschiedenen Wissenschaftsdisziplinen eine bedeutende Rolle. Sie bietet nicht nur neue Möglichkeiten und Perspektiven, sondern gibt auch Anlass, die Konsequenzen für Wissenschaft, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft zu betrachten. Dieser Band stellt die Ergebnisse einer interdisziplinären Fachkonferenz zum Thema Virtualität der RWTH Aachen University vor.

The capability to innovate in an on-going manner is emerging as a decisive key factor in today's world of business and work. The ability to stay competitive is becoming identical with the ability to innovate. This book originated from the research and development project “International Monitoring” and outlines the topic of innovative capability from a practice-oriented angle. Contributions of German and international experts offer an enlightening glimpse behind the scenes of innovations. The central issue is not the description of features of successful innovation processes or how innovations can be efficiently controlled and managed, but under which conditions they can emerge in the first place. In what way can individuals, organizations, networks and societies be enabled to continuously induce innovations?

Provides the foundations and principles needed for addressing the various challenges of developing smart cities Smart cities are emerging as a priority for research and development across the world. They open up significant opportunities in several areas, such as economic growth, health, wellness, energy efficiency, and transportation, to promote the sustainable development of cities. This book provides the basics of smart cities, and it examines the possible future trends of this technology. Smart Cities: Foundations, Principles, and Applications provides a systems science perspective in presenting the foundations and principles that span multiple disciplines for the development of smart cities. Divided into three parts—foundations, principles, and applications—Smart Cities addresses the various challenges and opportunities of creating smart cities and all that they have to offer. It also covers smart city theory modeling and simulation, and examines case studies of existing smart cities from all around the world. In addition, the book: Addresses how to develop a smart city and how to present the state of the art and practice of them all over the world Focuses on the foundations and principles needed for advancing the science, engineering, and technology of smart cities—including system design, system verification, real-time control and adaptation, Internet of Things, and test beds Covers applications of smart cities as they relate to smart transportation/connected vehicle (CV) and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) for improved mobility, safety, and environmental protection Smart Cities: Foundations, Principles, and Applications is a welcome reference for the many researchers and professionals working on the development of smart cities and smart city-related industries.

Die Fähigkeit kontinuierlich Innovationen hervorzubringen avanciert zum Schlüsselfaktor der heutigen Wirtschafts- und Arbeitswelt. Die Frage nachhaltiger Wettbewerbsfähigkeit wird mehr und mehr zur Frage der Innovationsfähigkeit. Das vorliegende Buch entstand im Rahmen des Forschungs- und Entwicklungsprojekts „International Monitoring“ und skizziert das Themenfeld Innovationsfähigkeit aus praxisorientierter Perspektive. Die Beiträge deutscher und internationaler Experten bieten dabei einen aufschlussreichen Blick hinter die Kulissen von Innovationen. Die zentrale Frage ist demnach nicht, wie Merkmale erfolgreicher Innovationsprozesse aussehen oder wie Innovationen effizient gesteuert und gemanagt werden können, sondern unter welchen Bedingungen sie überhaupt erst entstehen. Auf welche Weise also können Individuen, Organisationen, Netzwerke und Gesellschaften zur kontinuierlichen Erzeugung von Innovationen befähigt werden?
