Vědomí je klíčovou záhadou moderní vědy. Dosud ale neexistuje jeho jednoznačná definice. Kniha se zabývá otázkou vědomí z mnoha různých pohledů ve formě esejů: od textů filosofických, křesťanských, buddhistických a spiritualistických přes eseje z oblasti biologie, psychiatrie, neurologie, genetiky či neurochirurgie až po názory fyziků, kybernetiků, robotiků a odborníků na umělou inteligenci. Jednotícím prvkem všech těchto pohledů se zdá být jak nezbytnost přítomnosti tzv. vnitřního pozorovatele, který pozoruje, hodnotí a prožívá vlastní činnost jedince, tak i schopnost jedince vědomě si stanovovat cíle a „vnitřní nutkání“ směřovat k těmto cílům. Tyto schopnosti však nejsou a nemohou být vlastní počítačům dnešní von Neumannovy architektury ani neživým systémům obecně. Proto umělé vědomí strojů (zatím) nelze realizovat a musíme se spokojit pouze s jeho více či méně věrnou počítačovou simulací v podobě náhražky, tedy strojového vědomí. Bez umělého vědomí nemůže nikdy nastat obávaná vzpoura strojů proti člověku, takzvaná Kurzweilova singularita. Výzkum vědomí pomáhá postupně posouvat hranice výzkumu i v oblasti obecné umělé inteligence (AGI).

This study investigates the effect of meteorological conditions on the traffic flow and its speed in Prague, with a focus on variations in temperature and precipitation. Using data from strategic traffic detectors operated by the municipality of Prague and sensors from the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute, it explores the correlations between weather fluctuations and traffic flow parameters. The findings reveal an influence of weather on traffic flow behavior, revealing that extremes in temperature and precipitation significantly affect both traffic flow and speed. This research contributes to a deeper comprehension of the mobility of humans and goods (city logistics) within urban settings. Importantly, it underscores the necessity of integrating meteorological data into transport management and planning, particularly in the context of ongoing climate changes.

The goal of the paper is to introduce a universal approach for cal culating integrated information assessment (IIA) in complex systems by utilizing the geometric product from geometric algebra (GA). Traditional models of con sciousness try to explain how neural networks and cognitive processes give rise to a unified conscious experience. Quantum mechanics (QM) could provide a framework for understanding this integration by suggesting that conscious experience arises from entangled states across different system parts. Thanks to the high redundancy of neural networks, it is possible to realize different variants of cognitive processes in parallel and switch between them as needed. This opens up the possibility of hypothetically creating non-separable (not necessarily non-local) entangled models without requiring a quantum environment. The described IIA algorithm is derived from the assessment of entanglement in QM systems using GA. The results are shown on a set of illustrative examples.

Autoři knihy Proč se nebát umělé inteligence? nabízejí střízlivý a odborně podložený pohled na současný stav a perspektivy umělé inteligence (AI). Čtenář se ve srozumitelné podobě dozví, na jakých technologických základech AI stojí, jaká je její historie a jak probíhá zpracování přirozené řeči ve velkých jazykových modelech. Kniha rovněž ukazuje, jak aplikace AI už dnes slouží v průmyslu, zdravotnictví, robotice či v oblasti kybernetické bezpečnosti a jak konkrétně je možné AI využít například ve státní správě či ve službách. Řada příspěvků je věnována filozofickým úvahám o roli a možnostech umělých strojů, etice a právu při jejich využívání. Proč se nebát umělé inteligence? je soubor esejí, které připravili nejen čeští odborníci v jednotlivých oblastech AI. Vyvracejí mýty, přehnaná očekávání a uměle vyvolané obavy, a naopak zdůrazňují její užitečnost a využitelnost. Možná vás překvapí, že český přínos k rozvoji této zajímavé vědní disciplíny vůbec není zanedbatelný. Kniha je určena všem, kteří se v důsledku neadekvátní „popularizace“ obávají prudkého nástupu umělé inteligence. Na své si přijdou i ti, kteří se v té či oné míře s umělou inteligencí dennodenně setkávají, včetně IT odborníků, studentů všech typů škol i pracovníků v průmyslu, službách či státní správě. Eseje na sebe přímo nenavazují, jsou nezávislé a lze je číst v jakémkoliv pořadí či kterékoliv vynechat. Každý si může najít to, co ho nejvíce zajímá.

Air pollution in cities and the possibilities of reducing this pollution represent one of the most important factors that today’s society has to deal with. This paper focuses on a systemic approach to traffic emissions with their relation to meteorological conditions, analyzing the effect of weather on the quantity and dispersion of traffic emissions in a city. Using fuzzy inference systems (FIS) the model for predicting changes in emissions depending on various conditions is developed. The proposed model is based on traffic, meteorology, and emission data measured in Prague, Czech Republic. The main objective of the work is to provide insight into how urban planners and policymakers can plan and manage urban transportation more efficiently with environmental protection in mind.

Článek se zabývá transformací funkcí železničních stanic a jejich redevolepmentem navazujícím na koncept chytrých měst a regionů. Využití budov železničních stanic se mění s ohledem na současné trendy, které jsou tvořeny kromě digitalizace také udržitelností, posilováním resilience, decentralizace a úsilím o zapojení místních komunit. O moderní železniční dopravě a o změně využití původních výpravních budov se začalo hovořit v 90. letech minulého století. Některé původní zejména provozní a ekonomické funkce zanikají a některé zcela odlišné, především sociokulturní vznikají. Na přelomu 20. a 21. století prošla železniční doprava v Evropě významnými změnami, které se významně odrazily v rozvoji osobní i nákladní dopravy. Klíčovou roli při prosazování těchto změn sehrála Evropská unie, která v roce 1991 iniciovala rozdělení provozování dráhy od provozování drážní dopravy a služeb pro cestující. Mezitím se vlastnictví a správa budov paralelně přesouvala z unitárních železničních podniků na provozovatele (manažery) infrastruktury. Nyní ale EU definuje pojem manažer stanice (station manager). EU ponechává zřízení a formu station managera na rozhodnutí členských států, tímto manažerem může být dopravce, správce infrastruktury, ale také úplně jiný subjekt, jako např. developer, obec atp. Manažer stanice se stará o údržbu, rozvoj a provoz těchto stanic a všech jejich zařízení a zajišťuje, aby plně vyhovovaly potřebám veřejnosti, kterou tvoří většinou cestující, v poslední době se ale s vytvářením nových funkcí připojují místní komunity i noví přirození stakeholdeři z blízkého okolí. V rámci článku budou představeny a metodologicky popsány modelové příklady dobré praxe při naplňování uživatelských potřeb, které vznikly po redevelopmentu vybraných železničních stanic.

Cities evolved into quite complex urban systems. The rigid management process must reflect the complexity of the current political, social, and economic environment. With the vast city growth, citizens experience new difficulties – traffic congestion, pollution, immigration, overcrowding, and inadequate services. In our research, we analyze problems and benefits that occur with the growing complexity and offer a new concept considering every city as a live and constantly developing complex adaptive system of many participants and actors that operate in an uncertain environment. These actors (residents, businesses, transport, energy, water supply providers, entertainment, and others) are the main elements of city life. The new concept of “Smart City 5.0” is based on a previously developed model of Smart City 4.0 (compared with Industry 4.0) and implements the Urban Digital Ecosystem, where every element can be represented by a smart agent operating on its behalf. It is shown that smart services can interact vertically and horizontally in the proposed ecosystem, supporting competition and cooperation behavior based on specialized network protocols for balancing the conflicting interests of different city actors. The chapter describes the design principles and the general architecture of the Urban Digital Ecosystem, including the basic agent of smart service, protocols of the agent’s negotiation, the architecture, and basic principles Smart City knowledge base. The developed evolutionary methodology of implementation will ensure a minimum of disruptions to city services during its transformation into an urban ecosystem to harmoniously balance all spheres of life and the contradictory interests of different city actors.

Cities’ population growth goes in hand with the development of new technologies that are becoming the key factor of the Smart City (SC) concept. It allows the implementation of efficient management solutions, operation, and sustainable development of a city to face the challenges of urbanization and improve the services for the citizens and visitors. The concept of the SC 5.0 was first presented in Svítek, Skobelev, and Kozhevnikov (2020), where the problems of the complexity of current cities due to rigid management processes, variety of infrastructure, and SC modules, systems, subsystems, and applications were described. To prove the concept, several practical examples were developed to cover the topics: modeling in SCs, practical implementation of multiagent technologies, the approach of creating city ontology and the city knowledge base as the instrument of semantic interoperability, and visualization possibilities of Smart Evropská as a SC Testbed used for teaching purposes. The new organizational structure is proposed based on knowledge graphs, and practical examples are shown. The applicability of knowledge graphs to be used in combination with data management platforms for monitoring SC key performance indicators (KPIs) and providing interoperability of services is presented.

This paper explores the future of intersections with a novel approach to traffic control and management. Our research delves into the concept of Smart Intersections, introducing their levels of increasing "smartness," and their potential impact on traffic flow and safety. From static control to advanced data collection and I2X communication, our findings offer a glimpse into a future where intersections are a key player in urban mobility. The benefits of implementing Smart Intersections include improved traffic flow, reduced congestion, increased safety, and more efficient use of resources. Our research highlights the potential for Smart Intersections to improve public transportation through bus and train prioritization at intersections. Building off this, Smart Intersections could also inform individual actors in advance and communicate the current status of traffic as well as gather additional data. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of Smart Intersections, from their current state to the highest level of smartness, and the steps necessary to make this technology a reality in a real-life example. It also explores alternative possibilities, such as multi-agent systems, and their possible application in Smart Intersections.

This paper presents the generalized information system theory, which is enlarged into pure quantum systems using wave probability functions. The novelty of this approach is based on analogies with electrical circuits and quantum physics. Information power was chosen as the relevant parameter, which guarantees the balance of both components—information flow and information content. Next, the principles of quantum resonance between individual information components, which can lead to emergent behavior, are analyzed. For such a system, adding more and more probabilistic information elements can lead to better convergence of the whole to the resulting trajectory due to phase parameters. The paper also offers an original interpretation of information “source–recipient” or “resource–demand” models, including not yet implemented “unused resources” and “unmet demands”. Finally, possible applications of these principles are shown in several examples from the quantum gyrator to the hypothetical possibility of explaining some properties of the consciousness.

Among the main fundamental challenges related to physics and human intelligence are: How can we reconcile the free will with the deterministic character of physical equations? What is the physical meaning of extra spatial dimensions needed to make quantum physics consistent? and Why are we often smarter than brain-simulating neural networks? In this paper, we show that while each of these challenges is difficult to resolve on its own, it may be possible to resolve all three of them if we consider them together. The proposed possible solution is that human reasoning uses the extra spatial dimensions. This may sound weird, but in this paper, we explain that this solution is much more natural than how it sounds at first glance.

The Smart City concept for many years has relied on the principals of stainable development and implementing of information and communication technologies (ICT) for city services. With the COVID pandemic the paradigm shifted tremendously and the city governments, as well as scientists have to focus more on resilience strategies. The city managers now should make their decisions in conditions of limited information, unavailability to see and plan future development, maintain “what if” analysis to predict the results. Considering the Smart City as a complex system the new approach and digital platform that combines both sustainable and resilient modes of behavior are presented. This platform allows to perform normally in a sustainable mode and react adaptively when unpredictable events occur in the resilient mode.

Urban areas are growing all over the world. As a consequence, a larger volume of people and goods has to move to a larger number of different locations on a daily basis. This leads to more traffic congestion, longer commutes, use of different travel modalities, and increasing pollution. There is thus a need for more intelligent transportation and smart infrastructure, as well as changes in travel behavior.

Smart Cities seek to optimize their systems by increasing integration through approaches such as increased interoperability, seamless system integration, and automation. Thus, they have the potential to deliver substantial efficiency gains and eliminate redundancy. To add to the complexity of the problem, the integration of systems for efficiency gains may compromise the resilience of an urban system. This all needs to be taken into consideration when thinking about Smart Cities. The transportation field must also apply the principles and concepts mentioned above. This cannot be understood without considering its links and effects on other components of an urban system. New technologies allow for new means of travel to be built, and new business models allow for the existing ones to be utilized. This Special Issue puts together papers with different focuses, but all of them tackle the topic of smart mobility.

The intensive economic and social development of smart cities faces the constraints of stable utility provision. This paper presents a multiagent client-centric smart grid management system for integrated gas, heat and electricity networks. The system is based on the new approach of agent’s negotiation implementing the strategies of straight and reverse recursion planning. It can be used as part of the Smart grid and Micro grid concepts to reduce the price for consumers and decrease the negative impact of peak loads for the suppliers. This approach corresponds to the fundamental principles of modern complexity theory, which uses the fundamental principles of self-organization and evolution inherent in the natural world.

Airports worldwide are dealing with application of anti-epidemic measures, that lead to decreased capacity of airport terminals. Passengers are obliged to observe physical distancing and other rules, which in combination with longer service times at checks and controls lead to congestions in front of airport processors. This study aims to introduce new solutions for queue management at smart airports, that belong to the Smart Cities concept. The preliminary idea of buffer zones as waiting areas for passengers, that cannot be allowed to enter overcrowded areas, especially queues, brings new opportunities and benefits for both passengers and the airport. Based on performed simulations in the developed model, authors defined two types of buffer zones and determined the optimum time limit to distinguish between the two types of buffer zones. The paper brings theoretical and practical approach to use of buffer zones in real airport operations.

This review paper gives a brief introduction to Smart City Logistics and uses different sources to ultimately present recommendations for Prague city to achieve better solutions in the area. With large numbers of people expected to move to cities in the coming thirty years, smart logistics will become even more important than it is today. Four different projects from three different cities in Europe are described, ITSLOG and SAILOR projects from Amsterdam, SmartPort from Hamburg and the Dachser project from Stuttgart. The benefits and learnings from these projects are presented with an additional SWOT-analysis which presents the opportunities and threats that could come with similar implementations in Prague. Recommendations based on the findings regarding smart loading zones, micro-hubs, and virtual depots and how they could be implemented in Prague are made. It turns out that their implementation could give several benefits for Prague and help the city become more smart, both in terms of logistics, but also in other ways.

The Smart Grid (SG) concept provides new services for citizens by exploiting the available resources and demonstrates a significant potential from the economic and business value viewpoint. In a real-time economy, it should act as a real-time solution. That means the adaptive reaction to all unpredictable events in the SG and real-time rescheduling the consumption and production plan (especially on peak or idle run hours). SG as the concept and software instrument can be applied not only for energy but also for all other resources, including gas and water. This paper presents a prototype of a multiagent system for adaptive planning of gas, water, and energy resources. We show that real-time services based on a multiagent engine working as an open market for all consumers and suppliers interacting in one SG can help provide better service and high efficiency and be a vital element of the Smart City concept.

Current intelligent transport systems (ITS) and trends in their development are weekly consider all involved elements and do not cover the topic of cooperative work of services. In this paper the concept of the cooperative ITS as a digital ecosystem (DE) of services, sensors, hardware devices and users is presented. This paper proposes a new approach based on the theory of complex adaptive systems and bio-inspired artificial intelligence (AI), which can show emergent intelligence behaviour. The proposed approach and software platform should not only integrate all smart transport services, but also provide control, self-organization and evolution of ITS. The software platform developed as DE enables physical or virtual organizations provide core services based on real time schedules and current state of their resources automatically, reactively or pro-actively, and only to the customers interested in these services. It will increase the service level for clients, reduce costs and delivery time, improve scalability, performance and reliability of ITS.

The current pandemic situation caused that airports need to adapt their operational processes to new health protection measures that include for example physical distancing, use of face masks or more detailed cleaning and disinfection of airport terminals. Airport infrastructure is usually not designed for the full application of physical distancing principles. A model and an application were created in order to simulate the expected space per person in the arriving corridors of the terminal according to the imported flight schedule. The output of the model allows calculating of the decrease of airport operational performance in case of implementation of physical distancing principles. The results of the model also help to improve the efficiency of the use of space in airport terminals.

The paper describes the problematic points in the service area, divides the territory and the transport lines on it. At the same time, it brings a new perspective on transport service and describes the necessary modifications to make the new proposed transport system feasible into real operation. It is assumed that the output will be a relevant basis for the actual implementation in real operation.

Information Physics: Physics-Information and Quantum Analogies for Complex Modeling presents a new theory of complex systems that uses analogy across various aspects of physics, including electronics, magnetic circuits and quantum mechanics. The book explains the quantum approach to system theory that can be understood as an extension of classical system models. The main idea is that in many complex systems there are incomplete pieces of overlapping information that must be strung together to find the most consistent model. This incomplete information can be understood as a set of non-exclusive observer results. Because they are non-exclusive, each observer registers different pictures of reality.

owadays, urban road tunnels are considered to be independent entities within a city. Their interactions with the rest of the city and vice versa are usually not considered and, if they are, are only considered in a limited way (for example, through the nearest traffic controller). Typically, only the traffic parameters and not the environmental impacts are considered. This paper has two major objectives. First, we provide a systemic view on a road urban tunnel. The major focus is on the interfaces between the tunnel and the rest of the city and the way they will be managed. We are providing a tool to take into consideration a sustainable development of a tunnel (i.e., not only traffic flow parameters such as average speed, but also environmental and societal characteristics). This model expresses the actual traffic situation in a monetary form (i.e., cost of congestions). The second objective is to provide a new road urban tunnel control approach that follows the original methodology and systemic view described in the paper. If the tunnel is controlled autonomously, which corresponds to the current state-of-the-art in many cities, the algorithm decides to close it based on only local parameters. However, the proposed new algorithm takes into consideration not only the traffic situation in the tunnel (expressed by the parameter traffic density), but also the actual traffic situation within the city (expressed by its level of service (LOS)). This allows more environmentally, socially and economically sustainable oriented road urban tunnel management. The described algorithm is demonstrated on a specific example of the tunnel complex Blanka in Prague.

The Smart City concept now entirely relies on information and communication technologies (ICT) with projects providing new or better services for city residents. The resilience of a city, from our perspective, should also rely on ICT. Resilience as a service implies predictive modelling and “what if” analysis for better reaction at unpredictable events and providing emergency services in critical modes of city life. Resilience as a property of a city means working as normally as possible for citizens when extreme events occur and also adaptively react and change the system’s behavior when normal mode has no chance to be applied. This paper provides a review and analysis of the resilient properties of existing Smart City frameworks and offers a new concept of a resilient city based on the Demand-Resource (DR) model, multi-agent system (MAS) and ontologies. The main idea of this concept is to create an ICT framework that is resilient by design. For this, it should operate as a digital ecosystem of smart services. The framework development process is divided into two main steps: first to create Smart City simulation software for modelling, planning, and strategic assessment of urban areas as a set of models at different levels of abstraction. The second step involves the full integration of all services in one dynamic adaptive real-time digital ecosystem with resilient properties.

This paper discusses how Smart Logistics could be linked with the Smart Border concept earlier proposed for the El Paso-Ciudad Juarez bi-national metropolitan area. The focus is on the international road and pedestrian bridges connecting these two cities as these were identified as bottlenecks for cross-border movement of goods and cross-border mobility of people. The proposal presents the basic strategic and operative framework. Examples of smart logistics measures that could be implemented on the border and beyond the border such as autonomous vehicles, micro depots and crowd shipping are presented and discussed. The paper shall be understood as the case for the cross-border logistics in relation to the Smart Border concept and as the starting point for further exploration.

With ever-changing cities and growing populations it becomes progressively more difficult to assess which infrastructural changes are beneficial and which are possibly destructive long-term. It is almost impossible to find experts that understand the wide range of aspects surrounding smart cities as well as their interrelationships. Decision makers need a tool that helps them to set certain policies and evaluate their impact on key performance indicators (KPIs). This paper presents a multicriteria evaluation method based on assessing infrastructural changes in the city combining different modeling tools to gather sufficient data to assess and evaluate different alternatives. The proposed approach is demonstrated on a case study from Prague 6, Vitêzné námêsti.

This paper elaborates on the area of physical information analogies and introduces new features such as the distance between wave probabilistic functions or sets of new information quantities such as strength, strength moment, strength potential energy and generalized charge. New parameters are used to define the rules for a quantum node. The knowledge cycle, which is equivalent to the Otto thermodynamic cycle, is adopted for modeling of the soft systems together with its static and dynamic information stability. Looking at the closed knowledge cycle, the evolutionary field equivalent to a magnetic field is therefore determined.

Traditionally, cities evolved over time into current quite rigid urban conurbations. As complexity of our political, social and economic environment increases, cities begin to experience new pressures - traffic congestion, pollution, immigration, overcrowding, inadequacy of services, to mention just a few, which affect both citizens and visitors. Digital technology now exists that we could use to turn rigid cities into Urban Ecosystems. The paper provides an updated definition of Smart City as an Urban Ecosystem, it analyses problems experienced by cities caused by complexity of the Internet-based global economy and describes an advanced solution - to design cities as urban ecosystems capable of delivering services to citizens and visitors under conditions of complexity. The authors have developed an evolutionary methodology that ensure a minimum of disruptions to city services during its transformation into an urban ecosystem. Design of Smart City ontology is provided as an example.

Smart city has several definitions. Typically, it is an alliance of subsystems that have following objectives: improvement of quality of life of citizens, better use of limited resources and best use of existing infrastructure. Transportation as one of the most important subsystems shall be thus understood as one player working together with energy management, economy, eGovernment, and others. Synergy is the key to successful implementation. In order to be able to aim at the joint objective function and any synergy, the different subsystems must “understand” each other. Ontology has been acknowledged to be the most common tool to do that. To prepare an ontology for a domain (for example transportation) is a complicated task. In order to do that in a city, where there are several subsystems with complex behaviour is even more challenging. It is very difficult if not impossible to get experts from different fields to prepare a common ontology. In this paper we address the issue of Smart City Design and propose a pragmatic method to prepare an ontological knowledge system using the knowledge of various expert groups. A new concept, so call a knowledge matrix, is defined and used to enable cooperation of experts from different fields. We believe this can further help in implementation of any smart city projects. In order to demonstrate the approach, transportation domain is used as an example for the ontology design. The approach will be further validated within two case studies that are also introduced within this paper: Smart Evropská street in Prague and within a project Smart City – Smart Region – Smart Community, where a transport behavioristic model is being developed based on the ontology described within this paper.

In this paper, Smart City is described as a live and constantly developing complex adaptive system operating in an uncertain environment with many participants and actors involved. The vision of the "Smart City 5.0" concept as an ecosystem of smart services based on multi-agent technology is presented. lt is characterized by the cooperation of Artificial Intelligence sys­tems and humans, and can harmoniously balance all spheres of life and con­tradictory interests of different city actors. In this concept, each smart service is presented by an autonomous agent. They can compete or cooperate with each other through a service bus and internet both vertically and horizontally on the basis of specialized protocols. Top-level services can be constructed as auton­omous multi-agent systems of a lower level, where an agent can recursively reveal a new service for itself. The paper describes the design principals and the general architecture of the digital platform including the basic agent of smart service, the architecture and basic principles of smart city ontologies and knowledge base. The paper shows how the platform can support the decision­making life cycle for managing any urban object and the adaptive behaviour of Smart City 5.0 is compared with the fixed scenarios Smart City 4.0.

In the Smart City concept, it is beneficial to have a part of a city ready to use as a testbed (or better yet, a representative sample common for all cities). In this paper we offer a new approach for Smart City testbeds that will help analyze positive and negative consequences and show the opportunities of implementing new technologies. We analyze Smart City testbeds from a system science point of view and consider all important aspects and overlapping environments. By representing a Smart City as a working system of multiple actors or agents, we can achieve equilibrium in such aspects by making sure a proper topography and ontology are described and upheld.

The paper presents the new approach to wave composition rules for advanced modeling of soft systems in quantum system theory. Firstly, the interpretation of phase parameters is given. The phase parameters are essential to specify the mathematical operations assigned to different relations among subsystems, e.g. co-operation, connection, co-existence, competition. Using wave composition rules, we are able to create more complex and sophisticated quantum circuits. We present the application of methodology on three illustrative examples.

In the paper, the new vision of “Smart City 5.0” is presented. It is based on a previously developed model of Smart City 4.0 and implementing the concept of the complex adaptive system for balancing conflict interests of different city actors. These actors can include business, transport, energy and water supply providers, entertainment and other services and can be unified based on resource and demand model. The paper describes the general principals, functionality and the architecture of the digital multi-agent platform for creating eco-system of “Smart City 5.0”. It is designed as holonic p2p network of smart services and technological components for supporting demand-resource relations. It is shown that in proposed eco-system smart services can interact both vertically and horizontally supporting competition and cooperation behavior on the basis of specialized protocols of p2p network. In the future, each smart service is considered as an autonomous cyber-physical multi-agent system which can be decomposed on a lower level of smaller services recursively. The first prototypes of smart services and their interaction are presented, the next steps for future research work are outlined.

—Smart City is now widely discussed and applied to all disciplines where Public transport is one of them. The aim of this paper is to define dynamic public transport in Smart City and describe transport organisation using multi-agent systems based on different data sources. Input parameters from the sensor network represent on-line demand for public transport. The better understanding of the demand for public transport the better offer can public transport operator provide to citizens. The more satisfied costumers the more attractive will be the public transport in the city. The dynamic public transport offer is computed by multi-agent system that continuously process all available on-line data and propose dynamic routes and time-schedules of different public transport means (small buses, etc.).

Nowadays the term Smart City is widely used and almost every city aims to become “Smart”. Unfortunately, the definitions of what Smart means differ and there is not a single accepted one. Often a technocratic view is adopted and the actual goal—make city more liveable—is not kept in mind. In this paper, a new approach to initiate and develop Smart City model is provided. A unified model is one way to describe the processes within such complex and heterogeneous system as Smart City. It is based on the similarity to the well-established framework called ITS (Intelligent Transport System) architecture. First, an overview of the Smart City initiatives and key principles that often require change of the way how we think of projects is provided. Further, the objectives and approach to national ITS architectures are described and discussed, mainly aiming on its limitations for the practical use especially in the context of Smart Cities. Finally, this paper provides a guidance on how a Smart City Architecture shall be established to overcome the system complexity and to reduce its dimension in terms of volume of required data flow. The new approach is based on decentralized intelligence, where a number of processes are carried out at the level of so-called building blocks. Multi-agent systems are proposed as a design tool for the particular building blocks.

This chapter summarizes the theory of complex systems that comes basically from physical - information analogies. The information components and gates are defined in a similar way as components in electrical circuits. Such an approach enables the creation of complex networks through their serial, parallel or feedback ordering. Taking into account wave probabilistic functions (the mathematical instrument of quantum physics), we can enrich the complex system theory with features such as entanglement, parallelism, interference, etc. It is shown on illustrative examples that such approach can explain emergencies or self-organization properties of complex systems.

Each city has its distinctive features that need to be considered when designing a smart concept. Typically, these features include geography, climate or historical development. This paper shows the example of El Paso – Ciudad Juárez bi-national metropolitan area divided by an artificial (administrative) boundary, in this case national border, yet there is a significant mobility of people and goods between these two cities. System approach is applied on the border itself and the surrounding boundary area. The boundary functions are defined followed by a case study of the El Paso – Ciudad Juárez bi-national metropolitan area with focus on cross border road bridges and rail infrastructure. A high-level smart border concept is outlined including a smart border crossing system.

El Paso, TX, USA and Ciudad Juárez, Mexico form the largest bi-national metropolitan area in the United States and Mexico. Currently, both cities rely on separate public transit bus networks that are not linked and the only cross-border connection is available through three major international bridges opened for cars and pedestrian traffic. In 2017, the City of El Paso adopted the Resilience Strategic Plan to make El Paso smarter. The plan proposes among others the development of Rapid Transit System Corridors in El Paso. This paper presents a high-level proposal how a passenger rail system could be used to complement the existing and future Bus Rapid Transit system as well as local circulator bus system. The proposed rail network is intended for passenger transportation in El Paso, but also beyond into the surrounding region including a cross-border link to Ciudad Juárez, without which the network cannot be considered complete.

The last mile problem is crucially important for big cities because it is difficult to find the ideal balance between different criteria: the mobility of people, comfort and unique characteristics of every person, the profit of transport system and other criteria in more complex models. To solve this problem for dynamic (not fixed) routes part, we offer to use ontological description of citizens and transport system for matching and multi agent technologies to plan different types of transport. To prove the idea a prototype of an intelligent multiagent transport system matcher was created. Based on a simple model with basic Person, Transport and Infrastructure description we proved the feasibility of the approach. In this paper for the first time, we present the Smart Transport System as a personal service provided for citizens. The main idea of the work to make a step for changing the current paradigm where people adjust their plans for transport schedules. The new paradigm will show how smart transport can provide personal service to every citizen according to their needs.

In many practical situations, it turns out to be beneficial to use techniques from quantum physics in describing non-quantum complex systems. For example, quantum techniques have been very successful in econometrics and, more generally, in describing phenomena related to human decision making. In this paper, we provide a possible explanation for this empirical success. We also show how to modify quantum formulas to come up with an even more accurate descriptions of the corresponding phenomena.

Preparing the next generation of engineers, scientists and decision makers requires the development of new teaching strategies that follow smart cities philosophy: collaborative, inclusive and focused on specific needs of the region. The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), USA and University of Guadalajara (UdeG), Mexico, addressed the challenge of creating a new international course on smart cities study abroad program that leverages the long-term relationship of UTEP with Czech Technical University (CTU), Czech Republic, and industry partners in El Paso and Guadalajara, especially IBM Mexico. This program is highly interdisciplinary, involving four departments in the College of Engineering at UTEP and the Department of Information Systems, Centro Universitario de Ciencias Economico Administrativas at UdeG. Input from city officials in Guadalajara and El Paso along with industry partners was key in designing this novel program. Thirty-two students from UTEP and 32 from UdeG have successfully completed this program which will launch again on its third edition this year. The program included problem-based learning strategies as well as cultural, industry-led activities, culminating in a Smart Cities Hackathon competition. This articles reports on the planning, development and results of this study abroad program, challenges and lessons learned.

The theme of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and Smart City appears increasingly also in transport. The aim of this paper is to provide an approach for evaluation of smart solution in public transport. A solution using combination of dynamic service and the Big Data is described in more detail. This dynamic service is influenced by many parameters and one of them can be the movement of the population. The movement of the population can be monitored through the Big Data.

The paper presents an information model for representation of brain linear and nonlinear resonance phenomena based on information nullors. In the brain functions the rhythms and quasi periodicity of processes in neural networks play the outstanding (significant) role. It is why adaptive resonance theory (ART) including resonant effects has been studied for a long time by many authors. The periodicity in the transfers of signals between the long-term memory (LTM) and short-term memory (STM) creates a possibility of resonance system structure. LTM with information content representing expectations and STM covering sensory information in resonance process offer effective learning. Nonlinear adaptive resonance creates conditions for new knowledge, or inventory observation. In the paper this feature is newly modelled by an information gyrator that best fits these linear and non-linear phenomena.

In January 2018, Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU) and The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to jointly develop and implement a Dual Master Degrees program in Smart Cities. Since then, the program structure has been decided, and the management team hopes to start the program with the first cohort of students in August 2018. In this paper, the authors, who are the key leaders in the development of this program, share the history, program structure, enabling teaching facilities, and challenges with the readers.

The paper presents a theory of information systems based on advanced analogies with both classical and quantum physical models. In the first step the information analogies with magneto-electric circuits are introduced and the information parameters are defined under this inspiration. Well-known potential and flow values (e.g. potential and kinetic energy, voltage and electrical current, etc.) are transformed into information values, "information content" and "information flow". In the second step the quantum information models are introduced together with values "wave information flow" and "wave information content". By using these variables, the complex information models are described in more detail together with illustrative examples.

This paper is introducing a framework of Smart City 4.0 conceptual model, based on adoption and of Industry 4.0 Concept principles, characteristic and integration of computing technologies. Existing city systems are recently upgraded with latest ICT technologies through out of all their levels of infrastructure. New data are collected in big amounts and ability to use them is changing how systems will communicate together, to make cities work better and serve better to their users. Cities are under continuous development, in relation to attractiveness of city structure, based on all activities and transactions conducted in city area and related surrounding, newly also through connected virtual world. Upgrade of existing cities into Smart city level is necessity for urbanized areas to survive a competition for satisfied client. It means actively acting citizen, as part of multi-agent Cyber Physical System, participating on city development. Industry 4.0 Concept represents a future upgrade of one of city system segments. Integrating ICT and computing technologies throughout whole production enterprise enable to share data, information, and instructions between all agents during all phases of production value chain, where certain instructions are attached to product. Industry 4.0 concept includes six principles, which are also adopted by Smart City 4.0 concept. To evaluate and understand smartness level of multi agent systems and subsystems of Smart City and relations between them, authors are introducing Triangle Rule Diagram.

Cílem studie je přinést alternativní pohled na řešení a koncepci dopravy v Plzeňském kraji. V rámci řešené studie tak řešitelé nahlédli na současnou koncepci veřejné dopravy v Plzeňském kraji z jiného úhlu pohledu a předestřeli, jakým obecným způsobem lze jinak než dnes přistupovat k organizaci veřejné dopravy jak z pohledu samotného provozu (jízdní řády, návaznosti, četnost spojení), tak i z pohledu tarifu. Řešená studie tak představuje diskusní materiál, který vychází z analýzy současné situace a přes charakteristiku přepravních vztahů v území vede k alternativním návrhům řešení v oblasti organizace železniční a autobusové dopravy a možnostem tarifního řešení.
