SUPPORTING THE SOLUTION SELECTION FOR A DIGITAL CITY WITH A FUZZY-BASED APPROACH

Digital cities have been evolved in various forms around the world. They are entitled wireless/smart/digital/ubiquitous, and they structure significant areas of practice of metro-networks and large-scale information systems. Recently, ubiquitous computing is being applied in city areas, suggesting real-time interaction between the physical and the digital space. However, digital cities are complex and of high risk projects and their sustainability is not guaranteed. This paper focuses on the development of a selection system for various solutions available for a digital city. It considers available solutions the information systems that have been applied successfully in existing cases, and a fuzzy-based model for their selection. The model considers a group of stakeholders/supervisors that applies a number of different weighted selection criteria on numerous information systems, in order to define the requirements of a digital city planned project. The proposed approach could support the design of sustainable digital cities with democratic and effective decision making.
