The two-volume set LNCS 13956 and 13957 constitutes the refereed
proceedings of the 23rd International Conference on Computational
Science and Its Applications, ICCSA 2023, held at Lesvos Island,
Greece, during July 3–6, 2023. The 67 full papers and 13 short
papers and 6 PHD showcase papers included in this volume were
carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 283 submissions.
The contributions are grouped in topics which deal
with General Track 1: Computational Methods, Algorithms and
Scientific Applications; General Track 2: High
Performance Computing and Networks;Â General Track 3:
Geometric Modeling, Graphics and Visualization;Â General Track
4: Advanced and Emerging Applications;Â General Track 5:
Information Systems and Technologies;Â General Track 6: Urban
and Regional Planning; and PHD Showcase Papers.
This book addresses the issue of smart and sustainable development
in the Mediterranean (MED) region, a distinct part of the world,
full of challenges and risks but also opportunities. Above all, the
book focuses on smartening up small and medium-sized cities and
insular communities, taking into account their geographical
peculiarities, the pattern of MED urban settlements and the
abundance of island complexes in the MED Basin. Taking for granted
that sustainability in the MED is the overarching policy goal that
needs to be served, the book explores different aspects of
smartness in support of this goal's achievement. In this respect,
evidence from concrete smart developments adopted by forerunners in
the MED region is collected and analyzed; coupled with experiences
gathered from successful, non-MED, examples of smart efforts in
European countries. More specifically, current research and
empirical results from MED urban environments are discussed, as
well as findings from or concerning other parts of the world, which
are of relevance to the MED region. The book's primary goal is to
enable policymakers, planners and decision-making bodies to
recognize the challenges and options available; and make to more
informed policy decisions towards smart, sustainable, inclusive and
resilient urban and regional futures in the MED.
This book sheds new light on the current and future challenges
faced by cities, and presents approaches, options and solutions
enabled by Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the
smart city context. By focusing on sustainability objectives within
a rapidly changing social, economic, environmental and
technological setting, it explores a variety of planning challenges
faced by contemporary cities and the power of smart city
developments in terms of providing innovative tools, approaches,
methodologies and technologies to help cities cope with these
challenges. Key issues addressed include smart city (e-) planning
and (e-)participation; smart data management to facilitate
decision-making processes in cities and insular communities on a
variety of topics; smart and sustainable management aspects of
climate change, water scarcity, mobility, energy, infrastructure,
tourism, blue growth, risk assessment; etc. The book presents
current and potential pathways and applications for the evolution
of smart cities and communities, taking into consideration the
unique problems and opportunities emanating from their specific
geographical location. The case study examples mainly concern small
and medium-sized cities and communities as well as insular areas in
the Mediterranean region, while also incorporating lessons learned
from other parts of the world. Their focus is on the specific
opportunities and threats emerging in these urban and insular
environments, which are characterized by their role as globally
known tourist destinations, their coastal or port character, and
unique cultural resources, as well as the high rated vulnerability
in very many sustainability respects (social, economic,
biodiversity, urbanization, migration, poverty, etc.) to be found
in the Mediterranean region at large
This book explores the ways in which information and communication
technologies (ICTs) offer a powerful tool for the development of
smart tourism. Numerous examples are presented from across the
entire spectrum of cultural and heritage tourism, including art,
innovations in museum interpretation and collections management,
cross-cultural visions, gastronomy, film tourism, dark tourism,
sports tourism, and wine tourism. Emphasis is placed on the
importance of the smart destinations concept and a knowledge
economy driven by innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurship. New
modes of tourism management are described, and tourism products,
services, and strategies for the stimulation of economic innovation
and promotion of knowledge transfer are outlined. The potential of
diverse emerging ICTs in this context is clearly explained,
covering location-based services, internet of things, smart cities,
mobile services, gamification, digital collections and the virtual
visitor, social media, social networking, and augmented reality.
The book is edited in collaboration with the International
Association of Cultural and Digital Tourism (IACuDiT) and includes
the proceedings of the Third International Conference on Cultural
and Digital Tourism.
This book focuses on cultural tourism as it develops into the
second decade of the new millennium. It presents recent hospitality
and tourism research findings from various sources, including
academic researchers and scholars, industry professionals,
government and quasi-government officials, and other key industry
practitioners. It discusses the latest tourism industry trends and
identifies gaps in the research from a pragmatic and applied
perspective. It includes specific chapters on innovation in
tourism, the virtual visitor, cross-cultural visions of digital
collections, heritage and museum management in the digital era,
cultural and digital tourism policy, marketing and governance,
social media, emerging technologies and e-tourism and many other
topics of contemporary significance in global hospitality and
tourism. The book is edited in collaboration with the International
