In a series of essays, this book describes and analyzes the concept
and theory of the recent smart city phenomenon from a global
perspective, with a focus on its implementation around the world.
After defining the concept it then elaborates on the role of
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) as an enabler for
smart cities, and the role of ICT in the interplay with smart
mobility. A separate chapter develops the concept of an urban smart
dashboard for stakeholders to measure performance as well as the
economic and public value. It offers examples of smart cities
around the globe, and two detailed case studies on Genoa and
Amsterdam exemplify the book's theoretical and empirical findings,
helping readers understand and evaluate the effectiveness and
capability of new smart city programs.
This book presents a collection of original research papers
addressing the relationship between information systems (IS) and
innovation. "Open", "Smart" and "Network" are three keywords that
are currently guiding information systems (IS) innovation,
enhancing IS potentialities and their ability to support
decision-making processes. The book discusses the relevance of
these three new concepts in connection with technological and
organizational innovations (i.e. cloud, smart technologies and
networking), and the role they play in the development of
accounting and management information systems. The book's primary
aim is to investigate how these innovations could influence
information systems (with a particular focus on accounting and
management information systems) by enhancing their information
potentialities and improving accounting methodologies, performance
measurement systems, data management, information systems
architectures, and external and internal reporting. The book is
based on a selection of the best papers-original double-blind
reviewed contributions-presented at the 2016 Annual Conference of
the Italian Chapter of the Association for Information Systems
(AIS).

This book presents a comprehensive overview of the various aspects
for the development of smart cities from a European perspective. It
presents both theoretical concepts as well as empirical studies and
cases of smart city programs and their capacity to create value for
citizens. The contributions in this book are a result of an
increasing interest for this topic, supported by both national
governments and international institutions. The book offers a large
panorama of the most important aspects of smart cities evolution
and implementation. It compares European best practices and
analyzes how smart projects and programs in cities could help to
improve the quality of life in the urban space and to promote
cultural and economic development.
This book presents a collection of original research papers focused
on the relationship between information technology and accounting
and control models. The book discusses the importance of
establishing a synergetic relationship between new information
technologies (ERP, BI, web-based technology, data mining, XBRL,
etc.) and new or renewed accounting models and tools (performance
indicators, prevision and simulation models, accounting models for
public administration, etc.) in order to enhance an organization's
capability to manage information and make valuable decisions. The
search for these synergies takes place at all organizational
levels: at a strategic level, in order to simulate and forecast
behaviors and financial results at a management level, in order to
innovate performance measurement and improve value creation at the
operational level, in order to improve information quality and the
efficiency of the information process. This book is particularly
useful for IS and CFO managers and scholars, as it is based on a
selection of the best papers - original, double blind reviewed
contributions - presented to the Annual Conference of the Italian
Chapter of AIS under the category "Accounting Information Systems".

This book contains a collection of research papers on accounting
information systems including their strategic role in decision
processes, within and between companies. An accounting system is a
complex system composed of a mix of strictly interrelated elements
such as data, information, human resources, IT tool, accounting
models and procedures. Accounting information systems are often
considered the instrument by default for accounting automation.
This book aims to sketch a clear picture of the current state of
AIS research, including design, acceptance and reliance,
value-added decision making, interorganizational links, and process
improvements. The contributions in this volume emphasize that AIS
has grown into a powerful strategic tool. The book provides
evidence for this observation by examining a wide range of current
issues ranging from theory development in AIS to practical
applications of accounting information systems. In particular it
focuses on themes of growing interest in the realm of XBRL and
Financial Reporting, Management Information Systems, IT/IS Audit
and IT/IS Compliance. The book will be of interest to financial and
managerial accountants and IT/IS practitioners, including
information systems managers and consultants.
