e-City platform: knowledge supply chains for context-aware, multi-project sustainability analysis of sustainable infrastrucutre systems

提出的研究计划旨在为绿色城市中的知识经纪创建一个电子城市平台。该平台将允许介绍每个项目的背景知识，并提供一个创建知识供应链的场所，以利用知识中心的集体智慧来管理多项目可持续性分析。参与中心的知识将以三个维度呈现：人员概况、流程结构和软件系统。这三个方面的知识将通过自我描述机制获得。城市可以在网上发布他们的地理空间数据以及他们的可持续性分析投标。将使用社交网络、工作流程自动化和软件互操作性协议来匹配参与中心的知识层面，协调背景差异，并建立动态、可扩展的分布式知识供应链来进行分析。

The proposed research program aims to create an e-city platform for knowledge brokerage in the green city. The platform will allow presenting contextual knowledge of each and provide a venue for creating knowledge supply chains to harness the collective intelligence of knowledge hubs to manage multi-project sustainability analysis. Knowledge of participating hubs will be presented in three dimensions: human profile, process structures, and software systems. These three facets of knowledge will be accessible through self-describing mechanisms. Cities can post their geospatial data along with their sustainability analysis bids online. Social networking, work flow automation and software interoperability protocols will be used to match the knowledge facets of participating hubs, reconcile contextual differences and build dynamic, scalable, distributed knowledge supply chains to conduct the analysis.
