Suzuki LR, Finkelstein A, Gann D, 2013, A middleware framework for urban data management, Pages: 1359-1362

The domain of inquiry of this research is the collection, organization, integration, distribution and consumption of knowledge derived from urban open data, and how it can be best offered to application cities' stakeholders through a software middleware. We argue that the extensive investigation proposed in this research will contribute to a growing body of knowledge about data integration and application in smart cities, and offer opportunities to re-think an integrated urban infrastructure.

Dodgson M, Gann D, 2011, Technological Innovation and Complex Systems in Cities, Journal of Urban Technology, Vol: 18, Pages: 99-111

Many solutions to the problems confronting cities involve the integration ofsystems of systems. The complexity of integrating diverse systems requires approachesthat are adaptive and collaborative. This paper argues that these approaches can valuablydraw on a range of emerging technologies, such as virtual representations, using themassive increase in available data from ubiquitous instrumentation. It contends that theinterrelations in cities between different systems can be better explored, and decisionsimproved, through using this technology. A brief case study of some elements of IBM’sSmarter Cities strategy, based on instrumentation, interconnection, and intelligence ispresented. The company’s Emergency Response System in Rio de Janeiro is provided asan example of the role technology can play in developing an integrated system ofsystems. This exploratory paper concludes that the new innovation technologies can contributeto effective approaches for dealing with emerging challenges in cities.

Gann DM, Dodgson M, Bhardwaj D, 2011, Physical-digital integration in city infrastructure, IBM Journal of Research & Development, Vol: 55, Pages: 8:1-8:10

There is increasing recognition by researchers, businesses, andpolicymakers of the value of integrating the systems of systems ofwhich cities are comprised. It is less clear how this can be achieved,in practice, from a technical and organizational standpoint. Thispaper is concerned with one element of this integration, namely, theintegration of physical infrastructures and digital technologies. Weargue that technological innovation has historically been crucial tothe development of cities and will also be crucial in future smartcities. Cities become ‘‘smarter’’ when they make use of the increasedavailability of data and analytical techniques to improve effectivenessand efficiency. The better integration of physical and digitalinfrastructures can significantly contribute to these objectives.The engineering tools and models used in the design, construction,and operation of a city infrastructure can now utilize a suite oftechnologies and processes to assist this integration. This isparticularly necessary and challenging when the collaborativeinvolvement of diverse parties is required and different vintages ofinfrastructure and technology must be combined. This paper is basedon case studies of IBM and the construction company LaingO’Rourke. It provides examples showing how these ‘‘innovationtechnologies’’ improve opportunity and reduce risk in physical–digitalintegration and provides questions for further investigation.

Manufacturers in the UK have to develop new and innovative ways to maintainhard-won market positions to protect proprietary technology or compete withlow-cost economies. One approach is through services-led competitive strategies.In this first of two articles the authors deal with the need to prepare engineers for amanufacturing industry built around services. The second article (on page 36) examinesthe threats and opportunities facing manufacturers who move into services.

Reichstein T, Salter AJ, Gann DM, 2008, Break on Through: Sources and Determinants of Product and Process Innovation among UK Construction Firms, Industry and Innovation, Vol: 15, Pages: 601-625

While construction is often seen as a low-technology sector, it has witnessed substantial changes in practices, technology and performance over the past 20 years. Understanding the sources of these changes is important for innovation strategy and policy to improve performance within the sector, and because it produce the capital goods-buildings and structures-to enable other sectors to develop. Logistic regression is applied to data from the UK Innovation Survey to examine sources of product and process innovation among construction firms. Results show that working with customers, suppliers and having a braod market orientation can help construction firms break through the confines of their particular industrial context. The paper concludes by exploring implications of these findings for policy and theory and by considering questions for further research.
