While others propose smart city elements and dimensions, rather than providing a clear and holistic approach. The most of smart city strategy works overlap one another, which creates ambiguity for smart city leaders. To fill this gap and reduce this ambiguity, the current paper presents and describes the main components of a smart city strategy framework, which are: strategic vision, action plan, and management strategy. To evaluate the relevance of these elements, the present paper conducts a comparative study. {\textcopyright} 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.},

	abstract = {Abstract: Information Communication Technology for Development (ICT4D) enables organizations to transform and evolve. Despite the contributions of methodologies and models for project management, the number of failed ICT4D projects remain high; as a consequence, researching crucial success factors of ICT4D projects remains an important matter for practitioners and researchers. Studies and researches on factors impacting ICT4D projects{\textquoteright} success are various, fragmented and have used different methods to explore the relatedness between various variables. Structural Equation Modeling approach (SEM) has attracted very little attention in the definition of critical factors affecting ICT and ICT4D projects{\textquoteright} success. From this standpoint, we as author of this study have applied the SEM approach and built an empirical model that identifies and justifies the topmost factors that impact the best outcome of ICT initiatives and projects conducted for development. In this regard, we reviewed relevant literature to compile and synthesize important success factors in ICT4D projects. The results obtained revealed that there isn{\textquoteright}t an agreement on ICT4D project factor success. Our work consisted of consolidating the ICT4D success factors and developing a quantitative approach using smart-PLS version 3.3.3 to test and verify the proposed conceptual model. Particularly, we undertook this study to highlights the correlation between {\textquotedblleft}Leadership and Governance{\textquotedblright}, {\textquotedblleft}Project Management{\textquotedblright}, {\textquotedblleft}Quality Management{\textquotedblright} and {\textquotedblleft}Foundations and Requirements{\textquotedblright} factors and how these correlated to the outcomes of the ICT4D project. The results indicate that the R Square value of the model attained 0.84 which reveals that the latent constructs previously mentioned justified 84\% of the variance in project success. This study lays out the contours of the existing literature concluding the critical success factors and coming up with a framework for decision-makers, researchers, practitioners and organizations intending to initiate and implement an ICT4D project. {\textcopyright} 2021 Houda Fakhkhari, Bouchaib Bounabat and Maria Bennani.},

	abstract = {To take advantage of information technologies, organizations need to define a clear strategy. Numerous works have provided definitions and phases of digital strategies. Some of these strategies are context-specific, while others deal with the common elements of digital strategies regardless of the digital transformation context. However, these works do not address a holistic approach. This raises ambiguity regarding digital strategy definitions and approaches. To eliminate this ambiguity, the current research tries to take advantage of existing digital strategies to propose a general digital strategy definition and build a general digital transformation approach. This work analyses various digital transformation strategies, to extract and classify their common elements in order to build a general approach that frame and drive the formulation of digital transformation strategies. To define such a general approach, the current paper analyses the effects of IT Governance and Management Strategy on the Digital Transformation Maturity. This analysis identified how IT Governance and Management Strategy can contribute to formulating a digital transformation strategy. Partial Least Square (PLS) was adopted in this research to develop an empirical evaluation for the case of 30 digital strategies and frameworks. Based on this empirical study several results have been presented in this work, namely: determination of a digital strategy definition and identification of a digital strategy approach. The proposed approach is composed of the following building blocks: Strategic Awareness, Business Strategic Planning, IT Organizational Structure, Steering committee, IT Prioritization Process, IT Investment Decisions, IT Strategic Planning, IT Budgeting, IT Reporting, IT Reaction Capacity and Management Strategy. {\textcopyright} 2020 Korachi Zineb and Bounabat Bouchaib.},

	abstract = {Despite the importance of the smart city concept, few works address how to define and implement smart cities in a clear manner. Furthermore, the smart city literature provides heterogeneous studies and solutions; this heterogeneity creates misunderstanding regarding the smart city definition and strategy. Moreover, stakeholders have multiple and conflicting interests and concerns, which also increase the ambiguity regarding the smart city concept and approach. To meet this challenge and fill this gap, a smart city frame of reference is needed to frame and guide smart city strategy formulation and implementation. In this perspective, the current research conducts a quantitative analysis of various smart city frameworks and strategies, in order to find and demonstrate the common building blocks of a smart city framework. Based on the quantitative analysis, this work proposes a clear and integrative smart city framework. This framework aims to reduce the misunderstanding and ambiguity regarding smart city definitions and strategies by providing a standard smart city approach that fits all smart city contexts. To this effect, the proposed framework considers all smart city concerns and it is composed of the following blocks: Strategic awareness, business strategic planning, IT investment decisions, IT organizational structure, steering committee, IT prioritization process, IT strategic planning, IT budgeting, marketing plan, IT reaction capacity, IT reporting and management strategy. {\textcopyright} 2020 {\textcopyright} 2020 Zineb Korachi and Bouchaib Bounabat.

	abstract = {Information Technologies (ITs) lead to creativity and innovation in education, business, and management. Creativity and innovation improve the growth and profitability of organizations and the quality of their products and services. Many of today{\textquoteright}s social, business, economic and political problems can be solved using ITs. To take advantage of the digital revolution, there is a need for having a digital strategy and evaluation system of the digital transformation. Many works show that the strategic alignment between business and ITs is the key element for successful digital projects. This work presents a Maturity Model for Digital Strategy Assessment (MMDSA). MMDSA has been introduced as a guide and reference framework for digital transformation management within different industries and sectors. Its objective is to master and improve digital transformation processes and consequently to control the quality of the products and services resulting from these processes. The proposed model allows assessing IT-businesses alignment, helps organizations to determine where they stand in terms of their digital transformation and provides strategic components and guidelines to help organizations to move up from the current maturity level to the next one. The paper illustrates a software solution allowing to create customized maturity models to assess digital strategy progress and evaluate the business value of the digital transformation. {\textcopyright} 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.},

	abstract = {Smart Grid (SG) systems are critical, intelligent infrastructure utility services connected through open networks that are potentially susceptible to cyber-attacks with very acute security risks of shutdown, loss of life, and loss of revenue. Traditional intrusion detection systems based on signature and anomaly techniques are no longer sufficient to protect SGs due to their new connectivity and management challenges, the ever-rapidly-evolving masquerades, and cyber criminality levied against them. SGs require cyber-security systems to render them resilient and protected through advanced Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDPS) techniques and mechanisms. This paper proposes a smart collaborative advanced IDPS to provide the best possible protection of SGs with a fully distributed management structure that supports the network and host based detections and the prevention of attacks. By facilitating a reliable, scalable, and flexible design, the specific requirements of IDPS for SGs can be more easily met via a fuzzy risk analyzer, an independent and ontology knowledge-based inference engine module. These can work collaboratively by managing functions across multiple IDPS domains. A set of extensive and intensive simulated experiments shows that with its smart advanced components incorporating soft computing machine-learning techniques and a rich ontology knowledge base with fuzzy logic analysis, it detects and prevents intrusions more efficiently. The multi-faceted results of the simulation also show that the proposed Collaborative Smart IDPS (CSIDPS) system increases the intrusion detection accuracy and decreases the false positive alarms when compared to traditional IDPSs. This is epitomized by the skillful use of the confusion matrix technique for organizing classifiers, visualizing their performance, and assessing their overall behavior. In the final analysis, the CSIDPS architecture is designed toward contributing to de facto norms for SG ecosystems. {\textcopyright} 2016 Elsevier Ltd},

	abstract = {The new data-oriented shape of organizations inevitably imposes the need for the improvement of their data quality (DQ). In fact, growing data quality initiatives are offering increased monetary and non-monetary benefits for organizations. These benefits include increased customer satisfaction, reduced operating costs and increased revenues. However, regardless of the numerous initiatives, there is still no globally accepted approach for evaluating data quality projects in order to build the optimal business cases taking into account the benefits and the costs. This paper presents a model to clearly identify the opportunities for increased monetary and non-monetary benefits from improved data quality within an Enterprise Architecture context. The aim of this paper is to measure, in a quantitative manner, how key business processes help to execute an organization{\textquoteright}s strategy and then to qualify the benefits as well as the complexity of improving data, that are consumed and produced by these processes. These findings will allow to select data quality improvement projects, based on the latter{\textquoteright}s benefits to the organization and their costs of implementation. To facilitate the understanding of this approach, a Java EE Web application is developed and presented here. {\textcopyright} Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016.},

	abstract = {Intrusion detection systems (IDS) are most efficient way of defending against network-based attacks aimed at computer systems. These systems are used in almost all large-scale IT infrastructures. As part of the migration to cloud services, the situation is even more complex because of the characteristics of cloud, everything is virtual. The number of virtual machines (VM) changes dynamically according to the resource requirement of the requested processing and can be of the order of thousands to tens of thousands. Each VM has an IDS adapted to its services (web server, mail server, ftp server, etc.) and to increase the performance we can use different types of IDS (signature-based IDS, anomaly-based IDS) in one machine. Due to their complex nature, IDS in a cloud environment are extremely difficult to specify and validate. In this paper, we propose a new formal model for the specification and the validation of such systems. This approach considers these Systems as a Multi-Agent System consisting of concurrent reactive agents that cooperate with each other to achieve the desired functionality. In addition, this approach uses formal synchronous specification and verification tools in order to specify and to verify the systems behaviors. {\textcopyright} 2005-2016 JATIT \& LLS.

Indeed, it{\textquoteright}s about negotiations between actors involved in business project. Our objective is to propose an approach of network establishment, by inciting actors through cost savings.

Multi-agent Systems (MAS) are composed of autonomous agents that interact and coordinate to achieve their intentions. This makes them particularly adapted to modelling composite and complex information systems.

	abstract = {Reactive Multi-Agent system (RMAS) has emerged as an attractive technology for the design and implementation of distributed and cooperative systems. The RMAS main challenge is how to clearly identify its local and global behavior. Several approaches have been introduced to deal with behavioral specification of RMAS. However, there is a lack in the specification and verification process that facilitates understanding the system from goals identification that the system expects to achieve to formal verification of system properties. In this paper, we are interested to the specification problem of Reactive Multi-Agent System (RMAS) for both individual and collective behavior by taking into account two modes of specification: normal mode and fault-tolerance mode. To do so, we propose a method called BECAMEDA (Behavioral SpEcification and VerifiCAtion of RMAS based on E-MDRA) for the specification and verification of reactive Multi-agent system based on the MDRA (Multi-Decisional Reactive Agent) models. The MDRA specifies the reactive agent behavior by highlighting the decisional aspect of the agent. The BECAMEDA method will be described throughout an example of Car Crisis Management. {\textcopyright} 2015 IEEE.},

The objective in this paper is to use the Model Checking technique for MDRA Profile verification through the Model Checker SMV (Symbolic Model Verifier) to automatically verify the system properties expressed in temporal logic. The SMV mainly focusing on reactive systems provides a modular hierarchical descriptions and definition of reusable components.
