	abstract = {There are conflicts and ambiguity regarding smart city strategies. Some works present smart city processes with vague and inconsistent steps. 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 = {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 = {As long as companies arrived at a maturity, where business processes have stagnated or even the diversity of business processes, research is directed towards the improvement of data quality, that is to say, improving dimensions quality for data, the first problem is to check if this improvement in one dimension will be held or not given its cost and its impact, the second to find a centrality to improve total quality without penalizing one dimension our current paper addresses the first problem to a dimension that is completeness. This improvement will be have a cost that we cannot calculate clearly, but we can measure her complexity, because the complexity increases with the cost, the approach here is implemented under a Java EE environment. {\textcopyright} Springer International Publishing AG 2018.},

The aim 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 clearly identify 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.},

	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.},
