The course is inspired to create models to reach a high level of efficiency across various sectors in cities and communities, producing at the same time important impacts on the social cohesion. The course will be coordinated by a mathematician but will taught by different actors from the area of ICT, renewable energy, transport and logistics
The course shall account for a set of multi-disciplinary concerns: elaboration of a general smart planning model; modeling and quantification of energy flows across main sectors. Intelligent energy distribution networks; ICT infrastructure design model (hybrid communication infrastructure); sustainable mobility (e.g.: via suitably adapted the classical first order models of Lighthill- Whitham-Richardson type and the second order of Aw-Rascle) and last-mile logistic; public building monitoring and remote diagnosis; smart health. Mathematical models for validation and large scale simulation.
