Smart Cities are driven by rapid changes in both information generation and access. These are driven initially by technology, but quickly demand adaptive governance and social science demands as a result. A strategy to address the skills required - and the associated disciplines engaged - is laid out. It includes Smart Cities educational agendas from social, technology, and investment perspectives and addresses how the core skill : swift appreciation of the contributions of different disciplines and the ability to speed up genuine adaptive interworking - can be achieved. This strategy builds upon the educational and interchange commitments made in IEEE …

A straightforward set of short and simple benchmarks has been used to examine the relative performance of a wide range of mainframe, mini, and micro systems. Comparable sets ot BASIC, Pascal. FORTRAN and Structured Algol codes are given In a series of Tables and Figures. Special attention has been paid to the role of additional processors to assist In the execution of the benchmark codes. These Include a 6809 used to accellerate APPLE-Pascal 1.1 p-code and an AMD 9511 to accelerate BASIC-E and Structured Algol semi-complied code. Two AMD 9511 versions of MicroSoft and FORTRAN FORLIB are included. The overlap …
