Governments across the world are intensifying their use of digital technology. One way to generate an understanding of the effects of technology in the public sector is to study values. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how values in the Swedish national e-Government have developed over time. This research studies Swedish government documents between 1961 and 2018 during three periods of computerization: Automatic Data Processing, Information Technology, and Digitalization. A theoretical framework that consists of four value positions (i.e. professionalism, efficiency, service, and engagement) is utilized. The findings suggest that technological paradigms tend to generate value congruence in policy documents, followed by value divergence in evaluations. Currently, digitalization is perceived as the enabler of several values. While both IT and digitalization are referred to as tools or means, the development towards an information, knowledge, or data-driven society is also described as inevitable. The service ideal became dominant through the use of internet-based technology, while efficiency is often prioritized in large-scale projects. Engagement values are associated with a futuristic form of democracy in government documents, but rarely converted into practice. The role of professionalism is two-fold: it acts both as an enabler and as a constraint to the other values. The paper concludes with suggesting that the current development of adapting laws and regulations to enable digitalization might lead to an eroded bureaucracy, with uncertain value.

CEI (Ciudad Energéticamente Inteligente – Energetically Smart City) aims at improving the energy and environment conditions of living areas of the city, by managing correctly the existing infrastructures and resources. The improvement will be enabled by the development of technology systems (energy nodes control technologies, energy-environmental sensors technologies, technologies for the improvement of maintenance methodologies) that make possible the control of energy and environment conditions of those areas. This project is funded by the Instituto Valenciano de Competitividad Empresarial (IVACE) and the European Union through the Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional (FEDER). This work package aims at designing and developing the ICT system associated to the energy management systems considered in the project. The first layer of this architecture tackles data acquisition: energy data, weather data, and other relevant data from the energy management systems deployed in the city. After data collection, the system implements two analysis modules: · A rule-based correlation engine, which will identify events over a subset of data sources. · A big data analytics engine, which will learn from historical data by applying statistical techniques. This document describes the components of the Big Data Analytics platform, focusing on the data processing and analysis (both statistical and rule-based). Finally, a front-end web shows the information handled by the platform. ; CEI (Ciudad Energéticamente Inteligente – Energetically Smart City).

Zugleich gedruckt veröffentlicht im Universitätsverlag der TU Berlin unter der ISBN 978-3-7983-2587-6. ; Die Evaluierungs-"toolbox" Eva.S dient als Instrument für Projektentwickler, zur Umsetzung von Projektideen und Networking in Praxis und Forschungsförderung zur Verarbeitung von komplexen Datenmengen. Eva.S ist ein nicht projektgebundenes Evaluierungs-System mit vielfältiger prozessorientierter Anwendung und kompetenter Kommunikation der Ergebnisse. Die angewandte Strategie zur Evaluierung mit den wirkungsbezogenen sogenannten "Indicator values" sind von großer Relevanz und weitgehend akzeptiert auf dem Gebiet Planung, Konstruktion und dem prozessorientierten Monitoring, um schon frühzeitig den "Zielerreichungsgrad" eines Projektes verfolgen zu können. Die wirkungsbezogenen "Indicator values" sind die Basis für die Projektarbeit im Netzwerk, die Visualisierung und das Verstehen komplexer Vorgänge in der Projektentwicklung und dem Fortschritt. Es gibt auf dem internationalen Markt viele Evaluierungs- und Monitoringsysteme wie z.B. BNB/DGNB, BREEAM, LEED, African Green City Index (GCI), Asian GCI, European GCI, ESTIDIMA (Pearls), GREEN Pyramids etc.; das neu entwickelte Eva.S Evaluierungs-System führt in einem sorgfältigen Abwägungsprozess alle für das eigene zu evaluierende Projekt wichtigen Faktoren und Indikatoren aus den international anerkannten Verfahren zur Bewertung von Bauwerken hinsichtlich Flächenmanagement und der sozio-kulturellen Problematiken zusammen. Die Eva.S Evaluierungs-"toolbox" stellt sich der Herausforderung einer erfolgreichen auf das jeweilige Projekt zugeschnittene Projektentwicklung, Erfassung der Auswirkungen und dem Management des Fortschrittes. Erforderlich ist eine international anerkannte Evaluierungs-Strategie, um ein der jeweiligen Situation und den baulichen Begebenheiten angemessenes wissenschaftliches Monitoring zu ermöglichen. Einsatz und Überprüfung von qualitativen und quantitativen wirkungsbezogene Indikatoren zur Erfassung und Bewertung der von den Projektteilnehmern geplanten und umgesetzten Maßnahmen wurden erstmalig mit Eva.S in dem Young Cities Projekt ermöglicht. Mit diesem Vorgehen war gleichzeitig ein "Rating" mit Noten von 1-10 (1 = sehr gut; 10 = schlecht) der geplanten und vorgenommenen Maßnahmen von Anfang an möglich. Parallel zu den einzelnen Arbeitsabschnitten des Young Cities Projekts wurde mit den Elementen des Eva.S zur ersten Datenerfassung, der Bewertung und schließlich zur Visualisierung in Diagrammen begleitet und ständig in der Rückkopplung über Eva.S Anwendung in fünf Arbeitsschritten optimiert: Datenerfassung, Datenorganisation in Matrizes und Indikatoren Formate, Eingabe in das Eva.S System zum Aufbau einer Datenbank, Überprüfung der Daten durch einen Eva.S "Prozessor" hinsichtlich der klassischen Qualitäten der Nachhaltigkeit (Ökonomie, Ökologie, Soziales), Bestimmung der projektbezogenen Indikatoren, Monitoring und Entscheidungs-Schleife zur Generierung der Ergebnisse einschließlich "Rating" und Zielerreichungsgrad sowie Kommunikation der Ergebnisse. Die Projektentwicklung endet nicht mit der Implementation, sondern es findet immer wieder eine Rückkopplung statt hinsichtlich der Evaluierungs- und Monitoringstrategien unter kritisch analytischer Betrachtung der Arbeitsabläufe und des "Ratings". Im Ergebnis der Bewertung lässt sich ein Handlungsbedarf ableiten. Das Eva.S Evaluierungs-System war im Rahmen des Young Cities Projekts zur projektinternen Evaluierung entwickelt worden. Eva.S wurde aber von Anfang an so gestaltet, dass auch andere Anwendungen und Projekte zu bearbeiten sind. Es wurden erste Probeläufe mit Daten-Sätzen des in sich abgeschlossenen REFINA Projekt zum Flächenmanagement erfolgreich durchgeführt. Die Eva.S Datenbank hat für das Young Cities Projekt 135 Datensätze verteilt auf 26 Dimensions für 3 Handlungsfelder (Field of Actions - FoA) und 25 Arbeitspaketen (Work Packages - WP) verarbeitet und verwaltet. Das Eva.S Evaluierungs-System arbeitet barrierefrei im Open Source / Microsoft Modus, die Daten werden über ein Drop-Down Menu eingespeist. Die Eva.S Projektdaten werden mittels projektspezifischen qualitativen und quantitativen Indikatoren nach den 3 klassischen Säulen der Nachhaltigkeit (Ökonomie, Ökologie, Soziales) bewertet. Der Teil Risikoanalyse im Eva.S Evaluierungs-System wurde in Anlehnung an die Ergebnisse einer MORIX Machbarkeitsstudie entwickelt und in Probeläufen im "feed back" überprüft und weiter optimiert. Das Eva.S Evaluierungs-System hat ein hohes Potential in der Anwendung als Prüfsystem in der Projektentwicklung, im Projektmanagement und bei der Entwicklung geeigneter Monitoring Strategien. Eva.S ist eine web-basierte Anwendung und hat über eine Internet Adresse http://yc.liebrenz.info/refina/index.php jederzeit einen weltweiten Zugriff zur Daten-Eingabe, Bewertung und Visualisierung. Ein Trainingsprogramm für Anwender von Eva.S aus den Bereichen Projektentwicklung und politischer Entscheidungsfindung ist in Vorbereitung. ; The evaluation tool Eva.S serves as an instrument for project developer and project participants to handle and present their overall results in a clear and manageable way. Because of the numerous projects and possibilities of Eva.S and its multiple applications and visualization of the processes for interpretation and competent communication to public the indicators values and the investigated evaluation strategy are of significant relevance and acceptance for planning, construction and process orientated monitoring as well as the "grade of achievements" for such projects. The investigated process orientated Indicator values are the fundament for net working, visualization and for understanding of complex systems in project development and success orientated achievements. There are many evaluation and monitoring system on the market like the BNB/DGNB, BREEAM, LEED, African Green City Index (GCI), Asian GCI, European GCI, ESTIDIMA (Pearls), GREEN Pyramids. The newly established Eva.S evaluation tool takes in account most of the pro and contras of all these internationally well accepted concepts. Eva.S represents a challenge as much as a competent opportunity and toolbox for a successful and tailored project development, assessment and management of the progresses. An internationally well accepted evaluation strategy is necessary to enable a relevant, scientific monitoring to capture and assess qualitative and quantitative effects related indicators of the measures planned and/or realized the first time by Eva.S and the Young Cities project. The impact of qualitative and quantitative effect related indicators are rated at the same level. The Young Cities project working phases were attended from the first moment on during data mining, evaluation and finally by visualization of the results by so-called radar diagrams. There are five relevant steps of work flow for managing the data. Starting with data mining and organizing the raw data in matrices and indicator templates. The project specific indicator related data sets are sorted out for feeding the Eva.S evaluation tool for a data check considering the classical criteria for sustainability in the field of economy, ecology and social-cultural aspects by a multi array grid (processor). In a monitoring and decision loop the final results and products as well as strategies are shown for dissemination and rating of the results. The rating system 1-10 (1= best practice; 10= failure) is similar to the common rating tables of international standards to demonstrate in particular the "grade of achievement" of the measures. The development and realization of a project is a process in several distinct project-phases and this will certainly not end with its implementation. Sectorial considerations and therefore possibly inefficient measures in case of changes in the project can be prevented because the presented interaction and feed back effects of the evaluation and monitoring strategy is integrated from the beginning on of the project with the focus on the analysis of work flow and rating checks. The Eva.S evaluation tool was performed by the Young Cities project by the participating project teams in the forum of an internal Evaluation and Monitoring group. From the first beginning on it was designed also for other applications and potential projects and test runs were consequently developed. The first runs were done successfully with data sets of the well known REFINA project and resources consumption management. The Eva.S data bank was serving the Young Cities project by 135 data sets, 3 Fields of Action (FoA) and 25 Work Packages. The Eva.S evaluation tool is operating in Open Source / Mikrosoft Office easy to feed by a Drop-Down menu. The Eva.S project data are evaluated by qualitative and quantitative project specific indicators proved by the classical dimensions of sustainability: socio-cultural quality, economic and ecological quality. The risk analysis part of Eva.S was tested and optimized by a MORIX feasibility study in Real Estate Management (REM) Master Courses. The dynamic and constantly up-dated Eva.S evaluation tool has many potential applications in the field of evaluation and monitoring. Stakeholders are project developer, political decision maker of municipal authorities. Eva.S is from now on present in the internet and offers access world wide: http://yc.liebrenz.info/refina/index.php. There are no barriers and there will be a training and application of Eva.S for legal frame work.

The beginning of the 2020s ought to reflect a steady conclusion of the vast majority of the European Union's projects with regards to the new era of connectivity and mobility within the European Union dimension. We expect Intelligent Connected Vehicles (ICVs) to step into free circulation within the internal market. Since the operation of the ICVs depends on the number of data processing operations, data processing operations should be precisely determined and framed beforehand. ICVs data operations consist of extraordinarily large volumes and velocity of a data flow which previously existed in traditional relational database systems and could not have been processed within the desired timeframe. Even though the currently adopted database systems are ready to face the new level of data processing, a huge data stream is also faced with complex obstacles and new risks which have never been experienced beforehand. While seeking to ensure safe and secure introduction of a new level of data processing for connectivity and automation at the European Union market, the author precisely examines all potential risks and possibilities of integration into a uniform legal regulation to ensure secured ICVs data processing at all levels. The regulatory framework should document adequate security requirements and defences against ICVs attacks e.g. interference and remote-control interception.
