Advanced Technologies Make Remote Territories Smart: Network-Based Scope

초록

People living on territories try to improve their well-being−by developing technology and better social organization in line with preserving the environment. In general, contemporary utilization of CPS/IoT implies mainly natural and engineering domains making those smart. In the study clarification through network science of the role of advanced technologies and that of CPS has been proposed for further elaborating programs of sustainable development of specific remote territories. Case study included three border area (RF-Mongolia) territories of Eastern Siberia, Russian federation. A previous combined stem network model was improved to find the balance between socio-economic development of territories in whole, environment protection, and personal hopes of local for future. The novel model implies that three groups of entities: actors, infrastructures, and natural assets might be observed so that each group forms network subspaces in network space. Thus, each subspace is represented by a pertinent combined stem network. Additional interdependency effects not taken into account in previous stem network models we identified with special kind of links. Imbedded with tens or hundreds of thousands of sensors and actuators a territory decision support system might be provided with thorough network metric values just to choose optimal ways for territory development and elaborating effective measures to counteract coming threats. Terminology and qualitative side of this model particularly should deliver network forma mentis to experts from diverse domains and bridge them for further effective utilization of modern technologies to increase quality of living on the territory. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
