Master students who are looking for an interesting topic for their IS Project may be interested to know that the Chair of Information Systems and Strategic IT Management offers an IS Project on Smart City architecture principles.

Developing Smart City solutions often requires complex collaboration between diverse organizations and systems. Given that Smart City initiatives face certain challenges comparable to those of traditional enterprises, existing Smart City architectures are often to some extent based on generic enterprise architecture (EA) frameworks which could direct and guide a city’s digital transformation.

The aim of this project should be the evaluation and comparison of architecture principles in different smart city initiatives. For this purpose, interviews with representatives of selected Smart Cities and document analysis will be conducted. Based on these insights, managerial recommendations and potentially a standardized approach for the development and establishment of architecture principles in smart cities could be proposed.

If you are interested in this IS Project, please apply as soon as possible.
