A smart city implies a consistent use of technology for the benefit of the community.As the city develops over time, components and subsystems such as smart grids, smart water management, smart traffic and transportation systems, smart waste management systems, smart security systems, or e-governance are added.These components ingest and generate a
In this CAL CITRATE paper we present two applications of a new Belief Function-based Inter-Criteria Analysis (BF-ICrA) approach for the assessment of redundancy of criteria involved in Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) problems.This BF-ICrA method allows to simplify the original MCDM problem by suppressing redundant criteria (if any) and thus d

Experimental results from several tokamaks suggest a strong impact of divertor density regimes on turbulent transport in the edge plasma.Reciprocally, the change in cross- field transport and Scrape-Off-Layer (SOL) width affects the access to density regimes, making it a fundamental topic for heat exhaust issue.Addressing this issue self- consisten
