Architecture and methodology development for smart city are still being carried out together in clarifying the scope of smart city. This is because the application of Enterprise Architecture (EA) still does not accommodate its characteristics as a form of System of System. This study discusses the EA research overview on smart city design and the gaps in EA implementation for smart city architecture development. This research is intended to create a smart city architecture development methodology as a System of System for reference architecture with the collaboration of several systems. The system is an element of smart city designed and developed by the leaders of each coordinated system. In the end, this methodology can form the basis for building and coordinating the development of a collaborative smart city by several actors.

Enterprise Architecture Framework

Many cities are adopting information and communication technologies (ICT) to add value to business process. This has led to the realisation of smart cities making them dependable on ICT. In Namibia, the focus is to transform Windhoek into a smart city. However, it is not easy as Windhoek continues to face many challenges, for example lack of collaboration among stakeholders. The challenges could be attributed by lack of approaches such as enterprise architecture (EA). As a management and design approach, EA provides a system view of all components and their relationship. In the absence of EA, realisation of Windhoek smart city will continue to be challenging, impeding the city from providing smart services. The study's aim was to develop EA framework for Windhoek smart city realisation. A qualitative case study approach was employed. Data was interpretively analysed to enable a deeper understating of the influencing factors. Based on the findings, a conceptual EA framework was developed. The framework aims to guide and govern Windhoek city transformation towards its smart objectives.

The City

Population development is so fast and half within the city that it creates social problems. In addition, the city also has future challenges such as population growth, poverty, health, safety, energy needs, and pollution levels. The problems and challenges of the city must get the solution through the use of the smart city concept in managing the city. Smart City is a city with a development concept using existing resources effectively and efficiently and can be used to maximize the benefits of citizens through the use of information and communication technology. To build a smart city It takes enterprise architecture as a medium of communication by all the intelligent city stakeholders that can be achieved in accordance with predetermined goals. This research aims to develop the enterprise architecture model by using TOGAF to be used and provide solutions to the problems and challenges of the city through the development of enterprise smart city architecture. The results show that Smart City Enterprise Architecture developed using TOGAF can be used as a reference for smart city development.

Smart cities are primarily based on information and communications technology development and applications across various academic subjects and domains. Integrating new-generation information and communications technologies, including the Internet of Things data collection, cloud computation, big data applications, and mobile network, smart cities organize the people and things of a city according to application needs to perform real-time computation and processing. Information transmission must be rapid and reliable to protect personal privacy and to secure data. All types of information security problems can lead to disastrous consequences; in particular, they pose great challenges to traditional information security systems. To explore possible solutions to the challenges that Taiwan’s smart city information security faces, this study used the enterprise architecture method and discussed the emphasis and investment capacity of the government and enterprises on information security. Moreover, this study reviewed correct methods of using a smart information security collaborative system to protect not only privacy, however also networks with a large attack surface; the purpose was to establish a reliable data sharing practice and alleviate the cascading effect of failures of smart networks. Finally, this paper provides future research directions for building smart cities and encouraging further explorations in this domain. It is hoped that smart cities can conduct overall planning for information security during the process of construction. Future researchers will be able to propose more effective solutions for smart city information security while developing information and communication technologies.

Purpose Smart city services are supported by information and communication technologies (ICT) referred to as digital technologies which increasingly promise huge opportunities for growth but are faced with system alignment and data integration issues when providing digital services. Therefore, this study aims to use enterprise architecture (EA) in digital transformation of cities by developing an architecture to address system alignment and data integration in digital transformation of cities. Design/methodology/approach Qualitative method is applied to evaluate the presented architecture based on electric-mobility (e-mobility) scenario, and data was collected using case study via interviews from a municipality in Norway to validate the applicability of EA for digital transformation of city services. Findings Findings from the interviews were represented in ArchiMate language to model the digital transformation of e-mobility in smart cities. Findings suggest that the architecture serves as a guide to recommend urban administrators of the potential of EA and digital transformation in addressing system alignment and data integration issues in smart cities. Research limitations/implications Data used in this study is from a single case, hence there is a need to evaluate the application of EA for digital transformation of city services with data collected from multi-cases. Practical implications This study adopts enterprise architecture approach to support city transformation as it has been widely applied by institutions to align business and ICT components. Social implications This study provides implication on how municipalities can use EA and digital transformations towards a sustainable smart city. Originality/value An architecture is presented that can be used as a guide to help urban developers and designers in deploying sustainable transport policies for smart cities. Additionally, EA is used to foster digitalization towards achieving system alignment and data integration in cities to support urban environment as they digitally transform services provided to citizens.

Smart Governance

Bogor City is one of the one hundred selected cities which are expected to implement Smart City. One component to realize Smart City is the implementation of e-government through the use of Information Technology (IT) through the Smart Governance dimension which is expected to be able to harmonize the implementation of the Bogor ICT integration strategy with the existing ICT masterplans. Based on this case, this study was aimed to make an application of the Enterprise Architecture framework to support the Smart City Masterplan in Bogor City. In addition, a comprehensive analysis of the current ICT conditions, gap analysis, and future targets for Bogor was carried out in this study. The data and information used in this study came from interviews with stakeholders in the Local Government Organization of Bogor, related documents, and information downloaded via the official sites of the Bogor city government. The method applied in this study was TOGAF ADM to design the Bogor Enterprise Architecture framework. The study provides recommendations for the design of Smart Governance Enterprise in the City of Bogor. In addition, based on the results of a gap analysis of business architecture, information systems and, technology, the need for an integrated system, interoperability, budget amount, ICT human resources, and ICT infrastructure needs to be improved, as well as the need for regulations and standards to protect Bogor City e-government products.
