Algebraic Formalization of Sustainability in Smart University Ranking System

The validity, truthfulness, and reliability of obtained results are of great value when it comes to theory and, specifically, when it comes to risk-free implementations of theoretical research outcomes, deliverables, and findings in practice. The reliability is particularly significant for people who are dependable on outcomes of innovative approaches and developments for human society, such as pedagogy, general theory of education, e-learning, economics, finance, etc. This paper presents the up-to-date outcomes of an on-going research and development project on analysis, design, and engineering of smart educational systems in general and, in particular, theoretical justification of the introduced smart university concept based on the algebraic formalization of smart systems. The obtained theoretical outcomes and findings were successfully validated by their application to an evaluation of sustainability of various universities’ ranking systems.
