Abstract
The development of Smart University ideas and concepts started just several years ago. Despite obvious progress in this area, though, the concepts and principles of this new trend are not clarified in full yet due to obvious innovativeness of this concept, as well as numerous types of smart systems, smart technologies and smart devices available to academic institutions, students and learners. This paper presents the outcomes of a research project aimed at the development of formal methodology for a description and modeling of smart universities as a system based on an algebraic formalization of general systems’ theory, theory of algebraic systems, theory of groups, and generalizations of purities. The ultimate goal of this research project is to identify formal mathematical conditions for a system—smart university—to become an efficient and/or innovative system.
