Dr. Soo-Kyun Kim Dr. Imran Ghani Program Chairs of APIC-IST 2016 http://apicist.org/2016 06 Keynote Speaker Dr. Lin-huang Chang . Professor of Computer and information science, National Taichung Univ. Taiwan . Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering, State University of New York(SUNY) at Buffalo, USA Title : Hierarchical SDN system with heterogeneous WSN networks for forest illegal logging monitoring Software defined networking (SDN) has emerged as one promising networking architecture which provides dynamic adjustment and abstraction of the network resources and improves the network programmability with application programmable interfaces (APIs). The OpenFlow protocol which provides the communication between the controller and forwarders is a functional element to achieve SDN networking. Based on the network state information, acquired from forwards, the SDN controller is able to define per-flow decisions, such as QoS schemes, and push them to forwarders as flow table updates. In this talk, will propose a heterogeneous SDN network with 3-tier hierarchical architecture as the forest logging monitoring system. The 3-tier hierarchical architecture includes Tier-1 SND and controlling networks, Tier-2 WSN mesh networks, and Tier-3 heterogeneous wi-fi, WSN and sensing networks. The proposed forest logging monitoring system combines SDN networks with Internet of Things (IoTs) using WSN sensing nodes. The WSN sensing nodes are equipped with audio and/or image recognition algorithm for illegal forest logging monitoring. The designed heterogeneous SDN system provides network function virtualization (NFV) with four different services, such as Emergency Alert Service (EAS), Sensor Reporting Service (SRS), Video Stream Service (VSS), and Network Management Service (NMS). The proposed system will prevent the forest from illegal logging and thus preserve the environmental resources on forest exploitation appropriately http://apicist.org/2016 07 Keynote Speaker Dr. Akira Tanaka Professor, Graduate School of Information Science and Technology, Hokkaido University, Japan Title : Color

This project ran for a period of two years between February 1997 and January 1999. It was further extended to 25 CEEC and Mediterranean countries and a continuation phase for Member States was implemented in 2000 with a narrower scope. This report on Public Strategies for the Information Society in the Member States of the European Union has been produced to provide up-to-date and relevant information that would support the existing reports and database on the web site. ESIS holds information on a broad range of commercial and publicly funded Information Society application projects in Europe. It aims to provide a tool for benchmarking, knowledge, communication, partnership and the promotion of best practice examples. Furthermore, it can serve as a navigation tool for all key actors and help in the promotion of the Information Society in Europe. More precisely, ESIS combines four categories of information: · An inventory of projects, which is the core of ESIS. Projects must use ICT in an innovative, interactive way and provide remote access. They may concern a large number of social and economic sectors and be initiated by national, regional, public and private organisations, or through partnerships set up between public and private groups.

  • Lof Ormatiestromen En Gegevensbanken M De Parlementaire Werkzaamheden
    loformatiestromen en gegevensbanken m de parlementaire werkzaamheden door Louis V ANVEL THOVEN Voorzitter van de Vlaamse Raad "Een paar eeuwen geleden kon een wetenschapsmens nog beweren dat hij een ruime kennis had van zijn vak. De dag van heden is het zelfs voor specialisten in een bepaalde discipline niet meer mogelijk de evolutie op de voet te volgen. Wanneer een arts b.v. alle ontwikkelingen op medisch gebied zou willen kennen, dan zou 1 procent van deze informatie hem 5 uur lectuur per dag kosten. Gelukkig bestaat ook voor hem de computer. .. ". Zo luidt de inleiding van een artikel dat mij onder de titel "Kennis is nu nog meer macht" in een presentatienummer van EOS, een magazine voor wetenschap en technologie, onder ogen viel. Uiteraard maakte ik hierbij de associatie met de allegorie van F-16's en tweedekkers, die ik destijds heb gemaakt om het hemels­ brede verschil inzake toegang tot de informatie tussen de uitvoerende en de wet­ gevende macht aan de kaak te stellen. Bedenk daarbij dat de uitvoerende zowel als de wetgevende macht regelgevend moeten optreden in de brede waaier van materies die Staat, volk en burger aanbelangen. Vergeleken bij de arts, zou een politiek mandataris met 24 uur lectuur per dag nog tekort schieten. Als oplossing voor het probleem van de toegang tot de informatie en de daaruit voortvloeiende kenniswerving, wordt de computer steevast als een "deus ex ma­ china" naar voren geschoven. Met hem wordt de mens van een zwaar juk bevrijd en krijgt hij moeiteloos toegang tot de tuin van kennis en wetenschappen.

  • Difusió I Ús Social Del Videotext a Espanya
    La implantació del videotext des d’una perspectiva internacional Evolució de l’oferta i la demanda El nombre d’usuaris professionals va créixer de forma més lenta que la prevista; igualment, els usuaris domèstics mostraven poc interès en el servei. Aquest fet contrasta amb les previsions realitzades el maig de 1983 per Falk i Stengel (1983:7). Dins el marc del primer congrés espanyol de videotext, manifestaven que tot apuntava cap al fet que BTX seria el primer sistema videotext a escala mundial amb un fort impacte domèstic. Les previsions de creixement del servei realitzades per la DBP el 1982 calculaven que s’arribaria al milió d’abonats en quatre anys; una xifra que de seguida es veuria difícil d’assolir. Seguint la mateixa línia que Prestel, BTX també va reorientar-se cap al sector professional. No es renunciava, però, a llarg termini, a l’assoliment d’un públic més ampli. Kessler (1986:43) afirma que, per tal d’assegurar la supervivència del servei, en aquesta etapa es considerava prioritari aconseguir el més ràpidament possible una massa crítica suficient d’abonats. L’atenció prioritària als clients professionals es basava en la idea que aquests usuaris podien tenir motivacions més precises, lligades a la seva activitat laboral, per abonar- se al servei. El 1985 s’inicià una nova campanya de màrqueting adreçada a sectors professionals concrets (assegurances, agències de viatges, banca...) 204. Al mateix temps, també s’impulsaren altres actuacions per tal d’aconseguir l’ampliació del nombre d’usuaris (fonamentalment l’oferiment del lloguer del terminal a un preu més assequible).
