Recap of Digital Governance in India 1.1. Good Governance is Digital Governance It is now widely acknowledged that in Good Governance, information is used strategically for public good and welfare of people. And in case of bad governance, the same information is used for private gains and suppression of constituents. In either forms of governance, the selective use of information creates hierarchal structures on which power is unequally distributed. Some facts on the role of information in governance are as follows: • Access to information forms the basis of decision-making (which could be for public good or private gains). • Well-informed decision-making is dependent on the quality and timeliness of information available. • Limiting access to information to an exclusive group without rationale and commensurate responsibilities opens up avenue for manipulation of information for exploitative purposes and private gains. Hence it is evident from above that Information Technology (IT) can play various roles to help in Good Governance which are as follows: • Technical Role: Automation of repetitive governance tasks and thereby improving efficiency of governance processes. For example, automated filing of utility bills, tax forms, e-voting, periodic information reporting and so on. • Supportive Role: Use of Information and Communication Technology to complement existing efforts and processes to improve governance. For example, use of internet to catalyse existing efforts towards transparency in government information and functioning or embedding use of social media and emails in connecting decision-makers with their constituencies. • Innovative and Disruptive Role: Use of Information and Communication Technology to initiate new governance services or new mechanisms for improved service delivery which would have not been impossible through non-ICT modes. With the advent of mobile enabled connectivity, can we have newer models of service delivery in crucial areas of Health, Security and so on ? Introduction of Digital Governance ensures that citizens can participate in and influence decision-making processes, which affect them closely. Citizens no longer remain passive recipients of governance services provided to them, but can pro-actively decide the types and standards of governance services that they want and the governance structures which can best deliver them. It is visible today that Digital Governance transforms governance from representative to a more individual based participation form, and from passive to being pro- active. Further as use of digital governance leads to closer contact of citizen with decision-makers/officials in the government, the impact is immediate. On the whole, it puts greater access and control over governance mechanism in the hands of citizen, and in process leads to more transparent, accountable and efficient governance. 1.2. Digital Governance in India India moved into the Digital era long time back. The Passenger Reservation System (PRS), when launched, was one of the pioneers to provide the disruptive way of ticket booking. The transformation of Stock Exchanges and Depositary Services demonstrated that it is Information Technology which can handle the scale and holistic Background Paper | 7 transformation of our country. Banks with Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) was the next revolution which took the banking services to the doorsteps of citizens in the country, and now will be the era of Direct Benefit Transfer, which will allow social transformation. The National e-Governance Plan (NeGP) was ultimately defined to take the Government to the citizens’ doorsteps. It planned to do the following: • Create Digital Infrastructure, for example State Data Center (SDC), State Wide area Network (SWAN) and so on • Remove Digital Divide by establishing Assisted Computer/Internet usage (Common Service Centre (CSC)) and also by incorporating concept of facilitation centre in individual projects. Call Centres were the other mechanisms which have been used. Build capacity to plan, Execute and absorb technology Create the interoperability infrastructure and the Electronic Service Delivery Infrastructure at local level of Governance The Plan created Mission Mode Projects (MMPs), which were to be implemented by various Line Ministries (functional Ministries). The execution could have been at the Central level/state level/ or both Centre & state level. The key to the success of the project has been the design and implementation. The projects like MCA21 and Passport Seva has set-up the benchmark for impact of e-Governance Projects. The key reason of the success being the clarity of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and Ministry of External Affairs in building the concept & the resolve to implement the project holistically. The consistent and continuous tracking of the milestones and measurement of success points have ensured that the benefits are available and visible. Both these projects are also a live example of successful Public Private Partnership. MCA21 also broke the myth of vendor lock-in (with private parties) as it changed hands in the year 2013 from one private sector service provider to the second private sector service provider. With successful transition and exit management methodology, India has moved on to the next level of maturity in Digital Governance. Taxation, both in Direct and Indirect Taxation, has been another area of transformation using Information Technology. Central Board of Direct Taxes and Central Board of Excise & Customs have progressively build a system which has brought the transformation. Though there is lot still to be done, the achievement made till now has been significant. Most of the states have ensured that the Value Added Taxation system is automated and is helping the states to augment the revenues. The Expenditure Management Systems in many states have real time dashboards with Integrated Financial Management Systems and some of the states do present the budgets online. The Digital Companies in the three states Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh are doing well and are providing range of citizen services through franchise and Citizen Service Center (CSC) thereby bridging the digital divide. Some of the other Departments in the states have made significant progress. Notably in Delhi, the water billing system and Excise department for collection of excise revenue. Andhra Pradesh has used technology to implement many of the Social Sector program and MNREGA implementation needs specific mention. Mahatma Gandhi Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA) at Andhra Pradesh tried to use technology with all the limitation (due to connectivity problem) to the best possible way. It has been appreciated by the audit bodies as well. The Central Government besides building up systems like MCA21, CBEC, UIDAI etc., had many other success stories also. Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs, built a regulatory system for the Diaspora to regulate 8 | Background Paper the appointments

  • The Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) and the Challenge of Public Warning Date: 15/05/2017 to 21/05/2017 Summary
    Expert: Eliot Christian Title of the Session: The Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) and the Challenge of Public Warning Date: 15/05/2017 to 21/05/2017 Summary Societies around the world are engaged in a profound revolution in emergency alerting. Enabled by uptake of the international standard Common Alerting Protocol, all manner of communications networks can now be leveraged to get alerts to everyone who needs them, wherever they are and whatever they are doing. With these new capabilities, it is clear that many lives can be saved and livelihoods protected as emergency alerting becomes more available, more precise, more reliable, completely secure, and as fast as it can be. Context Getting Public Warnings to People Online To help disseminate public warnings, alerting authorities have long relied on commercial media, such as newswires, broadcast radio and television. Television stations insert "crawl text" with the warning message; radio stations insert a recording. This public-private collaboration has required huge investments in specialized technology. Now people are using cell phones and online media more and more. Do societies worldwide need a new round of huge investments in specialized technology to get warnings to all these people online? Actually, huge new investments are not needed. Online media and alerting authorities already developed ways to get warnings to cell phones and people online, at minimal cost. The Hazard App developed by the Red Cross Global Disaster Preparedness Center (GDPC) is one example. As part of the Universal App Program, GDPC partners with Red Cross and Red Crescent national societies to develop First Aid and Hazard alerting apps.

  • App Integration: the Future of How Smartphones Interface with Infotainment Systems App Integration: the Future of How Smartphones Interface with Infotainment Systems
    App integration: The future of how smartphones interface with infotainment systems App integration: The future of how smartphones interface with infotainment systems he average driver today is an avid smartphone app user, and most want to use some, or all, of these apps in the car. However, most consumers find using their smartphone in T their car while driving distracting; 82% of new car buyers in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and China told IHS this in its Connected Car consumer survey. Controlling smartphone apps via the car’s human machine interface (HMI) does not eliminate all distraction problems, but is certainly an improvement. The solution is smartphone app integration software platforms, which are now so plentiful that two hands are needed to count the various contenders. There are basically two ways of doing this: • Modify the smartphone operating system (OS): Makes the smartphone’s OS interface with an in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) system’s HMI. These are often called screen projection mode solutions or screen mirroring solutions. This will also require specific middleware on each infotainment system that uses this variant of smartphone app integration. This middleware will implement restrictions on what content can be shown while driving to reduce driver distractions. The main advantage is that there will be minimal or no change needed by the app developers. Typically, this type of solution requires minimal updates by developers to extend their apps to work with these projection mode technologies, through an application program interface (API). Apple CarPlay and Android Auto take this approach. • Create an intermediate app platform: Connects the smartphone to the in-vehicle HMI.

    Downloaded by [University of Liverpool] at 00:53 06 January 2017 DIGITAL SOCIOLOGY We now live in a digital society. New digital technologies have had a profound infl uence on everyday life, social relations, government, commerce, the economy and the production and dissemination of knowledge. People’s movements in space, their purchasing habits and their online communication with others are now monitored in detail by digital technologies. We are increasingly becoming digital data subjects, whether we like it or not, and whether we choose this or not. The sub- discipline of digital sociology provides a means by which the impact, development and use of these technologies and their incor- poration into social worlds, social institutions and concepts of selfhood and embodiment may be investigated, analysed and understood. This book introduces a range of interesting social, cultural and political dimensions of digital society and discusses some of the important debates occurring in research and scholarship on these aspects. It covers the new knowledge economy and big data, reconceptualising research in the digital era, the digitisation of higher education, the diversity of digital use, digital politics and citizen digital engagement, the politics of surveillance, privacy issues, the contribution of digital devices to embodiment and concepts of selfhood, and many other topics. Digital Sociology is essential reading not only for students and academics in sociology, anthropology, media and communication, digital cultures, Downloaded by [University of Liverpool] at 00:53 06 January 2017 digital humanities, internet studies, science and technology studies, cultural geography and social computing, but for other readers inter- ested in the social impact of digital technologies.

  • Network Independent Social-Offline-Map-Mashup
    Reuter et al. SOMAP: Network-Independent Social-Offline-Map-Mashup SOMAP: Network Independent Social-Offline-Map-Mashup Christian Reuter, Thomas Ludwig, Timo Funke, Volkmar Pipek University of Siegen, Institute for Information Systems {christian.reuter; thomas.ludwig; timo.funke; volkmar.pipek}uni-siegen.de ABSTRACT Maps, showing the tactical or the administrative situation at any particular time, play a central role in disaster management. They can be realized as interactive map mashups. In addition to classical information (weather, water levels, energy network, forces), they can also be used to present a view on citizen-generated content, e.g. from social media. In this paper we offer insights into how mobile map mashups can assist citizens during infrastructure failures that often occur in large-scale emergencies. Based on a review of approaches and mobile applications from literature and especially from practice, we present SOMAP (social offline map), a mobile app we developed in Android. It offers offline map functionality in terms of (A) pro-active loading and storing of potentially needed maps of the respective area as well as (B) the possibility of exchanging information from social media using Bluetooth. The application was evaluated qualitatively, to gain insights into the potential of such applications. Keywords Map Mashups, Mobile Applications, Offline Maps, OpenStreetMap, Social Media INTRODUCTION The rapid exchange of information is highly important in crisis management to help affected people and to minimize damages. For several years, it has been observed that the use of social platforms in crisis situations has been steadily increasing; for instance during the heavy floods in Germany in June 2013 (Reuter, Ludwig, Kaufhold, et al., 2015).
