An Intelligent Machine-Driven Perspective to Archaeological Pottery Reassembly
Authors: Sakpere Wilson , Gallerani Valentina
Published: August 2020

Information and communication technologies (ICT) have been at the centre of most innovations. With applications in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields, it has become prevalent in business, art, and humanities disciplines, among others, as well. Among the potential applications of ICT in social sciences and digital humanities, documentation and reconstruction of archaeological artefacts have garnered interest and resulted in several studies. This is because of the potential inherent in these artefacts for archaeological and historical studies. However, regarding pottery reassembly, challenges are experienced in implementing an optimal solution entailing high standards. Although existing studies attempted to solve these challenges, a high standard solution is still elusive. This article presents an approach to a machine-driven solution that intends to use computer vision and machine learning, whose potential is yet to be felt in pottery reassembly. This investigation, still at an early stage, has profound implications for future studies in pottery studies in general.

Authors: Zgank Andrej , Vlaj Damjan
Published: August 2020

The chapter presents acoustic presence detection, which can be applied to support the smart home system with information about the presence of humans in the environment. The acoustic presence detection is based on digital signal processing and machine learning methods, with the objective to classify the captured audio signal into the corresponding class. An analysis of different audio capturing devices for a smart home environment from the perspective of acoustic presence detection will be carried out. The presence detection task consists of voice activity detection, feature extraction, and classification. The extension of acoustic presence detection with additional information about the user's characteristics is proposed. This information can be used to optimize the smart home human-computer interface with personalization and customization functionalities.
Improving the Integration of Distributed Applications
Authors: Delgado José Carlos Martins
Published: August 2020

The interaction of distributed applications raises an integration problem that needs to be solved. Current integration technologies, such as Web Services and RESTful APIs, solve the interoperability problem but usually entail more coupling than required by the interacting applications. This is caused by sharing data schemas between applications, even if not all features of those schemas are actually exercised. The fundamental problem of application integration is therefore how to provide at most the minimum coupling possible while ensuring at least the minimum interoperability requirements. This article proposes compliance and conformance as the concepts to achieve this goal, by sharing only the subset of the features of the data schema that are actually used.
A Survey of Tasks Scheduling Algorithms in Distributed Computing Systems
Authors: Chauhan Nutan Kumari , Kumar Harendra
Published: August 2020

Distributed computing system (DCS) is a very popular field of computer science. DCS consists of various computers (processors) located at possibly different sites and connected by a communication link in such a manner that it appears as one system to the user. Tasks scheduling is a very interesting field of research in DCS. The main objectives of tasks scheduling problems are load balancing of processors, maximization of system reliability, minimizing the system cost, and minimizing the response time. Obviously, it is very complicated to satisfy all of the above objectives simultaneously. So, most of the researchers have solved the tasks scheduling problem with one or more objectives. The purpose of this chapter is to produce an overview of much (certainly not all) of tasks scheduling algorithms. The chapter is covering the little much valuable survey, tasks scheduling strategies, and different approaches used for tasks scheduling with one or more objectives.
Field-Programmable Gate Array
Authors: Véstias Mário Pereira
Published: August 2020

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are integrated circuits whose logic and their interconnections are configurable. These devices are field-programmable, that is, they can be configured by the hardware designer without any intervention of the manufacturer. Most FPGAs can be reprogrammed as many times as we want with a vast variety of digital circuits. Some recent FPGA families are system-on-chips (SoC) with one or more microprocessor cores, memory, cache, and reconfigurable logic allowing the implementation of complex hardware/software systems in a single programmable device. This article focuses on the architecture of FPGAs, including the so called SoC FPGA. It explains the main blocks of the FPGA, how they have evolved along the last decades and the perspectives of next generation FPGAs. It also describes some applicability areas and how its architecture have evolved to adapt to some of these target markets.

Authors: Lu Shen , Segall Richard S.
Published: August 2020

Big data is large-scale data and can be either discrete or continuous. This article entails research that discusses the continuous case of big data often called “data streaming.” More and more businesses will depend on being able to process and make decisions on streams of data. This article utilizes the algorithmic side of data stream processing often called “stream analytics” or “stream mining.” Data streaming Windows Join can be improved by using graphics processing unit (GPU) for higher performance computing. Data streams are generated by two independent threads: one thread can be used to generate Data Stream A, and the other thread can be used to generate Data Stream B. One would use a Windows Join thread to merge the two data streams, which is also the process of “Data Stream Window Join.” The Window Join process can be implemented in parallel that can efficiently improve the computing speed. Experiments are provided for Data Stream Window Joins using both static and dynamic data.

Published: August 2020

Smart grid technology is a radical approach for improvisation in existing power grid. Some of the significant features of smart grid technology are bidirectional communication, AMI, SCADA, renewable integration, active consumer participation, distribution automation, and complete management of entire grid through wireless communication standards and technologies. Management of complex, hierarchical, and heterogeneous smart grid infrastructure requires data collection, storage, processing, analysis, retrieval, and communication for self-healing and complete automation. Data mining techniques can be an effective solution for smart grid operation and management. Data mining is a computational process for data analysis. Data scrutiny is unavoidable for unambiguous knowledge discovery as well as decision making practices. Data mining is inevitable for analysis of various statistics associated with power generation, distribution automation, data communications, billing, consumer participation, and fault diagnosis in smart power grid.

Authors: Rivera-Trigueros Irene , Olvera-Lobo María-Dolores , Gutiérrez-Artacho Juncal
Published: August 2020

Access to information is increasingly global, which brings with it the growth in a non-English speaking public and, as such, a demand for tools that allow users to access this information. Faced with this scenario, the development of new tools and technologies is essential. This is the case of machine translation (MT), one of the most popular and used tools to overcome linguistic barriers. As a result, linguistic companies are increasingly offering services related to MT. In addition, MT systems can be integrated with other tools and resources such as Translation Memories or multilingual terminology databases in order to improve the efficacy of the translation process. In this chapter an overview of MT development since its early beginnings in the late 1950s until the present day is proposed. The evolution of MT techniques will be reviewed starting from the traditional approaches—statistical and rule-based MT—and finishing with the latest trends, which include hybrid MT systems, adaptive and neural MT.

Over the last two decades, networks science has been developed into a systematic tool for the study and analysis of networks of different types. Mainly, for the analysis of complex networks, it is the first choice irrespective of the discipline. In order to design elegant systems and to understand the complexities of the nature, scientists and engineers encounter many networks. Understanding of those networks provides basis for the resolution of the underlying complexities. Communication tools and devices have become ubiquitous these days due to the proliferation of the Internet and mobile networks. Communication networks have become gigantic and their characteristics have become very complex. Their complexities can be understood using network scientific methods developed for complex networks in network science. In this article, we provide the origin, characteristics, and main utilities of network science. We explain that the models of network science can be applied to estimate the parameters of the communication networks. It can assist in the practical cost estimations as well.
Formal Verification of ZigBee-Based Routing Protocol for Smart Grids
Authors: Rashid Adnan , Hasan Osman
Published: August 2020

Smart grids provide a digital upgradation of the conventional power grids by alleviating the power outages and voltage sags that occur due to their inefficient communication technologies and systems. They mainly tend to strengthen the efficiency, performance, and reliability of the traditional grids by establishing a trusted communication link between their different components through routing protocols. The conventional methods, i.e., the computer-based simulations and net testing, for analyzing these routing network protocols are error-prone and thus cannot be relied upon while analyzing the safety-critical smart grid systems. Formal methods can cater for the above-mentioned inaccuracies and thus can be very beneficial in analyzing communication protocols used in smart grids. In order to demonstrate the utilization and effectiveness of formal methods in analyzing smart grid routing protocols, we use the UPPAAL model checker to formally model the ZigBee-based routing protocol. We also verify some of its properties, such as, liveness, collision avoidance and deadlock freeness.

Authors: Dhar Suparna , Bose Indranil , Khan Mohammed Naved
Published: August 2020

Digital social networking (DSN) sites such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, have brought about changes in the way people communicate, interact, and affected human lifestyle across the world. The phenomenon has permeated geographical and cultural boundaries, disregarded age and gender barriers, diffused social and economic strata, and transgressed linguistic and ethnic boundaries. Such widespread and intense impact of technology on human life is unprecedented in human history triggers academic interest in the phenomenon. The unique opportunities offered by digitization of social networking, the novel capabilities of information dissemination and foraging on DSN sites, along with widespread adoption necessitates theoretical interpretation of antecedents and consequences of DSN adoption. In this chapter, the authors offer a social capital perspective of DSN adoption.
Digital Documents
Authors: Dimou Anastasios , Syropoulos Apostolos
Published: August 2020

Digital documents tend to replace printed documents in many ways. For publishers it is cheaper to produce them and readers can get them instantly. However, the spectrum of “printed” material is quite big and so there is no way to have one kind of digital document that can satisfy all those involved in the publishing business (e.g., authors, readers, publishers, etc.). Digital document appeared in the 1960s and ever since they evolve. Sometimes this evolution process is slow and sometimes it's rapid, but the fact is that today there a plethora of digital document forms that can be used for many and different tasks and most of them are briefly documented here.
Adapting a Requirements Engineering Process by Key Factors Estimation
Authors: Hadad Graciela Dora Susana , Doorn Jorge Horacio , Ledesma Viviana Alejandra
Published: August 2020

Literature mainly focuses the adaptation of any requirements engineering process on the possible variations of elicitation techniques, mainly due to information sources characteristics. However, these particularities, usually called situational factors, are seldom considered in other activities of the requirements process. Most situational factors, when considered in software projects, have a high influence on the requirements process. Therefore, the different situations that may attempt against or may favor a successful requirements process should be identified at the beginning of the project. Additionally, some of such factors may evolve along software development life cycle; this should motivate a reengineering of the requirements process at some strategic milestones. In this chapter, a process for constructing and dynamically adapting a requirements process is proposed, focusing on the evolving factors. The process follows rules based on different combinations of situational factors at specific control points and manages a repository of process blocks to perform the tailoring.
Digital Tools Aimed to Represent Urban Survey
Authors: Boido Cristina , Davico Pia , Spallone Roberta
Published: August 2020

Since the affirmation, in the Sixties, of urban survey as a discipline in the field of drawing disciplines, it aimed to represent on a plan a set of three-dimensional data. Digital revolution allows representing urban tissues by 3D models that can collect a lot of information related to the buildings, becoming real data base. Today, these models fulfill the need for update representations of urban settings, aimed both to critical studies on historical city and to manage the ongoing transformations. Moreover, these representations could become the urban scenarios for simulations and checks of master plans and architectural designs in their relationships with the built environment. Several new tools of urban procedural modeling, BIM modeling and web resources allow generating urban 3D models. The authors of this proposal will compare the knowledge and informative capabilities of different new technologies for urban modeling, through an overview of international researches, case studies, and also some experiences personally conducted.

This chapter presents all the concepts, techniques, and analyses in relation to the problem of reengineering existing (legacy) systems towards new technologies. Reengineering is a sub-problem of software engineering. It is the study and analysis of an existing system for purposes of understanding, maintenance, or migration towards new technologies that arise from day to day, without rewriting the software from scratch. This will save us time and money in the software development process. Author's objective is not to create new terms, but to introduce the terms already in use with new perspectives. So in this chapter, definitions and techniques are introduced, taxonomies and models are proposed, relevant questions are answered, some specialized conferences and journals are listed and compared; all this to highlight the ways to authors who are interested in writing research papers or surveys in the software reengineering field.
Climate Change
Authors: Onuoha Oragwa Mgbeodichinma Eucharia
Published: August 2020

Climate change caused by the anthropogenic accumulation of greenhouse gasses in the air is affecting all life on earth and bearing upon human undertakings thereby representing the most complicated challenge of our time. Across cultures, the impacts of climate change affect women and men differently. Although women being disproportionately impacted by climate change, they play a key role in adapting and mitigating climate change. This is why UN-Climate Change negotiations have incorporated gender action plans to guarantee equal room and resources for women and men for decision-making and action on climate change at all levels. For instance, a gender-sensitive approach to climate finance is increasingly being used to better tackle future gender inequalities as seen in the green climate fund scenario. The purpose of this paper is to encourage awareness of importance of gender and cultural diversity inclusion in climate change actions.
Gendering Information and Communication Technologies in Climate Change
Authors: Wong Sam
Published: August 2020

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have long been seen as a solution to problems associated with climate change. Their effectiveness has, however, been questioned for not taking gender seriously. This paper tries to explain why, and how, women are more constrained than men from using ICTs in tackling climate change. Women have less access to technology information and finance and suffer greater deprivation in terms of land rights. Intersected with the analysis of class, this chapter also examines why poor, working class households are less represented in decision-making in policy design and resource allocations. To address the gender inequalities, this paper calls for a need to contextualise the process of gender mainstreaming and to scrutinise the interplay between old and new institutions in gender inclusion. Apart from advocating gender-sensitive funding mechanisms for needy women, and men, it also suggests a deeper understanding of the agency-structure dynamics and the gender-class interactions in tackling digital exclusion.
National Systems of Innovation Using an Application on EU Data
Authors: Korres George M. , Michailidis Maria P.
Published: August 2020

The growing importance of technological change in world production and employment is one of the characteristics of the last four decades. Technological change is not only a determinant of growth, but also affects the international competition and the modernisation of a country. The “science policy” is concerned with education and the stock of knowledge. “Technology policy” is concerned with the adoption and use of techniques, innovation, and diffusion of techniques. The division between the areas and variables of science policy and technology policy is not so clear. The term of “technological policy” indicates the national technological capabilities and also the structure and the planning on research and development. This paper attempts to review the theory and the current literature of the national systems of innovation. Furthermore, it attempts to apply some statistical measurement and indices in order to estimate the effects and the implications on EU innovation systems member states. For this purpose, a presentation of data and indicators has been applied.
A Good American President
Authors: George James , Murrar Abdullah , Chaudhary Pankaj , Rodger James Allen
Published: August 2020

This chapter describes political engineering at an atomic level, that is, addressing what makes a competent elected official and using the office of president of the United States as an example. The authors published a series of books and associated papers that presented the overall construct in applying systems engineering and information technology to improving government systems and performance. Here is a demonstration in applying concepts to help citizen-voters strengthen their ability to analyze and evaluate the candidate and incumbent performance with a standard approach and criteria. Since political parties have a responsibility in vetting candidates bearing their brand, the authors encourage political leaders to focus on improving their process because citizens depend on them for candidate quality and integrity. Being a part of pluralistic democracy is a serious responsibility that requires continuous improvement.
Local Government, Decentralisation, Devolution, and Service Delivery in Zimbabwe
Authors: Zinyama Tawanda
Published: August 2020

Zimbabwe is one of only a handful of countries in sub-Saharan Africa that have taken part in the wave of decentralisation and devolution. The process differs from the efforts of the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s in that this time the government of Zimbabwe seems ready to cede real power to the lower levels. It is also taking place alongside broad economic and political reforms. Devolution of power is enshrined in Zimbabwe's 2013 Constitution as one of the country's founding values and principles. However, as was the case with in the 2000s, it is sometimes easy to romanticise about the benefits of devolution, thus, fail to take into account the detailed work required before it benefits people at the local level. The devolved administrations exercise considerable autonomy when it comes to tackling poverty: for instance, major areas of economic development, education, health, and housing policy are the responsibility of the devolved institutions. Moreover, the devolved bodies have complete autonomy over how they allocate their budgets.
Software Literacy as a Vital Digital Literacy in a Software-Saturated World
Authors: Hight Craig , Khoo Elaine
Published: August 2020

Software mediates almost every aspect of everyday life. None of these tools are ‘neutral'. They embody social and cultural assumptions about their use and all have particular values embedded in their interfaces and affordances. This article proposes the notion of ‘software literacy' to highlight a neglected aspect of digital literacies, and a key means of conceptualising the skills and understandings needed for people to be critical and creative users of software in today's software saturated culture. This contribution argues for the relevancy of software literacy as deeply intertwined with people's engagement with software and how it influences the way people come to understand, represent, generate, and critique knowledge.

In particular, they discuss how the economy can change by incorporating ICTS in all areas of economic activity. In addition, they examine how Greece, which is a typical example of a country thar emerges from a long crisis, can be benefited by such an incorporation. Also, they discuss how primary and secondary schools should adapt their curricula so that their graduates have a certain understanding of key technologies and have the required knowledge to tackle a number of problems.
Dimensions of the Digital Divide
Authors: Leaning Marcus , Averweg Udo Richard
Published: August 2020

The digital divide is a term used to describe a difference in the use of digital media between and within populations. As understanding of the divide has progressed, conceptualizing the various reasons people are not able to avail themselves of the potency of computers and the internet has become more sophisticated. In this article, the authors contend that the idea of the digital divide can be understood to operate in a range of different ‘dimensions'. Previous work on the topic has identified different historically situated ‘orders' of the digital divide and in some ways the dimensions under consideration here match these. However, such accounts tend to locate the forms of divide as occurring sequentially and that the latest form of divide presents the most prescient problems. In contrast the authors contend that the differing forms are still present and that the problem is a multi-faceted one which requires a multi-level approach to address. In this chapter the authors consider the three main dimensions that impact upon a person's ability to make use of digital media.
Importance of Digital Literacy and Hindrance Brought About by Digital Divide
Authors: Jamil Mohammad Izzuddin Mohammed , Almunawar Mohammad Nabil
Published: August 2020

This century has seen one of the most rapid advancements in technology, and more innovative devices spawn every year. In particular, technology in the form of digital media is being used as a medium, such as for buying and selling, education, information exchange, and communication. It is vital to understand the importance of digital literacy. Digital literacy is steadily rising across the globe, giving a good indication of progress. However, one of the major hindrances to digital literacy is the digital divide. Across the globe, the former is able to reap the full benefits of media platforms while the latter would still succumb to the old ways, halting progress. The digital divide is a phenomenon that must be overcome to prevent the uneven rate of digital literacy. This paper argues that having a certain degree of digital literacy is important in both developing and developed countries. With the digital divide significantly hurdling the progress of digital literacy, the paper would then suggest ways and methods of tackling the digital divide.

Authors: Zaluchu Sonny , Nur Juniati Waruwu  , Eirene Kardiani Gulo
Published: August 2020

Penelitian ini hendak mengungkap konsep harapan mesianik (messianic hope) yang terdapat di dalam kitab Ester. Pendekatan yang dilakukan untuk menjelaskannya adalah pencarian makna teologis (theological meaning), pemakaian hermeneutik akrostik (acrostics hermeneutic) dan pemakaian konten narasi (narrative content). Hasil dari pendekatan ketiganya memperlihatkan bahwa kitab Ester bukan sekedar sebuah roman sejarah melainkan cara kerja Tuhan di dalam kehidupan manusia untuk menyelamatkan, dan campur tangan-Nya di dalam membentuk sejarah umat-Nya. Kitab ini sangat kuat menggemakan harapan mesianik melalui penyelamatan dan pemeliharaan bangsa Yahudi di dalam wilayah kekaisaran Persia dan Media. Plotnya sama dengan rencana besar Allah mengirim Yesus ke dalam dunia untuk menyelamatkan orang dari hukuman kekal dosa.

Published: August 2020

It will not be possible to transform the Swiss electricity system with technological solutions alone. The shaping of market conditions and regulations will be at least as important. These market conditions and regulations need to guide economic resources in the right direction through the provision of incentives and possible solutions. And it is here that action needs to be taken.
Compressive Strength of Fly Ash Based Geopolymer Concrete Addition with Fibers
Authors: V Bhargavi, B Anitha Rani
Published: August 2020

Concrete is the most widely used construction material all over the world. The quantity of the water plays
an important role in the preparation of concrete. And the demand of concrete is increasing day by day and
cement is used for satisfying the need of development of infrastructure facilities, 1 tonne cement production
generates 1 tonne CO2, which adversely affect the environment. In order to reduce the use of OPC and CO2
generation, the new generation concrete has been developed such as Geopolymer concrete (GPC).
Geopolymers are inorganic polymers and their chemical composition is similar to natural materials.
Geopolymer binders are the alternatives in the development of acid resistant concrete i.e. durability of
concrete. Geopolymer concrete is produced using Fly ash at 100% replacement to cement and binders like
NaOH, Na2SiO3 to ignite the geopolymerisation. Many studies were carried out on properties of geopolymer
concrete. This study focuses on enhancing the strength of geopolymer concrete by using fibers. 60% polyester
and 40% polypropylene fibers are added to geopolymer concrete addition with Fly ash content. The trail
mixes were casted with addition of fibers at different percentages like (0.20, 0.25, 0.30, 0.35, 0.40, 0.45 and
0.50 %). Then samples were air-cured for 28 days at ambient temperature. Compressive strength test is
conducted on the samples after 3, 7 and 28 days. The optimum value is obtained at 0.40% addition of fibers
when compared to nominal mix(GPC).

El presente trabajo doctrinal versa sobre una materia que ha provocado una fuerte discusión, tanto jurídica como práctica, cual es si tras las Sentencias del Tribunal Constitucional, dictadas en materia de plusvalía, el impuesto municipal que grava la misma ha quedado inoperativo, o que dicha cuestión era matizable, diferenciados dos supuestos: aquellos en los que si existía plusvalía, de aquellos otros en los que solamente la misma era de carácter nominal, y lo que realmente se había producido era una minusvalía en la transmisión objeto de gravamen.
