Optimizing Public Transport Schedules to Minimize Energy Use and Wait Times
Public transport system plays an important role in any city to travel through it seamlessly with reduced individual effort and it also improves several other factors like congestion and the environment. The authorities of the public transport company must strive to improve policymaking by using tools to attain effective utilization of energy while increasing their capabilities of serving more individuals. E-participation is one of the categories that can be used to collect feedback and improve the schedules by simply enabling a click of the button for a more suitable schedule by everyone. For instance, by enabling a new option to “choose my schedule” can be included in the already existing “Ventra App” in Chicago to group the individuals and have a definitive schedule that would serve the maximum people and eliminating the less effective schedules thereby minimizing energy use.
Coming to the passenger wait times, again e-participation can be an effective tool wherein an app that runs on web 2.0 and is build using android/ iOS can be used to record the arrivals of the passengers and align the schedules. Also, the opinion mining tools like RapidMiner can be used to collect the opinions of the users and classify them based on their intents/ opinions on the currents timings and then modifying the policies to reduce the wait times. These tools can collect data from all the variety of sources and then use machine learning approaches to derive an optimized schedule that improves the efficiency and thereby reducing the wait times.
Importance of tools in policymaking
In an organization, the development of the business always lies with the implementation of some techniques in the system that is actually related to making the policy in the system. The technologies that are seen to be used in the system certainly have some importance when defining the process in the system and identifying the process during the time of communication-related to the information is always important for making the policy. The techniques that are seen to be used by the organization in the system certainly have some important steps to follow during the time of developing a policy in the system (Furlan, Torresan, Ronco, Critto, Breil, Kontogianni & Marcomini, 20 ...

Developing Policies
For an active policy in an organization, the following tools should be used while formulating policies; Opinion mining and Big data analytics. To be able to make effective policies that will be used to optimize train and bus schedules, energy consumption and the reduction of the time used by the passengers in a Smart City area. Opinion mining would help in finding out what kind of challenges that passengers face while boarding trains and buses (Charalabidis, Maragoudakis, & Loukis, 2015); Some of the problems could be on the arrival of buses and trains, congestions at the stations. The policymaker would consider such factors while making a policy that will make sure that, all the trains and buses arrive on time and that all the booking booths at the station have enough workers to serve the customers well with less waste of time. The policy that would be made from the public through opinion mining will be widely accepted, as the policymakers would make policies following the matters on the ground (bus and train station).
Most of the government policies are made by relying on Big Data (Kim, Trimi, & Chung, 2014). Since the information that is obtained from the big data analysis would assist in making quality decisions, the use of Big data analytics will help in the making of policies, as the compiled data from past would be analyzed and the challenges that were faced, are facing or will be facing the bus and railway transport can be established. Some of the policies that would be made as a result of using the Big data analytics would be; every train or a bus should follow its schedule failure to what it be charged in the court of law since it has been discovered that most of the congestion has been as a result of rains and buses failing to stick and follow their schedules.

The resulting analysis of policymakers in designing a good, active policy, and providing the rationale for implementing it. Their presentation of tools and insights on the most effective tools can be crucial, and will also help strengthen the relationship between government and civil society, and between government and civil society experts in the field as diverse as political science, philosophy, and economics. In policy-making these two tools as follows
Visualization Tools: Visualisation tools are ideal mainly for information provision, namely for presenting data in a user-friendly, easy-to-grasp representation. These tools can be used in any stage of the policy cycle, wherever the need for demographic, social, or spatial data representation emerges. For example, they can be used during the decision-making stage in order to fine-tune new policies, during the implementation and evaluation stage in order to understand whether the application of a particular policy brought any changes or even during the agenda-setting stage in order to identify problems that should be addressed with policies.

Tools and Technologies for Making Policies.
With the current technologies advancement in the field of information and communication policy making processes is faced with numerous opportunities to make it look modern to enhance efficiency and help develop great policies that can help optimize and minimize waiting time for passengers.
With the help of enhanced data collection and processing capabilitiesin train environment, there will be reduced time taken in working on and interpreting data related to passenger and train movement. Data mining technologies will be used to process passenger information and provide timely schedules using computer aided decisions. With increased human resource coordination, higher technology in data collection and processing strategies, there will be timely schedule and in the smart city environment (Kamateri, Panopoulou, Tambouris, Tarabanis, Ojo, Lee, & Price, 2015).
The provision of education, training and outcome hearing is a major factor that need consideration in reducing train waiting time and improve time scheduling. This way will reduce energy wastage and also make a great contribution to the success of all other tools and technologies. These all are procedural tools that follow each other where understanding and proper implementing them will yield great results. Incorporating the above two tools and technologies in the smart environment, there will be vast movement of information a prompt passenger movement schedule that is timely and energy saving (Rowlands, 1996).

Useful Tools in Policy Making
Policy-making involves effective decision-making. Various techniques and tools are applied in organizing thoughts towards making and implementing working policies. In policy-making, long-term decisions have to be made in order to avoid fallacies that can fail big projects. For instance, the transport industry serves a lot of people every day. The industry needs policies that can help in improving their services. Train and bus services need to be time conscience by working with policies that favor the movement schedules of most of their clients. People living within SmartCity environments depend highly on technology to access information and communicate. This means planners and policy makers have to create an effective transport network to make life manageable for city inhabitants.

1) Values in Computational Models Revalued
Computational models are mathematical representations that are designed to study the behaviour of complex systems. Systems under study are usually nonlinear and complex to the extent that conventional analytics cannot be used. Scholars have tried to establish the role played by trust and values in the use of such models in the analysis of public administration.
Public decision-making is itself a complex endeavour that involves the input of multiple stakeholders. Usually, there are a lot of conflicting interests that influence the final outcome of such decision-making processes (Klabunde & Willekens, 2016). In a computational model, a number of factors equally influence the outcome of the process. One of them is the number of actors involved –the presence of more actors normally implies increased mistrust. Another factor is the amount of trust that already exists among the decision makers. In cases where the group is homogenous, there is likely to be more trust and thus, less concern about the number of actors involved.
Given the importance of these two factors, the designer of any such model bears the largest burden in assuring the value of the model. He or she can choose to implement agency by humans or by technology depending on the number of actors and trust among them. Also, model designer determines the margins of error from each scenario while modelling (Gershman, Markman & Otto, 2014). Since in conventional decision-making processes different actors have different roles, the model designer may decide to accord different levels of authority to different actors. Nevertheless, they must ensure that such a decision does not affect the trust of the system. Overall, what values are sought from a computational model in a public decision-making context?

2) Active and Passive Crowdsourcing in Government
The authors of the article “Active and Passive Crowdsourcing in Government” discuss the application of the idea of crowdsourcing by public agencies. It leverages Web-based platforms to gather information from a large number of individuals for solving intricate problems (Loukis and Charalabidis 284). The scholars revealed that the concept of crowdsourcing was first adopted by organizations in the private sector, especially creative and design firms. Later on, state agencies began to determine how to leverage crowdsourcing to obtain “collective wisdom” from citizens aimed at informing the formulation and implementation of public policies.
Active and passive approaches to crowdsourcing are similar as they are both.

Literature review on how Information Technology has impacted governing bodies’ ability to align public policy with stakeholder needs
Nowadays, the governing bodies both in public and private sectors are dealing with complex systems on a day to day operations. These systems are made up of different components which present varying interactions and interrelationships with and/or among each other; therefore, making their management to be difficult or challenging. Indeed, Ruiz, Zabaleta & Elorza (2016), highlighted that public policymakers have to deal with complex systems which involve heterogeneous agents that act in non-linear behaviors making their management difficult. Neziraj & Shaqiri (2018) also stated that the policymakers are faced with problems which are complex and non-uniform due to a lot of uncertainties and risk situ.
SOCIAL MEDIA ANALYTICS FOR SENTIMENT ANALYSIS AND EVENT DETECTION IN SMART CI...cscpconf
Smart cities utilize Internet of Things (IoT) devices and sensors to enhance the quality of the city
services including energy, transportation, health, and much more. They generate massive
volumes of structured and unstructured data on a daily basis. Also, social networks, such as
Twitter, Facebook, and Google+, are becoming a new source of real-time information in smart
cities. Social network users are acting as social sensors. These datasets so large and complex
are difficult to manage with conventional data management tools and methods. To become
valuable, this massive amount of data, known as 'big data,' needs to be processed and
comprehended to hold the promise of supporting a broad range of urban and smart cities
functions, including among others transportation, water, and energy consumption, pollution
surveillance, and smart city governance. In this work, we investigate how social media analytics
help to analyze smart city data collected from various social media sources, such as Twitter and
Facebook, to detect various events taking place in a smart city and identify the importance of
events and concerns of citizens regarding some events. A case scenario analyses the opinions of
users concerning the traffic in three largest cities in the UAE
BIG DATA IN SMART CITIES: A SYSTEMATIC MAPPING REVIEWsarfraznawaz
Big data is an emerging area of research and its prospective applications in smart cities are extensively recognized. In this study, we provide a breadth-first review of the domain “Big Data in Smart Cities” by applying the formal research method of systematic mapping. We investigated the primary sources of publication, research growth, maturity level of the research area, prominent research themes, type of analytics applied, and the areas of smart cities where big data research is produced. Consequently, we identified that empirical research in the domain has been progressing since 2013. The IEEE Access journal and IEEE Smart Cities Conference are the leading sources of literature containing 10.34% and 13.88% of the publications, respectively. The current state of the research is semi-matured where research type of 46.15% of the publications is solution and experience, and contribution type of 60% of the publications is architecture, platform, and framework. Prescriptive is least whereas predictive is the most applied type of analytics in smart cities as it has been stated in 43.08% of the publications. Overall, 33.85%, 21.54%, 13.85%, 12.31%, 7.69%, 6.15%, and 4.61% of the research produced in the domain focused on smart transportation, smart environment, smart governance, smart healthcare, smart energy, smart education, and smart safety, respectively. Besides the requirement for producing validation and evaluation research in the areas of smart transportation and smart environment, there is a need for more research efforts in the areas of smart healthcare, smart governance, smart safety, smart education, and smart energy. Furthermore, the potential of prescriptive analytics in smart cities is also an area of research that needs to be explored.

Visualization of cartographic systems in mobile devices is a challenge due to the its own
limitations to show all the relevant information that the user needs on the screen. Within this paper we review
current state-of- the-art technological solutions to face this problem and we classify them in a novel typology. In
addition, it is shown an example case of a developed system for a logistic company specialized in dangerous
goods. The system is able to calculate optimal routes and communicate the drivers the best path in order to
achieve a great management of the company resources

Literature review on how Information Technology has impacted governing bodies’ ability to align public policy with stakeholder needs
Nowadays, the governing bodies both in public and private sectors are dealing with complex systems on a day to day operations. These systems are made up of different components which present varying interactions and interrelationships with and/or among each other; therefore, making their management to be difficult or challenging. Indeed, Ruiz, Zabaleta & Elorza (2016), highlighted that public policymakers have to deal with complex systems which involve heterogeneous agents that act in non-linear behaviors making their management difficult. Neziraj & Shaqiri (2018) also stated that the policymakers are faced with problems which are complex and non-uniform due to a lot of uncertainties and risk situ.
SOCIAL MEDIA ANALYTICS FOR SENTIMENT ANALYSIS AND EVENT DETECTION IN SMART CI...cscpconf
Smart cities utilize Internet of Things (IoT) devices and sensors to enhance the quality of the city
services including energy, transportation, health, and much more. They generate massive
volumes of structured and unstructured data on a daily basis. Also, social networks, such as
Twitter, Facebook, and Google+, are becoming a new source of real-time information in smart
cities. Social network users are acting as social sensors. These datasets so large and complex
are difficult to manage with conventional data management tools and methods. To become
valuable, this massive amount of data, known as 'big data,' needs to be processed and
comprehended to hold the promise of supporting a broad range of urban and smart cities
functions, including among others transportation, water, and energy consumption, pollution
surveillance, and smart city governance. In this work, we investigate how social media analytics
help to analyze smart city data collected from various social media sources, such as Twitter and
Facebook, to detect various events taking place in a smart city and identify the importance of
events and concerns of citizens regarding some events. A case scenario analyses the opinions of
users concerning the traffic in three largest cities in the UAE
BIG DATA IN SMART CITIES: A SYSTEMATIC MAPPING REVIEWsarfraznawaz
Big data is an emerging area of research and its prospective applications in smart cities are extensively recognized. In this study, we provide a breadth-first review of the domain “Big Data in Smart Cities” by applying the formal research method of systematic mapping. We investigated the primary sources of publication, research growth, maturity level of the research area, prominent research themes, type of analytics applied, and the areas of smart cities where big data research is produced. Consequently, we identified that empirical research in the domain has been progressing since 2013. The IEEE Access journal and IEEE Smart Cities Conference are the leading sources of literature containing 10.34% and 13.88% of the publications, respectively. The current state of the research is semi-matured where research type of 46.15% of the publications is solution and experience, and contribution type of 60% of the publications is architecture, platform, and framework. Prescriptive is least whereas predictive is the most applied type of analytics in smart cities as it has been stated in 43.08% of the publications. Overall, 33.85%, 21.54%, 13.85%, 12.31%, 7.69%, 6.15%, and 4.61% of the research produced in the domain focused on smart transportation, smart environment, smart governance, smart healthcare, smart energy, smart education, and smart safety, respectively. Besides the requirement for producing validation and evaluation research in the areas of smart transportation and smart environment, there is a need for more research efforts in the areas of smart healthcare, smart governance, smart safety, smart education, and smart energy. Furthermore, the potential of prescriptive analytics in smart cities is also an area of research that needs to be explored.

The general objective of the study is to introduce a new android application for visitors at the end of next month to help lower their travelling costs by 50% and reduce the time for finding places and services to one minute. The project also aims to help visitors find category of services in a region by one click with details such as directions, ratings, costs and security. Through this study, the major deliverables are to gain understanding of the Town-guide system’s requirements and design through analysis of the market and the existing application in the same market.
Executive Summary
The Town-Guide Android app is intended to help users who are majorly visitors in a city to find locations, services and other products. The major objective of the project is to help people adopt to new places. Though there are various applications in the market with a near same purpose, the design and inclusion of features will allow the Town-Guide app have the desired breakthrough in the market. O understand the design and user requirements, it is essential to gather data on the available similar applications, their features and aspects that their users find challenging.
The study team will conduct a system analysis process where the mobile app developers will identify similar applications in the market. Specifically, the team will identify the application that help international visitors find their directions in the local places (Koutroumanis, 2011). The business analysist will identify all the business requirements of these systems and the way the requirements are implemented.
The analysis of the existing system will take one week where the analyst and the application developers will document the existing systems, issues in the current market and possible solutions or system alternatives that will solve the issues. This major method of analysis of the current system will be through peer reviews on the play store. The researchers will develop a list of questions that will help them go through the application reviews of existing customers. These questions and guidelines include the rating of the current applications, security challenges, application features, and application limitations, design of the application and ease-of-use of the application.
The recommendation of the system analysis is that the system is to integrate several functionalities from other system to enhance efficiency and solve the identified pro ...

1. A vulnerability refers to a
known
weakness of an asset (resource) that can be exploited by one or more attackers. In other words, it is a known issue that allows an attack to succeed.
For example, when a team member resigns and you forget to disable their access to external accounts, change logins, or remove their names from company credit cards, this leaves your business open to both intentional and unintentional threats. However, most vulnerabilities are exploited by automated attackers and not a human typing on the other side of the network.
Testing for vulnerabilities is critical to ensuring the continued security of your systems. Identify the weak points. Discuss at least four questions to ask when determining your security vulnerabilities.

The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Managing complex systems and the advantages of visual
decision support.
Agent-based modeling is commonly used in finding out the
various sorts of complex systems in different areas such as
science, sociology, and the environment. The role of
visualization of the execution, which is the complicated
frameworks, is that it helps with its ability to capture its
elements. In this case, the policy that is trying to create is the
use of renewable energy through vehicles within the city's smart
city. It is well known that petroleum products cause a lot of
pollution, and this will result in changing the city nit to be a
smart city again. Therefore, I would recommend the usage of
the renewable source of energy to propel the vehicles that will
emit the gas, which won’t be having a significant impact on the
people (Janssen, et al., 2015).
The main aim of the policy will be minimizing the cases of air
pollution, and through this, there will be climatic change.
Categorically, for practical application of agent-based modeling
through the experimental approach, it requires various
components. These components are, i) a well dynamic, crucial
and understandable visualization of its advancement under
different planning’s, ii) the ability to re-define this
visualization, in a perfect world in an intuitive manner, at
different spatial and temporal scales or using multiple
viewpoints, iii) the ability to discard abstract properties and
information from the components provided by the recreation and
to picture them into continuously iv) the capacity to interface
with such visualizations in a characteristics route so as to
2. change the model itself in an interactive design
approach (Janssen, et al., 2015).
About the various approaches to visualizing and find out data
elements like value, shading, direction, shape, and size. Some
of the ways of carrying out the named function of visualizing
and finding out of the data components are shading, book, 2D,
or 3D geometry. As indicated in figure 15.9, a means that
provided contextual investigations a short task portray; the
applied showing systems, the essential data types, the executed
perception methods, and the involved partner. Clearly, the table
shows the chosen case study varies in line with the stated
attributes. I this such case, it is essential to deduce that when
making policy, various procedures should be utilized
effectively. Data should be set to help in carrying the role of the
policymaking, and as earlier indicated, specific planning should
be set to assist the clients in the ideal way. There is an element
of heterogeneity of contextual analyses in the area of the policy
examination, as this helps in enhancing reality (Janssen, et
al., 2015). There is a need for the inclusion of the configuration
in the field of information representation and visual inspection
as of now deal with this particular issue.

Smartcity Evacuation using ABM-Based Gaming Simulation
The SmartCity evacuation policy involves devising policies that
are relevant in getting the involved stakeholders, towards a
prepared and disaster-ready city that can coordinate resources
and people during disaster more efficiently and seamlessly to
facilitate lower fatalities (Grignard & Drogoul, 2017). A
SmartCity Evacuation ABM-Based Gaming simulation for
policy making will integrate views and expertise from relevant
stakeholders including the public, who have largely grown to
question more about administrative functions offered to them.
The main stakeholders in the ABM-Based Evacuation policy
will include four main categories. The policy analysts are the
top tier lot who oversee the processing of the software data,
while domain experts include architects, disaster management
professionals and environmentalists. The lower tier stakeholders
will include policy makers who consist of the parliamentary
system while the citizens’ public participation of the process
falls last.
The simulation model constitutes of geospatial information,
building architectural designs and human population patterns
which are characteristic of a certain geographical area. The
model visualizes a series of information including population
patterns and geospatial distribution. Users can set up the
gaming simulation through specifying the stated parameters
including the type of disaster before running. The agents using
the model have a real time interaction with the simulated
environment and can see the effects on the environment and
geographical areas selected. The Dot map and heat map
visualization techniques will be used to view the effects of
evacuation policies that will be implemented by the relevant
stakeholders during such disasters in the SmartCity. Users can
hence analyze how human population would react to policies
meant to address evacuation issues during disasters in the
SmartCity (Janssen, Wimmer & Deljoo, 2015).
