The VISTA project aimed to integrate utility data from various UK organizations to improve coordination and reduce costs of street works. It developed methods for syntactically and semantically integrating heterogeneous utility data through a common data model and global thesaurus. Visualization techniques were also explored that incorporated uncertainty and were driven by an ontology. While the project proved the concept, further work is needed to develop the ontology and address implementation challenges regarding data currency, security, and impact on organizational systems.
The document discusses urban data fusion, which involves integrating geographical information models and building information models. Geographical information models represent natural and infrastructure data, while building information models contain 3D representations and attributes of buildings. There are various data formats and standards for each model type, as well as different approaches to integrating the two, including file conversion, database integration, and system integration that links different software applications. The study aims to understand methods for standardizing integration between 3D building models and geographical datasets.

A Study on Data Visualization Techniques of Spatio Temporal DataIJMTST Journal
Data visualization is an important tool to analyze complex Spatio Temporal data. The spatio-temporal data
can be visualized using 2D, 3D or any other type of maps. Cartography is the major technique used in
mapping. The data can also be visualized by placing different layers of maps one on other, which is done by
using GIS. Many data visualization techniques are in trend but the usage of the techniques must be decided
by considering the application requirements.

1) Social media allows businesses to directly interact with and control conversations with customers, who are increasingly engaging with companies on social platforms.
2) Consumers now expect companies to have social media presences and interact with them through these channels. Over 90% believe companies should have social media presences.
3) People tend to trust recommendations from other individuals over traditional authority figures, and social media allows people to directly share word-of-mouth recommendations at scale.
4) A case study example shows how a real estate developer used social media outreach to garner over 400 letters of support for a development
How have recent technological developments changed filmmaking?LeiAnne
Recent technological developments have significantly changed filmmaking by making the entire process more accessible, affordable, and distributed. Cheap digital cameras, mobile phones, YouTube, and HD cameras have allowed amateur filmmakers to independently create high quality films and distribute them to global audiences quickly and inexpensively. This has led to a democratization of filmmaking as more people are able to make and share their own films.

The document discusses local economic assessments in the UK. It notes that legislation for a new duty requiring local authorities to conduct economic assessments was passed and will take effect in April 2010. Funding was allocated to upper tier authorities and districts to help cover the costs. Draft guidance on conducting the assessments was published by the government to provide clarity and priorities. The guidance may be revised to provide further clarity around key themes, functional economic market areas, cross-boundary assessments, and the relationship between assessments and regional strategies.
China viewed itself as the center of civilization and was culturally chauvinistic, looking down on Europe. The Opium Wars resulted from China's attempts to stop the opium trade and Britain's victory allowed it to impose trade and territorial concessions on China. China struggled against European dominance through rebellions like the Taiping Rebellion and Boxer Rebellion and attempts to modernize, but was ultimately unable to prevent European powers from colonizing parts of China and gaining spheres of influence.
This document discusses developing a consistent approach to local economic assessments (LEAs) in the South West region of England. It proposes using a common set of core questions and data sources to structure the LEAs while allowing for local flexibility. Examples of potential core questions cover topics like key business sectors, skills gaps, housing needs, and addressing worklessness. Common data sources and indicators are suggested along with coordinated research efforts to help answer the core questions consistently across local areas.
Manual Segmentation and semantic-based hierarchical tagginf od 3d modelsUniversity PARIS-SUD
Today 3D objects have become widely available in different application domains, thus it is becoming fundamental to use, integrate and develop techniques for extracting and maintaining their implicit knowledge. These techniques should be encapsulated in intelligent systems able to semantically annotate the 3D models, thus improving their usability and indexing, especially in innovative web cooperative environments. In our work, we are moving in this direction, by defining and developing data structures, methods and interfaces for structuring and semantically annotating 3D complex models (and scenes), even changing over time, according to ontology-driven metadata. In this paper, we focus on tools and methods for manually segmenting manifold 3D models and on the underline structural representation that we build and manipulate. We present also an interface from which the user can inspect and browse the segmentation, describing also the first prototype of an annotation tool which allows a hierarchical semantic-driven tagging of the segmented model.
A Uniform Specification Of Mixed Reality Interface ComponentsNicole Heredia
This document presents a conceptual model and XML specification language (ICDL) for describing mixed reality user interface components in a standardized way. The goal is to facilitate reuse of interface components across different hardware contexts and applications. The conceptual model defines interface components as having properties such as required devices, parameters, states, and behavior. Both specific and generic interface component descriptions are supported. The ICDL XML schema allows formal descriptions of components that can be automatically processed to enable tool support and reuse.

The document proposes a framework called be-SMART for semantically annotating 3D models. It involves a two-level segmentation of models into meaningful parts. Automatic segmentation decomposes objects into regions, which are then clustered. Manual segmentation allows merging/cutting of regions. Segments are organized into a graph and annotated hierarchically according to an ontology to extract embedded knowledge from 3D objects. Future work involves improving geometric modeling and semantic reasoning capabilities.
This document proposes a data model for managing large point cloud data while integrating semantics.

A prototype is implemented using Python and PostgreSQL to combine semantic and spatial concepts for queries on indoor point cloud data captured with a terrestrial laser scanner.
The 27th Australasian Conference on Information SystemsMahdi_Fahmideh
Many organisations are currently moving their legacy systems to the cloud as it offers reduced cost, improved operational efficiency, on-demand, and pay-as-you-go service models. While any cloud migration scenario to make legacies cloud-enabled may have their own characteristics, there is no universally superior or applicable method for all scenarios. In situations like this, designing customization methods that fit characteristics of migration scenarios would be pivotal for successful adoption of cloud computing. The literature review reveals that issues surrounding method tailoring for the cloud migration have so far been missing and this is despite the call made by previous researches to adopt a tailoring perspective to the cloud enablement. To effectively address this shortcoming, this study applied the idea of situational method engineering to develop a framework which facilitates the design and maintenance of bespoke cloud migration methods. The paper demonstrates the applicability of the proposed framework via presenting two scenarios.
We propose a novel approach to consumer application development using executable Application Graph Model (AGM). Based on Object- Process Methodology (OPM), AGM has expressive nature to model a generic, data-centric application based on desired domain model. AGM is interpretative, not generative, and also reflective, which enables runtime modeling and production on the same execution environment. AGM contains every aspect of data-centric application: data persistence, business logic, user interface and actors in interaction with application, both human and non-human. Finally, an executing architecture is given supporting multi- platform execution across mobile and desktop devices.
A WebML-Based Approach For The Development Of Web GIS ApplicationsMary Montoya
This document proposes an extension of the Web Modeling Language (WebML) for modeling web-based geographic information systems (Web GIS) applications. The extension includes new conceptual models and notations for modeling geospatial data and interactions specific to Web GIS, such as map visualization, navigation, and spatial querying. The key aspects of the extension are a geospatial entity-relationship model for conceptual data modeling, and new units for the WebML hypertext model including a MultiMap unit for map display, geometry entry units for spatial selection, and units for pan, zoom, and creating overlays. An example application for monitoring farm houses is modeled using the extended WebML notation. The extended WebML approach aims to provide a visual
Development of Design Structure Matrix of Product Architecture Case Study: Mu...Irfan Hilmy
In developing any engineering product, it is crucial to develop product architecture of the system. An engineering team who responsible in developing different module should work together in order to obtain product architecture as a blueprint of the project. It is common to breakdown system or product into smaller elements as follows: subsystems, modules and component and define the interactions between components and subsystems. In order to achieve the performance of the system as a whole, these elements must be integrated to work together. One of the method to develop product architecture is Design Structure Matrix (DSM). The use of DSM for Development of Product architecture with case study a CNC router platform is presented. Using DSM, order of product development can be optimized and any form of wastes can be eliminated in the design stage.

3-Phase Recognition Approach to Pseudo 3D Building Generation from 2D Floor P...ijcga
This document presents a 3-phase approach to automatically generate a pseudo-3D building model from a 2D floor plan image. The 3 phases are:
1. Image processing phase which extracts architectural symbols like walls, windows and doors from the image using techniques like edge detection, line extraction and region growing.
2. Save module phase which stores the extracted symbol information like positions, dimensions in an XML file.
3. Interactive 3D module phase which generates a 3D model of the building from the XML file and allows navigation and viewing of the model.
The approach was implemented using libraries like OpenCV for image processing and Irrlicht engine for 3D generation. Testing on sample floor plans showed

SEMANCO - Integrating multiple data sources, domains and tools in urban ener...Álvaro Sicilia
Semantic-based interoperability based on ontologies provide an alternative to centralized stand-ard data models. They help to integrate heterogeneous data produced by loose coupled information systems and to interlink these data with different tools in ad hoc situations. In the SEMANCO project (www.semanco-project.eu) we have used semantic technologies to create energy models of urban areas encompassing a variety of data sources and do-mains (building, geospatial, energy, climate, socioeconomic). The semantically modelled data has been made accessible to a set of simulation and analysis tools. The interoperability among the data sources and between these and the tools that interact with them is assured by a Semantic Energy Information Framework (SEIF) developed in the project. The access to the data and tools takes place in the SEMANCO integrated platform. In this paper we describe the work carried out to integrate an existing simulation software –URSOS– with the semantic data model. The functionalities of the tool and the integrated platform have been demonstrated in an application case carried out in the city of Manresa, in Spain

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
