MobiWeb - SMS for Courier & Postal ServicesMobiWeb
Today’s life is mobile. Literally, people spend a considerable amount of their daytime on the way and use their mobile phones more than ever.
In 2014 there were more than 6 billion subscriptions. By early 2015, there will be more mobile phone subscribers than the world's population. With increasing penetration of mobile phones to the most rural areas, mobile networks cover more than 90% of the world’s population. Consumers are always on the move and expect to use services and products on the go. This combined with the fact that mobile phone is the most personal digital device there is, make mobile a great B2C communication channel.
With the internet and mobile revolution, expectations are shifting towards the mobile phone. Many globally established businesses now choose SMS as an important channel when planning their mobile strategy. The mobile phone has become the new “must have” for any serious “innovative” service.
Some of the key business performance factors for the Courier & Postal Services industry is customer service and customer experience. Over the years technological innovations have helped Courier & Postal Services to reduce costs, deliver new services and enhance customer experiences.
As the mobile revolution continues to evolve, mobile technologies are available for the Courier & Postal Services to adopt and deploy. The Short Message Service (SMS) is a well-established, mature technology that Courier & Postal industry can benefit greatly from. SMS can be deployed in a huge variety of tailored use cases. It is available on all mobile phones across all technologies, including GSM, CDMA and 3G.
This guide describes SMS services and the mobile channel for Couriers and Postal Services.
Since its establishment in 1999, MobiWeb is providing global SMS Messaging for B2B, B2C and C2C mobile interaction.

EOSC-hub brings together multiple service providers to create the Hub: a single contact point for European researchers and innovators to discover, access, use and reuse a broad spectrum of resources for advanced data-driven research.
This presentation introduces the services on offer to scientists of all disciplines
Part 1 of the printed publication "3D-ICONS Guidelines and Case Studies" First published in November 2014.
Public fascination with the architectural and archaeological heritage is well known, it is proven to be one of the main reasons for tourism according to the UN World Tourism Organisation. Historic buildings and archaeological monuments form a significant component Europe’s cultural heritage; they are the physical testimonies of European history and of the di°erent events that led to the creation of the European landscape, as we know it today.
The documentation of built heritage increasingly avails of 3D scanning and other remote sensing technologies, which produces digital replicas in an accurate and fast way. Such digital models have a large range of uses, from the conservation and preservation of monuments to the communication of their cultural value to the public. They may also support in-depth analysis of their architectural and artistic features as well as allow the production of interpretive reconstructions of their past appearance.
The goal of the 3D-ICONS project, funded under the European Commission’s ICT Policy Support Programme which builds on the results of CARARE (www.carare.eu) and 3D-COFORM (www.3d-coform.eu), is to provide Europeana with 3D models of architectural and archaeological monuments of remarkable cultural importance. The project brings together 16 partners (see appendix 2) from across Europe (11 countries) with relevant expertise in 3D modelling and digitization. The main purpose of this project is to produce around 4000 accurate 3D models which have to be processed into a simplified form in order to be visualized on low end personal computers and on the web.
GeoSolutions has been involved into a number of projects, ranging from local administrations to global institutions, involving GeoNode deployments, customizations and enhancements. A gallery of projects and use cases will showcase the versatility and effectiveness of GeoNode, both as a standalone application and as a service component, for building secured geodata catalogs and web mapping services. Lastly, ongoing and future developments will be presented ranging from the upcoming integration with MapStore to the monitoring and analytics dashboard or the support for time series data.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Common principles
• Efficiency: Data should be collected only once and kept where it can be
maintained most effectively.
• Ability of combination and sharing: It should be possible to combine
seamless spatial information from different sources across Europe and share
it with many users and applications.
• Scale independency: It should be possible for information collected at one
level/scale to be shared with all levels/scales; detailed for thorough
investigations, general for strategic purposes.
• Transparency: Geographic information needed for good governance at all
levels should be readily and transparently available.
• Accessibility: Easy to find what geographic information is available, how it
can be used to meet a particular need, and under which conditions it can be
acquired and used.

5. Monitoring & Reporting
• For member states: obligation to report on the setup and operation of their
respective geodata infrastructure as well as on the state of implementation of the
INSPIRE directive.
– For this purpose key figures on the infrastructure elements and content, such
as geodatasets, network services and permanent descriptive metadata are
every year collected, evaluated and published (Monitoring).
• Reporting: every three years

Conclusions (part II)
• Much work has been done in the last 8 years.
• Basically many services and geodata themes can be discovered.
• Implementation and usability however, at least in some cases, is quite poor.
• Apparently the technical/personal infrastructure for fully functional SDIs is not
available everywhere.
• Widespread usage requires:
– [EU and] Member States should ensure that appropriate structures and
mechanisms are designated.
– The existence of these geodata and services must be communicated and
advertised more intensively to companies and private citizens. [Spatineo 2015]

Environmental phenomena (and disasters) do not stop at national borders!
20% of the EU citizens (115 million) live within 50 km from a border.
70% of all fresh water bodies in Europe are part of a trans-boundary river basin.

The shading of each country indicates the percentage of high-availability services while the bars on the bottom show the number of both total services and high-availability services over time. Users can choose to inspect either the current month or any previous month.
The high level SDI status data shown on the map immediately reveals that there is healthy growth in this sector. The quantity of spatial web services has continued to grow steadily over the past two years and the number of compliant services available is very promising.

The coordinating structures in the Member States can also be considered in relation to the organisations taking the lead.
In many countries, the lead has been assigned to the National Mapping and Cadastral Agencies (NMCAs), while in others it is the ministry for the environment, or equivalent, that is taking the lead.
In a few cases, other ministries (e.g. informatics or communications) take the leading role.
