The document describes a new system called MODS for smart monitoring of hydrogeological risks in the Puglia region of Italy. The goals of MODS are to 1) use data from remote sensor networks and weather stations, 2) incorporate human data from mobile apps, and 3) provide real-time monitoring and post-event data analysis tools to improve environmental awareness. The MODS system will integrate data from various sources using open standards and provide interactive webGIS and data analysis applications. Field tests and control room demonstrations involving local volunteers and specialists are planned for two areas of Puglia to validate the system.

One of the most impressive mountain areas in the Alps are the Dolomites. Tourists visit the Dolomites for outdoor activities such as hiking, skiing, climbing, cycling and many others. However, unexpected events, such as weather conditions, poor experience in mountains, underestimation of the terrain conditions, bad planning, weak technical skills, among others, can increase the risk of accidents. The activities that represent better these events are ski touring, rock/ice climbing, mountaineering and hiking. In this work, we propose a localization system based on LoRa (pycom) and Bluetooth (beacon) devices to find lost people inside of the natural park Bletterbach GEOPARC. The system consists on a wearable sensor device worn in a helmet that transmits actual position to fixed stations. In case of emergency, the stations provide the last checking point to a centralized system, and authorities can start a procedure to find the victim with the aid of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The UAV transmits the exact coordinate to mountain rescue teams, and terrain conditions (imagery) to effectively plan the rescue mission. This work aims to accelerate the process of search and rescue operations that could be extended to different scenarios.MediaEval 2017 - Satellite Task: Data-Driven Flood Detection using Neural Net...

Abstract: This paper describes the approaches used by our team (MultiBrasil) for the Multimedia Satellite Task at MediaEval 2017. For both disaster image retrieval and flood-detection in satellite images, we employ neural networks for end-to-end learning. Specifically, for the first subtask, we exploit Convolutional Networks and Relation Networks while, for the latter, dilated Convolutional Networks were employed.

The document discusses using satellite data from MODIS sensors to develop indicators for monitoring zoonotic diseases. Some key points:
1) Land surface temperature (LST) and vegetation index data from MODIS sensors can be used to develop indicators like frost periods and growing degree days linked to disease transmission.
2) LST data correlates well with meteorological station data and can be used to reconstruct continuous temperature time series.
3) Derived indicators like LST, snow cover maps, and enhanced vegetation index can be input into machine learning models to create risk models for tick-borne diseases like TBE.
Self-organzing maps in Earth Observation Data Cube Analysis

analysis-ready data generated from remote sensing images as multidimensional cubes (space, time and properties), especially for satellite image time series analysis. These infrastructures take advantage of big data technologies and methods to store, process and analyze the big amount of Earth observation satellite images freely available nowadays. Recently, EO Data Cubes infrastructures and satellite image time series analysis
have brought new opportunities and challenges for the Land Use and Cover Change (LUCC) monitoring over large areas. LUCC have caused a great impact on tropical ecosystems, increasing global greenhouse gases emissions and reducing the planet’s biodiversity. This paper presents the
utility of Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) neural network method in the
process to extract LUCC information from EO Data Cubes infrastructures, using image time series analysis. Most classification techniques to create LUCC maps from satellite image time series are based on supervised learning methods. In this context, SOM is used as a method to assess land use and cover samples and to evaluate which spectral bands and vegetation indexes are best suitable for the separability of land use and cover classes.

This document summarizes a study that developed an algorithm to automate multiple endmember selection from Hyperion hyperspectral imagery and applied it to map land cover in central Cairo, Egypt. The algorithm extends the multiple endmember spectral mixture analysis (MESMA) method to handle high-dimensional Hyperion pixels. It allows both spectral bands and endmembers to vary per pixel to select optimal bands that maximize endmember separability and minimize spectral confusion, improving abundance accuracy. The authors tested the algorithm on a Hyperion image of Cairo, finding that its rich spectral information can help address limitations in automated urban land cover mapping compared to multispectral data.

ABSTRACT:
During recent years, the fast development of Information Technologies (IT) and digital media has introduced new opportunities for a sustainable and inclusive growth of cities, by produc-ing on the one hand lots of data about urban life, and on the other hand, digital media plat-forms.
The concept of planning itself is undergoing a cultural transformation, from designing the physical urban environment as an efficient, static backdrop for inhabitation, towards the con-cept of “citymaking”, where the spatial decision making process is dealing with cultural as-pects, liveability, community building, social cohesion and design.
Over the last few years a new methodology called ‘Living Lab’ has emerged to involve citizens in the design process. Initially is has mainly been used in the business sector to test commer-cial products, or to involve consumers as co-creators. Recently it has also progressively gained credibility in urban processes, as it facilitates the engagement of stakeholders and their under-standing of the planning problem, as well as the sharing of criteria for vision setting, thus ena-bling a transparent urban planning decision process.
During the STSM, which took place in April 2014, the authors have tried to outline how living labs are used in real cases of collaborative planning in the City of Amsterdam, and what is the role of new technologies in these living labs.
Nine experiments of Living labs -with or without such a label- on urban processes of planning and requalification were explored, with the aim of tracing out the achievements and weak-nesses of the practices undertaken so far. Through data collection, field surveys and inter-views, the authors asked whether technology is really helping non-expert citizens in being part of complex urban process, allowing real co-creation to happen; and, more generally, analyzed how the role of institutions, designers and citizens is changing in this dynamic scenario.
Amsterdam can be recognized as one of the most active cities in the European scenario in promoting innovative initiatives, by the use of open data and the development of smart pro-jects emerging from groups of citizen led proposals; participatory planning experiences are grounded on a solid tradition, and experimentation with numerous opportunities offered by new technologies. The city has recognized this potential and is investing on such projects, mainly by providing the conditions for a smart environment where open applications and initi-atives can be developed. There are several platforms that are already in place: these exhibit not only a high stage of development within the city itself, but also the role of cata
Presentazione conclusiva - Easy perception Lab
This project aims to develop an application that integrates virtual reality, augmented reality and cognitive neuroscience technologies to enhance teaching and learning experiences at the MAUS Museum through advanced 3D visualization and interaction. The application will allow users to interact with 3D models of organisms like Tarbosaurus and plankton. Experimental sessions with volunteers evaluated the perceptual characteristics of museum objects and sounds. Results found greater arousal and activation of frontal and occipital brain regions when in an immersive environment compared to a control group, and greater activation with 3D images versus 2D images. The project involves international collaboration with paleontology and marine biology experts.

The document discusses using cities as living labs for experimentation through urban labs. It provides examples of pilot projects tested in Barcelona's 22@Urban Lab, including LED street lighting, electric vehicle charging stations, and traffic sensors. Urban labs allow testing innovations in real-life environments with citizens to improve products and bridge relationships between companies and cities. Apps are discussed as a way to connect citizens and reinvent citizenship through sharing and finding resources. A platform approach is suggested to leverage resources through co-development rather than a zero-sum, in-house approach.

The use of big data solutions is the biggest opportunity for friendly cities in our years. This happened because we need to access, process and use different data type very fast and big data solutions offers these facilities.
The concept of big data which creating value is not new, and in our age the effective use of da-ta is to becoming the basis element of competition. Cities of our time have always wanted to use correctly and to the real value the information and knowledge in order to make better, smarter, real time, fact-based decisions, this necessity of correct knowledge has fueled the growth of using big data. In this case the big data concept is the most important support for cities’ evolutions. In the world, many cities who are agree that this is true aren't sure how to make the most of it implementation. After a literature review analysis, this paper presents the steps for implement the solutions of big data in the core area of cities.
More and more companies from business and administration are agree that big data is an op-portunity for friendly cities. This paper highlights with examples from all over the world that those areas which use big data have good results. The areas that succeed aren't the ones who have the most data, but the ones who use it best. Big data will fundamentally change the way cities compete and operate. Companies from business and administration that invest in and successfully derive value from their data will have a distinct advantage over their competitors — a performance gap that will continue to grow as more relevant data is generated, emerging technologies and digital channels offer better acquisition and delivery mechanisms, and the technologies that enable faster, easier data analysis continue to develop.
Investment and development are the keys of our cities. This paper presents the impact of the big data solutions and how can use all the facility of this in friendly cities development. Having in view the researches in this area the cities development using big data in accordance with sustainability principles has become an opportunity of this century. An efficient access and use of huge quantity of data through big data solutions and the involvement of citizens in the initi-atives of local communities are the key elements that a city can use to achieve a harmonious development.
The major research of this approach is centered on the necessity of use big data for friendly cities.

Module 10 - Section 6 ICTs for climate change adaptation 20110904
Slide presentations developed to demonstrate how Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) be used to address climate change, and why ICTs are a crucial part of the solution – i.e. in promoting efficiency, Green Growth & sustainable development, in dealing with climate change and for climate and environmental action. These slide presentations were delivered in February 2011 in Seongnam, near Seoul in Korea.
These presentations were developed and delivered over 2.5 days on the occasion of a Regional Training of Trainers Workshop for upcoming Academy modules on ICT for Disaster Risk Management and Climate Change Abatement. These modules were developed as part of the Academy of ICT Essentials for Government leaders developed by the United Nations (UN) Asia Pacific Centre for ICT Training (APCICT), based in Songdo City, in the Republic of South Korea.
These presentations were developed in 2011, and are somewhat out of date, but most of the principles still apply. Module 10, which has been published, does not include much of the information outlined in these presentations, which are fairly technical. They were developed to address a significant gap in understanding of the technical basis of using ICTs for climate action and because there is a clear bias in development circles against the importance of dealing with climate change mitigation in developing countries. These presentations are an attempt to redress this lack and are published here with this purpose in mind.
The author, Richard Labelle, is presently working on updating these presentations to further highlight the importance of addressing climate change and the important role that technology including ICTs, play in this effort.

Predictive Modeling of Human Behavior: Supervised Learning from Telecom Metad...
Big data, specifically Telecom Metadata, opens new opportunities for human behavior understanding, applying machine learning and big data processing computational methods combined with interdisciplinary knowledge of human behavior. In this thesis new methods are developed for human behavior predictive modeling based on anonymized telecom metadata on individual level and on large scale group level, which were studied during research projects held in 2012-2016 in collaboration with Telecom Italia, Telefonica Research, MIT Media Lab and University of Trento. It is shown that human dynamics patterns could be reliably recognized based on human behavior metrics derived from the mobile phone and cellular network activity (call log, sms log, bluetooth interactions, internet consumption).
On individual level the results are validated on use cases of detecting daily stress and estimating subjective happiness. An original approach is introduced for feature extraction, selection, recognition model training and validation. Experimental results based on ensemble stochastic classification and regression tree models are discussed. On large group level, following big data for social good challenges, the problem of crime hotspot prediction is formulated and solved. In the proposed approach we use demographic information along with human mobility characteristics as derived from anonymized and aggregated mobile network data. The models, built on and evaluated against real crime data from London, obtain accuracy of almost 70% when classifying whether a specific area in the city will be a crime hotspot or not in the following month. Electric energy consumption patterns are correlated with human behavior patterns in highly nonlinear way. Second large scale group behavior prediction result is formulated as predicting next week energy consumption based on human dynamics analysis derived out of the anonymized and aggregated telecom data, processed from GSM network call detail records (CDRs). The proposed solution could act on energy producers/distributors as an essential aid to smart meters data for making better decisions in reducing total primary energy consumption by limiting energy production when the demand is not predicted, reducing energy distribution costs by efficient buy-side planning in time and providing insights for peak load planning in geographic space. All the studied experimental results combine the introduced methodology, which is efficient to implement for most of multimedia and real-time applications due to highly reduced low-dimensional feature space and reduced machine learning pipelines. Also the indicators which have strong predictive power are discussed opening new horizons for computational social science studies.

Computer model for tsunami vulnerability using sentinel 2A and SRTM images op...
This study aims to develop a software framework for modeling of tsunami vulnerability using DEM and Sentinel 2 images. The stages of study, are: 1) extraction Sentinel 2 images using algorithms NDVI, NDBI, NDWI, MSAVI, and MNDWI; 2) prediction vegetation indices using machine learning algorithms. 3) accuracy testing using the MSE, ME, RMSE, MAE, MPE, and MAPE; 4) spatial prediction using Kriging function and 5) modeling tsunami vulnerability indicators. The results show that in 2021 the area was dominated by vegetation density between (-0.1-0.3) with moderate to high vulnerability and risk of land use tsunami as a result of the decreasing of vegetation. The prediction results for 2021 show a low canopy density of vegetation and a high degree of land surface slope. Based on the prediction results in 2021, the study area mostly shows the existence of built-up lands with a high tsunami vulnerability risk (more than 0.1). Vegetation population had decreased to 67% from the original areas in 2017 with an area of 135 km2. Forest vegetation had decreased by 45% from 116 km2 in 2017. Land use for fisheries had increased to the area of 86 km2 from 2017 with an area of 24 km2.

This document discusses developing microscopic land use regression (μLUR) models to estimate personal exposure from participatory sensing data. It proposes a workflow called MEX (Model the EXposure) that:
1) Uses participatory sensing data with high spatiotemporal resolution to build μLUR models for specific activities like driving.
2) Applies the μLUR models to estimate personal exposure for real populations which can then be used to assess health impacts and support policy decisions.
3) Suggests developing applications that quantify exposure reductions from behavioral changes and promote awareness to initiate local policy support.

INTEGRATION OF REMOTE SENSING DATA WITH GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS): ...
Remote Sensing and Geographic information System together comprise of Geographic Information Science (GIScience) which is a core research field that tries to emphasis on advanced geographic concepts in Geographic Information System and examines the impact of GIS on individuals and society as a whole and re-examines the themes with incorporation of most recent cognitive and Information Science. The Geographic Information System can be defined as a Computer based system and a tool, both hardware,
software and procedures, which manages geospatial data, solves spatial problems, and supports collection,
storage, transformation, analyzing, retrieving and display of data in a well desired manner. The integration
of GIS and Remote Sensing is a field of research and several implementations have been developed to gain
the maximum throughput out of these collective fields as these techniques have their own data analysis and
data representation methods. The application domain of remote sensing is from a base layer for GIS to the
development of thematic datasets, obtaining and extracting data from imagery and generation of unique
spatial datasets. In my paper I have focused on the integration of both the fields along with its usage in
Analysis and Modelling and also some models of error sources due to the integration of interface of the two
techniques. The paper also describes some error sources while integration as GIS and remote sensing both
are subject to errors and uncertainty. The paper has discussed some Change Detection Techniques used in
the modern sciences with their comparison.

This document discusses how information and communication technologies (ICTs) can be used for environmental observation and addressing climate change. Satellite-based remote sensing platforms provide global earth observation data on a long-term and repetitive basis. This data is captured, analyzed, stored and shared using ICTs through systems like the Global Earth Observation System of Systems and cloud-based data portals. The combination of earth observation data and geographic information systems allows users to visualize and understand environmental changes and mitigate climate change impacts.
IJRET-V1I1P1 - Forest Fire Detection Based on Wireless Image Processing
This document proposes an intelligent forest fire detection system using image processing and artificial intelligence techniques. It discusses how traditional fire detection methods are inadequate and outlines the proposed system. The system would use temperature sensors, a GPS module, and small satellites to continuously monitor forests for fires, detect fires rapidly, and transmit location alerts to aid fire station response before fires spread severely. If a temperature threshold is exceeded, the system would transmit an alert along with the fire's GPS location to orbiting small satellites and ultimately to fire stations. The goal is early and accurate fire detection and localization to minimize ecological and economic damage from forest fires.
NoiseTube project
The NoiseTube project aims to address issues with limited environmental data by enabling citizen participation in data collection using mobile phones. Citizens can use phone microphones to measure and tag noise pollution levels, contributing to a collaborative noise exposure map. A real-world experiment found phone noise measurements to be accurate to within 2-6.5 dB compared to professional sound level meters. The project empowers citizens by giving them a way to monitor and share local environmental information in real-time through social networks and visualizations.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

AI & Electronic WarfareApps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.Astute Business Solutions | Oracle Cloud Partner |
