The objective of this paper is to monitor air pollution on roads and track a vehicle which causes pollution. In order to solve this problem, many countries and regions have already presented a series of emissions standards, meanwhile some methods has been developed, including update motor engine or improving the quality of the gasoline. However, these actions have not brought about striking effect as we expect. In this system, Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology as a low-cost and mature wireless communication method is adopted to collect and transmit emissions information of vehicles and Internet of Things (IoT) concept is proposed. Moreover, The RFID devices need to be installed on the traffic lights so that reliable reading of emissions signals from a vehicle can be interrogated when the vehicles stop in front of the red light .By applying the system, it is possible to smoothly realize a green traffic network. Maximum spanning tree algorithm (MXAST) is also presented to select suitable traffic lights aim to reduce the number of RFID devices and guaranteed the whole urban cars can be monitored.
Crime & Criminal Network Tracking & Systems (CCTNS) has been projected as the panacea to all ills in the Police all across the country. This emanates from the fact that over and over again lack of accurate documentation and its timely retrieval has raised insurmountable problems to our functioning as a modern police force.
Today's police departments utilize computers in almost every aspect of functioning. From extensive national databases to community service websites, computers have increased the efficiency of compiling, processing, researching and analyzing all forms of e data, which is equally applicable to the Police.

The objective is to design and develop an application that will help to imp rove the efficiency and effectiveness of the police security measures in keeping criminal records. ABSTRACT The victims can file the FIR through the website under various sections. The user can send photo evidence if any online. There will be an 'SOS 'capability in which, the user can press a button and his/her location will be sent to the nearest Police station. There will be a separate component for the accident victims so that FIR can be registered fast and treatment can be started as soon as possible. In this current system, user's information will be kept confidential and only users complain will be forwarded to its nearest police station. Users complain number will be forwarded from the server side automatically. For identifying location and authentic person, concept of cookies and IP addressing has been used. To eliminate the location conflicts between police station, server will play a vital role. It will search the address table using IP address and forward message to that police location from where the message has been received. We intend to create a project which will help bridge the gap between the police department and the common man. 'Online FIR Registration and SOS system' project will have an app from where the users can file FIR against the offender under the various sections. The main site will be maintained by the admin (from the police) who will then notify the user if the FIR has been registered and the necessary action has been taken.

The vehicle permit system enables any person to obtain permission to transport timbers around Sri Lanka.
The persons can apply for vehicle licenses/permits via the forest department and verify them by the police.
It has been realized that the vehicle verification process is still done by stopping vehicles by local police
officers. The process of applying for licenses/permits is still done by visiting the divisional forest office, and
the records are maintained paper-based. This paper presents a novel concept for an Online real-time
permit verification system for Sri Lanka, and there is no ongoing system or architecture to do this concept
up to now. Two digital devices and a web portal were used for this concept to become a reality. Once
devices are powered ON, complete permit verifications can be automatically recorded into the web portal.
For example, if there is a police checkpoint with a checking device and a vehicle arriving towards the
checkpoint that has a vehicle device powered ON, once the vehicle reaches a 50m radius area, it transmits
a signal to the checkpoint device. With that signal, police officers can identify whether the arriving vehicle
has a valid permit. Also, they can get a fully detailed view of the permit. The permit issuing and verification
portal were hosted in a live environment and ready to receive signals from verification units in real-time.
Further development of this system uses the blockchain concept to share and save details among vehicles.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

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).

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024
Police IT, Press Note
1. PRESS NOTE
A Police Computer Wing was created in Karnataka in 1976 which was the first in
India. The CCIS (Crime Criminal Information System) software of Government of
India (GoI) was deployed in 1994. CIPA (Common Integrated Police Application)
hardware and software project of GoI was launched across the country in 2004.
Karnataka State Police continued with the CCIS software and upgraded the
hardware with the ones provided under CIPA project. The police leaders had the
vision and decided to go in for a software application exclusively for the state. This
was the genesis of the Police IT project in the year 2003. This software has been
developed by Wipro Ltd. It’s a comprehensive software application having the
capacity to take the functioning of the Police to a digital mode. It covers all the
functionalities of the police department and has a spread over every single unit of
the department.
The precursors to the deployment of the software are in place namely Data Center,
Wide Area Network, Anti- Virus/FMS/Asset Management, Trained Manpower,
Help Desk and the like. The software is the result of 700 man days of field study,
70 review meetings, 30,000 pages of documentation and 7000 man days of
development effort. Overall more than 100 training sessions have been conducted
imparting training to more than 4000 police personnel. The overall training
requirement for the software to be optimally functional is capacity building of
around 14,000 police personnel.
The KSP Network comprises of 10 Mbps aggregation bandwidth at the State Police
Data Center, 2 Mbps MPLS leased lines for 39 locations, and 512 Kbps VPNoBB
for 1400 remote locations. The Data Center is also connected to a 4 Mbps Internet
leased line which is distributed to 150 locations across the state. The Network has
been created by BSNL and they are providing the Network Management Services
as well.
The main features of the application are:
Centralised Architecture
Based on .Net framework technology from Microsoft
Based on ASP.Net with MS-SQL as Backend
Reporting using Adobe PDF Format
Uses http/https Protocol for client communication and universally
accepted XML format for Data Interchange
2. Multi user and bilingual
Role Based Access
Workflow design
Web based
The Police IT application has twelve modules:
Crime
Law and Order
Traffic
Administration
Finance
Stores
Armed Reserve
Motor Transport
Training
Wireless
Forensic Science Laboratory
Executive Information System
FSL and Foreigners Registration of the Law and Order Module are already
functional. The deployment of the simpler modules is planned in the initial phase so
that the software/hardware/networking and manpower is fully tested and made
conversant. One intensive round of training would precede the deployment of the
bigger modules. The magnitude of the deployment can be gauged from the fact that
the 12 modules have to be deployed across 1439 locations in a phased manner with
all activities, logistics and training being seamlessly integrated into each other.
Govt. of India has accepted Karnataka as one of the lead states for the Crime
Criminal Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS) Project. This project aims at
connecting 14,000 police stations and 6000 higher police offices across the country
and also the development of Core Application Software which can be customized by
the respective states. Karnataka has been permitted to implement its own software-
Police IT. It has been subsumed into the prestigious CCTNS project of Govt. of
India and in Karnataka presently the two projects function as one entity.
The phased implementation of all the modules of Police IT software application is
likely to be completed by the end of the 2010 calendar year.
