Portare i propri dati o servizi su cloud fa ancora paura e la paura è una barriera all’ingresso. Ma davvero il Cloud è così pericoloso? Davvero è meno sicuro di quanto non lo sia custodire tutto in casa?
La risposta sta in un paragone spesso usato in questi casi, che è quello dei risparmi: è più sicuro portare i propri soldi in banca che tenerli a casa propria, perché la banca ha una capacità di difesa dei propri averi molto più elevata di quanto ciascuno di noi possa fare autonomamente.
Nel mondo IT accade la stessa cosa. Sicuramente i cloud provider sono in grado di creare dei livelli di difesa e protezione dei dati dei propri clienti superiori rispetto a quanto non possa fare internamente l’azienda stessa. Tuttavia, mentre i soldi depositati in banca vengono rimpiazzati da altri soldi nel caso di una rapina, i propri dati non possono essere rimpiazzati da altri dati una volta persi o rubati. Questo dimostra che le paure nell’affrontare il cloud sono fondate e che la sfida per i cloud provider è molto elevata. Mentre la banca può mettere in conto di essere svaligiata, i cloud provider non possono neanche prendere in considerazione tale ipotesi.

Simulation-Based Impact Analysis for Sustainable Manufacturing Design and Man...Mijoh Gbededo
The document outlines a research project to develop a simulation-based framework for holistic assessment of sustainable manufacturing design and management. It discusses limitations of current approaches that assess sustainability dimensions independently. The objective is to integrate sustainability assessment tools and discrete event simulation into a common framework. This would allow analysis of production performance and sustainability impacts, as well as interdependencies between the three sustainability pillars of economic, environmental and social factors. The framework is intended to provide effective sustainability metrics and support decision-making for cost reduction, risk management and consistent reporting.
This paper provides an overview of common interest rate models used in finance to help actuaries incorporate interest rate modeling into applications such as dynamic financial analysis, pricing, and valuation. Several popular interest rate models are simulated and the results are compared to historical interest rate movements. The purpose is to explain the basics of interest rate modeling and demonstrate how changing model parameters affects the results. Understanding interest rate models is important for actuaries given the impact of interest rate volatility on insurance companies and other financial intermediaries.
Critical Infrastructure and Disaster Risk Reduction Planning under Socioecono...Global Risk Forum GRFDavos
This document discusses approaches for designing critical infrastructure systems under uncertainty from socioeconomic and climate change. It suggests applying safety factors or designing flexible systems to deal with an uncertain future. Quantitative decision models were used to determine the optimal safety factor and measure the value of flexibility. The models showed the safety factor should be higher for inflexible systems and lower for flexible ones. Flexibility is more valuable when there is potential for significant learning and changes over the system's lifetime. The regulatory framework, such as requiring a risk-based versus rule-based approach, also influences design choices. The document concludes with design recommendations based on optimizing safety factors and valuing flexibility under different types and degrees of uncertainty.
Vashti Galpin presents a prototype model of a residential smart energy scheme using stochastic Hybrid Process Equations (HYPE) to model energy flow between households. The model represents four connected households that each have a wind turbine and electric vehicle. Experiments compare the total cost and energy usage under different sharing policies. Results show sharing unused renewable energy between households improves efficiency and reduces costs compared to not sharing. Extensions to model additional energy sources, storage and sharing policies at larger scales are discussed.
This document summarizes a presentation given at the 4th International Conference on Advances in Energy Research titled "Pinch Analysis for MultiDimensional Sustainable Energy Systems Planning".

It will provide decision support, triage tools, and other applications to help coordinate multi-agency emergency responses and management of resources and patients.
This document discusses model integration, which involves linking heterogeneous models together into an operational model chain or network. Model integration requires mediation beyond just merging information from different schemas. It discusses how model integration involves assembling tools and methods to generate new knowledge for engineering tasks. Examples shown include stacking ensemble methods using base learners and a meta-learner to combine predictions, as well as using machine learning models as first-stage classifiers with a deep learning model as the ensemble model. The conclusion is that model integration aims to make better decisions by combining results from different classifiers, whether through an integrated model or final decision.

Strategic Energy Systems Planning under UncertaintyEmilio L. Cano
The document discusses a decision support system (DSS) called EnRiMa that was developed for operators of energy-efficient buildings. The DSS uses a strategic model to make long-term decisions about technology installations and a linked operational model to determine short-term energy dispatching. The model accounts for uncertainty through a scenario tree and stochastic optimization. An example application to a building evaluating photovoltaic and combined heat and power technologies under different demand scenarios is presented.
Reproducible Operations Research. An Application to Energy Systems OptimizationEmilio L. Cano
This document discusses reproducible operations research using an integrated framework in R. It presents a case study on the EnRiMa project, which developed a decision support system for energy systems optimization. The key components discussed include a symbolic model specification to represent optimization models mathematically, a solver manager to generate solver input and output documentation, and reporting of results. The goal is to tie specific instructions to data analysis and models so results can be recreated and better understood.
A Symbolic Model Specification for Energy Efficiency Optimization ModelsEmilio L. Cano
The document describes a symbolic model specification for energy efficiency optimization models. It presents the outline which includes the introduction to the EnRiMa project and decision support system, the optimization models involving strategic and operational modules, the symbolic model specification including representation of variables, parameters, sets, and equations, and reproducible research. Key aspects of the symbolic model specification are that it contains the mathematical representation of optimization models for relevant energy subsystems and their interactions in a data-driven way using indices to identify individual model entities.

The report *State of D2C in India: A Logistics Update* talks about the evolving dynamics of the d2C landscape with a particular focus on how brands navigate the complexities of logistics. Third Party Logistics enablers emerge indispensable partners in facilitating the growth journey of D2C brands, offering cost-effective solutions tailored to their specific needs. As D2C brands continue to expand, they encounter heightened operational complexities with logistics standing out as a significant challenge. Logistics not only represents a substantial cost component for the brands but also directly influences the customer experience. Establishing efficient logistics operations while keeping costs low is therefore a crucial objective for brands. The report highlights how 3PLs are meeting the rising demands of D2C brands, supporting their expansion both online and offline, and paving the way for sustainable, scalable growth in this fast-paced market.
