In culmination of its work over the last year, the FCC Working Group on the Information Needs of Communities delivered a report on June 9, 2011 addressing the rapidly changing media landscape in a broadband age. In 2009, a bipartisan Knight Commission found that while the broadband age is enabling an information and communications renaissance, local communities in particular are being unevenly served with critical information about local issues.
Soon after the Knight Commission delivered its findings, the FCC initiated a staff-level working group to identify crosscurrent and trend, and make recommendations on how the information needs of communities can be met in a broadband world.
The document discusses creating an ecosystem for next generation networks.

AN IOT-BASED CROWD SOURCING SYSTEM FOR OBJECT TRACKING AND INFORMATION SHARINGijaia
Technological advancements has offered many solutions to the important current issues such as the growing numbers ofrunaway children, wandering Alzheimer’s patients and lost pets in the society, yet most branches of current technologiesare not capable of encompassingallof these key problems. My researchproposes a solution that is practical, durable and reliable -- a proximity sensor device powered by other users in the area with a process known as “crowdsourcing”, by using their mobile devices as receiving stations of the service, extensively increasing the effectiveness of this service in especially urban and suburban areas where there is a high population density.
This document discusses heterogeneous networks and the growth of mobile data usage. It summarizes that heterogeneous networks use small cells to complement existing macro cell networks, improving capacity and the end user experience. Inter-layer coordination between macro cells and small cells is key. The network architecture evolves from solely improving macro cells to also densifying networks with small cells using the same spectrum, and adding additional small cells. This approach addresses the challenges of increasing mobile data usage and the need for more network capacity.

The document summarizes the results of a market research study on citizen perceptions of mass notification systems. The study found that awareness of mass notification systems is high, with most citizens feeling that alerts are relevant and the frequency is appropriate. Citizens are split on whether alerts should only be used for emergencies or also for important non-emergencies, though most agree with their local policies. Recorded phone calls are the preferred method of contact. Sending non-emergency alerts does not negatively impact how citizens engage with future alerts. Non-emergency alerts can increase feelings of community connection.

MARTINEZ - Enhancing Public Policy Decision Making using Large-scale Cell Pho...UN Global Pulse
VANESSA FRIAS MARTINEZ - a Scientific Researcher in the Data Mining and User Modeling Group at Telefonica Research in Madrid, Spain – focuses on technologies for emerging markets. She took participants through her work to determine specific human behaviors from cell phone data to evaluate the effectiveness of policy decisions. In order to measure the impact of the Mexican government’s H1N1 response in 2009, Vanessa analyzed call records to determine changes in people’s mobility patterns in Mexico City. The results indicated that the government’s policy to issue warnings to stay away from public spaces was in fact heeded by the citizens and thus effective in limiting exposure to the virus. Vanessa’s presentation also introduced cell phone data as cost-effective method to conduct demographic research in emerging economies.

Future of testing – impact of mobile devices somenath nag- calsoft labsSomenath Nag
Over last couple of years, mobile devices have shown a phenomenal growth, at the same time PC industry is on a declining path. Due to this, we are experiencing a paradigm shift on how applications are built, tested, and used by the end users, and has a potential to create a disruption in the traditional way of software development and QA. Though it started with consumers, enterprises are also embracing mobility more and more, especially after the stupendous success of iPad. At the same time enterprises are also facing challenges in the area of provisioning, data management, device management, and security. Mobile devices are also used differently compared to traditional computing platforms. Due to this mobility devices and platforms throw up a new kind of challenges to testing fraternity. Calsoft Labs, with its unique competence and experience of working with leading Software and Hardware companies, has been in the forefront of mobility. Calsoft Labs’ Mobility & Testing practice have been working together for some time to build methodologies, processes, and frameworks to address the challenges arising because of the above mentioned challenges shift and to create a new paradigm in application and product testing.

9. 2 CAP is king
Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) is an XML-
based data format for exchanging public
warnings and emergencies between alerting
technologies. CAP allows a warning message to
be consistently disseminated simultaneously over
many warning systems to many applications. CAP
increases warning effectiveness and simplifies the
task of activating a warning for responsible
officials.
10. The future for CAP
• Adoption will increase through IPAWS and beyond
• Will show up in RFPs
• More vendors will comply
• Could become condition of funding
