This document outlines a proposed forum called "Forum of Advanced Technologies – City of Nis Potentials" that would be held in Nis, Serbia. The forum aims to:
1) Map the potentials, resources, and development capacities of Nis's advanced technology sector across education, research, and business to attract new investments.
2) Connect educational institutions with manufacturing companies in advanced technologies to identify potentials and needs.
3) Create conditions for supplier chains between large companies and SMEs in Nis through direct contacts at the forum.
The two-day forum would include exhibitions of advanced technology products and panels on strategic goals and investment opportunities. It seeks to gather local stakeholders and promote Nis
The document summarizes the emergence of Helsinki as an international hub for knowledge industries. Key factors included early investments in education and telecommunications in the late 19th century that created competitive advantages. Long-standing national traditions of social networking and consensus-building also supported collaboration between universities, businesses and government on innovation strategies. While national policies boosted education and R&D funding, local city-regional policies still require more coordination to maximize economic interaction across the region. The structural legacy of Finland's history and traditions have combined with modern knowledge economy strengths to propel Helsinki onto the global innovation stage.
CULTURE AND CREATIVITY AS DRIVERS FOR LSEDAsaf Raz
1) The document discusses using culture and creativity as drivers for local sustainable economic development (LSED). It critiques the traditional LSED approach for its narrow focus on competitiveness and lack of resilience.
2) It argues that culture, creativity, and innovation are key intangible assets that can foster endogenous growth and development. Territories have unique institutional and cultural characteristics that influence economic outcomes.
3) The document examines initiatives taken by the Apulia region of Italy to enhance new cultural services, promote cross-sector activities, attract external demand, and exploit local comparative advantages in cultural industries as part of its strategy for a cultural-based LSED.
The document discusses different approaches to developing policies that promote creativity and knowledge in cities, using Munich as a case study. It outlines both an employees-oriented approach that focuses on the needs of creative knowledge workers through surveys, as well as an institutional approach that improves collaboration between organizations. Effective policies require considering both firms and individuals, with a focus on affordable housing, transportation, childcare, and providing flexible workspaces for creative workers. While creativity cannot be fully planned, indirect policy approaches that improve frameworks are important for governance.

The sector is more significant than previously acknowledged but remains difficult to define and measure precisely.
Can (Big) Data Bridge the Urban Infrastructure Gap?Sylvain Remy
Asia’s infrastructure needs are estimated at US$8 trillion over the next 10 years. Much of this infrastructure will be urban as Asian cities grow by the billions by 2050. Public-private partnerships will be key to meeting infrastructure needs. At the same time, large-scale data layers are materialising on top of urban physical infrastructure, as peta-bytes become exa-bytes of data generated by mobile and fixed "things" and their users.
This mass of data is fueling the emergence of completely new public and private business models, which radically improve asset capacity utilisation, and may even reduce infrastructure needs. Big data has the potential to empower new stakeholders, such as civic communities and new market players, to provide valuable, yet capital-thrifty, services, for instance through crowd-sourcing or disintermediation. What are the key drivers and success factors of the emergence and sustainability of new data-driven urban services? What kind of urban governance is needed to nurture and integrate new players and services in the city? What is the potential of data to substitute for future capital needs?

The document discusses open cities and sustainability. It defines smart cities under three traditions: human capital, technology, and digital literacy. The document hypothesizes that factors to advance smart city plans are key to differentiating models of urban governance. It compares cases from different world institutional settings and concludes that governance could be a key overarching variable. The work is based on research conducted by Olga Gil, Carmen Navarro, and Julio Navío from 2013-2014 on smart cities, smart citizens, and ideas for the future.
Chris Le Tourneur - Session 2: Non-Aeronautical Revenue Development.Global Airport Cities
This document discusses strategies for commercial development at airports. It suggests that airports can leverage their real estate assets to generate non-aeronautical revenue and drive regional economic growth. Airports can develop commercial "airport cities" that include office, retail, logistics and other land uses. These mixed-use developments attract businesses and diversify local economies. The document provides examples of airport cities that have targeted specific industry clusters to accelerate regional development. It also discusses factors like ownership models, levels of airport involvement, and partnerships that determine airport approaches to commercial development.
This document discusses the evolution of airports into "airport cities" due to globalization and increased air travel. It provides background on how airports have transformed from national infrastructure to hubs in global alliances. Examples are given of major international airport cities like Dubai and Frankfurt that integrate offices, hotels, retail and other urban amenities. The document also outlines plans to develop Amsterdam Airport Schiphol into an "aerotropolis" through various real estate and business developments that leverage its role as an aviation and logistics hub.
Mott MacDonald is one of the largest management, engineering, and development consultancies in the world. They have over 200 offices across 140 countries on six continents and have worked on over 16,000 projects. With over 14,000 employees, Mott MacDonald provides multisector and multiskilled services like construction, economics, project finance, design, management consultancy, capacity building, and technical advisory to plan, design, procure, and deliver projects of any scale and type. They also provide management consultancy based on technical know-how to help shape development policies and programs while advancing sustainability.
This document defines various airplane speeds and distances related to takeoff and landing performance. It defines speeds like stall speed, maximum gear speeds, and maneuvering speed. It also defines takeoff and landing distances like takeoff run available, takeoff distance available, accelerate-stop distance available, and landing distance available. It explains that takeoff requirements depend on factors like the runway length and whether clearways or stopways exist, and specifies formulas for field length requirements based on these factors.
This case study examines challenges in airport planning and design, including rising costs, ensuring suitable land, and keeping facilities up to date. Failure in design can impact runways, parking, aircraft facilities, and passenger flow. For example, in 2004 part of the boarding area at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris collapsed, killing six people. An investigation found issues like cutting corners on materials, multiple design concepts, and contractor history may have contributed to the failure. The collapse closed the airport, disrupted flights and passengers, led to complaints, and required compensation and renovation costs.
This document defines key distances related to aircraft takeoff and landing performance. It discusses:
- Screen height definitions for different aircraft types
- Definitions for runway, stopway, and clearway areas
- Declared distances including TORA, TODA, ASDA, and LDA that define available field lengths
- Required distances including TORR, TODR, and ASDR that must be met for safe takeoff and landing
- How to determine a balanced field length takeoff where TODR and ASDR are equal versus an unbalanced takeoff that takes advantage of a stopway or clearway.
This document discusses approach and landing performance requirements. It covers topics like approach definition, maximum and minimum speeds, landing weight limitations, climb requirements, landing distances, and factors affecting landing distance. Specifically, it defines speeds like VREF (reference landing approach speed) and VAPP (actual landing speed). It also discusses requirements for landing and approach climb gradients, and how to calculate landing distance required versus landing distance available on the runway.
This document provides information on basic aerodynamic principles including:
- The four main forces acting on an aeroplane in level flight are lift, weight, thrust, and drag. Lift opposes weight and thrust opposes drag to maintain equilibrium.
- Lift depends on factors like airspeed, air density, wing shape, angle of attack. It can be calculated using a formula involving coefficient of lift.
- Thrust directly opposes drag. Power is the rate of doing work and is the product of thrust and true airspeed.
- Drag has two main components - induced drag from wingtip vortices and profile (parasite) drag from friction and interference. Total drag is the sum
The document discusses various factors related to airport planning and design, including aircraft characteristics that influence airport design. It covers topics like types of aircraft propulsion systems; how aircraft size, weight, wheel configuration, turning radius, speed, and other characteristics impact runway length, taxiway width, apron size, and other facilities. Site selection factors for airports like land availability, meteorological conditions, accessibility, and surrounding development are also summarized.
The document discusses key aspects of ICAO's Annex 14, which provides standards and recommended practices (SARPs) for aerodrome design and operations. It outlines the objectives and methodology for understanding Annex 14 SARPs. It describes the development and amending process of SARPs and the contents and structure of Annex 14, including the aerodrome reference code system and different types of approaches. It also summarizes important SARPs regarding physical characteristics like obstacle limitation surfaces, markings, lighting, and signs.
The concept of knowledge-based urban development has first come to the urban planning and development agenda during the very last years of the 20th century as a promising paradigm to support the transformation process of cities into knowledge cities and their societies into knowledge societies
This document discusses innovation ecology perspectives for knowledge cities. It begins by proposing a model of innovation ecology with six dimensions: physical space, time space, virtual space, cultural space, financial space, and human space. It then discusses various constructs that can act as urban innovation engines to trigger innovation in a city, such as museums, libraries, stock exchanges, cafes, brownfields, fairs, and industrial districts. The document provides examples of innovation engines and concludes by outlining guidelines for creating a knowledge city that utilizes innovation engines and innovation ecology principles.
1) Montreal has a diversified ecology of knowledge that includes industrial clusters, creative industries, and a developed local science system.
2) The city has created thematic districts and spaces like La Tohu and SAT to support exchange and cross-fertilization between actors.
3) Numerous projects and events in Montreal foster innovation and cross-fertilization, bringing diversity and contributing to the city's brand.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

•
•
•
An asset literally means useful and desirable thing that is worth having or
quality for personal, social, economic or cultural benefit.
A resource with economic value that an individual, corporation or country
owns or controls with the expectation that it will provide future benefit.
A stock of financial, human, natural or social resources that can be acquired,
developed, improved and transferred across generations.

Financial Asset: Stocks, bonds, bank
deposits, and the like, it does not
necessarily have physical worth.
All
Assets
Non-Financial Asset: An asset with a
physical value such as land, property or
some type of object, it is physical and have
values based upon their physical properties.
Intangible Asset: not physical in nature.
Knowledge assets like intellectual property
(items such as patents, trademarks,
copyrights, business methodologies) is
common intangible asset in today's
economy.
Tangible Asset: An asset that has a
physical form such as machinery, buildings
and land.

8. Networks: Definitions
A network is a set of
interconnected nodes.Networks
consist of nodes and links.
•
Nodes: A node is the point
where the curve intersects itself.
Every “node” (which can be a
company, a person, but also a
city) in the knowledge network
develops its own specialization.
•
Links: A link is the means of
connecting one location to
another.
A completely-connected set of nodes

9. Urban Networks, City and Competitiveness
Urban Networks:
Urban Networks and Competitiveness:
•
there are many nodes with only a
few links and consequently a low
degree of competitiveness, but only
a few highly competitive nodes with
a large number of links (Power Law
distribution of networks).
Functional Approach
Links refer to quantifying various
interactions between economic
players dealing with business, R&D,
design, marketing, logistics etc.
Network Approach
Symbolic Approach
•
Spatial Logic
Nodes include potential economic
players such as business firms,
financial institutions and
governments.
Cognitive Logic
•
City as Interconnection
• city as a node in multiple and interacting transport,
economic and communication networks
• city as interconnection between place and node
City as Symbol
• city overcoming time and space
• city as symbol of territorial control
• city as producer of symbols, codes, and languages

10. Hard and Soft Networks
•
Hard Networks: infrastructure-dependent
networks
– Transportation Networks (roads,
intersections, parking areas, rail
infrastructure, railway stations, inland
waterways, inland harbors, sea lanes,
seaports, aviation routes and airports)
– ICT infrastructure
– Water and Energy Networks
Connection
•
Soft Networks: gathering knowledge via
people-related social interaction
Cooperation
– Research and knowledge networks
– Cultural and institutional networks

14. Universities and R&D Centers
•
Universities perform the role of ‘local knowledge hubs’ bringing
global knowledge into the region. Those knowledge hubs can be
considered as the core of the formation of new knowledge precinct
developments where the learning value has the prime importance.
University-centered developments have a special foci on research,
experimentation, and testing that has created the triple-helix model
of innovation (public-private-academia partnership)
15. Knowledge Clusters and
Technology Hotspots
•
•
•
As a centre of national culture and media industries Istanbul can
easily exploit specific niches for instance in design and fashion in
line with a careful clustering policy and urban knowledge precincts
for creative industries.
Two spontaneous knowledge clusters and technology hotspots in
Istanbul:
– Maslak-Taksim Axis: big media conglomerates and ICT firms in
new business centre
– Kadikoy-Pendik Axis: ICT-based services in the Asian side of
Istanbul.
However, there is no sign of designed cluster policy and formation of
new urban knowledge precincts in this regard, particularly no
evidence of knowledge community precinct development.
16. Quality Human Stock:
Talent, Innovation and Creativity
•
•
•
Quality of human stock and talent pool is vital for knowledge-based
urban development of Istanbul.
The lack of appropriate secondary and tertiary education is a
significant bottleneck for knowledge society strategies in Istanbul as
well as rest of Turkey. This holds back the knowledge intensive
sectors, like Istanbul’s software industry, as it does not produce the
required skilled human stock for the market.
Istanbul is either underdeveloped or not significantly strong in terms
of competitiveness and innovativeness. Nevertheless, as a result of
its natural, historical and architectural assets, growing urban
infrastructure investments and advanced service industries,
Istanbul’s economic and resident skill base are still good enough to
accommodate more qualified jobs and international talent in the
foreseeable future.
17. Other Supporting Bases
•
•
Strong economic base: Istanbul produces 26 percent
of the gross added values of the entire Turkish
economy. Istanbul has registered one of the highest
output growth rates since the mid-1990s. Istanbul has
also attracted most of the FDI in the country,
particularly in producer services.
Socio-cultural base Istanbul has many strong assets
to attract knowledge workers seeking to live and work
in an ‘authentic’ and ‘historical’ place:
–
–
–
–
–
its very location,
its unique architectural heritage,
vibrant urban districts,
the legacy of its historical heritage, and
its wide range of other attractions

25. Opportunities and Constraints
Opportunities:
• quality of supporting bases to
promote knowledge asset
base (cultural, historical,
logistical and financial assets)
• increasing economic linkages
with (inter)national hinterland
• Rising investment and
awareness on biotechnology
(i.e. pharmaceutical) and
software industry (i.e. Valley of
Informatics Project)
Constraints:
• massiveness of labor-intensive
activities in the economic base
and lack of skilled human stock
for the advanced industries
• constraints on human capital
development,
• large informal sector and
increased income disparities,
• over-migration decaying urban
infrastructures,
• lack of affordable housing,
• high earthquake and quality of
life risk
26. Further Actions for Developing
Knowledge Asset Base
1.
2.
3.
Istanbul does benefit from its important assets and international
networks in the knowledge-based development of the city but
reforms and new strategies are needed:
Sectoral mix of technology zones should be seriously
reconsidered. New creative industry sectors like design and
fashion incubators should be initiated.
Istanbul should use the knowledge as the most strategic element
for the integration to the global system. Therefore, strategy and
initiatives for leveraging knowledge assets should be based on
city’s unique assets and opportunities.
To enhance Istanbul’s knowledge base there is a crucial need to
move towards a knowledge-based urban development and
investment structure based on the triple-helix model. R&D
activities should be thematically concentrated and industryuniversity relations should be enhanced to increase
competitiveness and create high-skilled employment.
27. ‘Asset Management’ as a starting point for
Knowledge-based Development of Istanbul
Asset Identification
(Inventory, Mapping)
In order to improve
solid asset base, a
long-term asset
building strategy and
careful asset
management
framework should be
applied for Istanbul.
Asset Valuation
(Evaluation of strengths and Selection of
Priority Areas)
Integration with City Vision and other strategic
goals, objectives and plans
Preparation of Asset Management Plan
(Short Term/Long Term)
Selection of Application Projects
(According to Calculating Risk and Benefits)
Project
Implementations
New Produced Assets
Performance
Monitoring
Financial and
Institutional
Resources
Organizational
Capacity
This framework is now
generic, more
empirically focused
research is needed for
mapping Istanbul’s
knowledge asset base.
