The Nujiang is one of the regions where debris flow disasters occur frequently. For a long time, debris flow disasters have caused serious losses of life and property, so strengthening and controling the management of debris flow disasters and predict and alert debris flow disasters has become one of the main tasks for constructing and protecting ecological environment. Based on WebGIS, Internet of...
In this paper, we focus on Smart Cities, particularly revolution at the edges of the fabric, examining the objectives for developing a Smart City and the direct link between the business/requirements model and its delivery through services, applications, sensors and edge networks. We will provide an overview of how cities are developed and a view of how a Smart City is characterised. Whilst intelligent...
The intention of a Smart City concept is among other things to increase the energy efficiency of a city. Typically addressed topics are energy management or urban traffic management. Up to now Information and Communication Technology (ICT) measures within a Smart City to increase energy efficiency in public lighting have not been considered in detail. The paper presents an approach of an intelligent...
Web services, which are deployed independently in the cloud, can be used to build very large scale business processes. These cloud based web services are very dynamic as they can be added, modified and deleted from the repository on the fly. Discovering such dynamic web services for executing large scale business processes is very challenging and error prone process. This paper analyzed these dynamic...
Geofencing is one of the components in the wider spectra of Ambient Assisted Living related applications. Such applications are meant to provide support to persons with disabilities or to those impaired, as well as to their caretakers. Within this context, geofencing targets the safe mobility of such persons. As mobility related data can be translated into events with a temporal dimension, we have...
The emerging infrastructure of the Smart Grid, and the multitude of the new energy services it will offer, is expected to radically affect business relationships among its stakeholders. Beyond enhancements in existing processes, innovative approaches will be made possible by relying on a fine-grained monitoring and control capabilities over modern informationcentric infrastructure. Traditional infrastructure...
The London Congestion Charging (LCC) scheme was initially introduced on 17 February 2003. Being the largest of its kind and employing advanced technology, it marked a major innovation in the field of urban road user charging and provided inspiration to several other cities worldwide. Nine years on, and following a number of operational changes that have taken place, this study analyzes successes and...
The smart grid enabled city is an emerging complex system of systems where different stakeholders will have to strive towards achieving their goals while interacting with each-other. At parts of the city such as the districts, the energy signature and efforts towards its better energy efficiency will heavily depend on the utilization of availability and optimal usage of the local resources. The latter...
At the current seismic data sharing construction research gaps for the key, put forward to build the regional earthquake science data sharing platform of the target and significance. Summarize of seismic data in time, space, integrated, information of the massive, obtaining means diversity characteristics, and the earthquake science data sharing platform user classification. To point out the regional...
Web service technology expands the role of the Web from a simple data carrier to a service provider. To sustain this role, some issues such as reliability continue to hurdle Web services widespread use, and thus need to be addressed. Autonomic computing seems offering solutions to the specific issue of reliability. These solutions let Web services self-heal in response to the errors that are detected...
The on-line monitoring environment system based on WebGIS in Guangzhou City would make government departments of environmental management understand the actual emissions status of pollution source timely and accurately, which strengthened environmental supervision methods to investigate and deal with serious source of pollution emissions enterprise on over standard. On-line monitoring system attempted...
The research is essentially to modularize the structure of utilities and develop a system for following up the activities electronically on the city scale. The GIS operational platform will be the base for managing the infrastructure development components with the systems interoperability for the available city infrastructure related systems. The concentration will be on the available utility networks...
Digitized urban management is a new mode of urban management today, is also an important application field of M-commerce technology. This paper attempts to probe into the application of M-commerce in digitized urban management, beginning with the development of M-commerce technology and the requirement of digitized urban management. With the case of Shenzhen ldquoChengGuanTongrdquo mobile information...
It is important to ensure that the IT governance is not only designed to achieve internal efficiency in the IT organization, such as deploying good IT processes and making sure that the means and goals are documented. The final goal of good IT governance is rather to provide the business with the support needed in order to conduct business in a good manner. This paper describes the IT organization...
This study evaluates the use of benefits realisation management (BRM) in information technology (IT) projects. Past research concludes that realising the tangible and intangible benefits from IT projects is not easy and is often not carried out at all. Fifty-four IT project managers in South Africa successfully completed an online questionnaire. An analysis of the data showed that, whilst BRM processes...
