Trust aware crowd associated network-based approach for optimal waste management in smart cities
No full textThis is an accepted manuscript of an article published by CRC Press (Taylor & Francis) in Security and Organization within IoT and Smart Cities (in press), available online: https://www.routledge.com/Security-and-Organization-within-IoT-and-Smart-Cities/Ghafoor-Curran-Kong-Sadiq/p/book/9780367893330
The accepted version of the publication may differ from the final published version.Waste management has been a serious issue in urban areas due to the population growth. An appropriate solid waste management system is needed to improve the cleanliness of the environment. On the other hand, the rapid growth of the wide adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) within the context of smart cities has motivated numerous number of studies investigating new solutions that could be helpful in mitigating and solving the waste management issue. Despite the existence of such methods have been introduced and used in managing waste’s location, volume and the optimal path for collection, yet these IoT based technologies are vulnerable to misinformation kinds of cyber attack. Consequently these types of attacks will yield crucial impact on the decided collection path and the frequency of garbage trucks visiting the fake reported waste points, which obviously costs money and time. Hence, this chapter proposes a trusted crowd associated network architecture that uses a group of components to monitor waste and provide optimum collection route for the garbage truck. Netlogo a multi-agent platform has been used to simulate a real time monitoring on waste management as a proof of concept. Our proposed approach measures the waste level data then updates and records them continuously. An optimal route will then be provided to the garbage truck for the optimal waste’s collection once a certain number of bins have reached a predefined threshold (combination of weight and height values). Three simulation scenarios are defined, implemented, and their results have been validated. The performance measure shows that our proposed solution could provide an aid waste management companies in reducing cost and time in the waste collection process, which supports the integration plans of IoT technology within smart cities
Revitalising the Australian Shipping Industry through Tax Reform: Alchemy or Piracy?
No full textThe Australian Federal Government has recently passed reforms to the shipping industry. These reforms are aimed at removing barriers to investment in Australian shipping, fostering global competitiveness and securing a stable maritime skills base. The shipping reform package adopts a two pronged approach designed to achieve its stated goals by providing both a ‘stick’ and ‘carrot’ to industry participants. First, the ‘stick’ is delivered via the provision of tighter regulation of coastal trading operations through a new licencing system, along with the introduction of a civil penalty regime and an increase in existing penalties. Second, the ‘carrot’ is delivered via taxation incentives available to vessels registered in Australia where the registrant meets certain specified criteria. These incentives, introduced through amendments to the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 and the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 and contained in the Tax Laws Amendment (Shipping Reform) Act 2012, provide five key tax incentives to the shipping industry. From 1 July 2012, amendments give effect to an income tax exemption for qualifying ship operators, accelerated depreciation of vessels, roll-over relief from income tax on the sale of a vessel, an employer refundable tax offset, and an exemption from royalty withholding tax for payments made for the lease of certain shipping vessels
Handbook of data quality: research and practice
No full textThe issue of data quality is as old as data itself. However, the proliferation of diverse, large-scale and often publically available data on the Web has increased the risk of poor data quality and misleading data interpretations. On the other hand, data is now exposed at a much more strategic level e.g. through business intelligence systems, increasing manifold the stakes involved for individuals, corporations as well as government agencies. There, the lack of knowledge about data accuracy, currency or completeness can have erroneous and even catastrophic results. With these changes, traditional approaches to data management in general, and data quality control specifically, are challenged. There is an evident need to incorporate data quality considerations into the whole data cycle, encompassing managerial/governance as well as technical aspects. Data quality experts from research and industry agree that a unified framework for data quality management should bring together organizational, architectural and computational approaches. Accordingly, Sadiq structured this handbook in four parts: Part I is on organizational solutions, i.e. the development of data quality objectives for the organization, and the development of strategies to establish roles, processes, policies, and standards required to manage and ensure data quality. Part II, on architectural solutions, covers the technology landscape required to deploy developed data quality management processes, standards and policies. Part III, on computational solutions, presents effective and efficient tools and techniques related to record linkage, lineage and provenance, data uncertainty, and advanced integrity constraints. Finally, Part IV is devoted to case studies of successful data quality initiatives that highlight the various aspects of data quality in action. The individual chapters present both an overview of the respective topic in terms of historical research and/or practice and state of the art, as well as specific techniques, methodologies and frameworks developed by the individual contributors. Researchers and students of computer science, information systems, or business management as well as data professionals and practitioners will benefit most from this handbook by not only focusing on the various sections relevant to their research area or particular practical work, but by also studying chapters that they may initially consider not to be directly relevant to them, as there they will learn about new perspectives and approaches
The legal framework for private sector development in a transitional economy : the case of Poland
No full textThe economies of Central and Eastern Europe are in the midst of a historic transition from central planning and state ownership to development of a market-driven private sector. This transition requires comprehensive changes in"rules of the game"- including the legal framework for economic activity. A market economy presupposes a set of property rights and a system of laws or customs that allow the exchange of those rights. The legal framework in a market economy has at least three basic functions: defining the universe of property rights; setting the rules for entry into and exit from productive activities; and setting the rules of market exchange. These legal tasks are accomplished by areas of law such as: company, foreign investment, bankruptcy, contract and competition law. Poland has a rich legal tradition dating from pre-socialist times, which was suppressed but not eliminated during its forty years of socialism. This tradition is being revised as the country moves toward a private market economy. The current legal framework in Poland closely follows other continental jurisdictions and has a clear and reasonable internal logic. Many of the laws are old, but most are flexible enough to permit a wide range of modern, market-oriented activity. Property law, however, remains a"jungle". The wide discretion and general lack of precedent create tremendous legal uncertainty that is sure to hamper private sector development.Environmental Economics&Policies,Banks&Banking Reform,Municipal Housing and Land,Legal Products,Land and Real Estate Development
