Plan Design

Information technology plays a growing role in planning procedures. A procedure step which has not been supported by specific computer tools up to now, is asynchronous discussions. Such discussions can occur in public participation as well as between planners during plan design. In this paper I introduce argumentation models as a way of structuring debates, and review existing tools for recording argumentation. A limited number of tools support design-related or map-related discussions. Their short-comings for analyzing geographically referenced arguments are discussed. Finally, the concept of `argumentation maps' is described, which combine the strengths of rigorous argumentation modeling and detailed geographic location to support map-based discussions in on-line planning.

Security Risk Management

The relevance of the article is because in parallel with the processes of introduction of innovations in the field of automation and computerization of the banking system, the number of types of banking risks associated with innovations in the field of on-line customer service and internal Bank reporting, as well as information systems. As a result of this article, we have studied the latest legislative acts of the Central Bank of Russia as a mega-regulator and summarized the practice of both individual credit institutions and the banking sector in the field of information technology development risks in the banking sector. To strengthen the development of new financial technologies in the digital economy, it is necessary to regularly discuss the emergence of new phenomena and innovations; to consider the possibility of further analysis of existing methodological developments to exchange best practices of banks. Building an effective it security risk management system is not a one-time project. Still, a complex process is important, focused on minimizing external and internal threats and taking into account the limitations on resources and time factor

Emission Dispatch

This paper presents an improved artificial bee colony (ABC) technique for solving the dynamic economic emission dispatch (DEED) problem. Ramp rate limits, valve-point loading effects and prohibited operating zones (POZs) have been considered. The proposed technique integrates the grenade explosion method and Cauchy operator in the original ABC algorithm, to avoid random search mechanism. However, the DEED is a multi-objective optimization problem with two conflicting criteria which need to be minimized simultaneously. Thus, it is recommended to provide the best solution for the decision-makers. Shannon’s entropy-based method is used for the first time within the context of the on-line planning of generator outputs to extract the best compromise solution among the Pareto set. The robustness of the proposed technique is verified on six-unit and ten-unit system tests. Results proved that the proposed algorithm gives better optimum solutions in comparison with more than ten metaheuristic techniques.

This paper discusses pedagogical and technological aspects of networked learning and the interplay between pedagogical principles, information technology and the educa-tional and organisational frameworks in the context of a distance-teaching course for Danish graduates seeking research-based further education and training in English for medical purposes. The empirical basis is an evaluation report of a second generation distance-teaching course where applied information technologies are geared to maxi-mum pedagogical efficiency by presenting on-line course materials in a flat visual de-sign and by facilitating dialogue between course participants working in teams.

This narrative of an engagement with the open and distance learning system and its highpoint of launching anonline learning package in 2001 reveals an attempt to integrate various components of multi-media format of course development. The uneasy task of meeting the various needs of diverse learners became possible by using the information technology tools to communicate and interact more effectively. Well-structured architecture of the website of the program, including its peer-evaluated threaded discussion board has been well accepted by he learners. Rudimentary in its overall design, this first eversocial science on-line program in India may be, it has generated in the institution a live interest in encouraging further attempts at launching on-line programs of study

Singapore’s E-government model is considered to be among the best in the world. Over the past decade the Singapore government has constantly developed and re-developed its on-line presence. International comparisons have consistently rated Singapore as one of the most advanced E-government nations. However, despite significant progress towards full E-government maturity, some issues of full public participation remain. It is these issues which this chapter discusses. In particular, it will consider the ways in which a digital divide within the Singapore model has emerged, despite specific policies to address such a problem.

The University

Discusses the rise of information technology functions in higher education and the related advent of quality standards for on-line education. The limited nature of existing guidelines is emphasized, particularly in the dimension of establishing authentic relationships, empowerment of faculty and students, and the inculcation of critical thinking. The Borkian vision of the future of education is summarized and contrasted with the limits if not failure of the legacies of past large-scale educational investments in programmed learning and in computer simulation. The drift toward mandated standards in on-line/distance education is discussed as well as the tension of this with empowerment concepts. Further contrast is drawn between the competing models of the university as “community of scholars” and as “marketplace of consumers.” Cost-cutting motives for on-line course delivery are explored in some detail, raising issues about radical proposals to restructure university teaching functions. A hybrid model, involving both computer-mediated and face-to-face methods, is seen as the superior instructional strategy, but the cost of this model raises the danger that a two-tier educational system will emerge – a more expensive upper tier with sound traditional education supplemented with the benefits of electronic media, and a cheaper, inferior tier dispensing programmed training to meet objectives far narrower than the traditional goals of liberal education.
