The World

In a rapidly changing world, continuous adoption of new practices is crucial for survival; organizations embracing the latest technologies have a competitive edge. Smart organizations readily take on board new organizational forms and practices, those in particular that offer agility and responsiveness. The Internet and the World Wide Web offer a new way of collaboration via Web services, but heterogeneity of different service components make cooperation difficult. This chapter describes a new approach to combine Web services by employing a layered structure, in which composition of a value-added service can be built from individual components, and each service component can have semantically equivalent but syntactically different alternatives.

Food Photography

In today's screen saturated culture, perceptions of food are overwhelmingly formed by images circulated via the internet and mobile. The Facebook game FarmVille is the subject of Kheti Badi (Shah, 2015), a photographic artwork reflexively engaging with the contemporary scenario of ‘post-photography'. The work comprises not of photographs taken with a traditional camera but of screenshots of a farm and its holdings as displayed in Farmville; the highly compressed jpegs cropped and resized to the point of destabilizing visual coherence are depictions not of pastoral landscapes but of computer vision and the programmable character of photography. While photography remains an instrument for recording material realities, its power extends toward feeding back into the very processes through which science and technology modify food production. This chapter explores how Kheti Badi, through a series of hyper artificial and un-photographic images, shows the constructed nature of both what we put our hands on in the supermarket and see in advertising's dreamscapes.

Education Process

Engineering education process is heavily relying on the practical hands-on experimentation. However, todayâ??s education is involving more and more e-learning aspects and learners expect to get most of the content and activity available over the Internet. Practical experiments is not trivial to carry out over the Internet, but using novel ICT technologies and integrated solution, it is possible to offer real experimentation over the Internet. This paper describes and presents the remote practical experiment system in robotic and embedded system domain.

The term Internet of Things as a component of Future Internet is a recent fast growing global network infrastructure which extends Internet with a sensors and actuators shield. The paper presents a hands-on learning kit based on an open standard embedded computer connected to Internet enabling live data processing. The system uses cloud programming tools to add significant value to the education purpose, by including up-to-date innovative technical approaches and pedagogical values for improving the attractiveness and efficiency of the education activities in the engineering area. The learning goal intends to develop the Internet of things as new universe based on smart objects, connected to the Internet via adequate sensors and actuators. This can be an essential tool for a deeper understanding of the main concepts in physics, informatics and math, even in the early steps of learning. Based on cloud programming resources, the hardware-software components use the latest version of low power 32-bit embedded computer development platform and process interfaces to allow data monitoring, remote physical experiments, mobile world supervising, and collaborative project development. As an open standard learning tool, the kit offers a new computational framework able to serve in scientific experiments and discovery-based learning. This study was strongly motivated by the European Union recommendation to support and enrich the university curriculum by engaging students in hands-on engineering and design activities.

The question is, "What can vision do?" (Fritz, 1989) rather than "What is vision?" Keter's Chairman, Mr.  Sami Sagol's vision is to establish an internship program that will strengthen the competitive edge of the Israeli industry, within the international arena. The program will set new standards of excellence for product development, engineering, technology and design. Mr. Sagol's vision of excellence, in the internship program, has commenced in a process of changing Keter from a conservative industry to a learning organization, which promotes innovation, excellence, and knowledge. His vision has changed Keter.

A software system DYNAST for efficient modeling and simulation distributed across the Internet is freely accessible at http://virtual.cvut.cz/dyn/. DYNAST supports collaboration of remote engineering teams as well as hands-on training of Web-based-course learners. The DYNAST Server solves nonlinear algebro-differential equations, and automatically formulates them for multipole models characterizing configuration of real dynamic systems. DYNAST Server is also able to linearize the models and to provide their semisymbolic analysis in time- and frequency-domains. Clients can submit their problems and interpret the simulation results across the Internet using different user environments. The results can be animated in 3D by means of VRML. The DYNAST Server supports also publishing standardized reports on simulation experiments. The accompanying Web-based course with a knowledge-sharing system and interactively resolvable examples exploits innovative didactic approaches. In control design, the modeling efficiency of DYNAST can be combined to a great advantage with the control-design power of the MATLAB toolsets.

The Internet Of Things

The developing nations requires to have sustainable developments in the industries to have new product development and continuous improvement in the social and economic levels paving way for the customer satisfaction. The Big data and the Internet of things are innovative technologies that have made their separate stand in the industrial sector of manufacturing and providing competitive edge to the companies. So the combining of two technologies would multiply anticipation and would create way for the enhanced productivity by satisfying the global needs of the business. Further, the internet of thing along with the big data analytics is also expected to provide with the enhanced security provision, quality of process and products with reduced production down time and financial risk. So the paper proposes the big data and IoT role in the industrial sector and evaluates its performance by analyzing the impacts of the big data and the internet of things in the industry to have sustainability in production process. The proposed framework also analyses the potential applications and the key advantages offered by the integration of the internet of things and the big data.
