A lot of hard work and years of research are still needed for developing successful Blockchain (BC) applications. Although it is not yet standardized, BC technology was proven as to be an enhancement factor for security, decentralization, and reliability, leading to be successfully implemented in cryptocurrency industries. Fog computing (FC) is one of the recently emerged paradigms that needs to be improved to serve Internet of Things (IoT) environments of the future. As hundreds of projects, ideas, and systems were proposed, one can find a great R\&D potential for integrating BC and FC technologies. Examples of organizations contributing to the R\&D of these two technologies, and their integration, include Linux, IBM, Google, Microsoft, and others. To validate an integrated Fog-Blockchain protocol or method implementation, before the deployment phase, a suitable and accurate simulation environment is needed. Such validation should save a great deal of costs and efforts on researchers and companies adopting this integration. Current available simulation environments facilitate Fog simulation, or BC simulation, but not both. In this paper, we introduce a Fog-Blockchain simulator, namely FoBSim, with the main goal is to ease the experimentation and validation of integrated Fog-Blockchain approaches. According to our proposed workflow of simulation, we implement different Consensus Algorithms (CA), different deployment options of the BC in the FC architecture, and different functionalities of the BC in the simulation. Furthermore, technical details and algorithms on the simulated integration are provided. We validate FoBSim by describing the technologies used within FoBSim, highlighting FoBSim novelty compared to the state-of-the-art, discussing the event validity in FoBSim, and providing a clear walk-through validation. Finally, we simulate two case studies, then present and analyze the obtained results.

The Web Service Offerings Infrastructure (WSOI) is a monitoring and management infrastructure for the Web Service Offerings Language (WSOL). It extends Apache Axis, an open-source tool for hosting Web services. We present technical details of several WSOI solutions for monitoring Web Services. To pass management information among management parties, we built WSOI serializer and WSOI deserializer modules converting data between formats of Axis’ MessageContext properties and SOAP headers. To perform different monitoring activities for different WSOL service offerings, we implemented Web Service Offering Descriptor (WSOD) as a complement to Axis’ Web Service Deployment Descriptor (WSDD) component. To represent run-time values of WSOL-related management information, we developed WSOI management information model. All these solutions were verified with a prototype implementation of WSOI 2.0 and validated on case studies.

In underwater sensor network(UWSN) research, it is highly expensive to deploy a complete test bed involving complex network structure and data links to validate a network protocol or an algorithm. This practical challenge points to the need of a simulation environment which can reproduce the actual underwater scenario without the loss of generality. Since so many simulators are proposed for UWSN simulation, the selection of an appropriate tool based on the research requirement is very important in validation and interpretation of results. This paper provides an in-depth survey of different simulation tools available for UWSN simulation. We compared the features offered by each tool, pre-requirements, and provide the run time experiences of some of the open source tools. We conducted simulation of sample scenarios in some of the open source tools and compared the results. This survey helps a researcher to identify a simulation tool satisfying their specific research requirements.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> FOSS4G stands for Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial. It is the flagship event of OSGeo. Each FOSS4G has its special aura, kindly designed by each Local Organising Committe, sharing the local culture and spirit with the greater community. In 2019, geo-spatial.org, the OSGeo Local Chapter of Romania, won the honour of organising the geospatial event of the year. FOSS4G 2019 was held in Bucharest (Romania), in three of the most important buildings of this city: National Theatre of Bucharest, InterContinental Hotel and Faculty of Geography from the University of Bucharest.</p><p>Following the established tradition of FOSS4G conferences, at the 2019 edition, an Academic Track ran in parallel with the General Track. The main purpose of this track was to bring together researchers, teachers, developers, users and practitioners carrying out research activities in geospatial domains, with an emphasis on the open source solutions. All types of topics such as results achieved, case studies, work in progress, academic endeavours to conceptualize, assess or teach open source geospatial software and data, were welcomed. The Academic Committee discouraged prevalent presentations of technologies or use cases without properly justifying originality to the scientific state of the art, emphasizing on particular novelty.</p><p>At this edition, 53 papers were submitted to the Academic Track. These were blind reviewed by 3 reviewers. Finally 38 scientific papers were selected for publication in this volume of the ISPRS Archives. The editors would like to thank all the authors, the members from the Scientific Committee and the Organizing Committee for their valuable contributions. We hope you enjoy reading the proceedings.</p>

Artykuł przedstawia najnowsze kierunki rozwoju technologii informacyjno-komunikacyjnej w edukacji wyższej na świecie, a także prognozę na najbliższe lata. Niektóre z przedstawionych idei są obecne w formie szczątkowej w Polsce, natomiast większość z nich nie jest aktualnie stosowana w szkolnictwie wyższym w Polsce. Wykorzystanie TIK wraz z systemami kształcenia na odległość (KnO) jest jednym z najważniejszych wyzwań polskiego szkolnictwa wyższego. W artykule autorzy omawiają trendy TIK w edukacji wyższej podejmowane przez czołowe ośrodki uniwersyteckie na świecie m.in.: mobile learning, internet rzeczy (ang. Internet of Things), poszerzona rzeczywistość (ang. augmented reality, AR) oraz open-source learning. Autorzy zastosowali metodologie studiów przypadku (case-studies) do opisania innowacyjnych praktyk implementacji TIK w szkolnictwie wyższym wraz z wnioskami praktycznymi dla polskich uczelni. Autorzy wprowadzają również koncepcje uniwersytetu XXI wieku, tzw. uczelni brokeringowej – jako nowej nieistniejącej jeszcze formy, która wyłoni się na styku zastosowania m-learningu, open-source learningu oraz MOOCs (ang. massive online open-courses), czyli masowych otwartych kursów internetowych.
