The current trend in e-government requires integrated services, efficient, easy to use and designed based on the needs of the citizen. Citizens do not need to know or interact directly with the government agencies involved, which must be interoperable and allow data and information to be exchanged and processed seamlessly across government. The purpose of this study is the modeling using the European model CPSV-AP, a public voucher service where the stages of the whole process and the roles of the participants will be clearly reflected. The proposed model describes an Integrated Public Service, where government, citizens and businesses are coordinated in order to provide citizens with personalized offers using vouchers. The proposed model is a semantic representation of public services through a voucher, aiming at a better understanding of the process by those involved in its design and implementation.","PeriodicalId":217519,"journal":{"name":"2022 13th International Conference on Information, Intelligence, Systems & Applications (IISA)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127917370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Businesses in order to survive in a highly competitive market need to analyze and understand customers’ needs and behaviours. This research work addresses the problem of predicting the behavioural dynamics of the customers regarding a brand name, using time-series analytics in social media. While in the existing literature many researchers have focused on studying the individual analytics, in this work we propose a more coarse-grained approach that analyses the overall behavioural dynamics in social networks. In particular, a data mining model is being presented, which exploits users’ linguistic and emotional characteristics in social networks, in order to predict the future collective behavioural trends. The purpose of this work is to provide an efficient and automated tool, that will enable businesses to predict the relationships with their customers. Thus, businesses will be able to strengthen and reestablish their bonds with their customers, through appropriate social media marketing campaigns in a timely manner.","PeriodicalId":217519,"journal":{"name":"2022 13th International Conference on Information, Intelligence, Systems & Applications (IISA)","volume":"30 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117051242","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data and digital technologies are there to support this endeavor, yet the opportunities they offer are not still fully exploited in Europe, despite governments’ intentions to digitize public administration for smoother and more accessible administrative procedures. In parallel, digital transformation, intensified by the exceptional circumstances of the COVID-19 crisis, is both imperative and inevitable for almost every aspect of the modern world and economy. This creates both new needs and solutions for public administrations. This paper aims to identify the open needs encountered by public administrations, involving reflections on available methodologies, data, and tools towards evidence-based policy making tailored to these needs. To accomplish that, knowledge, as represented by extensive desk research, was integrated with experience as the outcome of qualitative interviews with public administration experts from different countries. Key findings are discussed in detail concluding with a public administration needs ecosystem, mapping the needs, and uncovering similarities to support the replication of practices and procedures in different policy making settings.","PeriodicalId":217519,"journal":{"name":"2022 13th International Conference on Information, Intelligence, Systems & Applications (IISA)","volume":"306 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124354045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We assume every person has a mobile device and rely on data collected from the user devices, such as Bluetooth and WiFi, to detect transmission hotspots. To estimate the number of people in a specific outdoor geographic location and their proximity to each other, we first perform consensus-based distributed clustering to group people into sub-clusters and then estimate the number of users in a cluster. Our algorithm has been configured to work for indoor settings where we consider the signal attenuation due to walls and other obstructions, which are detected by using the Canny edge detection and Hough transforms on the floor maps of the indoor space.

In this paper, we employ the use of reinforcement learning in identifying the best positions of a limited number of gamma ray radiation sensors aiming at maximizing the detection probability of a radioactive source. The research carried in this work integrates the use of radiation physics simulations using the Geant4 of a specific area within the campus of University of Texas at San Antonio. The simulated radioactivity of source that may be of potential is used as an input to the reinforcement learning algorithm to identify the best spots for placing our radiation sensors.","PeriodicalId":217519,"journal":{"name":"2022 13th International Conference on Information, Intelligence, Systems & Applications (IISA)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131341846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
