Technology-enhanced learning strategies have led to innovative ICT applications for the development of new improved learning and teaching practices aiding to guarantee inclusive and equitable quality education and promote opportunities for all. Nonetheless, there is still a big challenge to get hold of all the capabilities of these technology-enhanced learning strategies: improving the learner quality of experience (QoE). This paper presents an innovative technology-enhanced learning initiative that aims to attract students to STEM education and improve access for students with disabilities through the analysis of the learner QoE. Moreover, in this paper some of the required standards and specifications to be used for developing this initiative are identified. Another key contribution of the paper is that it explores the necessity of new related standards and introduces some novel proposals for standardization in this area.","PeriodicalId":393816,"journal":{"name":"2016 ITU Kaleidoscope: ICTs for a Sustainable World (ITU WT)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132189874","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}

In this paradigm, there is a need to optimally allocate resources with a view to maximizing the utility, e.g., the total throughput, and mitigating the interference caused by sharing the same spectrum between cellular users (CUs) and D2D pairs. This paper proposes a scheme for optimally allocating transmit power levels and channels to maximize the total number of active D2D pairs and reused channels while minimizing the aggregate transmit power pertaining to CUs and D2D pairs. We consider a multi-cell scenario in which the transmitter and the receiver of each D2D pair can be in the same cell or in two different cells, and each user can simultaneously transmit over multiple reused channels. The optimization is done via a centralized baseband processing in the cloud radio access network (C-RAN) architecture. Simulations show that via our proposed scheme, more users (both cellular users and D2D pairs) can simultaneously communicate and the total system throughput is also significantly increased.","PeriodicalId":393816,"journal":{"name":"2016 ITU Kaleidoscope: ICTs for a Sustainable World (ITU WT)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115106649","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}

Goal 11 aims to \"make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable\". As such, security systems have become increasingly relevant, particularly in the past several years as significant and dangerous threats have emerged throughout the world. In addition to said risks, a number of security solutions, for example in the field of CCTV, are linked with significant privacy risks. Therefore, an appropriate certification scheme for security systems that not only considers security aspects but also additional issues, e.g. data protection and privacy, is needed in Europe. The EU Project CRISP (Evaluation and Certification Schemes for Security Products) aims to facilitate this process via the development of pan-European certification. This paper shows CRISP's solutions based on the current outcomes of the project and its specific contribution to research and practice.","PeriodicalId":393816,"journal":{"name":"2016 ITU Kaleidoscope: ICTs for a Sustainable World (ITU WT)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128122227","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}

There are plenty of tools available for experimenters ranging from simulation tools, emulation equipment, to small and large scale experimentation testbeds. Each of these performance evaluation frameworks introduces a series of capabilities and drawbacks. Additionally, there is a need for using a common methodology to perform different performance tests and to create comparable outcomes. Seeking for the standardization of reliable and comparable Internet speed measurements and trying to provide end-users with trustworthy measurement tools, different SDOs have standardized different measurement methodologies. This paper focuses on the applicability of the distinct measurement frameworks and methodologies in the field of mobile Internet, with special focus on the impact of using TCP over mobile broadband connections. The paper describes a series of experiments over different frameworks and, based on the obtained results, identifies the implications of the different types of performance tests into the evaluation outcomes and states the need for large scale measurements.","PeriodicalId":393816,"journal":{"name":"2016 ITU Kaleidoscope: ICTs for a Sustainable World (ITU WT)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116618550","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}

There is a pressing need then to ease developers and service providers in embracing the opportunity, and that means offering a platform for such efforts. This in turn means providing a solid foundational architecture with abstractions and sound layering for MCS application designs to be mapped over it. This should base on a flexible infrastructure able to provide resources to MCS applications according to their requirements, hopefully on-demand. A service-oriented/Cloud model can perfectly fill this gap. This paper is a first step in this direction, proposing to adopt Stack4Things (S4T), an OpenStack-based platform for managing sensing and IoT nodes, for runtime customization of resources and their functions to support MCS services and applications. This implies developing and extending the S4T platform further to the specific requirements coming from off-the-shelf, e.g., Android-based, mobiles, as well as describing an example S4T-powered MCS application, Pothole Detection Mapping, to highlight the role of the platform.","PeriodicalId":393816,"journal":{"name":"2016 ITU Kaleidoscope: ICTs for a Sustainable World (ITU WT)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122091688","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}

Standardization assists in achieving process automation by introducing \"best practices\" as standard process models. Policy making mainly follow non-standardized procedures, even if it is supported by various tools (i.e., Multi-Criteria Decision Methods (MCDM)). Inspired by the Task-Based Modeling method (TBM) this paper focuses on policy making process standardization for smart cities.

As a result, rehabilitation therapy is being shifted from hospital-care to home-care. Several other countries will also face the same situation in the near future. Thus, we propose a tele-rehabilitation system combined with a video call center to make up for the shortage of rehabilitation therapy done by visiting physiotherapists. A video call center operator coaches a patient instead of a physiotherapist, and a physiotherapist supervises multiple operators. The system focuses on cerebrovascular patients who have a home-visit rehabilitation or an outpatient one and uses Microsoft KINECT to measure strain of the upper body. In this paper, implementation of this system is mainly described.","PeriodicalId":393816,"journal":{"name":"2016 ITU Kaleidoscope: ICTs for a Sustainable World (ITU WT)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133759698","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 propose a deployment model for the proposed Cyber-healthcare system, and describe a patient prioritization process as part of its situation awareness component. The results obtained from an experimental prototype reveal the field readiness of the off-the-shelf bio-sensor technology used by the system, the performance achieved when using a solar powered subsystem, the relative communication capabilities provided by its protocols and the network engineering feasibility of the planned community health care network. The relative efficiency of using supervised machine learning compared to unsupervised machine learning when performing patient prioritization, is also revealed through two popular algorithms: Multivariate linear regression (MLR) and K-means clustering (KMC).","PeriodicalId":393816,"journal":{"name":"2016 ITU Kaleidoscope: ICTs for a Sustainable World (ITU WT)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120855105","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}
