The role of big data analytics in personalised servicers - the case of Sri Lankan banking sector

This paper qualitatively analyses how financial institutions in Sri Lanka can use the big data to optimise their offerings to give personalised services, focusing on the technological aspects needed. Respondents were part of the bank's senior management, and they have readily involved in finance technologies. Findings revealed that personalisation is crucial for gaining a competitive advantage and acknowledging that the young techno-centric customers demand it. However, the key issues are legacy banking technology infrastructure, outdated statutory regulations that limit the deployment of advanced software tools and the organisational culture and perception when adopting new digital construction by the top management at the banks. This research is novel to the domain of big data in finance, thus serving as a pivotal contributor to knowledge and a guide to future research. Finally, suggestions to the stated difficulties and managerial implications guide the future implementation of such a technique in the banking industry.

Digital Construction of Vocal Music Teaching Resource Base Using Data Mining Technology.

Vocal music teaching resource databases can support teachers' instruction and students' learning while also enhancing the school's ability to run a school because they are the main components of digital construction for vocal music teaching. Currently, system application is the main area of research for DM (data mining), which was previously focused on method discovery. A vocal music teaching resource base based on DM technology is created by using the theme as the central organising principle, processing, and organising the resources. Incorporate lesson planning, teaching, self-study, and output resource construction into a digital network resource application environment by using thematic resource development. Students' achievement data, personal basic information, and evaluation data are used for DM based on the enhanced Apriori algorithm in order to uncover hidden rules and find correlations between various factors. This information is then used to support decision-making. When the system load is 1, the results demonstrate that the Apriori algorithm's CPU waste rate and task success rate is 0.144 and 0.896, respectively. The study's conclusion demonstrates that integrating DM technology into the field of education is theoretically and practically possible and that there is significant room for future study and application in this area.

Building the Illusion of Reality: Digital Construction and Communication of Stage Art

Since its birth, the stage art represented by theatrical performance has been far more dependent on presentation forms and dissemination media than other kinds of artistic expressions. Since the 20th century, with the rapid development of science and technology and new media, the digital construction and dissemination of stage art has gradually become a new trend in the development of performing arts. Especially in the context of the covid-19 epidemic, contemporary theatre is not only a creative space for directors and actors, but also a comprehensive creative space that integrates lighting, materials, sound effects and other elements, and the role of technology in stimulating the vitality of stage art in the post-epidemic era is increasingly prominent. In this paper, we will start from the history of digital development of stage art and combine it with actual cases, to analyse its future development trend.

Platforms - A Novel Paradigm of Construction Collaboration

Business and innovation models based on an idea of a digital platform have revolutionized information technology use in many consumer areas where uptake of IT would have otherwise been slow. Slow is also the uptake of information technology in construction. The hypothesis of this paper is that the delivery mechanism for technology has not been the most suitable one and that this can be improved upon – using the digital platforms. Term platform has been used before. In this paper we define the concept of a digital construction platform. We then analyse their potential in construction processes, focusing on construction design. The paper contributes to the understanding of an emerging new paradigm for the delivery, marketing, and innovation in digital technology in construction. Follow up work will examine the platforms from the structure-function-behaviour perspective and present their architectural foundations.

Topical issues of digitalization of the educational and legal space of the state

The analysis of actual problems related to the digitalization of legal education is carried out. At the present stage, it is impossible to imagine the educational process without the digital space and the subjects of educational activity involved in it: students, teachers, specialists in the field of information technology, etc. The use of a predominant digital approach in teaching is considered, which is based on special methods of transmitting information that allows solving a large number of diverse tasks in the shortest time intervals. It is noted that there is a consistent introduction of information technologies into the educational system of our state and educational institutions teaching jurisprudence are also included in this system. Each of them has systems with an electronic educational environment, where tasks are performed that form competencies provided for by the state standard and curriculum, computers, electronic textbooks, educational and teaching aids. The issue of improving the effectiveness of legal educational systems is raised, since it is known what efforts the introduction of digital technologies in the learning process requires. It is concluded that in order to achieve the goal, it is not enough to provide an educational institution with digital devices, connect to the Internet and develop digital service platforms. The implementation of this process requires not only the renewal of the entire educational system, pedagogical practice, but also a transition to new models of organization of work in general, including the use of the digital construction method.

Optimization of Sucker Rod Pump Operations Using Parallel Systems

With the exploitation of oil, oil pumping units are facing with the challenges such as low efficiency, increased mining difficulties and old infrastructures. The requirement of digital construction on oilfields is emerging, especially to these sucker sod pump (SRP) units built in last century. In this article, to facilitate the intelligent development of SRP systems, the concept of the parallel digital sucker rod pump systems (PDSRPS) was presented first, and their optimization framework was designed to efficiently improve the design and balance by data interactions. The real oil pump systems were integrated with their customized digital twins to establish the cyber-physical systems. The adaptive optimization on pumping processes was continuously developing with the interaction between physical pump units and their digital versions. The feasibility of the proposed framework has been demonstrated through the computational experiments on conventional beam-pumping units.

From Remote-Controlled Excavators to Digitized Construction Sites

Although the Industry 4.0 vision proposes a seamless integration of several modern concepts and technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence, or robotics, the human is still indispensable in different manufacturing activities. One area where humans are still in the center and where the ideas of Industry 4.0 have hardly been implemented is the construction industry, in particular the area of construction machinery. Progressive digitization could here (i) avoid dangerous and health-endangering situations, (ii) make work more attractive, make it easier or (partially) automate it, and (iii) create additional business areas. To meet these challenges, new concepts for human-machine interaction systems must be developed that bring the digital construction site closer and make work safer and more efficient.As a first step in this direction, this paper presents an approach for the remote control of an excavator. Besides the actual control, the focus is on which user interface components are needed for efficient and safe control. For this purpose, we present the results of a user study conducted within the framework of the Human Centered Design approach. Based on these initial findings, possible next steps and visions will be discussed to get closer to the vision of the digital construction site.

Organizing construction work: a digital and cooperative way forwards for micro-projects

ABSTRACT The Digital Construction Cooperative, or DigiConCo-Op, is a digital ‘virtual main contractor’ platform, able to support the collaboration of local micro-SMEs and SMEs (MSMEs) in the delivery of micro-projects. The design of the platform reflects and is intended to instantiate the theory and practice of cooperativism. Cooperativism is an organizational, economic and contractual model which assumes that humans work best when working together collaboratively and in contexts were they share ownership of the enterprise at hand. In Cooperatives, management responsibilities, profits and risks are fully shared between those doing the work. Following the theoretical detailing of the DigiConCo-Op platform, its fit with practice is explored through interviews with n = 25 MSMEs as to the potential benefits and challenges these future users perceived within the platform, and cooperative working generally. Findings show that there is an appetite for construction cooperatives among construction MSMEs, and for supporting digital technology, but also a concern for how responsibility and risk are shared in practice, and whether membership can be open without some form of pre-existing personal relationship.

Therefore, the construction of digital resources based on deep learning can improve students’ tennis technology and stimulate students’ interest in tennis.

Dynamic Quality Monitoring System to Assess the Quality of Asphalt Concrete Pavement

With the rapid development of new technologies, such as big data, the Internet of Things (IoT) and intelligent sensing, the traditional asphalt pavement construction quality evaluation method has been unable to meet the needs of road digital construction. At the same time, the development of such technologies enables a new management system for asphalt pavement construction. In this study, firstly, the dynamic quality monitoring system of asphalt concrete pavement is established by adopting the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System, intelligent sensing, the IoT and 5G technology. This allows key technical indicators to be collected and transmitted for the whole process of asphalt mixture, which includes the mixing plant, transport vehicle, paving and compaction. Secondly, combined with AHP and the entropy weight (EW) method, the index combination weight is calculated. The comprehensive index for the pavement digital construction quality index (PCQ) is proposed to reflect the impact of monitoring indicators on pavement quality. An expert decision-making model is formed by using the improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm coupled with radial basis function neural network (RBF). Finally, the digital monitoring index and pavement performance index are connected to establish a full-time and multi-dimensional digital construction quality evaluation model. This study is verified by a database created from the digital monitoring data of pavement construction collected from a highway construction project. The system proposed in this study can accurately reflect the quality of pavement digital construction and solve the lag problem existing in the feedback of construction site.

Research on Evolutionary Game of Collaborative Innovation in Supply Chain under Digitization Background

The development of digital technology has been rapidly pushing forward collaborative innovation in supply chain. This paper analyzes the influence mechanism of information sharing, resource integration, and trustworthiness among the enterprises in supply chain to collaborative innovation under the digitization background and builds the model of dynamic evolutionary game in which enterprises in supply chain participate collaborative innovation, and then, through the methods of model solution analysis and numerical simulation the following concrete conclusions are reached: the increase of data sharing profit coefficient, resource integration coefficient, and trustworthiness causes the increase of the probability that an enterprise selects to participate collaborative innovation in supply chain, and the increase of data sharing cost, security risk coefficient, and free rider income causes the decrease of the probability that an enterprise selects to participate collaborative innovation in supply chain; meanwhile, the increase of all the coefficients makes the velocity with which decision-making approaches to the direction toward decision higher and higher, and when the core enterprises participate the game, they can drive the common enterprises make decision more rapidly; and for the probability that an enterprise selects to participate collaborative innovation in supply chain, data sharing profit coefficient, data sharing cost coefficient, security risk coefficient, and free rider income have threshold values. These conclusions play active roles in leading enterprises to attach importance to digitization construction and actively participate collaborative innovation in supply chain.

Implementing Building Information Management (BIM) In Estonian Transport Administration

Digitalisation is the key to efficiency in the road construction Industry. Building Information Management (BIM), being the main developments in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) Industry, offers a technology as well as processes to bring traditional design and construction practices to the digital era. Estonian Road Administration started the process of BIM implementation to the Estonian road Industry in 2017, when the first planning of pilot projects began. Today, the utilisation of BIM is set as a strategic goal for Estonian Transport Administration (formerly Estonian Road Administration) and a structured approach has been developed in order to overcome such a complex shift in the ways, how road information is being managed in the whole life cycle of a road. Development of principles of data movement, setting technical guidelines and requirements, managing legal issues and communication within the organisation, as well as outside, training of personnel are all aspects that need to be taken into consideration. Successful adaption also needs good communication with the Industry, which is mainly done with Estonian Digital Construction Cluster – a collaboration which brings together the main stakeholders in the sector. In a few years time most of the main sections of the road life cycle will hopefully utilise BIM successfully in Estonia, but the key lies within a well developed and excecuted implementation. The paper describes the development of such a implementation plan and also brings out the main issues and success factors, that are relevant for a successful shift towards digitalisation in the road construction industry.
