Joint satellite platform and constellation sizing for instantaneous beam-hopping in 5G/6G Non-Terrestrial Networks

Existing research on resource allocation in satellite networks incorporating beam-hopping (BH) focuses predominantly on the performance analysis of diverse algorithms and techniques. However, studies evaluating the architectural and economic impacts of implemented BH-based technical solutions have not yet been addressed. Aiming to close this gap, this contribution quantifies the impact of BH and orbital parameters on the satellite platform and constellation size, considering specific traffic demand and service time indicators. The paper proposes a low complexity, instantaneous demand-based BH resource allocation technique, and presents a comprehensive analysis of LEO and VLEO scenarios using small platforms, lying on 5G/6G Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) specifications. Given a joint set of traffic demand and time-to-serve indicators, and based on a feasible multibeam on-board antenna architecture, the paper compares the RF transmit power requirements in fixed and variable grid LEO schemes, and in VLEO with different minimum elevation angles, to assess the feasibility of these orbits. For a fixed minimum elevation and number of users, the RF transmit power and satellite platform requirements are significantly reduced when transitioning into lower altitudes with narrower satellite coverage areas. The relevant trade-off between the satellite platform and the size of the constellation required for global coverage is presented, to fulfill a set of traffic demand and time to serve indicators: approximately, 1156 3U satellites are required for VLEO constellation and 182 12U satellites for LEO. Once platform and constellation sizing trade-off is quantified, the paper estimates the economic costs for each of the deployments, showing a total cost of almost the double for the presented VLEO constellation compared to the LEO one. The article aims to provide system engineers and satellite operators with crucial information for satellite system design, dimensioning and cost assessment.

Method of Collaboration between Humans and Generative Artificial Intelligence in the Development of Information Systems

We propose a method for information system (IS) design with a focus on the applicability of intelligent chatbots. An analysis of existing chatbots shows that current solutions do not have the ability to formulate IS requirements during designing without human intervention. The study proposes to integrate ChatGPT (GPT4 model) as a chatbot to solve the problem of writing requirements elicitation for IS. The proposed method for solving the problem is based on a gradual reduction in entropy of chatbot response, which can be achieved by controlling such basic query parameters as the form, depth and breadth of the prompt. Based on the proposed method, an algorithm for controling prompts during a dialogue with a chatbot was developed, regulating the form, depth and breadth of the question to obtain the required level of content in the answer. The following results were obtained during the study: a method for obtaining new knowledge based on entropy of chatbot response reduction; algorithm for prompts control; the second phase of IS development is automated (including identification of business requirements and system objectives; analysis of existing solutions and technologies; determination of functional requirements and system capabilities; development of system architecture, including service definition and interaction; creation of interfaces for service interaction; establishment of a data model and database and formulation of business process logic). The method was tested to design an IS to support strategic decision making in the forestry industry. The design results received a positive assessment from experts. Analysis of the obtained results revealed the advantages and limitations of using chatbots as co-pilots in the design of IS and outlined directions for future research.

Sistem Informasi Perpustakaan Berbasis Client Server di SMK Bintara Rancaekek

SMK Bintara Rancaekek still has an educational support system that has not been computerized, one of which is library management. The process of managing library data is handled by one officer, starting from searching for book data, recording loan transactions, return transactions, calculating fines, and generating reports, all of which are still done manually or have not been computerized. As a result, several issues arise, including difficulties in managing borrowing and returning data, time-consuming recapping, and the risk of recording errors and data loss. The purpose of this research is to assist officers in managing book data, visits, borrowing and returning transactions, as well as minimizing data loss and recording errors, simplifying the calculation of fines, and generating reports quickly. The method used in this research is the Rational Unified Process (RUP). The design uses analysis tools such as flowmaps, Data Flow Diagrams (DFD), Entity Relationship Diagrams (ERD), Data Dictionaries, and Structure Charts. The design and development of this library information system are expected to address the aforementioned problems and provide ease of operational work, especially in managing the borrowing and returning of library books.

Optimizing plant species composition of green roofs for ecological functionality and biodiversity conservation

Green roofs provide vital functions within the urban ecosystem, from supporting biodiversity, to sustainable climate-positive ESS provisioning. However, how plant communities should best be designed to reach these objectives, and how specific green roof systems vary in their capacity to support these functions is not well understood. Here we compiled data on plant traits and plant–insect interaction networks of a regional calcareous grassland species pool to explore how designed plant communities could be optimised to contribute to ecological functionality for predefined green roof solutions. Five distinct systems with practical functionality and physical constraints were designed, plant communities modelled using object-based optimization algorithms and evaluated using five ecological functionality metrics (incl. phylogenetic and structural diversity). Our system plant communities supported a range of plant–insect interactions on green roofs, but not all species were equally beneficial, resulting in wide-ranging essentiality and redundancy in ecological processes. Floral traits were not predictive of pollinator preferences, but phylogeny was observed to govern the preferences. Large differences in ecological functionality can be expected between green roofs depending on system design and the extent of the plant community composition. Multifunctionality covariance diverged between systems, suggesting that ecological functionality is not inherently universal but dependent on structural limitations and species pool interactions. We conclude that informed system design has a potential to simultaneously support ecosystem services and urban biodiversity conservation by optimising green roof plant communities to provide landscape resources for pollinating insects and herbivores.

Implementing Honeypots for Detecting Cyber Threats with AWS using the ELK

The growing need to use cloud computing to design information systems that are accessible 24/7 opens up a great opportunity for potential attacks by malicious actors. Every day, we see a large number of cyberattacks in all aspects of life. One of the methods of solving the problem of countering hackers is to protect the server using a honeypot. The proliferation of multi-level honeypots characterizes one of the methods of detecting and preventing the actions of criminals by generating a fake server to redirect hacker attacks. In our work, we propose to use honeypots as an element of IT infrastructure intelligence to identify vulnerabilities and study patterns of potential attacks. To achieve this goal, we deployed honeypots in five different regions of the AWS cloud provider. The data obtained was analyzed using ELK Stack (elasticsearch, logstash, kibana). The integration of honeypot and ELK Stack demonstrates an effective solution for detecting potential attacks by providing a detailed visualization of the behavior of attackers.

Antipatterns in Database Design

The purpose of the study is to adapt the antipattern method to improve the effectiveness of teaching students in the fields of “Applied Informatics”, “Information Systems and Technologies”, “Software Engineering” to the principles and techniques of relational database design within the framework of relevant disciplines and practices. Training in database design is an important component of the formation of a specialist software developer. The totality of decisions taken in the design process should be based on generally accepted rules, principles and recommendations, as well as on the existing experience in creating and operating information systems, which is difficult to reproduce in the conditions of the university audience.Materials and methods. An approach focused on the concept of antipatterns – unsuccessful common design solutions will allow increasing the effectiveness of students’ training in database design. The antipattern concept has become widespread following the wide spread use of the concept of a pattern, that is, a common standard solution inscribed in the context of the problem being solved. Both the concept of a pattern and the concept of an antipattern were initially focused on object-oriented software, but later gained recognition in all areas of information technology. The paper proposes a scheme for describing the antipattern, includ ing the name, a brief description, possible causes of occurrence, a list of disadvantages of application in the construction of relational databases, a conceptual model in the form of an ER-diagram (entity-relationship diagram), an example of the appropriate database structure, ways to avoid antipatterns, as well as possible exceptions when using just such a design decision when creating a database may be justified.Research results. Based on educational, scientific and technical literature and periodicals, as well as on the basis of an analysis of the existing practice of designing information systems, a catalog of common antipatterns for designing relational databases has been compiled and described. Examples of antipatterns: “Jumble of names”, “Duplicate tables”, “False abstraction”, “Non-atomic attributes”, “Duplicate columns”, “Changing data in due course (temporaryfields)”, “Parallel connections”, ““Divine” table”, “Speculative metadata modification”, etc. At the same time, some of the patterns made it possible to illustrate the general principles of relational database design, for example, such as “No sophisticated programming is capable of correcting fatal architectural flaws”. It is shown that the existing unsuccessful solutions are often due to certain prerequisites, for example, the need to perform a hotfix that is, a “temporary” solution, or a premature attempt to improve system performance, or the desire to get some report with one request, avoiding unnecessary connections, etc. In addition to the technical aspects, the relevance of a correct and uniform naming system is shown, the absence of which makes it difficult to maintain and develop the system and leads to unnecessary costs. The proposed approach was tested when teaching students the disciplines “Databases”, “Database design”, “Architecture of information systems”. The students who completed the training improved their understanding of the principles and practices of database structure design. Conclusion. The use of the proposed catalog of antipatterns in the educational process of the university makes it possible to accelerate the training of young specialists in the techniques of designing the structure of relational databases, avoid common mistakes when creating information systems, and improve the overall design culture.

The relationship between gather tendency with families and the self-awareness of flood hazard: the case of Sumida Ward, Tokyo

ABSTRACT This study investigated the level of flood knowledge, shelter familiarity, self-awareness in different situations, and the tendency to gather with family members during flooding. Results based on 161 participants aged 8–88 years. Participants’ own age was a predictor of whether or not they would gather with their families during the evacuation. Participants’ familiarity with the shelter was associated with knowledge, and increased interest in the shelter surroundings increased knowledge, which increased self-awareness of disaster response. Including family members in evacuation planning significantly increases participants’ awareness and involvement, leading them to plan their routes carefully. In addition, the results of the study revealed information about the expectations of Sumida residents during a flood: the safety of family members was ranked as the priority, and from this, it was possible to know the methods or means of escape that should be included about family members when evacuating. Followed by information on electricity and water facilities, which is relevant to the judgment of whether or not to go to a shelter. Then, information on flooding in the home area is needed. These findings can inform the design of effective flood information systems and community preparedness programs in urban areas.

The Impact of Augmented Reality Through User-Platform Interactions Towards Continuance Intention with the Effect of User Generation

When users interact with mobile platforms in an Augmented Reality (AR) environment, cognitive and emotional engagements change through different stimuli cues that respond to users’ behavioral intentions. Although AR engages more interactions in mobile platforms, there is a significant gap in assessing UX, considering the physical distance between users and virtual products in a mobile platform. Considering the effect of user generation, the impacts of perceived engagements toward continuance intention through user-platform interactions are unexplored. This study investigated a nuanced understanding of how stimuli cues in augmented reality affect sense of immersion and sense of presence, followed by an Interaction-Engagement-Intention (I-E-I) model. A quantitative method was used to validate the proposed model. Based on an online survey with 886 responses, product fit, network quality, and Artificial Intelligence-driven Recommendation (AIR) influences were assessed for cognitive engagements. This study examined the importance of engaging satisfaction and trust as emotional engagements, influencing users’ continuance intention. The findings showed that sense of presence has a more significant influence on building trust and satisfaction. Also, trust has a more significant impact on the continuance intention to use AR mobile platforms. This study also explored the positive effects of user generation on continuance intention. This could enhance the capabilities of information system designers, researchers, marketing professionals, and solution providers to attain sustainable user retention.

Mechanics of peeling adhesives from soft substrates: A review

Abstract Understanding peeling behavior in soft materials is integral in diverse applications, from tissue engineering, wound care, and drug delivery to electronics, automotive, and aerospace equipment. These applications often require either strong, permanent adhesion or moderate, temporary adhesion for ease of removal or transfer. Soft adhesives, especially when applied on soft substrates like elastomer-coated release liners, flexible packaging films, or human skin, present unique mechanical behaviors compared to adhesives applied on rigid substrates. This difference highlights the need to understand the influence of substrate rigidity on peeling mechanics. This review delves into both energy and stress-based analyses, where a thin tape with an adhesive layer is modeled as a flexible beam. The energy analysis encompasses components like the energy associated with tape deformation, kinetic energy, and energy lost due to interfacial slippage. The stress analysis, on the other hand, zeroes in on structures with thin, deformable substrates. Substrates are categorized into two types: those undergoing smaller deformations, typical of thin soft release liners, and thicker deformable substrates experiencing significant deformations. For substrates with small deformations, the linear Euler-Bernoulli beam theory is applied to the tape in the bonded region. Conversely, for substrates experiencing significant deformations, large deflection theory is utilized. These theoretical approaches are then linked to several practical, industrially-relevant applications. The discussion provides a strategic guide to selecting the appropriate peeling theory for a system, emphasizing its utility in comprehending peeling mechanisms and informing system design. The review concludes with prospective research avenues in this domain.
