Transitioning from Administrative to Market-Based Spectrum Management in Sri Lanka: A Critical Analysis

Purpose: In Sri Lanka, the Radio Frequency Spectrum (RF spectrum) has traditionally been overseen managed and regulated by the government regulatory body(s), mainly accommodating the administrative RF spectrum management regime. This approach entails allocating and assigning RF spectrum to licensed operators solely through administrative means, with the regulatory authority having sole control and rights over it. However, in line with global trends, in recent years, many countries have begun to transition towards market-based approaches to RF spectrum management from legacy administrative regime, aiming to improve efficiency, promote innovation, and foster competition in the telecommunications sector. Currently, the regulatory landscape in Sri Lanka is also exploring the transition towards a market-oriented spectrum management regime. In this context, this legal research article critically analyses the viability and appropriateness of the transition from administrative RF spectrum management to market-based RF spectrum management in Sri Lanka in a regulatory context, highlighting various dimensions to be considered while migrating. Design/methodology/approach: In this research paper, the authors have considered the regulatory aspects of the transition from an administrative to a marked-based approach for the RF spectrum in Sri Lanka. Hence, the authors shall be carrying out a legal research using the doctrinal research methodology, which is commonly used in legal research. This research article considers John A. Posner’s law and economic theory and John Lock’s property rights theory as the theoretical foundation. Further, this research paper uses qualitative research methodology. By using the said methodological approach, the authors analyse the current administrative RF spectrum management regime in Sri Lanka comparing it with global trends towards market-based approach and thereby evaluate the primary objectives behind the transition, the current RF spectrum framework, and the anticipated challenges that they would encounter with the transition. Findings: The analysis revels that RF spectrum management in Sri Lanka under the administrative system is restrictive and hinders innovation and competition, compared to a more liberalized market-based approach. A market-based approach, characterized by auctions, in primary markets and spectrum sharing, trading, and leasing in secondary markets identified as a potential solution to these limitations. However, the study also highlights several challenges, including the need for regulatory reform, capacity building, and the development of a robust legal framework to support the transition. Originality: This paper contributes to the existing body of knowledge by providing a detailed analysis of the potential shift in RF spectrum management practices within Sri Lanka, in the regulatory context, a subject area that has not been extensively explored in the local context. It offers a comparative perspective with international practices and provides actionable recommendations tailored to Sri Lankan conditions. Implications: The findings suggest that transitioning to a market-based RF spectrum management regime could significantly improve the efficiency and dynamism of Sri Lanka's telecommunications sector. However, careful planning and implementation are crucial to address potential challenges and ensure that the transition supports long-term goals of innovation and competition. The recommendations aim to guide policymakers in developing a framework that balances market efficiency with regulatory oversight.

Universities as knowledge incubators: Possibilities for novelty

The current Thematic Section is dedicated to possibilities of maintaining and enhancing of new knowledge production function of universities, with a focus on the social sciences. It starts from the assumption that our contemporary university administration systems have become inflexible due to their bureaucratic overgrowth of regulations of university studies. From that follows the need to create new conditions to knowledge incubators—groups of researchers united with goals of innovation in a given field. The different contributions cover the relevance for knowledge incubation improved funding possibilities, new technologies (AI), and general intellectual atmosphere in universities. This atmosphere is generated through a set of local social norm systems about inclusion <> exclusion of participants in different places on university territories, the demand structures of assignments, plagiarism tests, and organization of examinations. All these super-curricular structures enhance the fixed knowledge transfer functions of higher education in contrast to new knowledge incubation. The latter is particularly important in the social sciences since new ways of understanding human beings within societies are needed. Contributions to this Section also outline the socio-political constraints upon knowledge incubation. Paradoxically it can be the application for and success in gaining research funding that can curtail innovation in ideas in the social sciences.

Optimizing Supply Chain Efficiency using Innovative Goal Programming and Advanced Metaheuristic Techniques

This paper presents an optimization approach for supply chain management that incorporates goal programming (GP), dependent chance constraints (DCC), and the hunger games search algorithm (HGSA). The model acknowledges uncertainty by embedding uncertain parameters that promote resilience and efficiency. It focuses on minimizing costs while maximizing on-time deliveries and optimizing key decision variables such as production setups, quantities, inventory levels, and backorders. Extensive simulations and numerical results confirm the model’s effectiveness in providing robust solutions to dynamically changing supply chain problems when compared to conventional models. However, the integrated model introduces substantial computational complexity, which may pose challenges in large-scale real-world applications. Additionally, the model’s reliance on precise probabilistic and fuzzy parameters may limit its applicability in environments with insufficient or imprecise data. Despite these limitations, the proposed approach has the potential to significantly enhance supply chain resilience and efficiency, offering valuable insights for both academia and industry.

Αn integrated framework to monitor progress of sustainable urban development strategies, addressing societal, ecological and innovation dilemmas

This paper presents an integrated Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) framework, an all-encompassing approach suitable for European cities and regions aiming to monitor and evaluate the implementation and results of sustainable urban development strategies or projects related to urban planning, transport planning, or urban energy management. The framework features a co-created and co-implemented reflexive and adaptive method tailored specifically for strategies or projects that introduce innovative elements from contemporary research and innovation in science and technology, such as net-zero development, systemic solutions for cities, or integrated urban mobility and planning. The approach to designing and implementing the M&E framework was realized through a six-phase process: (i) development of the M&E framework, (ii) tailoring indicators to each region’s specificities, (iii) developing data collection questionnaires and a reporting database, (iv) collecting the data, (v) populating the database, and (vi) writing the final report. The framework was tested and enhanced with four European regional authorities over a 19-month period, enabling them to address their so-called 'policy dilemmas,' defined as the challenges they face in balancing societal and inclusivity objectives with economic and innovation goals. This framework is designed for replication in future sustainable urban development strategies or projects with similar societal, ecological, and innovation objectives.

Effect of 3D Printing on the Mechanical Properties of FDM Printed Electrical Components

The Additive manufacturing (AM) technology, also known as 3D printing, reduces production time, enhances the production process and quality, lowers costs, and achieves several other goals when producing solid, three-dimensionally created structures for the application of digital information, medical equipment, automobile, airplane, and many more. By giving the necessary instruction through a human-machine interface, the techniques used to build three-dimensional structures allow for adding material in successively thinner layers, enabling manufacturing objects in almost any shape or geometry. The polylactic acid filament was used as the feedstock to create a range of 3D-printed electrical parts. The components were created using an FDM 3D printer after being designed in Solidworks. Samples of printed materials were subjected to experimental testing to ascertain their densities, tensile strengths, flexural strengths, thermalgravimetric analyses, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) values. Heating PLA polymers change their mechanical properties. The experiment run utilizes the printed samples to compare the findings with the standard values for each parameter. The production of locally produced 3D printing feedstock and waste management are the two biggest obstacles to 3D printing in Nigeria that this innovation will overcome. This strategy, which would reduce the importation of spare parts, will benefit the industrial sector. Less equipment will need to be discarded because there will be fewer components. Thus, it may be possible to achieve sustainable development goals for infrastructure, innovation, and business.

Experimental Networks: A Missing Link in Facilitating Systemic Transitions Through Projects?

This article analyzes how firms can enable their innovation strategies through projects under various conditions. Previous research has identified an array of project-related means, such as explorative projects, project lineages, and ambidextrous programs, by which firms aim to realize their long-term innovation goals. These approaches, although powerful, are primarily focal firm-centered; address product-, platform-, and business-model levels; and tend to draw heavily on the firm’s resources and coordination efforts. However, systemic transitions are characterized by complex and unforeseen redefinitions of organizational and industrial boundaries, which require mobilization of resources by multiple actors, prompting firms to engage in time-limited experimental networks. This article introduces this concept to project studies and juxtaposes it with the key extant project-based concepts for enabling innovation by scrutinizing their definitions, intended scope of innovation, locus of attention, and coordination principles. Consequently, it draws attention to the importance of interorganizational aspects when facing a systemic transition and contributes to an emerging debate on the linkages among project studies, innovation management, and sociotechnical transitions.

An automated geometry generation procedure for CWE applications in OpenFOAM: the case study of a thunderstorm downburst moving over Genoa city

AbstractSince a decade, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations for Wind Engineering (WE) on large-scale environments became a norm. Meso-$$\gamma$$ γ scales and microscale can be characterized by a large number of structures as well as complex terrain topographies. CFD simulations over such an area would commonly imply the involvement of a time-consuming geometry preparation in the pre-processing stage. This is also the innovative goal of the present paper for which an automated geometry generation procedure for Computational Wind Engineering (CWE) applications is developed in open-source environments. This paper further expands on the unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (URANS) simulation of a thunderstorm downburst immersed in a background Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL) wind moving over Genoa city, Italy. Recommendations for geometry and grid generation of the present case study are also proposed. The study considers two simultaneous approaching wind conditions, a background ABL wind and a moving downburst (DB), the latter modeled as an impinging jet. The simulated results are compared with available full-scale LiDAR profiler data in terms of the vertical profiles of outflow velocity, showing relatively good agreement in terms of magnitude and profile shape.

Quantifying the Value of Technology and Policy Innovation in Water Resource Portfolios

AbstractRecent water infrastructure planning models demonstrate that explicitly accounting for hydrological changes in long‐term water planning reduces costs and increases system robustness. However, current models do not consider the effects of other changes occurring in the system over long time horizons, namely technology and policy innovation. By leveraging state‐of‐the‐art dynamic control techniques, we propose a suite of tools that explicitly relate hydrologic change, technology innovation, and policy interventions to system‐level water costs. We design robust and cost‐optimal strategies for water supply expansion under hydrological variability and hundreds of plausible innovation states, for example, treatment cost and diversification improvements, deployment times, and demand reduction campaigns. Our approach circumvents the need to pre‐assign probabilities to innovation scenarios and, instead, directly calculates the effects of technology, policy, and hydrology variations on system cost and planning strategies to identify avenues of impactful innovation. These tools can support technology development hubs, urban, state, and federal water planners in anticipating cost implications of technology and policy innovation at the local level, and prioritizing high‐impact innovation goals based on quantitative targets. Results for the case study of Santa Barbara, California identify high‐value innovation attributes for the city as well as combinations of innovation attributes across technologies and policies, and quantify their potential utility cost reductions.
