DG-ViTh: A decision guidance system for repositories of virtual things

ABSTRACT Entrepreneurs encounter significant challenges in translating their ideas into tangible or digital products. Conventional idea-to-market processes often prove inflexible, siloed, and linear, leading to missed optimisation opportunities and substantial material, energy and labour waste. To address these challenges, this paper proposes DG-ViTh, a Decision Guidance System for search, optimisation and trade-off analysis of Virtual Things, which are parameterised specifications of products, services or anything of value. Virtual things are associated with analytic performance models that express customer-facing characteristics of a ‘thing’ in terms of virtual thing’s parameters. DG-ViTh allows virtual things’ parameters be optimally instantiated and then ordered by consumers from capability providers on demand. To develop DG-ViTh, this paper provides the design and formal mathematical semantics of a repository for general virtual things, core DG-ViTh functions, and a prototype implementation demonstrating optimisation capabilities for arbitrary pluggable virtual thing specifications. DG-ViTh versatility is demonstrated using the example virtual bike, illustrating its potential for a broad range of applications.

Emerging Cyber Security and Data Privacy Threats: Challenges and Opportunities: An Analytical Overview

ABSTRACT: In the digitally emerging world where everyone has the access to internet it is very crucial to secure our data because of right to privacy. Cyber security deals with all the laws designed for the cybercrimes. Digitalization and networking provide number of benefits to us in different fields like e-commerce, banking, education, communication but due to cybercrime, a new criminal methodology also arises. Systems, important files, data, and other important virtual things are at risk if there is no security to protect it. The need of the hour is to make people aware of the laws that already have been made and to amend the laws according to the development of technology. The objective of this paper is to spread awareness about the laws and the precautions which we can take to secure our precious data and belongings. With the advent of various types of technology and availability of such technology at lesser cost, every human being around the world has fallen trap to use technology in day-to-day life. From ordering food online to shopping clothes, books and other necessary items to booking tickets, appointments with doctors etc., to digital payments, every aspect of one’s life has become dependent on technology. To put it in simple words, life has become dependent on two essential things – (i) smart phone; and (ii) internet access. However, it is important to note that the success of such technology is inter-alia dependent on the availability of data/information that it collects and/or collected for it. Thereby, data has definitely become the ‘new oil’ since availability of data, processing it and utilizing it in formulating a perfect algorithm for technology has become very expensive for companies providing digital services. Cyber security is a set of strategies, techniques, and controls to reduce risk and ensure that your data assets are protected. If data privacy is about control, then cyber security has the means to add, some, but not all, of the aspects of that control. Cyber security is at the heart of the discipline of data protection.

Virtual property from the position of the digital intellectual economy: theoretical foundations of digital law

The article examines the formation of a humandigitalenvironment as a society using digital technologies. It is studied from the standpoint of a real and virtual or material and relatively abstract environment where therights to intellectual property objects dominate as a digital right of a person when using digital tools that enable the use of various digital technologies, as well as fundamental digital rights that require a new understanding. It is noted that the right of virtual property should be distinguished from the right of intellectual property and defined as a specific type of property right. The virtualization of intellectual property is considered as a process of transition from digital intellectual property to digital virtual intellectual property with the corresponding signs of the development or creation of new objects that have an economic value equivalent to material things. In the conditions of digital individualization, the main feature of property rights is the domination of a person over a virtual thing. Virtual space allows the owner of virtual objects to own, use and dispose of them. On the basis of the virtualization of property in the system of using technological platforms, a human-digital system is formed using the latest digital technologies and digital communication with the observance of digital law. Amore complex phenomenon is considered in which virtual owner(s) or implicit owner(s) appear, relying on artificial intelligence. In this regard, the rights are dissolved in a system of transformed computer programs and digital technologies which is gainingpace of development of the digital human rights to digital objects or instruments of virtual property. They are replaced by a virtual or conditional author, a digital administrator as a digital person or a subject of digital legal relations where the value of the real right is lost as the domination of a person over a virtual thing, and only commercial economic dominates an interest that may take the form of a monopoly in the market of digital services. Virtual property is becoming the main legal construct in the system of the digital economy of intellectual property, where there are distinctive features of virtual intellectual property rights in relation to real intellectual property rights.

So that this learning application can be said to have good usability and can be used as a supporting medium for learning English vocabulary for children aged 6-12 years independently.

VIRTUAL ASSETS - KNOWLEDGE OF THE ESSENCE, ACCOUNTING, ANALYTICAL EVALUATION

The purpose of the article is to learn the essence of virtual assets, their accounting display and analytical evaluation of operations with them, the variety of which depends on the functions they perform and the defined purposes of their use. A virtual asset exists in digital form. The ability of these assets to circulate means the possibility of their transfer or transfer in the same form. In addition to purely technological restrictions on the circulation of virtual assets, there must be legal restrictions aimed at regulating public legal relations regarding such virtual assets, both from the standpoint of public and private law. The law of Ukraine provides that they, as intangible assets, can perform the following basic functions: be the object of civil rights, have value and be expressed as a set of data in electronic form, and business entities determine, within the limits of these functions, the purposes of their use, which are the subject of accounting display and analytical evaluation of operations related to their circulation. In virtual currency, the nature of modern money can be observed - it is not material, but absolutely conditional, based on the accounting mechanism of settlement obligations recognized by all participants. It is noted that the transition from the term "currency" to the term "asset" is associated with technological evolution and the use of virtual assets for the purpose of attracting investments. property/non-property rights to possession, disposal and their use. Virtual assets and related services have the potential to drive financial innovation and efficiency, but their distinctive features also create new opportunities for corrupt individuals, financial terrorists and other criminals to launder their proceeds or finance their illegal activities. The possibility of using virtual things is expressed in the use of its useful properties. Virtual assets have many potential advantages, but require a systematic approach to regulating and monitoring their circulation. In modern economic conditions, attention has been paid to virtual assets, which are becoming an indicator of economic growth, capable of providing a business entity with significant economic benefits and at the same time may expose it to risks associated with investing in them, which may negatively affect the expected financial result. The specificity of the activity of the agricultural sector requires a comprehensive study of accounting and analytical support for the management of virtual assets as a tool for financing their activities. Natural questions arise regarding the understanding of the economic essence of virtual assets, their characteristics, classification, assessment for their accounting and analytical display, the solution of which will create the basis for the formation of complete and reliable information for making management decisions at the tactical and strategic levels. Therefore, the accounting of virtual assets acquires great importance, as it acts as a source of the formation of high-quality information support for making effective management decisions

Data Management Issues and Study on Heterogeneous Data Storage in the Internet of Things

The Internet of Things is a networking standard that connects various hardware, including digital, physical, and virtual things that may communicate with one another and carry out user-requested tasks. Traditional database management methods cannot be used in this entity because of the variety, large volume and heterogeneous data generated by them. The rapid growth of heterogeneous data can only be managed by distributed and parallel computer systems and databases. When it comes to handling vast amount of diverse data, most relational databases have a variety of drawbacks because they were designed for a certain format. One of the most difficulties in data management is investigating such heterogeneous data. Consequently, IoT data management system design has to be considered with some distinct principles. These various guiding concepts enable the suggestion of various IoT data management system strategies. The solution should provide a unified format for the conversion of various heterogeneous data which are generated by the sensors. The integration of generated data is made simple by some middleware or architecture-oriented solutions. Other methods also offer effective storage of the unified data generated. This paper surveys the challenges of IoT Data management and provides a survey about the storage of heterogeneous data and the type of data used.

A Novel Study on Design and Implementation of a Cyber Physical Industrial Control System by Using Cyber Security Techniques

Because of late expansion in arrangement of Cyber-Physical Industrial Control Systems in various basic frameworks, tending to network protection difficulties of these frameworks is essential for guaranteeing their dependability and secure activity in presence of malignant digital assaults. In the ongoing scene that is controlled by innovation and organization associations, it is vital to know what digital protection is furthermore, to have the option to really utilize it. Frameworks, significant documents, information, and other significant virtual things are in danger on the off chance that there is no security to safeguard it. Securing the data have become perhaps of the greatest test in the current day. Whenever we ponder the network protection the primary thing that rings a bell is 'digital violations' which are expanding monstrously step by step. Different Governments and organizations are going to numerous lengths to forestall these digital wrongdoings. Other than different measures digital protection is as yet an extremely large worry to a large number. Towards this end, fostering a testbed to produce ongoing informational indexes for basic foundation that would be used for approval of constant assault recognition calculations are without a doubt profoundly required. This paper investigates and proposes the design and implementation of a cyber-physical industrial control system testbed where the Tennessee Eastman process is simulated in real-time on a PC and the closed-loop controllers are implemented on the Siemens PLCs. Misleading information infusion digital assaults are infused to the created testbed through the man-in-the-center construction where the vindictive programmers can continuously adjust the sensor estimations that are shipped off the PLCs. Moreover, different digital assault location calculations are created and executed continuously on the testbed and their exhibition and capacities are looked at and assessed.

Property as the law of virtual things

Property law in the twentieth century moved from the law of things to the law of rights in things. This was a process of fragmentation: Under Hohfeldian property, we conceive of property as a bundle of sticks, and those sticks can be moved to different holders; the right to possess can be separated from the record ownership right, for example. The downside of Hohfeld's model is that physical objects—things—become informationally complicated. Thing-ness constrains the extravagances of Hohfeldian property: although we can split off the right to possess from the right to exclude, use, destroy, copy, manage, repair, and so on, there is a gravitational pull to tie these sticks back into a useful bundle centered on the asset, the thing. Correspondingly, there has been an “informational turn” to property law, looking at the ways in which property law serves to limit property forms to reduce search costs, and to identify and celebrate the informational characteristics of thing-ness. The question of thing-ness came to a head in the context of digital and smart assets with the formation of non-fungible tokens. NFTs were attempts to generate and sell “things,” a conceptually coherent something that can contain a loose bundle of rights. The project was an attempt to re-create thing-ness by an amalgam of cryptography, game theory, and intellectual property. This essay discusses thing-ness in the context of digital assets, how simulated thing-ness differs from physical thing-ness, and the problems that arise from attempts to reify digital assets.

The Internet of Things as a Promising Channel of Advertising Communication

The study explored the future of the advertising industry. In particular, the possibility of a new advertising communication channel associated with the development of Internet of Things technologies is being considered. In his reasoning, the author started from the fact that at present, along with the omnipresence of the Internet, there is a rapid growth of the Internet of Things segment. The further development of the Internet of Things is largely due to the quantitative and qualitative improvement of its physical infrastructure. "Smart" things connected in networks capture and analyze data, exchange information, and take over part of the communications familiar to humans. As a result, new social practices are emerging, including those related to the involvement of connected things in the human decision-making process. A favorable scenario assumes the appearance in the future of many "smart" technologies that will make things even smarter, give them the opportunity to perform a variety of functions and services in the interests of a person. With their help, the interaction of things with things, things with a person can lead to the emergence of completely new forms of interaction that do not fit into the standard framework of ideas about communication. Based upon the analysis, the author concluded that "smart" structures, which, due to the presence of specific technological and communication parameters, can become a fundamentally new channel of advertising communication and even transform the entire advertising industry. The study examined the features of the model of advertising communication based on the Internet of Things, in which connected physical and virtual things can act as both subjects and objects of advertising communication. The study identified technical solutions that will allow to create the basis for the functioning of advertising communications based upon the Internet of Things. The methods that can accelerate the implementation of the idea of using the Internet of Things as an advertising communication channel were described.

DIGITAL RESOURCES IN FINANCIAL EDUCATION: PREMISES FOR IMPLEMENTATION IN PRIMARY EDUCATION

The digital resources available online provide quality teaching material so that students become familiar in a pleasant, simple, fun and playful way at the same time with elements of economic culture, so that they can easily enter the exciting world of money. From asking for money to making money is a distance that can be covered if certain basic, elementary information is acquired, which leads to certain financial skills that result in certain financial behaviors necessary in the attitude of tomorrow’s adult – today’s student. As the online environment is very accessible to most people, we consider that spending time in virtual learning new things, assimilating some notions in the financial field is a method available to anyone to inform themselves so as to avoid financially unpleasant situations in time, such as “loans”, “card overdrafts”, “mortgages”, “guarantees”, etc., especially when these are not necessarily necessary. The proposed study describes the current situation of the subject taught in the traditional school, analyzes the financial skills of students in contrast to the financial skills of students who do not study this subject. The research problem is related to the inability of students to intelligently manage a sum of money due to poor and insufficient training in the use of useful digital resources that can train their early financial skills.

Mixed Reality-based chemical reactor visualization

A multi-tubular reactor for butadiene synthesis was developed, visualized using Microsoft HoloLens2, and built to allow immersive human interaction. Fluid analysis is particularly important in reactor design, including heat generation, temperature distribution, and mole fraction of reactants and products. Flow analysis is mostly executed with CFD tools like Open FOAM and ANSYS Fluent. Post processing software visualizes the CFD findings. However, the post-processing software is focused on the engineer, which lacks user-friendliness for the user who actually builds the reactor [Matthias Berger and Verina Cristie, 2015]. Contemporary technologies like virtual reality and mixed reality were applied to improve this. Virtual reality is a technique that creates a virtual world in a three-dimensional digital environment that blocks out the actual world. Furthermore, mixed reality technology interacts with virtual things made in the real world, minimizing heterogeneity and creating a smart environment where reality and virtuality are united by maximizing immersion. So, using Unity 3D, a gaming engine, a multi-tube reactor was created in virtual reality. Menus, selection windows, and buttons are also implemented in C# to facilitate interaction. This VR was then deployed to Microsoft HoloLens2 via Visual Studio. The HoloLens2 is an un tethered wearable holographic computer that offers bidirectional video, speech, and MR composite communication [Guy Martin et al., 2019]. An integrated mixed reality system was finally created that instantly reflected mutual conversation. This approach can also be employed in distillation towers, heat exchangers, separators, pumps and other process equipment performance monitoring. Smart manufacturing and a digital twin termed future plant can be accomplished by observing the actual process and implementing an autonomous data interaction system.

Digital Design of Smart Museum Based on Artificial Intelligence

Today, as the soft power of culture is becoming more and more important, it is very important to pay attention to the learning and dissemination of culture. As the carrier of this process, the use of advanced technology to improve the museum is of great significance. This paper studies the digital design of smart museum based on artificial intelligence in order to explore the application of smart museum in artificial intelligence, analyze the spatial design of smart museum by using digital technology, explore a feasible method to give full play to the function of smart museum, and put forward some suggestions on the spatial design of smart museum. The design of the smart museum is no longer restricted by time and space and uses digital technology to double use virtual things and dynamic space. Through the detailed analysis of the application of artificial intelligence and digitization in the spatial design of the smart museum, combined with the information decision tree algorithm and data heterogeneous network algorithm, this study constructs the model of the information processing architecture of smart museum and the requirements of digital museum and makes a decision-making analysis of the comparison results of existing data. It includes the digital design of smart museum display technology, display effect, and other display-related contents. Analyzing the impact of smart museum on the object can provide data support for the feasibility of digital space design of smart museum based on artificial intelligence. The results of regression data processing show that the spatial visual sense of digital design wisdom museum is very strong, reaching the level of 5.0, and the picture aesthetic effect is up to 4.8.

VirIoT: A Cloud of Things That Offers IoT Infrastructures as a Service.

Many cloud providers offer IoT services that simplify the collection and processing of IoT information. However, the IoT infrastructure composed of sensors and actuators that produces this information remains outside the cloud; therefore, application developers must install, connect and manage the cloud. This requirement can be a market barrier, especially for small/medium software companies that cannot afford the infrastructural costs associated with it and would only prefer to focus on IoT application developments. Motivated by the wish to eliminate this barrier, this paper proposes a Cloud of Things platform, called VirIoT, which fully brings the Infrastructure as a service model typical of cloud computing to the world of Internet of Things. VirIoT provides users with virtual IoT infrastructures (Virtual Silos) composed of virtual things, with which users can interact through dedicated and standardized broker servers in which the technology can be chosen among those offered by the platform, such as oneM2M, NGSI and NGSI-LD. VirIoT allows developers to focus their efforts exclusively on IoT applications without worrying about infrastructure management and allows cloud providers to expand their IoT services portfolio. VirIoT uses external things and cloud/edge computing resources to deliver the IoT virtualization services. Its open-source architecture is microservice-based and runs on top of a distributed Kubernetes platform with nodes in central and edge data centers. The architecture is scalable, efficient and able to support the continuous integration of heterogeneous things and IoT standards, taking care of interoperability issues. Using a VirIoT deployment spanning data centers in Europe and Japan, we conducted a performance evaluation with a two-fold objective: showing the efficiency and scalability of the architecture; and leveraging VirIoT’s ability to integrate different IoT standards in order to make a fair comparison of some open-source IoT Broker implementations, namely Mobius for oneM2M, Orion for NGSIv2, Orion-LD and Scorpio for NGSI-LD.
