This paper presents a Fuzzy Control Model for SHM (Structural Health Monitoring) of civil infrastructure systems. Two important considerations of this model are (a) effective control of structural mechanism to prevent damage of civil infrastructure systems, and (b) energy-efficient data transmissions. Fuzzy Logic is incorporated into the model to provide (a) capability for handling imprecision ...

A mobile ad-hoc network (MANET), a set of wirelessly connected sensor nodes, is a dynamic system that executes hop-by-hop routing independently with no external help of any infrastructure. Proper selection of cluster heads can increase the life time of the Ad-hoc network by decreasing the energy consumption. Although different methods have been successfully proposed by researchers to tackle...

Road safety index is an important indicator that has been recently introduced as a useful tool to measure the quality of life in many countries and cities. Road safety index is a complex index and it has at least three main components, including road user behavior, vehicle safety, and road infrastructure effects. Many researchers have selected studying road performance from road safety index pe...

Management as a tool to assist in any activity, such the world of education, elements contained management, namely: planning, organizing, implementing, and evaluating. The existence management refers more certain fields, for example facilities infrastructure. infrastructure that regulates support school residents carry out teaching learning activities. Meanwhile, before pandemic when still exis...

The term “New Infrastructure” has been highlighted in China’s recent policies. It refers to a set of new, and expanding, policies the discourse surrounding them which support development facilities, equipment, systems derived from latest technologies, including 5G Internet Things, AI, cloud computing, data centers. This article reviews New Infrastructure policies, analyzing their specific discu...

The multi-perspective decision-making paradigm [2, 15, 9] is extended to include a dialectical process to assist in developing decision support systems in “wicked” situations with much conflict among stakeholder groups. A dialectical methodology is proposed and applied to a wicked decision problem namely, urban infrastructure management, to illustrate the model. The dialectical analysis highlig...

The present debate concerning the National Information Infrastructure (NII)[1] has focused primarily on the introduction of competitive markets for the supply and distribution of information. Although competition will be an important component of the NII, and one which we welcome, we argue that it is inappropriate to frame the debate entirely in terms of competition. Competition can be seen as ...
