Download or read book The Most Recent Developments in Container Technologies and Their Impact on Ports written by Themistoklis Manginas and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper encapsulates the most recent developments in container technologies and evaluates their impact on ports, under the premise of development as innovation. Initially, comprehension of the standard operational procedure of the container terminal is attempted, followed by a categorization of the terminals components into tangible and intangible ones. The former include layout and equipment (quay cranes, horizontal transportation, stacking area), while the latter comprise of Terminal Operating Systems (TOS), aiming at optimization of ship planning, transportation and stacking planning. Regarding developments in containerships levels, they are concentrated on size evolution (mega containerships). However, they encounter berth and depth capacity challenges. In terms of vessels virtual improvements, available stowage planning software solutions are evaluated. Trolleys and spreaders are the most technologically advanced parts of Ship-To-Shore (STS) gantry cranes. The latter are classified, using as benchmark the Panama Canal. Mega cranes are the most innovative STS crane models. Mentioning quay cranes intangible improvements, both Berth Allocation Problem (BAP) and Crane Allocation Problem (CAP) optimization are still in experimental stage. In practice, only Port Singapore Authority (PSA) has been able to use BAP optimization software. In terms of horizontal transportation, many developments (capacity, flexibility, structure, formation) have applied to Shuttle and Straddle Carriers (SCs), Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and Multi-Trailer Systems (MTSs). Quayside and landside transport optimization aims to minimize delays and empty runs. TOS applications, involving those objectives, aim to optimize routing, scheduling and dispatching. Finally, the most common type of stacking equipment is the reach stacker, which is ideal for medium-scale terminals, while Rubber Tired Gantry (RTG) and Rail Mounted Gantry (RMG) cranes are the most space-efficient stacking systems, well suited for large-scale terminals. The competitive advantage of Automated Stacking Cranes (ASCs) is their unique feature of rigidity. Furthermore, plenty of Yard Management Systems (YMSs) are commercially available to consolidate terminals storage and horizontal transportation equipment. This study gives an overview of the future port sector structure and describes the future types of equipment. It also underlines the equal importance of physical and virtual developments. Getting through the topic, we also observe the high level of concentration in the market of port equipment manufacturers.

Book excerpt: This book offers a collection of high-quality, peer-reviewed research papers presented at the International Conference on Intelligent Computing, Communication and Devices (ICCD 2017), discussing all dimensions of intelligent sciences – intelligent computing, intelligent communication, and intelligent devices. Intelligent computing addresses areas such as intelligent and distributed computing, intelligent grid and cloud computing, internet of things, soft computing and engineering applications, data mining and knowledge discovery, semantic and web technology, hybrid systems, agent computing, bioinformatics, and recommendation systems. Intelligent communication is concerned with communication and network technologies, such as mobile broadband and all optical networks that are the key to groundbreaking inventions of intelligent communication technologies. It includes communication hardware, software and networked intelligence, mobile technologies, machine-to-machine communication networks, speech and natural language processing, routing techniques and network analytics, wireless ad hoc and sensor networks, communications and information security, signal, image and video processing, network management, and traffic engineering. Lastly, intelligent devices are any equipment, instruments, or machines that have their own computing capability. As computing technology becomes more advanced and less expensive, it can be incorporated an increasing number of devices of all kinds. This area covers such as embedded systems, radiofrequency identification (RFID), radiofrequency microelectromechanical system (RF MEMS), very-large-scale integration (VLSI) design and electronic devices, analog and mixed-signal integrated circuit (IC) design and testing, microelectromechanical system (MEMS) and microsystems, solar cells and photonics, nanodevices, single electron and spintronics devices, space electronics, and intelligent robotics.
Download or read book Recent Trends in Blockchain for Information Systems Security and Privacy written by Amit Kumar Tyagi and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-11-23 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blockchain technology is an emerging distributed, decentralized architecture and computing paradigm, which has accelerated the development and application of cloud, fog and edge computing; artificial intelligence; cyber physical systems; social networking; crowdsourcing and crowdsensing; 5g; trust management and finance; and other many useful sectors. Nowadays, the primary blockchain technology uses are in information systems to keep information secure and private. However, many threats and vulnerabilities are facing blockchain in the past decade such 51% attacks, double spending attacks, etc. The popularity and rapid development of blockchain brings many technical and regulatory challenges for research and academic communities. The main goal of this book is to encourage both researchers and practitioners of Blockchain technology to share and exchange their experiences and recent studies between academia and industry. The reader will be provided with the most up-to-date knowledge of blockchain in mainstream areas of security and privacy in the decentralized domain, which is timely and essential (this is due to the fact that the distributed and p2p applications are increasing day-by-day, and the attackers adopt new mechanisms to threaten the security and privacy of the users in those environments). This book provides a detailed explanation of security and privacy with respect to blockchain for information systems, and will be an essential resource for students, researchers and scientists studying blockchain uses in information systems and those wanting to explore the current state of play.
