This paper describes the translation mechanisms of a dialogue/conversation, specifically a phone call between two speakers who do not necessarily share the same linguistic code or the same cultural background using Information and communication technology (ICT). Its major concerns dwell on the integration, processing and translation of local languages, that is the establishment of an abstract model capable of attending to a large number of languages. The approach makes translation easier and favours the realisation of software systems in general, by integrating linguistic and cultural considerations into their development. The schema of the semantic analysis of a message, its methodology, the processing and the translation engine are well catered for. An implementation of one of the modules was successfully carried out in the translation of mini-texts in two Cameroonian languages, Yemba and Fulfulde. The end result aims to contribute to raise awareness on the introduction of teaching local languages and cultures in the official training programs in Cameroon as well as the socio-economic development of the peoples by making results of scientific discoveries available to the grassroots.

Cadastral System

The authors describe modern trends in development of the cadastral system. The main features of the procedure of cadastral registration and software systems that act as accounting and registration of automated databases are highlighted. The technological process of maintaining the unified state register of real estate is analyzed in detail. The modern system of information electronic interaction in the real estate register is designated. The role of information and communication technologies in the Russian cadastral system is shown. The authors propose a classification of online services of Rosreestr in a number of ways. The fourth group of online services is allocated as the most promising as it provides opportunities to obtain additional information at the common activity fields of different Executive authorities. The authors conclude that changes in the cadastral system of the Russian Federation are greatly influenced by global trends which in turn are aimed at expanding the functions of the cadastre as an information basis of land management.

Object-oriented programming today, is the main prototype in typical software development. Code Cloning defines generally, all through the designing and development of software systems. Detection can be based on Textual analysis, Lexical analysis, Syntax analysis, Semantic analysis, Hybrid analysis and Metric analysis. The major drawback of the present research is that it focuses more on fragments of copied code and does not focus on the aspect that the fragments of duplicated code are may be part of a larger replicated program structure. In this process, techniques take a lot of time and it creates complexity. In our research, a source code is then scanned for detecting various methods by adopting a “OPTIMIZED SVM ALGORITHM” and the method definitions are extracted and collected by means of a CLONE CODE and saved for further reference. To evaluate the performance parameters we calculate the LOC, the number of repetitions, and maximum and minimum LOC. To enhance the performance metrics precision recall, accuracy and reduce the error rate and time complexity

Threat language can be found in various local languages in Indonesia, including the Sepa language of the Indigenous peoples of Amahai, Moluccas, where the nationalization of Indonesian is a threat to its extinction. This paper aims to look at the extinction of regional languages from the framework of modernization and contestation of regional languages with national languages. This study is conducted qualitatively, data collection based on interviews, literature study, and observation obtained from Raja Sepa, community leaders, customary stakeholders. Research shows that the language in Maluku is almost extinct in line with the narrowing of regional language spaces; the language has been abandoned by its speakers because of the process of modernization and migration. This study shows the need for revitalization of the Sepa language through facilitating the mapping of the Sepa language comprehensively, making the Sepa language dictionary, and integrating the Sepa language into the local curriculum.

The evaluation of the alignment level existing between a business process and the supporting software systems is a critical concern for an organization, as the higher the alignment level is, the better the process performance is. Monitoring the alignment implies the characterization of all the items it involves and definition of measures for evaluating it. This is a complex task, and the availability of automatic tools for supporting evaluation and evolution activities may be precious. This chapter presents the ALBIS Environment (Aligning Business Processes and Information Systems), designed to support software maintenance tasks. In particular, the proposed environment allows the modeling and tracing between business and software entities and the measurement of their alignment degree. An information retrieval approach is embedded in ALBIS based on two processing phases including syntactic and semantic analysis. The usefulness of the environment is discussed through two case studies.

The rapid progress of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) continuously intensifies the interest in the two disciplines of security and privacy. This chapter introduces the most important concepts of information security, which essentially include the three major security mechanisms identification, authentication and authorization. These mechanisms are used to obtain the most important security goals, namely confidentiality, integrity, availability and non-repudiation, which are standardized by many international organisations. The next section deals with the possible attacks against distributed systems, which are mainly the Denial-of-Service (DoS) and the Sybil attack. The chapter then concludes by introducing one possible defense mechanism against such attacks, which is now publicly known as Proof-of-Work (PoW).

Processing Techniques

Citizens' participation is a form of democracy in which citizens are part of the decision-making process with regard to the development of their society. In today's emergence of Information and Communication Technologies, citizens can participate in these processes by submitting inputs through digital media such as social media platforms or dedicated websites. From these different means, a high quantity of data, of different forms (text, image, video), can be generated. This data needs to be processed in order to extract valuable data that can be used by a city's decision-makers. This paper presents natural language processing techniques to extract valuable information from comments posted by citizens. It applies the Latent Semantic Analysis on a corpus of citizens' comments to automatically identify the subjects that were raised by citizens.

Abstract. Information and communication technologies (ICT) are a set of equipment (devices, systems, etc.) and techniques with associated software (software systems and software tools) that have been developed and used for more efficient communication, creation, distribution, storage and management of information. The IDI (ICT Development Index) index is most often used to measure ICT resources, which is defined as a composite index that combines 11 indicators (classified into 3 sub-indices: Access, Use and Skills). Data on values of IDI index has been retrieved from Measuring the Information Society Report (MISR), which since 2008 has been publishing by International Telecommunications Union (ITU). The IDI index for 2017 was determined for 176 countries of the world, with the first on the ranking list was Iceland with IDI2017=8.98 and the last Eritrea with IDI2017=0.96. The mean value of IDI index for 2017 was Avg=5.11, standard deviation was StD=2.22 and coefficient of variation was CoV=43.52. In this paper is given of analysis of IDI (ICT development index) for measuring ICT resources in Georgia. The data were approximated using a 3rd degree polynomial regression model (PRM3) with a correlation coefficient R=0.9964, determination coefficient R2=0.9928 and adjustment coefficient of determination is AdjR2=0.9885.
