International Smart Cities Conference (ISC2), Wuxi, China, 14 Sep - 17 Sep 2017 AbstractAn increasing number of people use smartphoneapplications to plan their trips. Unfortunately, for variousreasons, bus trips suggested by such applications are not asreliable as other trip types (e.g. by car, on foot, or by bicycle),which can result in excessive waiting time, or even the needto revise a planned trip. Traditional punctuality-based busservice reliability metrics do not capture route deviations, whichare especially frequent in rapid changing urban environmentsdue to rapidly changing road conditions caused by trafficcongestion, road maintenance, etc. The prevalence of GPS dataallows buses to be tracked and route deviations to be captured.We use such data to propose and calculate a novel reliabilityscore for bus trips. This score is a linear weighted combinationof distance, time, and speed deviations from an expected, predefinedbus trip. GPS trajectory data is large and noisy whichmakes it challenging to process. This paper also presents anefficient framework that can de-noise and semantically splitraw GPS data by pre-defined bus trips in citywide. Finally,the paper presents a comparative case study that applies theproposed reliability score to publicly available open bus datafrom Rio de Janeiro in Brazil and Dublin in Ireland.

The purpose of this work is to record and document the development cycle of an entrepreneur focusing specifically on the point of start up of the entrepreneurs business through to a key juncture when the entrepreneur sells a portion of his business. The work then examines the Klofsten Business Platform Model, a model that might be described as a self diagnostic tool for new start up ventures by entrepreneurs. The entrepreneur then analyses his business development in light of Klofstens’ Model and comments on how he feels his real life experience fits into the proposed model. After a period of reflection he then offers suggestions that he fells can supplement the model, based on his actual experiences.

Front and back covers and pages from The Magazine of Magazines bound collection. In 1751, Limerick printer Andrew Welsh began printing an edition of the London based The Magazine of Magazines. Welsh, having learnt his trade from his father in Cork, began printing the Magazine, based in a building called ???The Exchange??? on Nicholas Street, Englishtown, near the cathedral in Limerick. The Limerick publication started life as a direct, almost page for page, reprint of the London edition, printed by William Owen. The publication was a major undertaking for Welsh in Limerick. Welsh claims to have bought an entirely new set of type dedicated to printing the magazine, and the Limerick edition (like many other Irish re-prints of English works) is of better quality than its London counterpart. The Limerick edition was not simply aimed at the immediate urban public; there are three named retailers in Cork as well as one in Dublin. The Magazine, which was published for the best part of two decades, from 1751 to 1769, is a miscellany comprising of extracts from numerous eighteenth century periodicals and journals and covers subjects as diverse as Science, Philosophy, Medicine, Meteorology, Religion, Mythology and Literature to name but a few. It was the first periodical publication to feature Thomas Gray???s famous Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard, in 1751, and published essays and excerpts from towering intellectual figures of the day such as Dr Johnson and Voltaire.

Until recently, European elites firmly rejected the need for any coordination in the field of wage bargaining, because the market would automatically lead to the desired (downward) convergence of wages across Europe. In 2011, however, Commission President Barroso announced 'a silent revolution' (EUobserver, 16.03.2011) that led to the adoption of the 'six-pack' on European economic governance by the European Parliament and the Council. As a result, the Commission not only obtained effective tools in order to control member states' budgets and economic policies, but also the right to issue enforceable maximum national labour cost increase benchmarks.

The system of direct provision in Ireland has been in existence for twenty years, providing those seeking protection communal accommodation, meals, or less often cooking facilities, and a small weekly payment of €38.80 per adult per week. Generally no access to other social welfare supports, education provided as right to children, and health needs met through the medical card system. Only since 2018 has there been a limited right to work for persons in the protection system. There are over 7,000 people in direct provision accommodation centres or in emergency hotel accommodation awaiting a determination as to whether they qualify for protection in Ireland. Direct provision, first proposed in 1998, was to be for a maximum period of six months, whereby claims for protection made by those seeking protection in Ireland would be decided upon. Yet, the system was never for just six months, more often than not, at least until 2017, many would be more likely to spend six years in direct provision. Unlike previous Government sponsored reform initiatives on this system the Day Report is clear: direct provision must end. University College Dublin

Paper presented at the ACM 25th Symposium On Applied Computing (SAC’10), March 22-26, 2010, Sierre, Switzerland With the growing availability of geo-referenced information on the Web, the problem of spatial information overload has attracted interest both in the commercial and academic world. In order to tackle this issue, personalisation techniques can be used to tailor spatial contents based upon user interests. RecoMap, the system described in this paper, deducts user interests by monitoring user interaction and context to provide personalised spatial recommendations. After an overview of existing recommendation systems within the geospatial domain, the novel approach adopted by RecoMap to produce such recommendations is described. A case study related to a university campus setting is used to outline an application of this technique. Details of the implementation and initial testing of this prototype are provided.
