As the number of users increased over years, pioneering technologies and solutions in given areas ceased to be sufficient even terms performance. Therefore, there was a need for their development or redesign redefinition. One issues that undoubtedly has huge impact on current shape global network way information is processed it issue traffic balancing, especially one server infrastructure relat...

The largely computerised nature of critical infrastructures and the pervasive interconnection of systems all over the world have generated the problem of achieving resilience of critical information infrastructures, namely against computer-borne attacks and severe faults. We believe the complexity of the problem prevents it from being solved using classical security methods. The paper focuses o...

Nowadays, data storage requirements from end-users are growing, demanding more capacity, more reliability and the capability to access information from anywhere. Cloud storage services meet this demand by providing transparent and reliable storage solutions. Most of these solutions are built on distributed infrastructures that rely on data redundancy to guarantee a 100% of data availability. Un...

Spatial Data Processing and Infrastructures are the core of future remote sensing and photogrammetry for the Earth Observation industry. For this to become an operational and production reality, quantum leap breakthroughs are to be achieved, concerning in particular image processing, error correlations, alert definitions, best usage practices, data encryption and code validation. Because proble...

Land administration systems, and particularly their central cadastral components, are an important infrastructure which facilitates the implementation of land use policies. While most land administration systems traditionally have a primary objective of supporting the operation of land markets, they are increasingly evolving into a broader land information infrastructure which supports economic...

Efficient environment monitoring has become a major concern for society to guarantee sustainable development. For instance, forest fire detection and analysis is important to provide early warning systems and identify impact. In this environmental context, availability of up-to-date information is very important for reducing damages caused. Environmental applications are deployed on top of Geos...

Infrastructures, such as roads, mines, and hydroelectric dams, are proliferating explosively. Often, this has serious direct and indirect environmental impacts. We highlight nine issues that should be considered by project proponents to better evaluate and limit the environmental risks of such developments.
