Which is the best way to cheat in an exam?

By Jeff Erickson, CS professor, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign I remember this one kid who pulled the absolutely perfect scam. First, he got a copy of the book that the class was based on, since he knew from past students that the exam would cover material directly from that book. Then, every other day, starting at the very beginning of the semester, he would sneak into the room where the professor was teaching and take

Location Privacy

Beresford and Stajano define location privacy as “the ability to prevent other parties from learning one’s current or past location.” This definition specifies that the data subject—or the person whose location data is affected—should have control over the use and subsequent use of their data, which can be viewed as an extension of the previously presented definition of privacy. The device’s physical location can be determined using one of three methods: (1) satellite navigation systems

Definition of GIS

What exactly is a GIS? Clarke (2003) contends that there is no single good definition of GIS; there are many. Various industries might be influenced by existing definitions, but below is a brief one proposed for those who are interested in applying GIS to health projects: “GIS is a computer-based, dynamic mapping system with spatial data processing, querying, and sharing capabilities.” Computer-based: Clearly, GIS is a computer technology. You will be using web technologies on

Know about 4D GIS and its application area

Each kind of map conveys information about a particular place or event. They show how people and places are related. 4D GIS assembles a large volume of information in a simple manner to provide better decision making. Since big data and high data volumes are now changing the way we capture, process, and analyze information, it is essential to harness geospatial data in the simplest way to understand the dynamics of geographical phenomena. 4D GIS is

4D Geographic Information System (GIS) Market

Geographic information systems (GIS) and geospatial technology have come a long way since their launch in the 1960s. The last 20 years have witnessed tremendous growth in GIS technologies, which are no longer used just to incorporate spatial relationships but also are used to analyze and visualize space across time. 4D geographic information systems, also known as spatial-temporal GIS, have become extremely important in fields where geographic information systems are necessary for forecasting dimensions across
