This article examines recent amendments to the Intelligence Services Act 2001 (Cth) ( IS Act). The amendments provide Australian Secret Intelligence Service staff and agents with additional protection from Australian criminal prosecution when using force under certain circumstances in overseas jurisdictions. The authors assert that while well-intentioned, and despite new and existing oversight provisions, the amendments allow pre-emptive use of force that could potentially be used to justify carrying out extraterritorial killings of Australians and foreign nationals, thereby breaching the lawful boundaries of Australian Secret Intelligence Service’s functions.

Full textAbstract:
At the secret meeting of the secret services of the Eastern Bloc member states organized in Moscow in March 1955, the main tasks of each socialist secret service were outlined. The Hungarian services, in addition to the intelligence activities directed against the emigrant centers in the capitalist states, received a task to launch informational actions against the Vatican in the next decade. The present study examines the activity of Hungarian informational structures from the Kadar era at the objective level, that is, a concrete action carried out on Italian territory against a pontifical institution, which gained momentum starting from the mid-60s, by recruiting and integrating agents into the Hungarian Pontifical Institute operating in Rome. The analysis places special emphasis on the introduction of contemporary Hungarian intelligence methodology concepts.

This article deals with the role of the Russian Federation’s secret services in the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine. The author explains the facts and regularities regarding the activity of the Russian secret services in this war. The research was performed from a positivist and post-positivist perspective and takes into consideration the so-called mainstream theories. For its purposes, a system analysis was included as well as references were made to the genesis of the Russian secret services, giving consideration to the space of the post-Soviet states. In addition, an in-depth study of the activity of the Russian special services, bearing in mind the key facts and methods of their operation were conducted. It confirmed the weakness of the Russian secret services. At the same time, the aftermath of this state of affairs is the increase in the importance of military intelligence.

Full textAbstract:
Secrecy and informal organisation produce, sustain, and reinforce feelings of loyalty within intelligence and security services. This article demonstrates that loyalty is needed for cooperation between intelligence partners as well as within and between services. Under many circumstances, loyalty plays a larger role in the level of internal and external collaboration than formal work processes along hierarchical lines. These findings are empirically based on the case study of Anglo‒Dutch intelligence cooperation during World War II. By demonstrating that ‘loyalty’ critically affects the work of intelligence communities, this article contributes to current and future research that integrates history, intelligence studies, and research on emotions.

Full textAbstract:
The material scope of the research problem presented in the text encompasses the issues concerned with the possibilities for and limitations of recruiting secret collaborators by the Polish civilian intelligence service. The analysis of the problematics of secret collaboration focuses mainly on institutional and legal aspects, which can be seen in its inclusion in the systemic legal perspective, encompassing such dimensions as administrative and legal, criminal and legal, civil and legal, and ethical one. Next to the normative aspects, the text addresses sociological and psychological aspects of recruiting secret collaborators by special services, thereby depicting the main recruitment methods. The methodology adopted is chiefly based on the institutional and legal approach, in which use is made of, inter alia, textual, functional and systemic interpretations. The problem of possible abuse concerned with the recruitment of secret collaborators by special services is illustrated with an abstract case study and a relevant legal interpretation. Besides, to extend the analysis of psychological and sociological aspects of recruiting secret collaborators, the study uses limited open interviews with former officers of the civilian special services operating in Poland before 1990.

Full textAbstract:
"In the last decade a large number of public institutions, including intelligence services, make extensive use of social media to communicate with citizens. Much scholarly attention is paid to the benefits of online communication and the way governmental institutions presents themselves online. However, we know little about intelligence services and their presence on social media. This paper addresses this gap in literature and analyzes what kind of social networks European intelligence services prefer. The article is based on quantitative research of the social platforms used by the intelligence services of all 27 European Union Member States. The findings indicate that intelligence services are present in the social media environment to a different extent and the social platforms they choose to use are different. Keywords: intelligence services, social media, European Union."

Full textAbstract:
The American Revolution was a war of movement over great distances. Timely intelligence regarding the strength and location of the enemy was vital to the commanders on both sides. Washington gained his early experience in intelligence gathering in the wilderness during the French and Indian War. By the end of the American Revolution, Washington had become a skilled manager of intelligence. He sent agents behind enemy lines, recruited tory intelligence sources, questioned travelers for information, and initiated numerous espionage missions. Many heroic patriots gathered the intelligence that helped win the War for Independence. Their duties required many of them to pose as one of the enemy, and often incur the hatred of friends and neighbors. Some gave their lives in helping to establish the new American nation. It is possible that without Washington's intelligence service, American independence might not have been won.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse est consacrée à l’étude de la protection des sources de renseignement britanniques pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, en enrichissant cette analyse grâce à des éléments de comparaison avec les pratiques privilégiées aux États-Unis et en Allemagne. Dans ces trois pays, des approches très différentes sont adoptées afin de s’assurer de la durabilité des sources et de pouvoir continuer à exploiter ces données précieuses, témoignant d’appréhensions variées de l’impératif de préserver ces sources et de politiques diverses à l’égard du choix complexe entre utilisation d’un renseignement et préservation de son origine, entre exploitation à court terme et bienfaits sur une échéance plus longue dans un contexte de guerre. En s’appuyant sur de nombreux documents d’archives civils et militaires des trois pays, cette étude présente leurs attitudes divergentes et permet de faire la lumière sur les véritables performances des services de renseignement des trois pays. Il est nécessaire de s’interroger sur le bien-fondé de la réputation de secret qui semble caractériser les agences britanniques, par opposition à leurs homologues américains, et sur le véritable succès des services allemands dans un pays marqué par de profondes divisions.Cette recherche détaille la coopération équivoque entre le Royaume-Uni et les États-Unis, qui a posé quelques-uns des premiers jalons de la « special relationship », la « relation spéciale » entre les deux pays, toute d’ambiguïté. Cette association est le théâtre de l’inversion du rapport de forces des deux puissances dans ce domaine comme dans bien d’autres. De plus, l’analyse des échanges des agences britanniques avec leurs homologues français et soviétiques permet d’adopter une nouvelle perspective dans l’étude de leurs relations internationales et de ces alliances complexes aux contours fluctuantsThis thesis investigates the protection of British intelligence sources during World War Two, and includes a comparison with American and German practices. In these three countries, intelligence officers adopted very different approaches to preserve these sources and to ensure that the latter could be used in the long term. Each country had a different perception of the balance between the immediate use of intelligence and the protection of its sources, between the short-term benefits and long-term preservation of these assets in the context of the war. Drawing on a vast amount of archival material, both civilian and military, this research presents these three countries’ various approaches and uses this analysis to reflect on their concrete achievements. This study interrogates the preconceived ideas about these countries’ intelligence practices, in particular the reputation of secrecy of the British agencies, as opposed to the lack of discretion of their American counterparts. Moreover, this thesis emphasises the particular situation of German secret services in a very divided country.The ambiguous cooperation between Britain and the United States during the Second World War helped pave the way for their « special relationship ». During the war, the balance of power between the two nations shifted dramatically, in the intelligence field as in many others. Moreover, the analysis of the exchanges between the British intelligence officers and their French and Soviet colleagues opens new research avenues in the study of their international relations and on these complex and fluctuating alliances

Full textAbstract:
Redécouverte à la fin du XIXe siècle, à la faveur de l’évolution des télécommunications, la cryptologie, ou science des écritures secrètes, connaît un intérêt croissant dans les milieux militaires et navals. Son développement accéléré en temps de guerre se traduit chez les Français et les Britanniques par la création ou l’élargissement de plusieurs services dits « du Chiffre », spécialisés dans la protection des communications nationales et alliées et dans l’attaque des codes ennemis. Une telle évolution illustre l’émergence d’une nouvelle branche du renseignement et de son reflet dans le contre-espionnage pendant la Première Guerre mondiale : le renseignement technique. La comparaison des Chiffres français et britanniques au sein des forces armées établit des temporalités certes différentes dans l’apparition de certaines missions, mais met en lumière les similitudes dans l’instauration de ces services, notamment dans le recrutement d’un personnel soumis au secret. Au sein de l’Entente cordiale, une coopération secrète, interarmes et interalliée, se noue entre les services du Chiffre français et britanniques. Cette alliance comprend autant la construction de codes secrets communs que le partage d’informations issues de l’interception et du décryptement des messages ennemis. Elle permet ainsi de souligner l’importance de la cryptologie pour l’alliance franco-britannique, mais aussi pour leurs autres alliés comme les Américains, dans la lutte contre les Empires centraux. L’ampleur que cette spécialité du renseignement prend dans la conduite de la guerre explique dès lors la forme prise par les Chiffres français et britanniques d’après-guerreAt the end of the 19th century, thanks to the evolution of telecommunications, military and naval circles rediscover cryptology, also known as “science of secret writing”, and become more and more interested by it. Its quick development in wartime can be depicted by the creation or expansion of several units, called “Cipher services”, in France and in the United Kingdom. These services have two missions: protecting the national and allied communications, and attacking the secret codes of the enemy. Their growth during the First World War illustrates the emergence of a brand new branch of intelligence and its reflection in counter-espionage: signals intelligence, or SIGINT. A comparison between the French and British Cipher services within their armed forces shows that there were similarities in the establishment of these services, particularly in recruiting personnel whom were subject to secrecy, although the temporalities of certain missions differed. Within the Entente Cordiale, a secret, joint and allied cooperation was established between the various French and British signals intelligence services. This alliance included the creation of shared codes, as well as the sharing of information resulting from the interception and decrypting of enemy communications. It thus highlights the importance of cryptology for the Franco-British alliance in the fight against the Central Empires, which can also be observed in their other alliances, such as the one with the Americans. It also sheds light on the extent to which this intelligence specialty took on in the conduct of the war, which explains the shape taken by the French and British Ciphers after the war

Full textAbstract:
Quelle est la valeur politique, morale et philosophique des fictions dites « d’espionnage » ? Nous examinons cette question à partir d’une méthodologie innovante mêlant analyse de séries télévisées contemporaines (Homeland, Le Bureau des Légendes) et enquêtes de terrain auprès des acteurs du renseignement (CIA, DGSE) et du divertissement (showrunners, scénaristes). La thèse que nous défendons est celle d’une modification du statut ontologique et épistémique des films ou séries d’espionnage en raison de l’engagement de véritables espions dans leur fabrication. L’importance politique et philosophique des fictions d’espionnage se manifeste par l’impact de ces fictions sur la réalité politique et sociale : le « réalisme » des fictions d’espionnage que nous définissons ici s’éloigne des conceptions communes de ressemblance avec le réel pour y substituer une approche qui met l’agentivité au cœur de l’analyse. Il ne s’agit pas de décréter l’effacement de la frontière entre fait et fiction mais au contraire d’en réaffirmer l’importance, comme hypothèse de production et de réception des œuvres. Dans un contexte où la demande d’information concernant les activités clandestines de l’État ne cesse de croître, les interactions entre professionnels du renseignement et du divertissement permettent aux premiers de mettre en scène leur propre dévoilement sans pour autant révéler leurs activités réelles. Ainsi, loin de concourir à l’abolition de la frontière du secret, de telles pratiques opèrent un déplacement de cette dernière : une reconduite du régime du secret sous l’apparence d’une mise en transparence. Le secret de l’État n’est jamais dévoilé, il est toujours signifiéWhat is the political, moral and philosophical value of “spy fiction”? This dissertation examines this question using an innovative methodology that combines an analysis of contemporary television series (Homeland, Le Bureau des Légendes) and interviews with intelligence practitioners (CIA, DGSE) along with entertainment professionals (showrunners, screenwriters). My thesis is that there is a change in the ontological and epistemic status of spy films and TV series due to the involvement of real spies in their creation. The political and philosophical importance of spy fiction manifests itself in the impact of spy fiction on the political and social reality: the “realism” of spy fiction that I define here departs from common conceptions of correspondence to reality and replaces it with an approach that locates agency at the heart of the analysis. This approach does not stipulate the blurring of fact and fiction, but instead reaffirms its importance as a hypothesis for the production and reception of cultural artifacts. In a context where the demand for information concerning clandestine activities of the state keeps growing, the interactions between intelligence and entertainment professionals allow the former to stage their own disclosure without revealing their real activities. Far from contributing to the abolition of the frontier of secrecy, such practices contribute to its displacement, thus allowing a renewal of secrecy under the appearance of transparency. State secrets are never revealed but only signified

Full textAbstract:
Depuis la fin des années 2000, l’intégration de l’appareil de renseignement dans le paysage administratif et institutionnel français est incontestable : encadrement juridique de ses activités, redéfinition du lien entretenu avec l’Exécutif, contrôle pluriel dont il fait dorénavant l’objet, etc. S’il convient de vérifier cette normalisation, il paraît davantage essentiel d’en évaluer la portée. Au seuil de l’étude, un faisceau d’indices peut être dégagé pour corroborer le processus d’une normalisation substantielle de l’appareil de renseignement. Ce dernier ne saurait pour autant disparaître et se fondre entièrement dans la matrice administrative. Dans cette hypothèse, alors que le processus de normalisation entend gommer les originalités de l’appareil de renseignement, il engendre en réalité un mouvement paradoxal : aux originalités de départ s’en sont ajoutées ou substituées de nouvelles. Ainsi envisagé, l’alignement de l’appareil de renseignement sur le modèle administratif demeure limité par un certain nombre d’éléments qui façonnent un édifice à la physionomie singulière, oscillant entre normalité et originalité. Pour s’en convaincre, il s’agit de mettre en exergue que la normalisation de l’appareil de renseignement s’opère par la conjonction de deux mouvements dans une synchronie parfaite. Le premier est relatif à l’encadrement juridique de l’appareil de renseignement qui, par les procédés qu’il déploie, constitue l’apanage de cette normalisation. Le second se concrétise dans le resserrement du contrôle de l’appareil de renseignement dont les mécanismes apparaissent comme les marqueurs de cette normalisationSince the end of the 2000s, the integration of the intelligence apparatus into the French administrative and institutional landscape has been indisputable: legal framework for its activities, redefinition of the link maintained with the executive branch, plural control to which it is now subject, etc. While this normalisation should be verified, it will be more essential to assess its scope. At the threshold of the study, a bundle of clues can be released to corroborate the process of a substantial normalisation of the intelligence apparatus. However, it cannot disappear and merge entirely into the administrative matrix. In this hypothesis, while the normalisation process intends to erase the originalities of the intelligence apparatus, it actually generates a paradoxical movement: new originalities have been added. Thus considered, the alignment of the intelligence apparatus on the administrative model remains limited by a certain number of elements which shape an administration with a singular appearance, oscillating between normality and originality. To be convinced of this, the aim is to emphasise that the normalisation of the intelligence apparatus takes place by the conjunction of two movements in perfect synchronization. The first relates to the legal framework of the intelligence apparatus which constitutes the apanage of this normalisation. The second is triggered by the tightening of control over the intelligence apparatus, the mechanism of which appears to be the markers of this normalisation

Full textAbstract:
En suivant la trajectoire de quatre leaders africains au temps des indépendances, Barthélémy Boganda (République centrafricaine), Patrice Lumumba (République du Congo), Félix Moumié et Ruben Um Nyobè (Cameroun), ce travail cherche à explorer par le biais de l’anthropologie historique, de la méthode comparative et à l’échelle de l’Afrique centrale, en quoi l’assassinat politique peut constituer un moyen de réguler les relations internationales et peut être un fondement de la construction nationale de leur pays d’origine. Au fil de l’itinéraire politique de ces leaders, seront évoquées leurs désillusions onusiennes et panafricaines qui resserrent sur eux l’étau mortel d’une Realpolitik entre bipolarisation et néocolonialisme. L’autre hypothèse explorée est la suivante : il serait possible par le biais de l’Histoire comparée de faire émerger des invariants à l’assassinat politique sous forme de processus récurrents comme l’arme judiciaire, l’arme médiatique, l’absence de sépultures décentes, la damnatio memoriae dont ils sont frappés qui aboutit a contrario à une inversion symbolique et iconique. L’étude s’appuie sur de nombreuses sources qui se sont complétées afin de reconstituer l’enchaînement des évènements et de nouvelles interprétations : archives privées inédites, archives publiques dont certaines ont été déclassifiées pour cette étude, sources audiovisuelles et imprimées, témoignages oraux inédits recueillis par l’auteureThrough a close examination of the trajectory of four African leaders, Barthélémy Boganda (Republic of Central Africa), Patrice Lumumba (Republic of Congo), Félix Moumié et Ruben Um Nyobé (Cameroun), during the independence era, and by means of the historical anthropology, the comparative method and focusing on Central Africa, this study tries to explore to what extent political assassination could constitute a way of regulating international relationships and lay the foundations of the national construction of their country of origins. Along their political career path, their UN-related and Pan–Africanism disillusionment that tightens around them the lethal noose of a Realpolitik caught between bipolarization and neo-colonialism will be referred to. The other hypothesis developed here is as followed : it could be possible through comparative history to bring out invariance within political assassination under the forms of recurrent processes such as the judiciary weapon, the media weapon, the lack of a decent burial place and the damnatio memoriae they’ve been sentenced to which all contrastingly led to a symbolic and iconic reversal. The study relies on numerous sources that complete each other in order to reconstitute the chain of events and allow new interpretations: private exclusive archives, public archives, some of which having been declassified for this purpose, audio-visual and printed sources, exclusive oral narratives collected by the author

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis chapter presents a summary of the description and preliminary results of the use case related to the implementation of artificial intelligence tools in the emerging technology called wireless avionics intra-communications (WAICs). WAICs aims to replace some of the cable buses of modern aircraft. This replacement of infrastructure leads to: (1) complexity reduction of future airplanes, (2) creation of innovative services where wireless links are more flexible than wireline links, and mainly (3) a considerable weight reduction, which in turn leads to fuel consumption efficiency, increase of payload, as well as range extension. Therefore, WAICs is expected to have a large impact on the aeronautics industry, propelling a new generation of greener, more efficient, and less expensive aeronautical services. However, there are still several reliability, trust, interoperability and latency issues that need to be addressed before this technology becomes commercial. It is expected that AI will boost the applicability of this technology, contributing to the realization of the concept of “fly-by-wireless”.

Full textAbstract:
Since Bulgarian-Japan relations have already been well researched by the scholar Evgeny Kandilarov, this study aims to pose an accent on a very specific aspect of their Cold War interaction. Based primary on Bulgarian declassified documents of ex-socialist secret services it attempts to supplement Cold War studies and knowledge about Sofia-Tokyo relations as a part of Japan’s relations with the Soviet Union and the East European countries as a whole. It provides analysis regarding aims, methodology, expansion, cooperation, and results of Bulgarian scientific and technical intelligence in Japan during the Cold War years. This study proposes that since Western democracies restricted access of socialist countries to high technology by COCOM and since Japan achieved unimaginable economic and technological growth in the end of 1960s, KGB and all Eastern European secret services estimated Japan as a destination with significant opportunities for scientific and technical intelligence. Bulgarian communist leader Todor Zhivkov was one of the greatest admirers of the Japanese economic model and thus, scientific, and technical intelligence became a priority line for Bulgarian residence in Japan. It was not only a countermeasure in view of COCOM restrictions but transformed into an important element of socialist strategy for modernization. Japan was not the only one of capitalist countries, which became an object of industrial espionage, but it took key place for completing important scientific and technical tasks in the field of electronics, robotics, chemical industry, equipment etc. This knowledge was more or less implemented in industry and contributed to the Bulgarian economic and technological modernization.

Full textAbstract:
The security (Intelligence and Counterintelligence) services are one of the key elements for dealing with the 21st century challenges. The principle itself is directed mostly in preventive action i.e. early discovery, identifying and stopping the security threats. Intelligence is a process of collecting, processing, analyzing and distribution of intelligence data. The Intelligence i.e. the Intelligence services own the capacity for collecting information which is important for the safety and the constitutional order of the country. Counterintelligence is inverse process of the Intelligence i.e. detecting of unfriendly intelligence capacities. After the end of the Cold War, the security threats and challenges in the world changed, so according to that many countries changed their entire security system. Intelligence services are also susceptible to transformation. With the emergence of terrorism as a security threat no. 1 in the 21st century, the biggest parts of the Intelligences’ activities are directed to discovering and preventing the terrorist activities and to dissolving and destroying the terrorist organizations. The way the terrorist groups operate is similar worldwide. They are well organized, have strong propaganda machinery, hierarchy and a high degree of secrecy within the organization. They act on vital and sensitive goals in society, mostly on civilians, in order to sow fear and demonstrate power versus the regular security forces. The terrorism is not only a number 1 threat to national security, but also to international security. The need for cooperation of intelligence and counterintelligence services between the member states of NATO and the EU is extremely important for the 16 mutual exchange of intelligence information concerning the terrorist organizations and their actions. One terrorist organization does not operate locally but has cells in many countries around the world. That’s why the cooperation of the Intelligence services is so important in the process of uncovering future plans for detecting future terrorist attacks and stopping them as well as jointly dismantling terrorist organizations. The process of exchange of experiences, lessons learned and the organization of joint training and training the members of the intelligence services enables greater efficiency in the fight against terrorism. Key words: Intelligence, Counterintelligence, Intelligence Services, terrorism, terrorist organizations, security threats.

Almaghaslah, A. M. "Incorporating Human Aspect into Service Contract Procurement." In ADIPEC. SPE, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.2118/216370-ms.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract Organizations always strive to develop robust contracts to support supply chains. Depending on the size of the organizations, tens to thousands of contracts are procured to secure goods and services, including manpower. However, many disputes and penalties occur after contract awarding due to manpower qualifications not being satisfied as per contract terms and conditions (Brian, 2018). As the demand to outsource services increases, optimal safety operations require more qualified manpower. This paper introduces a new contract measure to evaluate individual safety intelligence, which represents the ability to recognize self and others safety profiles and use information and knowledge to guide thinking and behavior towards safe operations and safe working environment. Safety is always one of corporate values and is recognized as one the pillars to operational excellence models. Individuals’ safety intelligence factors can be used in contracts to assess candidates and current employees’ capabilities and interest in safety. This can help organizations which plan to outsource, to select the right staff based on their safety intelligence. Various literature reviews demonstrate the importance of human aspect to safety, but only a few shows a practical approach to measure its quality and fitness from contract administration perspective. Safety intelligence, as introduced here, can be used to guide organizations to assign qualified staff at the very early stage in a business relationship. This can optimize operations while protecting lives and assets. Contract procurement is one of the major activities that company has to perform in order to get necessary services to operations (Andrea, 2023). This paper focuses on contact procurement that includes manpower. Each organization has its own way to do the procurement but they all agree on some basic steps. Service contract procurement usually consists of 4 major steps shown in Fig. 1, namely develop service procurement plan, service procurement, contract administration, and adjust service procurement plan (Andrea, 2023).

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The O&G industry is facing big challenges which consequently raise the necessity for reforming its traditional business model and integrating digital disruptive technologies such as Digital Twins, Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain. A Digital Twin(DT) is defined as a dynamic intelligent digital replica/model of the physical system/process/service/people which enables just-in-time informed decision making and root-cause analysis using AI. DTs are implanted at different levels such as Equipment/Asset Level Twin, System Level Twin, System of Systems (SoS) Level Twin. This research introduces a novel framework which is based on a Smart Secure Digital Twin (S2DT) to bridge the development gap compared to other leading industries such as manufacturing and automotive. The proposed model relies on Tiny Machine Learning (TinyML) to implement edge intelligence and solve the problems of transfer latency and data overload and consequently achieves low carbon footprint. Edge Intelligence (EI) reduces energy consumption and enhances security and perspective maintenance. The Blockchain Technology is used to solve the privacy, and cybersecurity problems [4]. The Extended Reality (XR) will be used to ensure proper training of operators, and industry 5.0 to boost collaboration between human and machine. At the component level, security is maintained by integrated the locally generated intelligence on a blockchain to insure immutability, and enhance security.

Full textAbstract:
A realization of intelligent logistic system for a recycling center requires utilization of very latest information and communication technologies. Therefore, versatile technology framework and adapting data-driven solutions to optimize collection, transportation, and processing of recyclable materials is needed. The key components in building the technology framework for enabling intelligent, intelligent logistic recycling service are robust communication platform, reliable vehicle and asset tracking system and AI (Artificial Intelligent) enabled data analysis and management platform. The communication platform facilitates collaboration between stakeholders including recycling company, transportation company, waste management company and local government. Its purpose is to improve information flow and coordination between stakeholders. The vehicle and asset tracking system provides means to monitor and manage various assets and fleet of vehicles operating in the recycling area, which can be fully autonomous or driven by professional drivers. The data provided by the vehicle and asset tracking system must be acquired, analyzed and used for decision making efficiently in real time. The data analysis and management platform store all the data needed for operating intelligent logistic service of a recycling center. It utilizes existing IoT (Internet of Things) technologies and the communication platform. AI solutions are used for analyzing the collected data for further use to provide services for the users of the system. The research question is to how to design Hybrid Intelligent (HI) logistic system for recycling center in MORE industrial park that enables 24/7 autonomous recycling service for companies? The recycling center’s autonomous service is aimed for companies that have need to store larger quantities of various materials for recycling and further use in future. The key requirements from a client’s point of view are 24/7 access to recycling area, safe and secure material storage facility and efficient operations in recycling area. Safety, security and reliability of services in recycling center are particularly important when the center’s operating personnel are not present and available. This is also primary concern for the recycling center operator. The asset and vehicle tracking system must monitor and manage all vehicles in the recycling area regardless who is driving it, human or AI. Therefore, the system must consider human input and learn to manage autonomous traffic to provide support for human activities in the recycling area. The paper proposes a design solution for a smart autonomous recycling service that utilize HI logistic system.

Payment Systems Report - June of 2020. Banco de la República de Colombia, February 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.32468/rept-sist-pag.eng.2020.
Full textAbstract:
With its annual Payment Systems Report, Banco de la República offers a complete overview of the infrastructure of Colombia’s financial market. Each edition of the report has four objectives: 1) to publicize a consolidated account of how the figures for payment infrastructures have evolved with respect to both financial assets and goods and services; 2) to summarize the issues that are being debated internationally and are of interest to the industry that provides payment clearing and settlement services; 3) to offer the public an explanation of the ideas and concepts behind retail-value payment processes and the trends in retail payments within the circuit of individuals and companies; and 4) to familiarize the public, the industry, and all other financial authorities with the methodological progress that has been achieved through applied research to analyze the stability of payment systems. This edition introduces changes that have been made in the structure of the report, which are intended to make it easier and more enjoyable to read. The initial sections in this edition, which is the eleventh, contain an analysis of the statistics on the evolution and performance of financial market infrastructures. These are understood as multilateral systems wherein the participating entities clear, settle and register payments, securities, derivatives and other financial assets. The large-value payment system (CUD) saw less momentum in 2019 than it did the year before, mainly because of a decline in the amount of secondary market operations for government bonds, both in cash and sell/buy-backs, which was offset by an increase in operations with collective investment funds (CIFs) and Banco de la República’s operations to increase the money supply (repos). Consequently, the Central Securities Depository (DCV) registered less activity, due to fewer negotiations on the secondary market for public debt. This trend was also observed in the private debt market, as evidenced by the decline in the average amounts cleared and settled through the Central Securities Depository of Colombia (Deceval) and in the value of operations with financial derivatives cleared and settled through the Central Counterparty of Colombia (CRCC). Section three offers a comprehensive look at the market for retail-value payments; that is, transactions made by individuals and companies. During 2019, electronic transfers increased, and payments made with debit and credit cards continued to trend upward. In contrast, payments by check continued to decline, although the average daily value was almost four times the value of debit and credit card purchases. The same section contains the results of the fourth survey on how the use of retail-value payment instruments (for usual payments) is perceived. Conducted at the end of 2019, the main purpose of the survey was to identify the availability of these payment instruments, the public’s preferences for them, and their acceptance by merchants. It is worth noting that cash continues to be the instrument most used by the population for usual monthly payments (88.1% with respect to the number of payments and 87.4% in value). However, its use in terms of value has declined, having registered 89.6% in the 2017 survey. In turn, the level of acceptance by merchants of payment instruments other than cash is 14.1% for debit cards, 13.4% for credit cards, 8.2% for electronic transfers of funds and 1.8% for checks. The main reason for the use of cash is the absence of point-of-sale terminals at commercial establishments. Considering that the retail-payment market worldwide is influenced by constant innovation in payment services, by the modernization of clearing and settlement systems, and by the efforts of regulators to redefine the payment industry for the future, these trends are addressed in the fourth section of the report. There is an account of how innovations in technology-based financial payment services have developed, and it shows that while this topic is not new, it has evolved, particularly in terms of origin and vocation. One of the boxes that accompanies the fourth section deals with certain payment aspects of open banking and international experience in that regard, which has given the customers of a financial entity sovereignty over their data, allowing them, under transparent and secure conditions, to authorize a third party, other than their financial entity, to request information on their accounts with financial entities, thus enabling the third party to offer various financial services or initiate payments. Innovation also has sparked interest among international organizations, central banks, and research groups concerning the creation of digital currencies. Accordingly, the last box deals with the recent international debate on issuance of central bank digital currencies. In terms of the methodological progress that has been made, it is important to underscore the work that has been done on the role of central counterparties (CCPs) in mitigating liquidity and counterparty risk. The fifth section of the report offers an explanation of a document in which the work of CCPs in financial markets is analyzed and corroborated through an exercise that was built around the Central Counterparty of Colombia (CRCC) in the Colombian market for non-delivery peso-dollar forward exchange transactions, using the methodology of network topology. The results provide empirical support for the different theoretical models developed to study the effect of CCPs on financial markets. Finally, the results of research using artificial intelligence with information from the large-value payment system are presented. Based on the payments made among financial institutions in the large-value payment system, a methodology is used to compare different payment networks, as well as to determine which ones can be considered abnormal. The methodology shows signs that indicate when a network moves away from its historical trend, so it can be studied and monitored. A methodology similar to the one applied to classify images is used to make this comparison, the idea being to extract the main characteristics of the networks and use them as a parameter for comparison.
