TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored how the key challenges associated with mega-events revolve around the management of risk, resources, operations planning, and stakeholder engagement, and proposed a detailed discussion and suggestions for strategic improvements to multiple-stakeholder collaboration in managing mega events that are at the scale and scope of the Durga Puja in Kolkata.
Abstract: This study explores how the key challenges associated with mega-events revolve around the management of risk, resources, operations planning and stakeholder engagement. Examined throughout this paper are the challenges and achievements of The Kolkata Police Force (KPF) in their role of ensuring safety for the public during the Durga Puja mega-festival. The paper evaluates the various strategies adopted by the KPF to overcome the multifarious challenges of organizing the mega-event. Also offered in this paper is a detailed discussion and suggestions for strategic improvements to multiple-stakeholder collaboration in managing mega-events that are at the scale and scope of the Durga Puja in Kolkata.

TL;DR: A more realistic DEA approach is proposed which is capable of handling categories defined in natural languages or with vague boundaries and generates efficiency as triangular fuzzy number and the applicability of this approach has been demonstrated.
Abstract: Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is used for the performance evaluation of a set of decision making units (DMUs). Such performance scores are necessary for taking managerial decisions like allocation of resources, improvement plans for the poor performers, and maintaining high efficiency of the leaders. In classical DEA, it is assumed that the DMUs are operating in a similar environment. But in practice, this assumption is normally broken as DMUs operate in a varied environment due to several uncontrollable factors like socio-economic differences, competitiveness in the region and location. In order to address this issue, categorical DEA was proposed for the construction of peer groups by creating crisp categories based on the level of competitiveness. However, such categorizations suffer from indeterminate factors, for example, human judgment and biases, linguistic ambiguity and vagueness. In this paper, we propose a more realistic DEA approach which is capable of handling categories defined in natural languages or with vague boundaries and generates efficiency as triangular fuzzy number. The analysis indicates that if a higher degree of fuzziness is allowed while defining the boundaries of the reference set, it results in (1) a compromise with the accuracy, signified by the spread of the fuzzy efficiency, (2) degradation of the quality, signified by the centre of the fuzzy efficiency, of the decision. Finally, the applicability of this approach has been demonstrated using public library data for different regions in Tokyo city. The sensitivity of the optimal decisions to the changes in fuzzy parameters has also been investigated.

TL;DR: A modification of the original formulation of metagraphs that eliminates some of the inconveniences that have hindered the use of this technique and presents a generalized graphical algorithm for structural (i.e., syntactic) verification that runs correctly not only on TPMGs containing directed cycles, but even on those that have overlapping patterns.
Abstract: Business processes can be modeled using a variety of schemes such as Petri Nets, Metagraphs and UML Activity Diagrams. When information analysis is as important an objective as the proper sequencing of tasks, the metagraph formalism is the most appropriate. In practice, however, metagraphs have not achieved wide popularity. Here we propose a modification of the original formulation that eliminates some of the inconveniences that have hindered the use of this technique. We represent a business process as a Task-Precedence Metagraph (TPMG), which is a type of AND/OR graph. A TPMG is similar to a metagraph but is visually clearer and more appealing, and the algorithmic procedures are graphical rather than algebraic. We first describe the proposed representation scheme for TPMGs and present a simple graph-search algorithm for the analysis of information flow. This can be readily extended to perform task analysis, resource analysis, and operational (i.e., semantic) verification. We then present a generalized graphical algorithm for structural (i.e., syntactic) verification that runs correctly not only on TPMGs containing directed cycles, but even on those that have overlapping patterns.

TL;DR: Fast and Route Optimized NEMO (FRONEMO), which brings in the concept of IP pre-fetching and advance-registration to acquire care-of-address for the anticipated future cells, is proposed.
Abstract: To reduce handoff latency (resulting in packet losses) and packet transfer delay (due to triangular routing) in NEMO Basic Support Protocol (NBSP), we propose Fast and Route Optimized NEMO (FRONEMO), which brings in the concept of IP pre-fetching and advance-registration to acquire care-of-address for the anticipated future cells. Also, FRONEMO uses the prefix delegation technique in route optimization with minimal control packet overhead. Analytical comparisons between FRONEMO and NBSP reveal that FRONEMO can support higher vehicle speed and still has significantly low handoff latency, lower packet loss, and higher throughput.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that public policy perspectives and convergence related laws seem to assume that convergent technology is predisposed towards convergent organizations, convergent content, convergence consumer behavior and convergent markets; such a cloud of convergent thinking in constructing policy perspectives does seem to naturally create a necessity for countervailing or compensatory regulatory intervention from a Free Speech perspective that privileges public access, plurality and diversity.
