Hikester - the event management application
Today social networks and services are one of the most important part of our
everyday life. Most of the daily activities, such as communicating with
friends, reading news or dating is usually done using social networks. However,
there are activities for which social networks do not yet provide adequate
support. This paper focuses on event management and introduces "Hikester". The
main objective of this service is to provide users with the possibility to
create any event they desire and to invite other users. "Hikester" supports the
creation and management of events like attendance of football matches, quest
rooms, shared train rides or visit of museums in foreign countries. Here we
discuss the project architecture as well as the detailed implementation of the
system components: the recommender system, the spam recognition service and the
parameters optimizer
MODELING INFORMATION SYSTEMS FOR EVENT MANAGEMENT
Website that could help event organizer to organize and manage Event wasnât a new thing. But today most similar portal providing services only for top-level steering committee due to the cost is quite high. This is the background of the author to conduct this research. Using the techniques of data collection, analysis, and several stages of research, it can be concluded that people required the website that could help them not only for organizing the event but also commercializing and helping them reach the customer. This research resulted in the model of event management website that dedicated for event organizers of the event from low to the middle level, where in addition to providing services and sales promotion, the portal also provides services for the evaluation for the event management
Contextualizing phenomenology in event management research: Deciphering the meaning of event experiences
Purpose - Although the core phenomenon of events is the experiences and the meanings attached to them, there is limited management research on the experiential, existential and ontological dimensions of events. Phenomenology provides a sound philosophical framework for studying the multifaceted dimensions of experiences and associated meanings of events. However, quite surprisingly, phenomenology has not yet been systematically applied on the event management field. This conceptual paper aims to introduce phenomenology to the study of events, demonstrate its value for the field and encourage as well as guide its application on event management research. Design/methodology/approach - A review and synthesis of the main phenomenological streams of thought was undertaken in order to develop a research paradigm for the application of phenomenology on the event management field. Findings - The paper explains why phenomenology is needed in the study of events and their management, its conceptual underpinnings and streams of thought and finally suggests a research framework for conducting phenomenological studies in event management. Research limitations/implications - The consequences of the phenomenological perspective are delineated for explaining how the study of event meanings and experiences can be undertaken from this perspective. The limitations of phenomenology are noted such as the emphasis on âlifeworldâ subjectivity and subsequent difficulty to claim the generalizability of research findings. Practical implications - The suggested research framework can guide future event management research on how to apply phenomenology to the study of event experiences and meanings. On this basis, practitioners can get insight regarding how to develop and design events that optimize the perceived experiences of attendees. Originality/value - While the experiential paradigm and the phenomenological turn have been spread across many disciplines emphasizing the essence of lived experiences in a variety of human interactions and exchanges, the event management field lags behind. This is unfortunate and has to be addressed as the experiences and meanings shape the essence of events. Therefore, this conceptual paper hopes to inspire, encourage and guide event management researchers to embrace and apply the phenomenological perspective on their future research endeavors, which can profitably complement and expand the predominant research paradigms in the field
The development of competitive advantage through sustainable event management
Purpose: Whilst the debate rages between progressive and destructive considerations of economic development, this paper aims to develop thinking around the sustainable event and its contribution to competitive advantage. Design/methodology/approach: The paper defines the sustainable event and considers different position that might be adopted by private and public sector organisations when addressing the triple bottom line of sustainable development. Findings: Cost leadership strategies are unlikely to work and the event organiser must address competitive advantage via differentiation and focus strategies. Practical implications: Event managers must gain a better understanding of the motivations of their audience in relation to sustainability and work towards clearer means to demonstrate that their event meets these sustainable development needs. Originality/value: The intention being that if event organisers can see a competitive advantage in the sustainable event, their contribution to sustainable development will be increased. © Emerald Group Publishing Limited
Event Management Skills.
So, how do we counter the criticism of the Taxpayerâs Alliance that events related courses could be described as ânon-coursesâ? Sometimes it feels like we are caught in the middle of what industry wants and what gives our courses academic credibility i.e. the ongoing vocational (professional) vs academic argument. Does it have to be this way? The aim of this article is to stimulate debate amongst the events community and to highlight some of the current developments in both Higher Education and âindustryâ (i.e. Sector Skills) that might be relevant to us. To add to the discussion we bring in some initial findings from research that we are undertaking with event organisations as to which skills they think are the most important for managers of events
Event-based graphical monitoring in the EpochX genetic programming framework
EpochX is a genetic programming framework with provision for event management â similar to the Java event model â allowing the notification of particular actions during the lifecycle of the evolutionary algorithm. It also provides a flexible Stats system to gather statistics measures. This paper introduces a graphical interface to the EpochX genetic programming framework, taking full advantage of EpochX's event management. A set of representation-independent and tree-dependent GUI components are presented, showing how statistic information can be presented in a rich format using the information provided by EpochX's Stats system
CALENDAR EVENT MANAGEMENT
A calendar event management system provides hassle free management of calendar events. The system receives a calendar invite for an event at a specified time slot for an invitee. On receiving the calendar invite, the system identifies an existing event scheduled at the specified time slot in a calendar for the invitee. Then, the system determines that the event has higher priority than the existing event. Further, on determining that the event has higher priority than the existing event, the system adds the event to the inviteeâs calendar
CALENDAR EVENT MANAGEMENT
A calendar event management system provides additional and improved functionalities to a user of a calendar application. In one embodiment, the calendar event management system calculates a probability of invitees attending an event and displays this calculated probability to all the other invitees. In a second embodiment, the system manages a presentation of notification for calendar events to an event organizer as well as the invitees. In a third embodiment, the system provides a notification for calendar events to a user based on a virtual location of the user
Closing the loop of SIEM analysis to Secure Critical Infrastructures
Critical Infrastructure Protection is one of the main challenges of last
years. Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems are widely used
for coping with this challenge. However, they currently present several
limitations that have to be overcome. In this paper we propose an enhanced SIEM
system in which we have introduced novel components to i) enable multiple layer
data analysis; ii) resolve conflicts among security policies, and discover
unauthorized data paths in such a way to be able to reconfigure network
devices. Furthermore, the system is enriched by a Resilient Event Storage that
ensures integrity and unforgeability of events stored.Comment: EDCC-2014, BIG4CIP-2014, Security Information and Event Management,
