    Crises mark transitions and turning points. And it is exactly at these turning points that crises are productive. This is the moment when we can remove the aftertaste of catastrophe and use it as a “decisive turning point”, as per the meaning of the Greek word krisis.

    This publication seeks to not only analyse the impact of COVID-19 but more importantly to present a number of research-based recommendations and perspectives of this new normal. Agile. Perspectives on Malta's economy post COVID-19 presents an economic analysis supplemented by interviews with business leaders, social partners, expert contributions from different realms and an economic sentiment survey.

    We believe, more than ever, that this is the right time to define our future. Let us together work on charting an inclusive and sustainable economic model in the long run; where quality is valued more than quantity, where the environment is given its due importance and where the economy works for people.

  • Consumers’ use of Social Media in Malta

    University of Malta, ICON

    Digital technology has become an integral part of consumer activity in Malta and across the World. In fact, it has had such an impact on mainstream retail that Gartner Research predicts that by the year 2020, customers will manage 85% of their relationships with a Company without ever interacting with a human being. Social media plays a crucial role in these digital relationships and it appears that its significance will continue to grow in the future.

  • An Alternative Future for Malta

    Times of Malta

    As distrust in governments worldwide soars, an inversion of roles is necessary for citizens to become active in decision-making. Political disengagement is commonplace because a sense of helplessness with no access to influencing public policy has set in.

    Digital integration of society may restore political activity spurred by bytes, not ballots – a model with positive goals in which subsidia­rity is realised through digital access.

    Cloud Privacy Check (CPC) is a multinational project bringing together 45 specialist IT lawyers from 32 countries. The project outputs is as an online tool (in 26 different languages) which serves as a technical-legal guideline for cloud providers, customers and users. The CPC helps stakeholders to understand the generic value, concept and requirements of data protection regulations on a pan-European basis and makes it easy for them to handle country-specific differences with confidence.

    The Cloud Privacy Check (CPC) provide support by employing three key methods:

    • Simplification of a complex subject matter without loss in terms of content. The CPC elucidates the topic of data protection in the cloud providing a comprehensible and workable basis of information for people having to deal with the topic.
    • Structuring of a plethora of questions into individual topic-blocks which can be approached step by step – from the simplest to the most complex.
    • Separation of the generally applicable from the specific. This is probably the most significant aid for managing complex trans-border computing endeavours. By identifying similarities throughout countries, the CPC allows the user to focus on the differences which apply to their jurisdiction.

    To fight the war against terror, Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) are increasingly relying on social media intelligence (SOCMINT), a new field of intelligence covering a wide range of applications, techniques and capabilities analysing social media data, such as Natural Language Processing (NLP), Social Network Analysis (SNA), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Complex Event Processing (CEP).

    Commercial tools used by LEAs focus primarily on data mining and predictive analytics i.e. visualizing and analysing data on maps through time-sequence playback, centralizing multiple data stores in one system, discovering hidden value in existing information stores, sharing data with other law enforcement organizations.

    The RED-Alert solution covers a wide range of social media channels, in particular new channels such as Telegram and Periscope, which are increasingly used by terrorist groups to disseminate their content. The RED-Alert solution allows LEAs to take coordinated action in real-time while preserving the privacy of citizens.

    The specific objectives of RED-Alert are:

    - Improve available building blocks (NLP, SNA, CEP) and combine them with artificial intelligence (AI) in order to support the language, usability and privacy-preserving requirements of the RED-Alert solution
    - Integrate all building blocks (NLP, SNA, CEP) in a holistic solution with real-time collaborative capabilities and create a baseline system (development environment) for current and future use
    - Involve law enforcement agencies in the specification and the demonstration of the RED-Alert solution
    - Disseminate the project results in the scientific and law enforcement communities, prepare the exploitation of the RED-Alert solution and its individual modules

    RED-Alert outperforms state-of-the-art solutions in terms of performance, usability (visualization, real-time operation, collaboration, development support) and privacy protection.
