roadmap

Recently, supercomputers and high-performance computing (HPC) have caused significant progress in many fields, including industrial and research fields of artificial intelligence, data science, big data, Internet of Things, as well as large scale web applications. Regarding this characteristic, the supercomputer field becomes one of the strategic issues in developed and developing countries. Successful HPC development requires a robust infrastructure that effectively depends on a multidimensional policy and roadmap, covering all aspects of HPC services. In this regard, a comprehensive roadmap is necessary to design and achieve high-performance computing services. This paper proposes a comprehensive roadmap focusing on several strategic areas, including research activities, infrastructure and platforms, data processing, standard regulations, applied services, and business development. The roadmap follows an evolutionary strategy where strategic regions evolve in parallel. Also, in this paper, the Supercomputing Development Readiness Indicators (SDRI) inspired by the "Network Readiness Indicators" (NRI) are presented and the proposed roadmap uses them. The proposed roadmap is then compared with two other hypothetical roadmaps with the timing and priority of different strategic areas in terms of progress and completion time. Evaluation of the proposed roadmap based on the SDRI specification shows the effectiveness of the proposed method in creating and developing the services of a petaflops scale supercomputer.

Criminal Justice serves as the cornerstone for countering the most destructive acts contrary to human rights and dignity. The engagement of this pivotal institution with actions and conducts violating legal frameworks—such as terrorism, digital (cyber) crimes and climate change—is generally evaluated through national and regional approaches. Legal structures, such as United Nations programs, and operational frameworks, such as Interpol, exist at the international level to address these issues. In contemporary times, terrorist offenses leverage digital tools and technologies to advance their goals, utilizing digital platforms in order to pursue recruitment, financing, and weapons development schemes. This deleterious process inflicts irreparable harm on the biosphere, giving rise to climate-related crimes. Although the interaction between terrorism and climate change is bidirectional, encompassing both direct and indirect effects, the present study, conducted through library-based scientific research employs a descriptive-analytical method and an innovative approach, seeks to elucidate the suppression of digital (cyber) terrorism impacting climate change within the framework of criminal justice.
