Procedural Point Cloud Editing
Urban planning has become increasingly complex, necessitating the use of digitized data, large-scale city scans, and advanced tools for planning and development. Recent advancements in open-source 3D modelling software Blender have introduced powerful procedural editing tools like geometry nodes alongside robust mesh and curve manipulation capabilities. These features position Blender as a viable and cost-effective alternative to proprietary solutions in urban planning workflows. This study identifies common requirements, tasks, and workflows associated with cityscape transformation and visualization, implementing them within Blender’s environment. Documented working examples are provided, including procedural editing, cloud painting, and mesh transformation operations, demonstrating Blender’s versatility. To evaluate its practicality and performance, we conducted a comparative analysis with the Rhinoceros Grasshopper, a widely used tool in urban planning.

API-First Development: A Full Stack Approach
API-First Development is a methodology in software engineering in which the design and documentation of application programming interfaces (APIs) are defined before implementing front-end or back-end components. This approach enables front-end and back-end teams to work in parallel, promotes modular architectures, and facilitates early testing and integration via API mocking and contract validation. In full stack systems, API-First strategies help enforce consistency, scale services independently, and streamline collaboration across distributed development teams.

Biography
Sir Timothy Berners-Lee
Sir Timothy John Berners-Lee (born June 8, 1955), often known as TimBL or Tim Berners-Lee, is a British computer scientist widely celebrated as the inventor of the World Wide Web. His groundbreaking work in the late 1980s and early 1990s revolutionized how information is shared, accessed, and communicated globally. Unlike many inventors who capitalized on their creations, Berners-Lee chose to gi

Critique of Cerberus-KEM
Modern digital security relies on public-key cryptography, which underpins confidentiality, authentication, and digital signatures. The hardness assumptions of RSA (integer factorization) and ECC (discrete logarithms) have long been considered sufficient for classical security. However, the development of large-scale quantum computers threatens these foundations: Shor’s algorithm (1994) demonstrates polynomial-time attacks on both factoring and discrete logarithms.
