Icsb 2010 neuroentrepreneurship

Norris Krueger

This document discusses how neuroscience can inform entrepreneurship research. It suggests that neuroscience methods can reveal gaps in current theories, help specify hypotheses, and identify antecedent states and decision-making processes. Some areas that neuroscience may provide insights into include pre-entrepreneurial cognition and decision-making, automatic vs intentional processing, and detecting "aha moments". Neuroscience designs could help address issues like common method bias and model the dynamics of entrepreneurial processes. Overall, neuroentrepreneurship is an exciting new area that may substantially advance entrepreneurship research.

The State of Software Engineering Research

Lionel Briand

Lionel Briand believes that software engineering research places too little attention on engineering and design aspects, focusing instead on novel but impractical solutions. He suggests increasing collaboration with industry to better define problems and priorities based on realistic contexts and domains. This would lead to research that is more applicable and impactful for the future by considering practicality and scalability.

Engineering as Willing

Philosophy, Engineering & Technology

1. The document discusses the nature of engineering as both a science and an art that involves systematic approaches to both knowing and willing. 2. Engineering involves contingency and intentionality in design due to the use of heuristics and consideration of client values and needs within constraints. 3. The role of engineers goes beyond number-crunching, as interpretation of data and deliberation over solutions within uncertainty is required due to the contingent nature of engineering problems.

Research Driven Design

Jackson Fox

This document discusses research-driven design and the importance of grounding design in empirical observation of users. It notes that research-driven design is based on gathering data about users' needs and experiences, analyzing the data, and using the conclusions to inform design decisions. The document emphasizes that user research helps validate design choices and ensure solutions meet users' actual needs rather than just their stated wants. It also cautions that while many resources for design research exist, the research should still be evaluated critically for scientific rigor.

A SYSTEMATIC RISK ASSESSMENT APPROACH FOR SECURING THE SMART IRRIGATION SYSTEMS

IJNSA Journal

The smart irrigation system represents an innovative approach to optimize water usage in agricultural and landscaping practices. The integration of cutting-edge technologies, including sensors, actuators, and data analysis, empowers this system to provide accurate monitoring and control of irrigation processes by leveraging real-time environmental conditions. The main objective of a smart irrigation system is to optimize water efficiency, minimize expenses, and foster the adoption of sustainable water management methods. This paper conducts a systematic risk assessment by exploring the key components/assets and their functionalities in the smart irrigation system. The crucial role of sensors in gathering data on soil moisture, weather patterns, and plant well-being is emphasized in this system. These sensors enable intelligent decision-making in irrigation scheduling and water distribution, leading to enhanced water efficiency and sustainable water management practices. Actuators enable automated control of irrigation devices, ensuring precise and targeted water delivery to plants. Additionally, the paper addresses the potential threat and vulnerabilities associated with smart irrigation systems. It discusses limitations of the system, such as power constraints and computational capabilities, and calculates the potential security risks. The paper suggests possible risk treatment methods for effective secure system operation. In conclusion, the paper emphasizes the significant benefits of implementing smart irrigation systems, including improved water conservation, increased crop yield, and reduced environmental impact. Additionally, based on the security analysis conducted, the paper recommends the implementation of countermeasures and security approaches to address vulnerabilities and ensure the integrity and reliability of the system. By incorporating these measures, smart irrigation technology can revolutionize water management practices in agriculture, promoting sustainability, resource efficiency, and safeguarding against potential security threats.

IJECEIAES

Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network

Harnessing WebAssembly for Real-time Stateless Streaming Pipelines

Christina Lin

Traditionally, dealing with real-time data pipelines has involved significant overhead, even for straightforward tasks like data transformation or masking. However, in this talk, we’ll venture into the dynamic realm of WebAssembly (WASM) and discover how it can revolutionize the creation of stateless streaming pipelines within a Kafka (Redpanda) broker. These pipelines are adept at managing low-latency, high-data-volume scenarios.

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoring

IJECEIAES

Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.
