The social aspect of Smart Wearable Systems in the era of Internet-of-ThingsAnax Fotopoulos
Social networking (Web 2.0) changed the way of interaction and communication of humans-to-humans, companies-to-customers, universities-to-students and state-to-citizens. The movement from static web pages (Web 1.0) to social networking and the rapid growth of smart devices created a new need for more complex data-on-demand across multiple platforms and devices. Cloud computing, miniaturization of sensors and low energy wireless technologies offered adequate possibilities to measure and understand environmental, health, industrial and other indicators, delivered in smart devices or in the web. The skyrocketing proliferation of the bidirectional communication between sensors and smart devices created a new series of products bringing us to the era of Internet-of-Things (IoT). The ubiquitous computing (presumed as Web 3.0) states that computing will appear in any device and in any location. Smart Wearable Systems (SWS) constitute the latest effort of academia and industry to toward this direction, aiming to enhance the communication and the velocity between IoT applications, smart devices (smartphones, tablets & smart TVs) and social networks. In this paper an analysis over social aspects of SWS is performed. Recent reports show that IoT market will be bigger than the total market of smart devices and PCs combined, enlarging the overall interest.
The rise of the mobile web will dramatically affect the go-to-market strategies for organizations of every size across virtually every industry and market segment.

Integration of Bayesian Theory and Association Rule Mining in Predicting User...Editor IJCATR
Bayesian theory and association rule mining methods are artificial intelligence techniques that have been used in various computing fields, especially in machine learning. Internet has been considered as an easy ground for vices like radicalization because of its diverse nature and ease of information access. These vices could be managed using recommender systems methods which are used to deliver users’ preference data based on their previous interests and in relation with the community around the user. The recommender systems are divided into two broad categories, i.e. collaborative systems which considers users which share the same preferences as the user in question and content-based recommender systems tends to recommend websites similar to those already liked by the user. Recent research and information from security organs indicate that, online radicalization has been growing at an alarming rate. The paper reviews in depth what has been carried out in recommender systems and looks at how these methods could be combined to from a strong system to monitor and manage online menace as a result of radicalization. The relationship between different websites and the trend from continuous access of these websites forms the basis for probabilistic reasoning in understanding the users’ behavior. Association rule mining method has been widely used in recommender systems in profiling and generating users’ preferences. To add probabilistic reasoning considering internet magnitude and more so in social media, Bayesian theory is incorporated. Combination of this two techniques provides better analysis of the results thereby adding reliability and knowledge to the results.
Your mobile knows a lot about you and that brings a number of business risks – security breaches from company data held in emails or business apps, for example. We highlight the data and security risks of the phone in your pocket. -

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
