Hidden geometric correlations in real multiplex networksKolja Kleineberg
Read the paper at http://www.nature.com/nphys/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nphys3812.html
Real networks often form interacting parts of larger and more complex systems. Examples can be found in different domains, ranging from the Internet to structural and functional brain networks. Here, we show that these multiplex systems are not random combinations of single network layers. Instead, they are organized in specific ways dictated by hidden geometric correlations between the layers. We find that these correlations are significant in different real multiplexes, and form a key framework for answering many important questions. Specifically, we show that these geometric correlations facilitate the definition and detection of multidimensional communities, which are sets of nodes that are simultaneously similar in multiple layers. They also enable accurate trans-layer link prediction, meaning that connections in one layer can be predicted by observing the hidden geometric space of another layer. And they allow efficient targeted navigation in the multilayer system using only local knowledge, outperforming navigation in the single layers only if the geometric correlations are sufficiently strong.
'Since 2008, the world economy has been facing the consequences of the global financial crisis. As a result, many economic policy paradigms have been revised, and this process is far from complete. The policy area, which needs a fundamental rethinking (especially in advanced economies), relates to the role of public finance and fiscal policy in ensuring economic growth and financial stability. The primary task will be to develop a new analytical approach and detailed indicators, which are necessary to provide a correct diagnosis and effective recommendations.'
What are the “safe” levels of budget deficit and public debt during “normal” or “good” times? Is there a single norm of fiscal safety?
These questions are discussed in the new paper by Marek Dabrowski: "Fiscal Sustainability: Conceptual, Institutional, and Policy Issues".
The publication is a part of CASE Working Papers series.
Building a Distributed Reservation System with Cassandra (Andrew Baker & Jeff...DataStax
At Choice Hotels International, we are in the midst of a multi-year effort to replace our 25 year old monolithic reservation system with a cloud-based, microservice-style architecture using Cassandra. Since processing the first live reservation on the new system in December 2015, we've been shifting an increasing amount of shopping and booking traffic to the new system, with retirement of the old system scheduled for early 2017.
After a quick review of our problem space, architecture, schema design, and Cassandra deployment, we'll take a closer look several challenges we faced and discuss how they impacted our data modeling, development and deployment:
* Managing data with varying consistency requirements
* Maintaining data integrity across microservice boundaries
* Performing complex queries involving overlapping time ranges
* Relying on time-to-live (TTL) for data cleanup
* Balancing denormalization, performance and cost

Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System
Satoshi Nakamoto
satoshin@gmx.com
www.bitcoin.org
Abstract.
A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online
payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a
financial institution. Digital signatures provide part of the solution, but the main
benefits are lost if a trusted third party is still required to prevent double-spending.
We propose a solution to the double-spending problem using a peer-to-peer network.
The network timestamps transactions by hashing them into an ongoing chain of
hash-based proof-of-work, forming a record that cannot be changed without redoing
the proof-of-work. The longest chain not only serves as proof of the sequence of
events witnessed, but proof that it came from the largest pool of CPU power. As
long as a majority of CPU power is controlled by nodes that are not cooperating to
attack the network, they'll generate the longest chain and outpace attackers. The
network itself requires minimal structure. Messages are broadcast on a best effort
basis, and nodes can leave and rejoin the network at will, accepting the longest
proof-of-work chain as proof of what happened while they were gone.

The cognitive advantage
Cognitive computing is quickly emerging as a transformative technology that enables
organizations to gain business advantage. Also referred to as artificial intelligence (AI), cognitive
technology augments human expertise to unlock new intelligence from vast quantities of data and
to develop deep, predictive insights at scale. This shift to systems that can reason and learn is
especially germane to the bottom line; the cognitive era is here in large part because it makes
practical business sense.
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.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
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).

analytics
Businesses are amassing a wealth of data and IBM Power Systems™, built
with innovation to support today’s data demands, can store it, secure it
and, most important, extract actionable insight from it. Power Systems
are designed for big data. From operational business intelligence and data
warehouses to predictive analytics and cognitive IBM Watson™ solu-
tions, Power servers are optimized for the compute intensive performance

memory bandwidth and broad data pathways to process and
move data through applications in ways that are easier to
consume and manage.
The Power E850 server delivers exceptional throughput, using
POWER8 processors up to 3.7 GHz that support simultaneous
multi-threading of up to eight threads per core (SMT8). Each
Dual Chip Module has on-chip memory controllers and may
utilize up to128 GB off-chip eDRAM L4 cache to deliver
192 GB/sec of memory bandwidth per socket. I/O bandwidth is
also dramatically increased by way of PCIe Gen3 I/O control-
lers, directly integrated into the processors to further reduce
latency. The Power E850 server offers over 70 percent more
system performance than an IBM POWER7+™ Power 750
server, enabling increased throughput and data center efficiency.
Industrial-strength PowerVM
virtualization
PowerVM is the family of technologies, capabilities and
offerings that deliver industry-leading virtualization on
IBM POWER® processor-based systems. In addition to inher-
ent virtual machines (Logical Partitions) provided by firmware,
PowerVM provides advanced virtualization technologies to help
optimize efficiency, increase throughput and lower costs. And
PowerVM has no documented vulnerabilities, so it can enhance
system security, as well.
PowerVM includes IBM Micro-Partitioning® and Virtual I/O
Server (VIOS) capabilities, which enable businesses to share
resources and increase system utilization, while helping to
ensure applications continue to get the resources they need.
Also included are support for Multiple Shared Processor
Pools and Shared Dedicated Capacity, which enable automatic,
non-disruptive balancing of processing power between VMs.
Active Memory Sharing, another component of PowerVM, can
intelligently flow memory from one VM to another, enabling
further resource utilization and flexibility. And, Live Partition
Mobility (LPM) enables a VM to be moved from one server
to another with virtually no impact to the applications running
inside the partition. All of these PowerVM innovations work
together to help optimize system utilization and energy savings,
improve application availability, balance critical resources and
respond to ever-changing business demands.
Clients have the flexibility to run IBM AIX® or Linux
operating systems concurrently on a Power E850 server.
AIX, IBM’s industrial-strength Unix operating system, has
delivered exceptional reliability, availability and security for
business-critical applications. IBM is firmly committed to
Linux, and PowerVM has enabled both Big Endian and
Little Endian guests, paving the way for a broader portfolio
of Linux applications to be deployed on POWER8 systems.
And, with the Power Integrated Facility for Linux (Power IFL),
now available on the Power E850, clients can deploy Linux
applications onto more-scalable, reliable Power servers with
unprecedented economic efficiency.

Optimized for the rigorous demands of enterprise
computing
IBM Enterprise Power Systems deliver fit-for-purpose technol-
ogy that optimizes workloads, data and cloud to support your
most critical business requirements and help you engage your
customers—all while providing data security, efficient manage-
ment, incredible availability and unmatched scalability.
A totally integrated approach to the design, development and
testing of each and every Power Enterprise system ensures the
resiliency required for today’s enterprise IT infrastructure. The
Power E850 server includes many hot-plug, hot-swappable,
redundant components, as well as additional, unique reliability,
availability and serviceability (RAS) features that help avoid
unplanned downtime and loss of data. The POWER8 proces-
sor and memory subsystem uses the First Failure Data Capture
mechanism for fault detection and isolation, and incorporates
advanced technology and design techniques for soft-error
avoidance. All POWER8 servers use industry-leading Chipkill
memory on custom dual in-line memory modules (CDIMMs)
that offer additional DRAM sparing and dynamic de-allocation
of memory DIMMs for predictive errors. Thermal monitoring
is integrated directly onto the POWER8 processor, with triple
redundant ambient temperature sensors.
The new 4U design of the Power E850 server provides
enhanced serviceability and phase redundant, sparing power
regulators for processors, memory and I/O. Light Path diag-
nostics provide an obvious and intuitive means to identify
failing components. Hardware failures that may have taken
hours to locate and diagnose on other systems can be detected
in minutes by system engineers and administrators, avoiding
or significantly reducing costly downtime. And Active Memory
Mirroring for Hypervisor, designed to prevent a system outage
in the event of an uncorrectable error in memory being used
by the system hypervisor, is now offered as an option on
Power E850 system configurations.
The inherent reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS)
features of POWER8 systems help to increase system
availability and enable more work to be processed with less
operational disruption. For enhanced server availability by way
of clustering, the Power E850 server supports IBM PowerHA®
SystemMirror.
Security and compliance are intrinsic to today’s business pro-
cesses, development and daily operations and should be
factored into the initial design of any IT or critical infrastruc-
ture solution, not bolted on after the fact. The Power system
architecture has security designed into each layer of the stack
from the hardware to the firmware and through the system
software. IBM PowerSC™ software enables automation of
compliance standards, including real-time alerts for compliance
violations and reporting for compliance measurement and audit.
Additional PowerSC functionality includes compliance moni-
toring for network segregation, system trust status and system
patch policy compliance.
Cloud capacity for non-disruptive growth
The Power E850 server supports significant processor, memory
and I/O scale and expansion, enabling clients to initially tailor
their system to their unique requirements, then grow by adding
additional resources over time with minimal or no disruption to
the base system.
In addition to its high-performance POWER8 processors,
a robust range of Capacity on Demand (CoD) innovation is
being extended to the Power E850 server. These CoD features
provide businesses tremendous flexibility to respond to chang-
ing business requirements and increase responsiveness. Clients
can install processors and/or memory and activate them on a
30-day trial with Trial CoD, a day-to-day basis with Elastic
CoD, only as long as required, or permanently by way of
Capacity Upgrade on Demand (CUoD). Additionally, Utility
CoD enables clients to install processors and have them
automatically activated as needed on a minute-to-minute basis.
