The Ethics of Black Hat and White Hat SEOAsh Buckles
Utah Valley University’s Center for the Study of Ethics and its College of Technology & Computing are presenting “White Hats and Black Hats: An Ethics Conference on Computing, Search Engines and Security.” The two-hour conference, set for March 8 at 11:30 a.m. in UVU Library’s fourth-floor Lakeview room, features a keynote presentation by Ash Buckles, the president of SEO.com.
Industry researchers at Gartner announced in April 2012 that the worldwide business intelligence, analytics, and performance management software market surpassed the US$12 Billion level in 2011, a 16.4% increase over the previous year. This statistic is among many pointing to the need for both groups to apply what management guru Peter Senge proclaimed decades ago in The Fifth Discipline: the need for a learning organization. This presentation focuses on three learning areas for anyone in the business analytics profession. First, we analysts need to learn what the markets and industries are saying today. We discuss recent trends which show how analytics will shape the future. Second, we need to learn what group learning options are available. From industry conferences (such as the PASS BA Conference, and virtual PASS sessions) to free MOOCs (massive open online courses), we have more options available to improve our knowledge. Finally, we need to learn what leadership roles our groups can have. We can leverage social networks (including PASS) and social media -- both individually and as organizations -- to communicate passion.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

• Keith Gile, Forrester Research:
“We are witness to a change in BI that shifts the
emphasis away from functionally powerful tools for
power-user “producers” toward context-sensitive BI
solutions for a large community of “consumers” of
information.”
• Paul Doscher, CEO Jaspersoft:
“The big commercial tool providers can handle
performance management applications well, but left
Operational BI behind.”
• License bottleneck
• Lower-level in-house user

19. Extranet Applications - The “Beachhead” of Open Source BI?
• Technology requirements favor open source
• Pure J2EE offerings provide a better technology fit than
legacy BI technology
• Licensing requirements contradict prevailing proprietary models
• “Named user” only – doesn’t map to extranet usage
• Role-based – meaningless in extranets
• >$1,000 USD per name user – cost prohibitive
• Net/net: The “old school” BI licensing model breaks down

20. Free software for sale!
• Community-based vs. for-profit companies
• Open Source has become a business model
• Acquisition of your vendor can change the terms under
which you use OS SW
• Example: Bill Venners account of using Jive for Artima.com
• Example: Snort, Sale of Martin Roesch’s Checkpoint

23. OSBI Explosion
• There are about 25 products competing
in this space, about half of which did not
exist prior to 2005.
• Many of them will probably return to
insignificance
• Because we are so early in the maturity
cycle, it is difficult to make judgments
about who will make it.

Editor's Notes
JasperReports JasperReports is one of the oldies as well, starting in 2001. More recently a company, JasperSoft has been formed to invest in JasperReports, as well as to provide support, training and various other services. JasperSoft represents the JasperReports project in consortiums, such as Bizgres. Agata Report From their web site..."Agata Report is a Database Reporting Tool and EIS tool, MIS tool (graph generation), like Crystal Reports. Its written in PHP-GTK and allows you to edit and get SQL results from several databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, SyBase, MsSql, FrontBase, DB2, Informix and InterBase) as as PostScript, plain text, HTML, XML, PDF, or spreadsheet (CSV) formats through its graphical interface. You can also define levels, subtotals, and a grand total for the report, merge the data into a document, generate address labels, or even generate a complete ER-diagram from your database." DataVision DataVision is an Open Source Report Writer that allows drag-and-drop report design through its GUI. It is written in Java and can connect to any database supporting JDBC. OpenReports From their website... "OpenReports is a flexible open source web reporting solution that allows users to generate dynamic reports in a browser. OpenReports uses JasperReports, an excellent full featured open source reporting engine, and was developed using leading open source components including WebWork, Velocity, Quartz, and Hibernate and includes full support for JasperReports." They've recently announced OpenReports Portal Edition that blends OpenReports with the Apache Jetspeed Enterprise Portal system. Also of interest are the related projects of ObjectVisualizer and OpenReports Designer OpenRPT OpenRPT is a full featured, cross-platform SQL report writer that stores its report definitions as XML, and has a WYWIWYG report writer that can be used in stand-alone or embedded fashion. JFreeReport jFreeReport is standalone Java report library with a nice series of capabilities and a decent community around it. In January, 2006, jFreeReport became a part of the Pentaho suite.

Mondrian Mondrian is one of the oldest open source BI components, having been registered in 2001. It is also used as the OLAP engine in other open source software OLAP and BI Suite projects. JPivot JPivot is a JSP tag library supporting XMLA that provides a front-end OLAP table to the Mondrian OLAP engine, allowing typical OLAP functions such as slice-and-dice, drill-down and roll-up. gOLAP Gratis OLAP [gOLAP] has been in the planning stage since its registration on SourceForge in 2001. There are some files in the CVS, but nothing has been released. From its SourceForge description... "gOLAP is a BSD-licensed OLAP server engine and client API. It is a hypercube-based Analytical Processing engine intended for general high performance applications." PALO PALO is a recent entry to the open source software OLAP field. It's different in that it is esentially an add-in for Micorsoft Excel. PALO provides a MDDB for Excel, with future plans to allow access through other APIs as well. From their homepage... "Palo is an advanced data store for Microsoft Excel that allows you to handle large amounts of Excel data on a small number of worksheets. In addition, it also allows you to share Excel data real-time with your collegues." pocOLAP pocOLAP is a web-based, cross-tab reporting tool written in Java, that also allows for drill-down. The name comes from "poco", meaning "little" in the Italian and Spanish. (source: http://www.squidoo.com/osbi)

OpenI is a J2EE web application, by default running on Tomcat. It publishes web-based analytical reports from 3 types of data sources – OLAP servers, relational database servers, and data mining servers. It has 3 key component categories: Connectors Connectors’ job is to speak the native tongue of individual analytical data sources. For relational data sources, OpenI uses JDBC since it is well known and standardized. For OLAP data sources, OpenI uses XMLA as the standard protocol to communicate. This protocol is supported by several OLAP servers including Microsoft Analysis Services and Mondrian (an open source OLAP server). For data mining datasets, OpenI integrates with the R project , a popular open source data mining platform, using a native API called RServe . ( only XMLA is operational in the current release ) Report Definitions OpenI uses data-source specific report definition languages (RDL’s) to define and track the reports created on the platform. Wherever possible, OpenI uses existing standard RDL’s from other open source projects such as the .jrxml definition from JasperReports for relational database reports. For OLAP and data mining reports, OpenI implements its own XML-based RDL to define the report schema. By publishing this codebase into open source space, we hope that these RDL’s will become more standard (and robust) via community feedback and contribution. User Interface The UI for OpenI brings various existing public domain work into a single platform, mainly with the intent to make the platform extremely user friendly to a non-technical user. It is more designed for the “business analyst” rather than the “database developer”. For charting components and pivot table components, it heavily utilizes components from JPivot and JFreeChart , and unifies them in a single, consistent navigation framework. Realizing that analytical applications usually need to be embedded into existing enterprise portals, we are also leveraging the upcoming portlet features of JPivot to better integrate with JSR-168 compliant portals. A key UI feature of OpenI is the administrator interface where a user can create and publish new reports from existing data sources entirely via a web interface, without having to write any code or query. Also available are features like publishing in private versus public folders, customization of chart components, color palettes, etc. Security OpenI uses a form-based authentication that is integrated with the J2EE security structure, i.e. you can use any of the security realms defined in the J2EE configuration to authenticate the login. OpenI also provides integration between J2EE security and datasource security allowing the datasource to enforce fine grained data permissions. This way, user or group-specific access policies get enforced at the data source level, enabling hierarchical data access policies. For example, a user may only see the specific subset of the cube data as permitted by the OLAP security rules for their login.
The term “Business Intelligence” has only been in use for a few years. From the stone age of computing until only a few years ago, it was called “reporting”. In the late 80ies, the Information Warehouse was conceived. The idea was to leave data where it was and access it from anywhere with tools. Needless to say, this fad was short-lived. Soon thereafter, in the mid-90ies, Ralph Kimball published his first Data Warehousing book. Arguably, the concept of what we mean by Business Intelligence today was coined in those days. Data is extracted from operational systems, processed and stored in repositories especially designed for analysis. I don’t remember hearing the term Business Intelligence until a few years ago, though, around 2001. Dashboards, Key Performance Indicators and Scorecards brought Business Intelligence closer to the executive office. This trend is still happening. Only in the last year or 2, Open Source appeared in the world of Business Intelligence.
