Analogical reasoning is a powerful learning tool that involves abstracting structural similarities between problems to apply solutions from known problems to new ones. The process involves developing mappings between instances and retrieving, reusing, revising, and retaining experiences. Transformational analogy transforms a previous solution by making substitutions for the new problem, while derivational analogy considers the detailed problem-solving histories to apply analogies.

Deadlocks occur when a set of blocked processes each hold resources and wait for resources held by other processes in the set, resulting in a circular wait. The four necessary conditions for deadlock are: mutual exclusion, hold and wait, no preemption, and circular wait. The banker's algorithm is a deadlock avoidance technique that requires processes to declare maximum resource needs upfront. It ensures the system is always in a safe state by delaying resource requests that could lead to an unsafe state where deadlock is possible.

TIME DIVISION MULTIPLEXING TECHNIQUE FOR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMHODECEDSIET
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) is a method of transmitting multiple signals over a single communication channel by dividing the signal into many segments, each having a very short duration of time. These time slots are then allocated to different data streams, allowing multiple signals to share the same transmission medium efficiently. TDM is widely used in telecommunications and data communication systems.
### How TDM Works
1. **Time Slots Allocation**: The core principle of TDM is to assign distinct time slots to each signal. During each time slot, the respective signal is transmitted, and then the process repeats cyclically. For example, if there are four signals to be transmitted, the TDM cycle will divide time into four slots, each assigned to one signal.
2. **Synchronization**: Synchronization is crucial in TDM systems to ensure that the signals are correctly aligned with their respective time slots. Both the transmitter and receiver must be synchronized to avoid any overlap or loss of data. This synchronization is typically maintained by a clock signal that ensures time slots are accurately aligned.
3. **Frame Structure**: TDM data is organized into frames, where each frame consists of a set of time slots. Each frame is repeated at regular intervals, ensuring continuous transmission of data streams. The frame structure helps in managing the data streams and maintaining the synchronization between the transmitter and receiver.
4. **Multiplexer and Demultiplexer**: At the transmitting end, a multiplexer combines multiple input signals into a single composite signal by assigning each signal to a specific time slot. At the receiving end, a demultiplexer separates the composite signal back into individual signals based on their respective time slots.
### Types of TDM
1. **Synchronous TDM**: In synchronous TDM, time slots are pre-assigned to each signal, regardless of whether the signal has data to transmit or not. This can lead to inefficiencies if some time slots remain empty due to the absence of data.
2. **Asynchronous TDM (or Statistical TDM)**: Asynchronous TDM addresses the inefficiencies of synchronous TDM by allocating time slots dynamically based on the presence of data. Time slots are assigned only when there is data to transmit, which optimizes the use of the communication channel.
### Applications of TDM
- **Telecommunications**: TDM is extensively used in telecommunication systems, such as in T1 and E1 lines, where multiple telephone calls are transmitted over a single line by assigning each call to a specific time slot.

A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...nooriasukmaningtyas
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.
Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
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.

This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

1 INTRODUCTION
LogPoint Nepal pvt. Ltd. is cybersecurity, data security enterprise software development
company. LogPoint is headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark, introduced its SIEM
solution to the market in 2008 called LogPoint, and has since experienced continuous
growth. The company name and product name LogPoint is same. In 2012 Series, Danish
ICT specialist investor DICO, who will remain as an investor, provided a funding. The
Company is Located at Steel Tower, third floor, Jawalakhel, Lalitpur, Nepal. It is focused
on next generation security information and event management (SIEM) and big data
analytics platform. The present CEO of this company is experienced female Nepali IT-
engineer, Mona Nyachhyon her excellence is in Scrum and Agile Software Development
at LogPoint.
First the concept of LogPoint is introduce by the TU IOE student since 2005 and Danish
investment foundation provide investment to fully implement that concept into reality.
LogPoint Software Company is popularly known by their SIEM tool, which is a high
performing, and easy-to-use solution for security information and event management
(SIEM). It major focus on Improvement, Development, Sales of the product called
LogPoint beside that other custom software is not built by it.
1.1 What is SIEM (Security Information and Event Management)?
A security information and event management (SIEM) solution is a central tool in the risk
management toolkit. A great SIEM tool allows businesses to improve threat detection and
response by providing real-time data analysis, early detection of data breaches, data
collection, data storage and accurate data reporting.
Today’s next-gen SIEM solutions enable your company to react quickly and precisely in
the event of a threat or data leak.As described in the SIEM definition above, a next-gen
SIEM solution provides management, integration, correlation, and analysis in one place,
6. 2 | P a g e
making it easier to monitor and troubleshoot the IT infrastructure in real time. Without a
SIEM solution, a security analyst must go through millions of non-comparable data stored
in “silos” for each hardware, software, and security source. In short, one can define SIEM
as a solution standing for simplicity.
1.2 Types of Cyber Attack
1.2.1 Phising Attack
Phishing email attacks are untargeted, mass emails sent to many recipients that are meant
to acquire sensitive information (e.g. password, username or bank details). With this
information, a hacker can perform a data breach. It’s difficult to spot a phishing email
because it’s disguised as a trustworthy entity that prompts a recipient to visit a malicious
website. Spear-phishing is a more targeted form of cyber An email is designed to look like
it’s been sent from a person the recipient knows or trusts. Senior management or privileged
account owners are often the target of spear-phishing attacks.
1.2.2 Insider Threats
Employees orchestrate an emerging method common in many recent data breaches,
internal cybersecurity threats. Insider threats can be unintentional (an employee who falls
victim to a phishing attack) or malicious (a disgruntled employee deliberately extracting
data). Regardless, a data breach from the inside is especially difficult to detect.
1.2.3 Denial of Service (DOS)
These cyberattacks occur when a hacker floods a website with more traffic than it can
handle. As a result, legitimate users are denied access to the services, resulting in costly
downtime of employees or users. Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks utilize a
botnet – a group of compromised computers or IoT devices. Botnets can look like
legitimate traffic, making it difficult to distinguish normal from malicious traffic.
1.2.4 Malware
Among the most common cybersecurity threats, malware refers to multiple forms of
harmful software executed when a user mistakenly downloads it. Some of the most recent
7. 3 | P a g e
cybersecurity breaches involved malware, including the ransomware attacks WannaCry
and Petya/NotPetya. Traditional malware such as viruses, Trojans and backdoors also
remain persistent.
1.2.5 Weak Credentials
Privileged accounts can be compromised when credentials are misused or reused. A hacker
can use what appears to be a legitimate web application to retrieve the credentials from an
unknowing employee. Subsequently, the hacker gains access to sensitive information and
can either breach or lock data (ransomware) for financial benefit. Especially damaging, it’s
tempting for employees to use the same password across systems. Reusing credentials on
multiple systems makes it easy for the hacker to move around in your infrastructure.
1.3 Vision Of the Company:
LogPoint main vision is to building on cybersecurity expertise, empower organization to
achieve digital transformation simpy and safely. The missions of the company are:
Accelerating their customer’s ability to safely build, manage and transform their
businesses, in a complex world.

6 IMPLEMENTATION OF AGILE SOFTWARE
DEVELOPMENT AT LOGPOINT
LogPoint is officially certifiy, uses the Agile (Scrum) software development methodology.
The company is focused on Customer satisfaction by rapid delivery of user requirements
and handle the changed requirement.
Managers make sprint for each task in which each sprint can be of 1 week - 2 weeks. The
scrum methodology at LogPoint is explain under these headings:
Roles:
There are three core roles and other auxiliary roles often regard as mediatory role.
Core Roles:
The core roles are those committed to the project in the Scrum process—they are the ones
producing the product (objective of the project). They represent the scrum team.
Product Owner:
The core role of Product owner is gather requirements of clients, Market study and research
about the new version what should it be. The Product Owner represents the stakeholders
and is the voice of the customer. He or she is Accountable for ensuring that the team
delivers value to the business. The Product Owner writes customer-centric items (typically
user stories), prioritizes them, and adds them to the product backlog.
Project Manager:
Project Manager is the head of the project handover in the organization. The main task are:
Formulate Plan
Tabulate Milestones:
o Manage number of resources to complete in given time.
16. 12 | P a g e
High Level Estimate : Prepare WBS in terms of hours.
Prioritze the work make sure that every developer, Lead architect, QA work
properly and integrately.
Team Motivation, Leading and Time Management for every task.
Development Team:
The Development Team is responsible for delivering potentially shippable product
increments at the end of each Sprint. The development team of 4-10 are choose as an unit
combine of Lead Architect, Developer, Quality Assurance team and Documentation team.
.The Development Team in Scrum is self-organizing, even though they may interface with
project management organizations (PMOs).Scrum Master Scrum is facilitated by a Scrum
Master, who is accountable for removing impediments to the ability of the team to deliver
the sprint goal/deliverables. The Scrum Master is not the team leader, but acts as a buffer
between the team and any distracting influences. A key part of the Scrum Master’s role is
to protect the Development Team and keep it focused on the tasks at hand. The role has
also been referred to as a servant-leader to reinforce these dual perspectives. The Scrum
Master differs from a Project Manager in that the latter may have people management
responsibilities unrelated to the role of Scrum Master.

17. 13 | P a g e
Meetings:
The different meetings in the scrum methodology at LogPoint explain as:
Daily Scrum:
At LogPoint, a daily scrum meeting of all the teams is held at the round table. Each day
during the sprint, a project team communication meeting occurs. This is called a daily
scrum, or the daily standup. The meeting has specific guidelines:
1. All members of the development Team come prepared with the updates for the
meeting.
2. The meeting starts precisely on time even if some development team members are
missing.
3. The meeting should happen at the same location and same time every day.
4. The meeting length is set (time boxed) to around 15 minutes
All are welcome, but normally only the core roles speak during the meeting, each team
member answers three questions:
1. What have I done since yesterday?
2. What are I plann to do today?
3. What are the hinderances/obstacles occur in that?
Any hinderances/obstacles block identified in this meeting is documented by the Scrum
Master and worked towards resolution outside of this meeting. No detailed discussions
shall happen in this meeting
Backlog grooming: Storytime
In every sprint, it is happen once. In one month maximum 8 hours Backlog grooming
happens. Main objective of that is to define exceptation criteria, and how to achieve is
discussed in it. The team should spend time during a sprint doing product backlog
grooming. This is the process of estimating the existing backlog using effort/points,
18. 14 | P a g e
refining the acceptance criteria for individual stories, and breaking larger stories into
smaller stories. Meeting does not include breaking stories into tasks. The team can decide
how many meetings are needed per week depending upon the task they are doing. The
method used at LogPoint is the planning poker.
Scrum of Scrums:
This is held each day normally after the Daily Scrum. These meetings allow clusters of
teams to discuss their work, focusing especially on areas of overlap and integration. A
designated person from each team attends. The agenda will be the same as the Daily Scrum,
plus the following four questions:
1. What has your team done since we last met?
2. What will your team do before we meet again?
3. Is anything slowing your team down or getting in their way?
4. Are you about to put something in another team’s way?
Sprint Planning meeting:
At the beginning of the sprint cycle (every 7–30 days), a “Sprint planning meeting” is held.
What work to be done is first selected. Then the Sprint Backlog is prepared that details the
time it will take to do that work, with the entire team. Identification of how much of the
work is likely to be done during the current sprint is done. At the end of a sprint cycle, two
meetings are held: the “Sprint Review Meeting” and the “Sprint Retrospective”.
Sprint review meeting:
In this meeting the work that was completed and not completed are reviewed. The
completed work is presented to the stakeholders (a.k.a. “the demo”). But incomplete work
are not demonstrated. Four-hour time limit is set up for this meeting. For backtrack what
had done to achieve milestone. This see on process focused.
19. 15 | P a g e
Sprint retrospective:
All team members reflect on the past sprint. Make continuous process improvements. Two
main questions are asked in the sprint retrospective:
1. What went well during the sprint?
2. What could be improved in the next sprint? Three-hour time limit.
This meeting is facilitated by the ScrumMaster. The no. of sprints depends on the type of
project that is being developed. The length of the project can range from a no. of days days,
weeks to months.
Project Environments:
A project has 4 environments – Development, Testing, UAT and Production.
Development Environment:
This is where the software is developed. LogPoint works as security services which are
cirtical things. Manily used as JAVA, Python for development. The selenium tool is used
for Good code clarification, clean code practice. Bit Bucket is used for version
Management.
Testing Environment:
After the application was developed to an agreed stage, it is released to the testing
environment. This is where the testers ensures the quality of the application, open bugs and
review bug fixes. The final developed code is passed from the selenium software where it
validates all organization standard to make production ready. From that the automatic
modules are dispatch and gets hosted on different particular server.
20. 16 | P a g e
User Acceptance Test Environment (UAT):
The software is then moved from internal testing to client testing. This is where the client-
testers verify the quality of the application and send issues if there are any this is also where
the client assesses the application and can request changes to better fit his requirements.
Production Environment:
This is where the application goes out to the world and become production
Agile Testing at LogPoint:
Testing is not considered a separate phase, but an integral part of software development,
along with coding. Agile teams use a "whole-team" approach to "baking quality in" to the
software product. Testers on agile teams lend their expertise in eliciting examples of
desired behavior from customers, collaborating with the development team to turn those
into executable specifications that guide coding. Testing and coding are done incrementally
and iteratively, building up each feature until it provides enough value to release to
production. Quality of Software very important. A product goes thorough various phases
of quality tests. If any software doesn't pass the quality check, it is then returned backed to
the development environment and the quality is ensured.
Jenkins tool is used to build Auto Continous Integration and Continous Deployment
(CICD). Overall process is based on Test Driven Development (TDD).

7 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM
The use and importance of data is growing exponentially at the current time. Every
organizations have huge amount of data to process. These data may be the information
about the organization or the information needed for the organization. The information
adds value to organizations, as well as, it helps organizations to survive among intensive
competition. Therefore, organizations need information for management. Management
Information System, commonly referred as MIS is basically computer systems in an
enterprise that provide information about its business operations. It's also used to refer to
the people who manage these systems. Typically, in a large corporation, "MIS" or the "MIS
department" refers to a central or centrally-coordinated system of computer expertise and
management, also including, by extension the corporation's entire network of computer
resources. Today, the term is used broadly in a number of contexts and includes (but is not
limited to): decision support systems, resource and people management applications,
project management, and database retrieval applications. MIS compound of theories of
computer science and management science. These theories build system and program
utilization. Normally, MIS are integrated systems of users and machines (computers) with
aiming to provide organizations’ information for operation, management and decision-
making. These systems use computer hardware and software. Furthermore, MIS are used
to collect and cumulate data from several sources both internal and external organization
for processing and arranging information. Therefore, executives or users can apply it for
making decision and other management.

sensitive so they have to assure that the security of information is maintained. It stores all
the business activites of the client who are using their product and analyse it and able to
predict the fraud activites held on their business process. But this information is not seen
to the internal employees. None of the employee is allowed to take the information to their
home and also the information is not stored in the personal computers. For attendance, a
finger print machine is set-up at the entrance. Employee should enter their finger on the
machine for attendance. They have their own HR management tool. It tracks how many
days employee worked, went to leave, his/her educational details, trainings conducted,
fresher to work in their organization.

9 SUGESSTION
LogPoint also consider building other software beside the current SIEM tool to
broad the company vision and its goal.
The security information and event management (SIEM) solution is a central tool
in the risk management toolkit but it can be even better if it is decentralize according
to region, or customer services to increase realiabilty and performance.
Providing cloud services can be even better if it can be integrate with Azure, AWS,
and SalesForces services.
Advice For Management:
Make the communication channel more clear and add more facilities to employees
because it gives them more reason to stick around. Give training to employees so
that they get better and will give output.
There is lot of room to improve the management style and motivate the employees
from the development team from Nepal. Somehow the developers might need to get
the training on security rather just the software development.
