Abstract: With development of the information technology, the scale of data is increasing quickly. The massive data poses a great challenge for data processing and classification. In order to classify the data, there were several algorithm proposed to efficiently cluster the data. One among that is the random forest algorithm, which is used for the feature subset selection. The feature selection involves identifying a subset of the most useful features that produces compatible results as the original entire set of features. It is achieved by classifying the given data. The efficiency is calculated based on the time required to find a subset of features, the effectiveness is related to the quality of the subset of features. The existing system deals with fast clustering based feature selection algorithm, which is proven to be powerful, but when the size of the dataset increases rapidly, the current algorithm is found to be less efficient as the clustering of datasets takes quiet more number of time. Hence the new method of implementation is proposed in this project to efficiently cluster the data and persist on the back-end database accordingly to reduce the time. It is achieved by scalable random forest algorithm. The Scalable random forest is implemented using Map Reduce Programming (An implementation of Big Data) to efficiently cluster the data. In works on two phases, the first step deals with the gathering the datasets and persisting on the datastore and the second step deals with the clustering and classification of data. This process is completely implemented using Google App Engine’s hadoop platform, which is a widely used open-source implementation of Google's distributed file system using MapReduce framework for scalable distributed computing or cloud computing. MapReduce programming model provides an efficient framework for processing large datasets in an extremely parallel mining. And it comes to being the most popular parallel model for data processing in cloud computing platform. However, designing the traditional machine learning algorithms with MapReduce programming framework is very necessary in dealing with massive datasets.Keywords: Data mining, Hadoop, Map Reduce, Clustering Tree.

MCE GeoProcessing Services for ADM(IE): Self Validation of Spatial Data Input...Safe Software
The Department of National Defence (DND) is developing a central repository for land, building, and infrastructure data. This a joint project between the Assistant Deputy Minister Infrastructure and Environment (ADMIE) and the Mapping and Charting Establishment (MCE). This project involves managing DND real property and other spatial data provided by DND bases and wings across Canada through a unique, integrated and standardized Real Property Spatial Data Warehouse (RPSDW), hosted at MCE, containing a SQL Server database. Data provided by DND bases and wings must meet standards defined and documented by ADMIE, in terms of data formats accepted (GeoMedia MDB, ArcGIS FGDB, MapInfo MIF or AutoCAD SDF), geometry, schema and attribute data types, domains and accepted values for each feature class. An FME workspace and an equivalent tool contained within an ArcGIS Data Interoperability Toolbox were created to provide the geotechs from DND Bases using ArcGIS Data Interoperability or FME Desktop with a toolset, delivered together with a user’s guide, that allows them to perform a self-validation of the DND real property and other spatial data before these data is sent to MCE to be loaded into the RPSDW SQL Server database.

Data mining model for the data retrieval from central server configurationijcsit
A server, which is to keep track of heavy document traffic, is unable to filter the documents that are most
relevant and updated for continuous text search queries. This paper focuses on handling continuous text
extraction sustaining high document traffic. The main objective is to retrieve recent updated documents
that are most relevant to the query by applying sliding window technique. Our solution indexes the
streamed documents in the main memory with structure based on the principles of inverted file, and
processes document arrival and expiration events with incremental threshold-based method. It also ensures
elimination of duplicate document retrieval using unsupervised duplicate detection. The documents are
ranked based on user feedback and given higher priority for retrieval.

Assessment Briefing to Students
Learning Outcomes of this Assessment
A2 - show awareness of a variety of graphics toolkits and select an appropriate one for a given task
A3 - discuss the capabilities of various input and output devices and their relationship to graphics programming
A4 - use appropriate mathematics to perform standard graphical transformations
A5 - application of graphics programming skills in a real-world application
Key Skills to be Assessed
C/C++ programming
Use of OpenGL API
Application of low level graphics principles & data management techniques for developing interactive graphics application
Critical Evaluation of tools used
The Assessment Task
Your task is to demonstrate your newly acquired skills in C and OpenGL programming. This will be achieved by producing a
demonstration application that will offer a simple visualisation comprising a collection of discrete objects located in a navigable
space. Fundamental to the successful completion of this assignment is careful consideration of the management of scene data,
using resizable dynamic memory structures, and the application of appropriate mathematical models for simulation, navigation and
interaction.
The form of this assignment will be a basic solar system simulation in which a dynamic collection of planetary bodies will be
simulated. These bodies will be represented by simple graphical forms and have the ability to show a historical trail of their
movement. The bodies motion should be defined by a simple gravitational system simulation which calculates forces based on the
masses of the bodies and uses this to derive discrete step changes to acceleration and velocity.Inital starting conditions for the
planetary bodies should be random (mass, position, starting velocity and material (colour)). Advanced solutions should consider the
actions taking place when collisions between bodies occur. In these cases the collision should be detected. The mass and
velocities of the bodies should be combined (thereby removing one of the bodies from the data structure) with the major body
taking priority. Ideally the size of the resultant body should be changed to reflect the enhanced mass. You should also provide
mechanisms to add bodies during the runtime of the simulation (based on random data) both at user request and to maintain a set
number of bodies in the system.
Assessment Title : Computer Graphics Assignment 1: OpenGL Programming - Solar System
Module Title : Computer Graphics
You are provided with an example solution to evaluate and a template project, including a maths library, camera model and basic
utilities as a starting point.
The implementation of the assignment problem will be assessed in the following areas
1. Design and implementation of a suitable dynamic data structure that will maintain an ordered list of the render-able objects with
facilities to add and remove entit.

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.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

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).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
