Big Data and Fast Data - big and fast combined, is it possible?Guido Schmutz
Big Data (volume) and real-time information processing (velocity) are two important aspects of Big Data systems. At first sight, these two aspects seem to be incompatible. Are traditional software architectures still the right choice? Do we need new, revolutionary architectures to tackle the requirements of Big Data. This presentation discusses the idea of the so-called lambda architecture for Big Data, which acts on the assumption of a bisection of the data-processing: in a batch-phase a temporally bounded, large dataset is processed either through traditional ETL or MapReduce. In parallel, a real-time, online processing is constantly calculating the values of the new data coming in during the batch phase. The combination of the two results, batch and online processing is giving the constantly up-to-date view. This talk presents how such an architecture can be implemented using Oracle products such as Oracle NoSQL, Hadoop and Oracle Event Processing.
3D printing is gaining more and more momentum to build
customized product in a wide variety of fields. We con-
duct an exploratory study of Thingiverse, the most popular
Website for sharing user-created 3D design les, in order to
establish a possible connection with software product line
(SPL) engineering. We report on the socio-technical aspects
and current practices for modeling variability, implementing
variability, configuring and deriving products, and reusing
artefacts. We provide hints that SPL-alike techniques are
practically used in 3D printing and thus relevant. Finally,
we discuss why the customization in the 3D printing eld
represents a challenging playground for SPL engineering.
Anonymization of data using mapreduce on cloudeSAT Journals
Abstract In computer world cloud services are provided by the service providers. The user wants to share the private data which are stored in cloud server for different reasons like data mining, data analysis etc. These can bring the privacy concern. Privacy preservation can be satisfied by Anonymizing data sets through generalization to satisfy privacy requirements by using k-anonymity technique which is a widely used type of privacy preserving techniques. At present days the data of cloud applications are increasing their scale day by day concern with Big Data trend. So it is very difficult thing to accept, manage, maintain and process the large scaled data with-in the required time stamps. Thus for privacy preserving on privacy sensitive , large scaled data is very difficult task for existing anonymization techniques because they will not manage the scaled data sets. This approach addresses the anonymization problem on large scale cloud data sets using two phase top down specialization approach and MapReduce framework. Innovative MapReduce jobs are carefully designed in both phases of this technique to achieve specialization computation on scalable data sets. Scalability and efficiency of Top Down Specialization (TDS) is significantly increased over the existing approach.

Augmenting Healthcare by Supporting General Practitioners and Disclosing Hea...Robin De Croon
Slides used during my public PhD defence at KU Leuven on June 23, 2017.
This PhD explores, designs, develops and evaluates a suite of information visualization tools for understanding, exploring, explaining and disclosing health information. This toolset is aimed at both general practitioners and patients and is driven by three underlying research goals: augmenting traditional practitioners’ workflows, boosting patient empowerment, and investigating novel opportunities in devices for supporting communication and collaboration between practitioners and patients.
A Proof-of-Concept Visualization to Increase Comprehension of Personal Medica...Robin De Croon
In this paper, we investigate how information visualization techniques can be leveraged to increase patient comprehension of personal medication schemes in order to make it easier for them to explore, explain and understand drug information. Using computer vision techniques, our solution is able to recognize medication boxes, or so-called pharmaceutical packages, which are laid on an ordinary table. A projector visualizes drug information such as interactions, adverse drug reactions, intolerances and the dosage regimen around corresponding boxes. Five prototypes are designed and evaluated following a user-centered, rapid-prototyping methodology. Test participants in our study included both general practitioners (GPs) and patients. Results are promising and clearly indicate that information visualization techniques are an effective means to explore and understand drug information. Even if this system was originally envisaged to be used as a means to improve `therapy dialogue' between GPs and their patients during consultations, our results show that both GPs and patients think it would be highly beneficial if patients were able to use the system at home.
Design and evaluation of an interactive proof-of-concept dashboard for genera...Robin De Croon
Targeted follow-up meetings in general practice are important and missed often, because of both patient and general practitioners (GPs) related reasons. In this paper, we present a proof-of-concept interactive visualization dashboard that provides GPs with a powerful, yet easy to use method to identify those patients in need of follow-up. We applied a user centered, rapid prototyping methodology with 12 information visualization students and 15 GPs. We evaluated the final design using the evaluation framework by O’Leary et al., as well as a System Usability Scale questionnaire. Results indicate that there is indeed a need for a follow-up tool and that a dashboard is a right kind of tool. Our proof-of-concept shows useful insights into patient records and can indeed help GPs recognize patients in need of follow-up. The major strengths of the design are the ease with which GPs can query patient records using interactive visualizations, such as parallel coordinates, and the ability to check if the number of patients diagnosed with certain diseases differs from the amount predicted in evidence-based guidelines.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
