The document discusses three laws of trusted data sharing based on research in software engineering quality prediction. The first law is to only share the essential "corners" of the data rather than all data. The second law is to anonymize the data in the corners before sharing. The third law is never to mutate the data across important "decision boundaries". The research found that building models from a small percentage of shared and privatized data in this way produced better results than using all the original raw data. The author plans to apply these laws of data sharing to other domains like smart cities and healthcare to investigate the costs and benefits of data sharing.
GALE: Geometric active learning for Search-Based Software EngineeringCS, NcState
Multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) help software engineers find novel solutions to complex problems. When automatic tools explore too many options, they are slow to use and hard to comprehend. GALE is a near-linear time MOEA that builds a piecewise approximation to the surface of best solutions along the Pareto frontier. For each piece, GALE mutates solutions towards the better end. In numerous case studies, GALE finds comparable solutions to standard methods (NSGA-II, SPEA2) using far fewer evaluations (e.g. 20 evaluations, not 1,000). GALE is recommended when a model is expensive to evaluate, or when some audience needs to browse and understand how an MOEA has made its conclusions.
Science has escaped the lab and is roaming free in the world. People use software to understand the world . What tools are needed to support that work?
As we move into a new era of ITSM computing, new big data and machine learning tools and methodologies are being developed to support IT staff by intelligently extracting insights and making predictions from the enormous amounts of data accumulated from the organization. According to Gartner, I&O leaders must take a comprehensive approach to incorporate advanced big data and machine learning technologies into their organizations or risk becoming irrelevant. But what exactly is big data and machine learning all about? How can you introduce these concepts into your existing Service Desk?
Join USF’s distinguished Computer Science and Engineering Professor Lawrence Hall and SunView Software’s VP of Marketing and Product Strategy John Prestridge as they break down the fundamentals of big data and machine learning and provide real-world examples of the impact the technologies will have on ITSM.

Data Science in the Real World: Making a Difference Srinath Perera
We use the terms “Big Data” and “Data Science” for use of data processing to make sense of the world around us. Spanning many fields, Big Data brings together technologies like Distributed Systems, Machine Learning, Statistics, and Internet of Things together. It is a multi-billion-dollar industry including use cases like targeted advertising, fraud detection, product recommendations, and market surveys. With new technologies like Internet of Things (IoT), these use cases are expanding to scenarios like Smart Cities, Smart health, and Smart Agriculture.
These usecases use basic analytics, advanced statistical methods, and predictive technologies like Machine Learning. However, it is not just about crunching the data. Some usecases like Urban Planning can be slow, and there is enough time to process the data. However, with use cases like traffic, patient monitoring, surveillance the the value of results degrades much faster with time and needs results within milliseconds to seconds. Collecting data from many sources, cleaning them up, processing them using computation clusters, and doing all these fast is a major challenge.
This talk will discuss motivation behind big data and data science and how it can make a difference. Then it will discuss the challenges, systems, and methodologies for implementing and sustaining a data science pipeline.
This talk presents areas of investigation underway at the Rensselaer Institute for Data Exploration and Applications. First presented at Flipkart, Bangalore India, 3/2015.
Agile Data Science is a lean methodology that is adopted from Agile Software Development. At the core it centers around people, interactions, and building minimally viable products to ship fast and often to solicit customer feedback.

Project Jupiter https://jupyter.org/ evolved from IPython notebooks, and now supports a wide variety of programming language back-ends. Notebooks have proven to be effective tools used in Data Science, providing convenient packages for what Don Knuth coined as "literate programming" in the 1980s: code plus exposition in markdown. Results of running the code appear in-line as interactive graphics -- all packaged as collaborative, web-based documents. Some have said that the introduction of cloud-based notebooks is nearly as large of a fundamental change in software practice as the introduction of spreadsheets.
O'Reilly Media has been considering the question, "What comes after books and video?" Or, as one might imagine more pointedly, what comes after Kindle? To that point we have collaborated with Project Jupyter to integrate notebooks into our content management process, allowing authors to generate articles, tutorials, reports, and other media products as notebooks that also incorporate video segments. Code dependencies are containerized using Docker, and all of the content gets managed in Git repositories. We have added another layer, an open source project called Thebe that provides a kind of "media player" for embedding the containerized notebooks into web pages

Data about software projects is not stored in metrc1, metric2,…,
but is shared between them in some shared, underlying,shape.
Not every project has thesame underlying simple shape; many projects have different,

In the age of Big Data, what role for Software Engineers?CS, NcState
ABSTRACT:
Consider the premise of Big Data:
better conclusions = same algorithms + more data + more cpu
If this were always true, then there would be no role for human analysts
that reflected over the domain to offer insights that produce better solutions
(since all such insight is now automatically generated from the CPUs).
This talk proposes a marriage of sorts between Big Data and software
engineering. It reviews over a decade of work by the author in exploring
user goals using CPU-intensive methods. It will be shown that analyst-insight was
useful from building “better" tools (where “better” means generate
more succinct recommendations, runs faster, scales to much larger problems).
The conclusion will be that in the age of big data, human analysis is still
useful and necessary. But a new kind of software engineering analyst is required- one
that know how to take full advantage of the power of Big Data.

Hybrid optimization of pumped hydro system and solar- Engr. Abdul-Azeez.pdffxintegritypublishin
Advancements in technology unveil a myriad of electrical and electronic breakthroughs geared towards efficiently harnessing limited resources to meet human energy demands. The optimization of hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems plays a pivotal role in utilizing natural resources effectively. This initiative not only benefits humanity but also fosters environmental sustainability. The study investigated the design optimization of these hybrid systems, focusing on understanding solar radiation patterns, identifying geographical influences on solar radiation, formulating a mathematical model for system optimization, and determining the optimal configuration of PV panels and pumped hydro storage. Through a comparative analysis approach and eight weeks of data collection, the study addressed key research questions related to solar radiation patterns and optimal system design. The findings highlighted regions with heightened solar radiation levels, showcasing substantial potential for power generation and emphasizing the system's efficiency. Optimizing system design significantly boosted power generation, promoted renewable energy utilization, and enhanced energy storage capacity. The study underscored the benefits of optimizing hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems for sustainable energy usage. Optimizing the design of solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems as examined across diverse climatic conditions in a developing country, not only enhances power generation but also improves the integration of renewable energy sources and boosts energy storage capacities, particularly beneficial for less economically prosperous regions. Additionally, the study provides valuable insights for advancing energy research in economically viable areas. Recommendations included conducting site-specific assessments, utilizing advanced modeling tools, implementing regular maintenance protocols, and enhancing communication among system components.

-Shweta Ambekar

Institution:
VIIT Pune, India
Abstract:
This paper proposes a system to differentiate between human-generated and AI-generated texts using stylometric analysis. The system analyzes text files and classifies writing styles by employing various clustering algorithms, such as k-means, k-means++, hierarchical, and DBSCAN. The effectiveness of these algorithms is measured using silhouette scores. The system successfully identifies distinct writing styles within documents, demonstrating its potential for plagiarism detection.
Introduction:
Stylometry, the study of linguistic and structural features in texts, is used for tasks like plagiarism detection, genre separation, and author verification. This paper leverages stylometric analysis to identify different writing styles and improve plagiarism detection methods.
Methodology:
The system includes data collection, preprocessing, feature extraction, dimensional reduction, machine learning models for clustering, and performance comparison using silhouette scores. Feature extraction focuses on lexical features, vocabulary richness, and readability scores. The study uses a small dataset of texts from various authors and employs algorithms like k-means, k-means++, hierarchical clustering, and DBSCAN for clustering.
Results:
Experiments show that the system effectively identifies writing styles, with silhouette scores indicating reasonable to strong clustering when k=2. As the number of clusters increases, the silhouette scores decrease, indicating a drop in accuracy. K-means and k-means++ perform similarly, while hierarchical clustering is less optimized.
Conclusion and Future Work:
The system works well for distinguishing writing styles with two clusters but becomes less accurate as the number of clusters increases. Future research could focus on adding more parameters and optimizing the methodology to improve accuracy with higher cluster values. This system can enhance existing plagiarism detection tools, especially in academic settings.
Online aptitude test management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The purpose of on-line aptitude test system is to take online test in an efficient manner and no time wasting for checking the paper. The main objective of on-line aptitude test system is to efficiently evaluate the candidate thoroughly through a fully automated system that not only saves lot of time but also gives fast results. For students they give papers according to their convenience and time and there is no need of using extra thing like paper, pen etc. This can be used in educational institutions as well as in corporate world. Can be used anywhere any time as it is a web based application (user Location doesn’t matter). No restriction that examiner has to be present when the candidate takes the test.
Every time when lecturers/professors need to conduct examinations they have to sit down think about the questions and then create a whole new set of questions for each and every exam. In some cases the professor may want to give an open book online exam that is the student can take the exam any time anywhere, but the student might have to answer the questions in a limited time period. The professor may want to change the sequence of questions for every student. The problem that a student has is whenever a date for the exam is declared the student has to take it and there is no way he can take it at some other time. This project will create an interface for the examiner to create and store questions in a repository. It will also create an interface for the student to take examinations at his convenience and the questions and/or exams may be timed. Thereby creating an application which can be used by examiners and examinee’s simultaneously.
Examination System is very useful for Teachers/Professors. As in the teaching profession, you are responsible for writing question papers. In the conventional method, you write the question paper on paper, keep question papers separate from answers and all this information you have to keep in a locker to avoid unauthorized access. Using the Examination System you can create a question paper and everything will be written to a single exam file in encrypted format. You can set the General and Administrator password to avoid unauthorized access to your question paper. Every time you start the examination, the program shuffles all the questions and selects them randomly from the database, which reduces the chances of memorizing the questions.
HEAP SORT ILLUSTRATED WITH HEAPIFY, BUILD HEAP FOR DYNAMIC ARRAYS.
Heap sort is a comparison-based sorting technique based on Binary Heap data structure. It is similar to the selection sort where we first find the minimum element and place the minimum element at the beginning. Repeat the same process for the remaining elements.
Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.

Sachpazis:Terzaghi Bearing Capacity Estimation in simple terms with Calculati...Dr.Costas Sachpazis
Terzaghi's soil bearing capacity theory, developed by Karl Terzaghi, is a fundamental principle in geotechnical engineering used to determine the bearing capacity of shallow foundations. This theory provides a method to calculate the ultimate bearing capacity of soil, which is the maximum load per unit area that the soil can support without undergoing shear failure. The Calculation HTML Code included.

2. • Discussions about
sharing
• Too much fear
• Not enough about
benefits
• Can we learn more from
sharing that hoarding ?
• Yes (results from SE)
• Three laws of trusted data
sharing:
• For SE quality prediction..
• Better models from shared
privatized data that from all raw
data
• Q: does this work for other
kinds of data?
• A: don’t know… yet

3. Why We Care…
– Sebastian Elbaum et al. 2014
Sharing industrial datasets
with the research community
is extremely valuable, but
also extremely challenging as
it needs to balance the
usefulness of the dataset with
the industry’s concerns for
privacy and competition.
S. Elbaum, A. Mclaughlin, and J. Penix, “The google dataset of testing results,” june 2014. [Online].

4. Cost of privacy
- Privacy Goals (conflicting)
• protect confidentiality of software defect data
with privacy preserving techniques...
• while data remains useful
- Not trivial
• With standard anonymization methods
• as privacy increases...
• data becomes less useful

5. Building a business case
for data sharing
• Funded by NC Data Science and
Analytics Initiative
• Joint project with Prof. Bojan Cukic,
UNC Charlotte
• Applying the following to data from
– The smart cities initiative
– Community health care data
– Biometrics data
• Q1: What do you lose by not sharing?
– Compare conclusions seen with via sharing or via
hoarding?
• Q2: Does anonymization protect us?
– Using standard privatization algorithms:
– Can we violate privacy on data from Smart Cities,
Community health, Biometrics
• Q3: Are we protecting data too much
– Using standard privatization algorithms:
– How worse off are our models?
• Q4: Do costs of sharing out-weight
benefits?
– Apply our novel “3 laws of data sharing” and see
what what can be learned?
– Check of learned models not very useful,
interesting

11. Sure, software sometimes fails
(at may do so at the worst time)
• E.g. software floating
point bug, Ariane 5, 1996
• Cost of vehicle: $500 million
• Development cost: $7 billion
• Loss of income due to loss of
client confidence: unknown
•

14. According to the maths, software is
too complex to understand
• 1024 stars in the sky
• NV states in software
– Consider 100 if statements
– Then N=2, V=100 and NV=2100
– a million times more than 1024
• The space inside our software
– is bigger than stars in the sky.

N =#tests
required
C= odds bug found
P= Probability of bug
Complex things
should not work
C = 1 – (1-p)N so
N = log(1-C)/log(1-p)
16. Yet (often)
they do
• Examples:
– Open source
software
– The internet
– Electrical power grids
– Pace makers
– International air
traffic control
systems
– Operating systems
– Etc
– etc

point bug, Ariane 5, 1996
• Cost of vehicle: $500 million
• Development cost: $7 billion
• Loss of income due to loss of
client confidence: unknown
• But puzzle is this:
– These errors should be much more frequent
– So where is all that missing behavior?

18. When reasoning about complex things,
you don’t have to look at very much
• Narrows: Amarel 1960s
• Prototypes: Chen 1975
• Frames: Minsky, 1975
• Min environments: DeKleer, 1986
• Saturation: Horgan & Mathur: 1980
• Homogenous propagation: Michael: 1981
• Master variables: Crawford & Baker, 1995
• Clumps, Druzdel, 1997
• Feature subset section, Kohavi, 1997,
• Back doors, Williams, 2002
• Active learning: many people (2000+)

19. Specifically, for “transfer learning”
(migrating conclusions from one project to another)
19
Q: How to transfer ?
A: Ignore most of the data
• relevancy filtering:
Turhan ESEj’09; Peters TSE’13
• variance filtering:
Kocaguneli TSE’12,TSE’13
• performance similarities:
He ESEM’13
Target domain: software quality prediction
20. Ignoring data = privacy?

26. Too much pruning?
• For SE quality data no
– Vasil 213:
• Quality by extrapolating between the rows of the
corners
• Just as good as using all the data
• The “corners” are the nub, the essence
– Without any superfluous detail removed

37. Better models from shared privatized
data that from all raw data
• Simulated 20 data owners sharing
privatized data
– “pass the parcel”
• Data owners incrementally added
their data to a parcel of shared
data
– but only data that was somehow
outstandingly different to data
already in the parcel
• Data was privatized
– using corners
– before leaving each data owner)
• Shared parcel :
– just 5% of all data
• Software quality predictors built
from this 5%,
– predictors performed better than
predictors built from all that data.
