While traditional tools and linear models offer insights, they fall short in presenting a holistic view of complex urban challenges. System dynamics (SD) models that are often utilized to provide holistic, systematic understanding of a research subject, like the urban system, emerge as valuable tools, but data scarcity and theoretical inadequacy pose challenges. The research reviews relevant papers on recent SD model applications in urban sustainability since 2018, categorizing them based on nine key indicators. Among the reviewed papers, data limitations and model assumptions were identified as ma jor challenges in applying SD models to urban sustainability. This led to exploring the transformative potential of big data analytics, a rare approach in this field as identified by this study, to enhance SD models’ empirical foundation. Integrating big data could provide data-driven calibration, potentially improving predictive accuracy and reducing reliance on simplified assumptions. The paper concludes by advocating for new approaches that reduce assumptions and promote real-time applicable models, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of urban sustainability through the synergy of big data and SD models.展开更多

Io T applications in telecom are further contributing to this data deluge. Recent advances in BDA have exposed new opportunities to get actionable insights from telecom big data. These benefits and the fast-changing BDA technology landscape make it important to investigate existing BDA applications to telecom sector. For this, we initially determine published research on BDA applications to telecom through a systematic literature review through which we filter 38 articles and categorize them in frameworks, use cases, literature reviews, white papers and experimental validations. We also discuss the benefits and challenges mentioned in these articles. We find that experiments are all proof of concepts(POC) on a severely limited BDA technology stack(as compared to the available technology stack), i.e.,we did not find any work focusing on full-fledged BDA implementation in an operational telecom environment. To facilitate these applications at research-level, we propose a state-of-the-art lambda architecture for BDA pipeline implementation(called Lambda Tel) based completely on open source BDA technologies and the standard Python language, along with relevant guidelines.We discovered only one research paper which presented a relatively-limited lambda architecture using the proprietary AWS cloud infrastructure. We believe Lambda Tel presents a clear roadmap for telecom industry practitioners to implement and enhance BDA applications in their enterprises.展开更多

But the application of Intel Xeon Phi on data analytics workloads in data center is still an open question. Phibench 2.0 is built for the latest generation of Intel Xeon Phi(KNL, Knights Landing), based on the prior work PhiBench(also named BigDataBench-Phi), which is designed for the former generation of Intel Xeon Phi(KNC, Knights Corner). Workloads of PhiBench 2.0 are delicately chosen based on BigdataBench 4.0 and PhiBench 1.0. Other than that, these workloads are well optimized on KNL, and run on real-world datasets to evaluate their performance and scalability. Further, the microarchitecture-level characteristics including CPI, cache behavior, vectorization intensity, and branch prediction efficiency are analyzed and the impact of affinity and scheduling policy on performance are investigated. It is believed that the observations would help other researchers working on Intel Xeon Phi and data analytics workloads.展开更多

Therefore, the first step of data analytics deals with identifying data requirements, mainly how the data should be grouped or labeled. For example, for data about Cybersecurity in organizations, grouping can be done into categories such as DOS denial of services, unauthorized access from local or remote, and surveillance and another probing. Next, after identifying the groups, a researcher or whoever carrying out the data analytics goes out into the field and primarily collects the data. The data collected is then organized in an orderly fashion to enable easy analysis;we aim to study different articles and compare performances for each algorithm to choose the best suitable classifies.展开更多

Flash floods can create blue spots;areas where transport networks (roads, tunnels, bridges, passageways) and other engineering structures within them are at flood risk. The economic and social impact of flooding revealed that the damage caused by flash floods leading to blue spots is very high in terms of dollar amount and direct impacts on people’s lives. The impact of flooding within blue spots is either infrastructural or social, affecting lives and properties. Currently, more than 16.1 million properties in the U.S are vulnerable to flooding, and this is projected to increase by 3.2% within the next 30 years. Some models have been developed for flood risks analysis and management including some hydrological models, algorithms and machine learning and geospatial models. The models and methods reviewed are based on location data collection, statistical analysis and computation, and visualization (mapping). This research aims to create blue spots model for the State of Tennessee using ArcGIS visual programming language (model) and data analytics pipeline.展开更多

文摘Lately,the Internet of Things(IoT)application requires millions of structured and unstructured data since it has numerous problems,such as data organization,production,and capturing.To address these shortcomings,big data analytics is the most superior technology that has to be adapted.Even though big data and IoT could make human life more convenient,those benefits come at the expense of security.To manage these kinds of threats,the intrusion detection system has been extensively applied to identify malicious network traffic,particularly once the preventive technique fails at the level of endpoint IoT devices.As cyberattacks targeting IoT have gradually become stealthy and more sophisticated,intrusion detection systems(IDS)must continually emerge to manage evolving security threats.This study devises Big Data Analytics with the Internet of Things Assisted Intrusion Detection using Modified Buffalo Optimization Algorithm with Deep Learning(IDMBOA-DL)algorithm.In the presented IDMBOA-DL model,the Hadoop MapReduce tool is exploited for managing big data.The MBOA algorithm is applied to derive an optimal subset of features from picking an optimum set of feature subsets.Finally,the sine cosine algorithm(SCA)with convolutional autoencoder(CAE)mechanism is utilized to recognize and classify the intrusions in the IoT network.A wide range of simulations was conducted to demonstrate the enhanced results of the IDMBOA-DL algorithm.The comparison outcomes emphasized the better performance of the IDMBOA-DL model over other approaches.
文摘Big Data applications face different types of complexities in classifications.Cleaning and purifying data by eliminating irrelevant or redundant data for big data applications becomes a complex operation while attempting to maintain discriminative features in processed data.The existing scheme has many disadvantages including continuity in training,more samples and training time in feature selections and increased classification execution times.Recently ensemble methods have made a mark in classification tasks as combine multiple results into a single representation.When comparing to a single model,this technique offers for improved prediction.Ensemble based feature selections parallel multiple expert’s judgments on a single topic.The major goal of this research is to suggest HEFSM(Heterogeneous Ensemble Feature Selection Model),a hybrid approach that combines multiple algorithms.The major goal of this research is to suggest HEFSM(Heterogeneous Ensemble Feature Selection Model),a hybrid approach that combines multiple algorithms.Further,individual outputs produced by methods producing subsets of features or rankings or voting are also combined in this work.KNN(K-Nearest Neighbor)classifier is used to classify the big dataset obtained from the ensemble learning approach.The results found of the study have been good,proving the proposed model’s efficiency in classifications in terms of the performance metrics like precision,recall,F-measure and accuracy used.
文摘The information gained after the data analysis is vital to implement its outcomes to optimize processes and systems for more straightforward problem-solving. Therefore, the first step of data analytics deals with identifying data requirements, mainly how the data should be grouped or labeled. For example, for data about Cybersecurity in organizations, grouping can be done into categories such as DOS denial of services, unauthorized access from local or remote, and surveillance and another probing. Next, after identifying the groups, a researcher or whoever carrying out the data analytics goes out into the field and primarily collects the data. The data collected is then organized in an orderly fashion to enable easy analysis;we aim to study different articles and compare performances for each algorithm to choose the best suitable classifies.
文摘Climate change and global warming results in natural hazards, including flash floods. Flash floods can create blue spots;areas where transport networks (roads, tunnels, bridges, passageways) and other engineering structures within them are at flood risk. The economic and social impact of flooding revealed that the damage caused by flash floods leading to blue spots is very high in terms of dollar amount and direct impacts on people’s lives. The impact of flooding within blue spots is either infrastructural or social, affecting lives and properties. Currently, more than 16.1 million properties in the U.S are vulnerable to flooding, and this is projected to increase by 3.2% within the next 30 years. Some models have been developed for flood risks analysis and management including some hydrological models, algorithms and machine learning and geospatial models. The models and methods reviewed are based on location data collection, statistical analysis and computation, and visualization (mapping). This research aims to create blue spots model for the State of Tennessee using ArcGIS visual programming language (model) and data analytics pipeline.
