Big Data and Real-time Computing

 

Prof Hermann-Hessling

Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft Berlin
10313 Berlin

hessling@htw-berlin.de

 

     The computing power of processors is increasing exponentially according to Moore’s law. Over decades, mainly the increase of the clock speed ensured the raise of the power. However, this development seems to come to an end. Currently, even notebooks are provided with multi-core CPUs. But also the amount of stored data is increasing exponentially. Every day new data of the order of zettabytes are created worldwide. Traditional methods for storing and maintaining this enormous flood of data seem to be no longer sufficient anymore. The complexity of the data that are more and more distributed worldwide, will constitute a considerable challenge for their analysis. According to Alex Scalay there soon will be produced so many data that they cannot even be stored anymore. They have to be analysed in real-time. In science, these enormous developments are considered as hints of a “fourth paradigm”. In addition of the three fundamental pillars “experiment”, “theory”, and “simulation”, a fourth pillar “data-intensive science” is currently established.

     In science, measurements are becoming more and more detailed and call for storing larger and larger data sets. The analysis of the primary data is accompanied with the generation of secondary data. Primary and secondary data, together with the analysing software needs to be archived in order allow for a reanalysis later on. The different phases of a scientific life cycle are considered in the project “Large Scale Data Management and Analysis” (LSDMA). Four Helmholtz centres, six German universities (inter alia HTW Berlin), and the German Climate Computing Centre are cooperating. The LSDMA project started in 2012 and the initial phase will end on December 31st, 2016. Contrary to similar projects, LSDMA follows a dual ansatz: the research groups of five “Data Life Cycle Labs” (DLCLs)

 

• “Energy”: SmartGrids, battery research

• “Earth and Environment”: climate models and data

• “Health”: brain atlas

• “Key Technologies”: electron microscope, nanoscopy

• “Structure of Matter”: photon science, heavy ion physics

 

are supported actively in maintaining their huge amounts of data, e.g.

 

• (further) development of data formats

• connecting existing analysis tools and new storage systems

• development of new interfaces

• automatic generation of metadata.

 

     The DLCLs are complemented by a “Data Services Integration Team” (DSIT), that has the mission to provide tools, services and processes required for the uniform access to computing and storage resources. This includes access to high performance storage, replication, organization and archival of data. Uniform access regardless of the scientific discipline using the service will ensure an efficient provisioning and support for all participating datacenters.

     In the talk he introduces briefly the general challenges of “Big Data”, gives an overview of the LSDMA project and reports on recent results shown at the LSDMA spring workshop (March, 11th -12th 2013, DESY, Hamburg). Moreover, he presents the activities of his working group in real-time computing on heterogeneous networks (grid / cloud computing) which is likely to have an impact on the analysis of Big Data..

Modelling And Simulation for Archaeology -

Prehistoric Hallstatt Salt Mines Exploration

         The prehistoric salt mines of Hallstatt in Austria are the subject of great interest for archaeologists. Salt mining activities date back to 1458-1245 B.C. in the Bronze Age. A large amount of archaeological finds of technical equipment and organic materials (timber, wooden tools, strings of bast, fur etc.) and the perfect conditions of preservation in the mines due to the conserving properties of salt allow for a reconstruction of the working process in the mines. Salt was mined in underground mining chambers using special bronze picks. The resulting small pieces of salt were then collected in buckets and transported to the vertical shaft where it was hoisted to the surface using a wool sack or cloth attached to a linden bast rope (Kowarik et al. 2012).

         In collaboration between the Natural History Museum Vienna and Vienna University of Technology, modeling and simulation is used as ‘virtual experimental archeology’, in order to discuss open questions on use of mining tools and mining operation strategy. For investigations on use of mining tools, physical modeling is a very suitable approach for modeling and simulation, while for mining operation and supply strategies agent-based modeling and simulation allows interesting insights.

 

         Modelling and Simulation of Mining Tools. Rope pull systems were used to hoist the broken salt from the mining halls through shafts to the surface (see figure 1). To estimate and compare the time and strength requirements for transporting the salt, various options are investigated using simulation models. An important issue concerns modelling of the rope guide, for which we consider two possibilities, one with sliding friction on a log and one with return pulley. Evaluation of the simulation results shows a significant force requirement for the model with sliding friction, especially because of the high mass of the rope being the reason for a limitation regarding the maximum continuous shaft height.

 

         Salt was mined using bronze picks. Highly interesting is the unusual shape of the pick with a typical angle between the shaft and tip of about 55 to 75 degrees. It is believed that this particular shape was adapted to the specific working conditions in the Hallstatt mines, especially since no similar devices have been found at other at archaeological sites. The small angle does not allow typical circular hacking motion, which is why it is not yet completely clear exactly how such a pick was used. Modelling the pick as a rigid body system allows evaluation of possible movement scenarios (which result from geometrical considerations) regarding energy demand and momentum.

 

  

 

During mining, burning sticks of wood served as the only illumination in the mining halls. Burnt down woodchips were found during excavation in large quantities. The resulting light intensity by burning woodchips can be estimated by a two- dimensional discretized model of the hall. Calculations on flames’ oxygen consumption, in addition to the oxygen demand of the workers, gives information about the necessary air ventilation and maximum number of

workers in the mining halls.

 

Modelling and Simulation of Mining Strategy. Agent-Based Simulation allows to build a model of the working processes in the mine in general and in one mining hall (breaking salt, collecting salt, transporting salt to the shaft), in order to gain insights into spatial organization, allocation of tasks and workload balance and to relate the time span of mining to the size of the workforce and the amount of mined salt. A System Dynamics Simulation can then correlate the size of the workforce (population dynamics) with food consumption and demand for mining tools.

Dr Vasilis Tsoulkas

 

Center for Security Studies (KEMEA), Athens, Greece.

tsoulkas.kemea@gmail.com

 

Co-contributors:  Dimitris Kostopoulos , Vasilis Tsoulkas, George Leventakis, Prokopis Drogkaris and Viky Politopoulou.

 

Keywords: Critical Infrastructures, semantic modeling, Semantic reasoning and risk analysis, core system ontologies, stream reasoning and event processing, DST user interfaces. 

 

Our presentation is comprised of two interconnected sections: Firstly we will present results recently delivered and approved by the European Commission regarding the EC FP-7 project SERSCIS (Semantically Enhanced Resilient and Secure Critical Infrastructure Services). http://www.serscis.eu. These focus on the following issues:

 

ˇ       The SERSCIS Proof of Concept Architecture with the associated technical limitations during the initial implementation phase. In the sequel the concept and advantages of introducing in a later realization stage modern stream reasoning techniques and in particular the data processing steps in a stream reasoner for real time threat classification and estimation.

ˇ       The Semantic monitoring architecture with an emphasis on the Semantic Monitoring and Reasoning Components as well as the so called “Behavioral Analyser” capable of mapping the streaming monitoring data into semantic assertions about the presence or absence of a threat against a Critical Infrastructure.

ˇ       The Semantic Reasoning Process in combination with its sequential reasoning computational steps. 

 

 Moreover and in conjunction with the A-CDM approach (Airport – Collaborative Decision Making) which is the European Initiative for optimizing European Air Traffic Management across European airports, validation results will be provided. In this direction some asset threat cases will be analyzed for the SERSCIS Proof of Concept comprised of: Attacks - Induced behaviors – Controls.  Semantic modeling issues will be presented in conjunction with the final prototypical Decision Support Tool Interfaces. 

In the second part the recently launched Greek Cyber Security Center of Excellence will be introduced including: Its national and European dimension, it’s educational and awareness role to societal needs concerning cyber-crime as well as planned research activities and efforts related to Fast Intrusion Detection algorithms and the use of Semantics dynamic modeling approaches towards state of the art cyber – security tools.

Artificial Intelligence and Emotion from Natural System 

 

Prof Dong Hwa Kim

Department of Instrumentation and Control Engineering

Hanbat National University

Keywords: (Immune, Genetic Algorithm, Particle Swarm Optimization, and Bacterial Foraging, Its Hybrid system, and Emotion System)

 

This lecture deals with intelligent method using natural system such as immune system, genetic algorithm, particle swarm optimization, bacterial foraging, and its hybrid system and application to real system. Immune system, PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization), BF (Bacteria Foraging), and hybrid system can have strong optimization function to survive for their life.

First, this lecture describes research background about immune network based intelligent algorithm, PSO based intelligent algorithm, bacteria foraging based intelligent algorithm, and the characteristic of novel algorithm fusioned by their algorithm. This one also illustrates motivation and background that these algorithms should be applied to in the industry's automatic system.

Second, this lecture illustrates immune algorithm and applied to various plant to investigate the characteristics and possibility of application. As the detailed description, immune algorithm will described by studied material to investigate possibility of application to plant. It suggests condition for disturbance rejection control in AVR of thermal power plant and introduce first into tuning method of its controller.

In the conventional genetic algorithm, it takes a long time to compute and could not include a variety of information of plant because of using sequential computing methods. That is some problem with making a artificial intelligence for optimization. In this lecture, by means of introducing clonal selection of immune algorithm into computing procedure, it will be showed advanced results. That is, it can be calculated simultaneously necessary various information, transfer function, time constant, and etc., for plant operation condition. Therefore, computing time is about 30% shorter than that of the conventional genetic algorithm and 10.6% smaller in overshoot when it is applied to controller.

This lecture will introduce parameter estimation method by immune algorithm for obtaining model of induction motor. It will suggest immune algorithm based induction motor parameter estimation to obtain optimal value depending on load variation from these parameters.

Also, this lecture will introduce about intelligent system using GA-PSO. It will introduce Euclidean data distance to obtain fast global optimization not local optimization by means of using wide data and suggests novel hybrid system GA-PSO based intelligent tuning method that genetic algorithm and PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) is fusioned.

To prove this effectiveness, four test functions is used and results of Rosenbrock function, one of four test functions, converges at 20 generations in GA-PSO and at 40 generations in genetic algorithm, as result GA-PSO reveals faster running time than that of GA.

The suggested method is applied to tuning of automatic controller for terminal voltage regulation of AVR (automatic Voltage Regulator) of thermal power plant. Results reveal best response at 100 generations and results show 6.8331%  error in GA, 5.3828% error (78.8%: reduced) in GA-PSO, in case of overshoot. In case of steady state error, results illustrate reduced error with 0.0028% error (16.4%: reduced) with 0.0171% in GA and 0.0143% in GA-PSO. In settling time, it represents 0.557(sec) in GA and 0.3989(sec) in GA-PSO and it reduce to 0.159(sec) (28.5%) by using GA-PSO. In the case of rise time, results shows 0.2037(sec) in GA and 0.2639(sec) in GA-PSO and tuning results are better than that of conventional method.

This lecture shows novel hybrid system structured by GA-BF that firstly search wide area by GA and secondly optimize parameters precisely by BF to enhance divergence speed and optimal accuracy, and prove effectiveness of the suggested hybrid system on various test function. In Rosenbrock function, GA converges at 40generations and GA-BF has already done at 5 generations. That means the suggested hybrid system shows faster response of 35 generations. When this suggested hybrid system is applied to AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator), there is no overshoot and fast settling time. In induction motor vector PI control system, as error of speed following efficiency is  in the conventional and  in GA-BF, error by the suggested hybrid system is smaller about 18%.

However, we have some questions why we have to study not introducing emotion function because emotion function can give an impact on decision making as they mentioned earlier. So, this lecture will mention how we can research for artificial intelligence and robot by using studied materials up to now.

Especially, robots are becoming more and more ubiquitous in human environments as emerging technology for economic growth. Artificial intelligence will be decided by our ability to express effectively human’s mind such as intelligence and emotion. That is, emotion-inspired mechanisms will deal with importance for autonomous robots in a human environment, and also related works may be studied.

Of course, the cognitive component is important for perceiving and interpreting events. To implement emotion function in robot, there are several approaches to soft computing and control algorithm to control effectively robot.

However, many of them do not deal with emotion function in their soft computing algorithm. So, at this point, fusion of soft computing and emotional function should be introduced into the research method and real control system such as, robot, ICT, design, and so on.

Herein, we are going to develop the corresponding fusion algorithms or models with learning algorithms including emotion function. Next, applications of these soft computing-based AIS (Artificial Intelligence Soft computing) in driver and expression system should be considered as well as analyzed. Performance comparisons between the conventional methods and new solutions should be made for safety and real artificial intelligence.

The Inevitable ‘Simulacra and Simulation’

 

Dr Zaliman Sauli

University of Malaysia in Perils

Malaysia

zaliman@unimap.edu.my

 

 

The title above has been chosen from work by Jean Baudrillard (1981), written in French, whom was seeking to address the real reality being replaced by humans in their daily life. The advent of multiple human activities since the dawn of civilization has chiselled simulation into our daily life. This has developed to the extent where the simulated entity has been taken into reality, differentiating it would be a status of quandary. For an instance everyone or most of us have a time piece worn on the wrist, the time shown there is the simulated version representing the reality.

     Simulation has infiltrated many aspects of technology, and the advantages coupled with its importance are undeniable. Ranging from medical, biological, automotive, aeronautical, civil construction, mining, sports, management, finance, fashion, warfare, navigation, electronics niches, these are just to name a few. This cornucopia seems to be never-ending, and the catalyst is the technology advancement in each field. The level of relationship correlation is astronomical and at nano-world, this has undoubtedly stamped the inevitable simulation at every aspect of human life.

       Medical field has been one of the major beneficiary in the advent of simulation to this field. Surgical circle especially have reduced the high risk surgeries to minimal risk, realistic haptic feedback in a surgical environment simulation has brought major improvements. Delicate intrinsic surgeries have been improved drastically with the simulator training provided to the medical personals. The design and simulation of insertion tools into human body were also developed here, the stent for an example used in artery blockage reduction is one of this beneficiaries. Fittings of metal bone insertions, have to be simulated for its adaptability prior to surgical insertion. The contribution in this niche is undeniable, health industry has benefited with varied simulation works.

       The warfare ramification into complex divisions and its taste for perfect combat entity, has made simulation into an important tool. War-game and shooting trials have made this realistic simulators even to be marketed as games, tactical and entertainment manipulation. Flight simulators have perfected flying even with an airplane which has minimal aerodynamic compatibility and also the support of electronics.

       In the field of electronics, simulation has contributed immensely in major monetary savings. Material choice, process optimisation, thermal management, circuitry design, interconnection advancement, package reliability and product robustness have all been developed and simulated prior to actual production. Man-hour, material cost, process cost, equipment usage and more costing have been saved here, thus also indirectly speeding up the technology advancement.

Simulation is here to stay, the inclusiveness into human life is inevitable. We have gained at all angles of the technology advancement, and outputs to assist mankind. From the unreal to reality has been simulation’s fundamental contribution. The quote ‘for it is with the same imperialism that present-day simulators try to make the real, all the real, coincide with their simulation models’ from Simulacra and Simulation of Jean Baudrillard (1981).
