There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one. I remember first hearing about it at school. It seemed an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.

Usually familiarity dulls this sense of the bizarre, but in the case of i it was the reverse: over the years the sense of its surreal nature intensified. It seemed that it was impossible to write mathematics that described the real world in …

THE DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF EXPERIMENTS. By Oscar Kempthorne. New York, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., 1952. 631 pp. $8.50. This book by a teacher of statistics (as well as a consultant for \"experimenters\") is a comprehensive study of the philosophical background for the statistical design of experiment. It is necessary to have some facility with algebraic notation and manipulation to be able to use the volume intelligently. The problems are presented from the theoretical point of view, without such practical examples as would be helpful for those not acquainted with mathematics. The mathematical justification for the techniques is given. As a somewhat advanced treatment of the design and analysis of experiments, this volume will be interesting and helpful for many who approach statistics theoretically as well as practically. With emphasis on the \"why,\" and with description given broadly, the author relates the subject matter to the general theory of statistics and to the general problem of experimental inference.

Complex network measures of brain connectivity: uses and interpretations.

The paradigm of edge computing has formed an innovative scope within the domain of the Internet of Things (IoT) through expanding the services of the cloud to the network edge to design distributed architectures and securely enhance decision-making applications. Due to the heterogeneous, distributed and resource-constrained essence of edge Computing, edge applications are required to be developed as a set of lightweight and interdependent modules. As this concept aligns with the objectives of microservice architecture, effective implementation of microservices-based edge applications within IoT networks has the prospective of fully leveraging edge nodes capabilities. Deploying microservices at IoT edge faces plenty of challenges associated with security and privacy. Advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) (especially Machine Learning), and the easy access to resources with powerful computing providing opportunities for deriving precise models and developing different intelligent applications at the edge of network. In this study, an extensive survey is presented for securing edge computing-based AI Microservices to elucidate the challenges of IoT management and enable secure decision-making systems at the edge. We present recent research studies on edge AI and microservices orchestration and highlight key requirements as well as challenges of securing Microservices at IoT edge. We also propose a Microservices-based edge computing framework that provides secure edge AI algorithms as Microservices utilizing the containerization technology to offer automated and secure AI-based applications at the network edge.

Scheduling in Parallel Computing Systems

Large-scale distributed computing systems (LDSs), such as grids and clouds are primarily designed to provide massive computing capacity. These systems dissipate often excessive energy to both power and cool them. Concerns over greening these systems have prompted a call for scheduling policies with energy awareness (e.g., energy proportionality). The dynamic and heterogeneous nature of resources and tasks in LDSs is a major hurdle to be overcome for energy efficiency when designing scheduling policies. In this paper, we address the problem of scheduling tasks with different priorities (deadlines) for energy efficiency exploiting resource heterogeneity. Specifically, our investigation for energy efficiency focuses on two issues: (1) balancing the workload in the way utilization is maximized and (2) power management by controlling execution of tasks on processor for ensuring the energy is optimally consumed. We form a hierarchical scheduler that exploits the multi-core architecture for effective scheduling. Our scheduling approach exploits the diversity of task priority for proper load balancing across heterogeneous processors while observing energy consumption in the system. Simulation experiments prove the efficacy of our approach, and the comparison results indicate our scheduling policy helps improve energy efficiency of the system.
