Volume, Issue, Month, Year : 11, 06, May, 2021
Abstract :
The Occupational Information Network O*NET did not explore possible uses of O*NET data to inform workforce readiness certification programs. In this study, the O*NET database is used to map out education requirements and how they relate to professional certifications as required by the employers and job designers in accordance with the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Careers and Studies (NICCS). The search focuses on the “Information Security Analysts” occupation as listed on O*NET, Careeronestop, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), and finally tied back to NICCS source work role to identify certifications requirements. No site has listed any certification as required, desirable or mandatory. NICCS under the NICE Cybersecurity Framework Work Roles offered general guidance to potential topics and areas of certification. Careeronestop site under certification finder provided the ultimate guidance for this role certification. Professional certifications are still not an integral part of the Cybersecurity Workforce Framework official guidance.

A NEW LIDAR-BASED APPROACH FOR POLES AND DISTRIBUTION LINES DETECTION AND MODELLING
Author : Mohamed Gaha
Affiliation : Hydro-Quebec Research Institute, Quebec
Country : Canada
Category : Computer Science & Information Technology
Volume, Issue, Month, Year : 11, 06, May, 2021
Abstract :
Vegetation is the major cause of overhead power line failures. According to a recent HydroQuebec analysis, more than 60% of the power outages are related to vegetation. Specifically, when branches/trees nearby the distribution network interact with extreme weather conditions, e.g., melting snow and heavy rain, they may bend and cause power outages. To ensure the reliability of our distribution network, millions of dollars are yearly spent for pruning trees and trimming branches. Aiming to reduce these costs, we recently adopted a new approach based on light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data. Indeed, we scanned 150 km of Hydro-Quebec’s network using a mobile LiDAR system. Through data analysis, we target automatic detection of hot spots, i.e., locations of threatening branches to distribution lines. However, such an operation cannot be accurately completed without a prior efficient detection of poles and lines locations, even for incomplete or missing LiDAR data. Hence, we propose here a low-complex and robust method for poles/distribution lines detection and lines modelling. Through customized filtering and detection, we efficiently detect poles and distribution lines with high accuracy and recall. Indeed, poles are detected with an accuracy of 94.5% and a recall of 89.7%, while lines are detected with an accuracy of 84% and a recall of 98.9%. Finally, our approach reconstructs power lines with a distance deviation from the real ones below 20 cm, in 89% of the cases. Such accuracy is required to automatically evaluate the closeness of vegetation to distribution lines and prevent power outages.

Affiliation : University of West Attica
Country : Greece
Category : Networks & Communications
Volume, Issue, Month, Year : 13, 5, September, 2021
Abstract :
A new era in ICT has begun with the evolution of Next Generation Networks (NGNs) and the development of human-centric applications. Ultra-low latency, high throughput, and high availability are a few of the main characteristics of modern networks. Network Providers (NPs) are responsible for the development and maintenance of network infrastructures ready to support the most demanding applications that should be available not only in urban areas but in every corner of the earth. The NP’s must collaborate to offer high- quality services and keep their overall cost low. The collaboration among competitive entities can in principle be regulated by a trusted 3rd party or by a distributed approach/technology which can guarantee integrity, security, and trust. This paper examines the use of blockchain technology for resource management and negotiation among NPs and presents the results of experiments conducted in a dedicated real testbed.

IOT-BDMS: SECURING IOT DEVICES WITH HYPERLEDGER FABRIC BLOCKCHAIN
Author : Nathalie BANOUN
Affiliation : Department of Research and Innovation, Capgemini
Country : France
Category : Computer Science & Information Technology
Volume, Issue, Month, Year : 11, 06, May, 2021
Abstract :
IoT is a rapidly evolving field with an increasing number of connected devices. This naturally leads to a need to ensure good scalability but also to guarantee the identity of devices, for better security. Most of existing solutions for identifying IoT devices are centralized (CA server), which results in lower fault tolerance and in less scalability. To address these issues, we introduce in this paper a new IoT Device Management System based on the Blockchain technology (IoT-BDMS). Our system offers two services through two Smart Contracts deployed on a multi-channel Hyperledger Fabric network: an Identification Smart Contract (ISC) to manage the devices identities stored over multiple channels, and an Authentication Smart Contract (ASC) to validate authentication requests from devices. An identity is generated by involving the actors of the device’s ecosystem and evolves according to the device’s lifecycle.
Keyword : Blockchain, IoT Security, Hyperledger Fabric, Smart Contracts, Authentication.

Affiliation : Technical University of Chemnitz
Country : Germany
Category : Computer Science & Information Technology
Volume, Issue, Month, Year : 11, 06, May, 2021
Abstract :
This paper describes a test and case study of self-evaluation of online courses during the pandemic time. Due to the Covid-19, the whole world needs to sit on lockdown in different periods. Many things need to be done in all kinds of business including the education sector of countries. To sustain the education development teaching methods had to switch from traditional face-to-face teaching to online courses. The government made decisions in a short time and educational institutions had no time to prepare the materials for the online teaching. All courses of the Mongolian University of Pharmaceutical Sciences switched to online lessons. Challenges were raised before professors and tutors during online teaching. Our university did not have a specific learning management system for online teaching and e-learning. Therefore professors used different platforms for their online teaching such as Zoom, Microsoft teams for instance. Moreover, different social networking platforms played an active role in communication between students and professors. The situation is very difficult for professors and students. To measure the quality of online courses and to figure out the positive and weak points of online teaching we need an evaluation of e-learning. The focus of this paper is to share the evaluation process of e-learning based on a structure-oriented evaluation model.

Country : Eswatini
Category : Computer Science & Information Technology
Volume, Issue, Month, Year : 11, 06, May, 2021
Abstract :
The Coronavirus pandemic 2019 (COVID-19) is hastily spreading, bringing pressure and challenges to international students in higher education institutions who were locked down on campus during the COVID-19 outbreak. We sought to explore psychological experiences of international higher education students during the COVID-19 pandemic in Eswatini. A qualitative phenomenological approach was adopted. Participants were 15 conveniently selected international higher education students who were locked down on Campus from March 20 to September 25, 2020. The interviews were conducted face to face. Data were thematically analysed. The study was informed by the ecological systems theory. The psychological experiences of international higher education students during COVID-19 pandemic were categorized in to four themes. Frist negative emotions present in early stages involving discomfort, anxiety and helplessness caused by isolation, fear and concern for safety. Second self-coping strategies included psychological and life adjustments, social distancing, acceptance of wearing of masks, hand sanitizing and online learning. Third we reported growth under the crisis which included affection for family members, peers and self-reflection. Finally, we reported that positive emotions occurred concurrently with negative emotions. During the COVID-19 crisis positive and negative emotions of international higher education students intertwined and co-occurred. Self-coping strategies and psychological growth played a crucial role in maintaining mental health of the students. The international students in higher education were resilient in coping with the COVID-19 crisis and lockdown situation which enhanced their participation in online learning

Volume, Issue, Month, Year : 11, 05, April, 2021
Abstract :
The rapid spread of COVID-19 has already affected human lives throughout the globe. Governments of different countries have taken various measures, but how they affected people lives is not clear. In this study, a rule-based and a machine-learning based models are applied to answer the above question using public tweets from Japan, USA, UK, and Australia. Two polarity timeseries (meanPol and pnRatio) and two events, namely “lockdown or emergency (LED)” and “the economic support package (ESP)”, are considered in this study. Statistical testing on the sub-series around LED and ESP events showed their positive impacts to the people of (UK and Australia) and (USA and UK), respectively unlike Japanese people that showed opposite effects. Manual validation with the relevant tweets shows an agreement with the statistical results. A case study with Japanese tweets using supervised logistic regression classifies tweets into heath-worry, economy-worry and other classes with 83.11% accuracy. Predicted tweets around events re-confirm the statistical outcomes.

Category : Computer Science & Information Technology
Volume, Issue, Month, Year : 11, 05, April, 2021
Abstract :
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced much of the academic world to transition into online operations and online learning. Interactions between the teachers and students are carried out via online video conferencing software where possible. All video conferencing software available today is designed for general usage and not for classroom teaching and learning. In this study, we analyzed the features and effectiveness of more than a dozen major video conferencing software that are being used to replace the physical face-to-face learning experiences. While some of the video conferencing software has pause feature but none allow annotation and segmentation of the recording. We propose tagging and annotation during the live streaming to improve direct access to any portion of the recorded video. We also propose automatic segmentation of the video based on the tagging so that the video is short, targeted, and can easily be identified.
