A Workflow Scheduling Algorithm for Reducing Data Transfers in Cloud IaaS

The cloud IaaS easily offers to have homogeneous multi-core machines (whether they are "bare metal" machines or virtual machines).On each of these machines, there can be highperformance input-output SSD disks.That allows to distribute the files produced during the execution of the workflow to different machines in order to minimize the additional costs associated with transferring these files.In this paper, we propose a scheduling algorithm called WSRDT (Workflow Scheduling Reducing Data Transfers) whose purpose is to minimize the makespan (execution time) of data-intensive workflows by reducing transfers data between dependent tasks on the network.Intermediate files produced by tasks are stored locally on the disk of the machine where the tasks were executed.We experimentally verify that the increase in the number of cores per machine reduces the additional cost due to data transfers on the network.Experiences with a veritable workflow show those advantages of the algorithms presented.Data-driven scheduling significantly reduces the execution time and the volume of data transferred on the network, our approach outperforms one of the best state-of-the-art algorithms that we have adapted with our hypotheses.

Anthropology, Art and Design as Collaborative Agents of Change for a Sustainable Future: The Give a Shit Project as Case Study

This chapter discusses the Give a Shit project as a case study of innovative collaboration, a model of engaged action that researchers can offer society with planned and clearly articulated outcomes and benefits. The discussion presented points to the important role of collaborative approaches for a sustainable future, such as those between anthropologists and designers in the emerging field of design anthropology. Engagement of different creative narratives and a collaborative approach should lead anthropological research from the beginning to the end. The Give a Shit project advocates for the engagement of science, research and gathered facts in applied results, bringing them closer to society and different stakeholders. Anthropological ethnographic research and the field of design show shared interests in research subjects. In both disciplines, the main interest and focus of the research is gathered around individuals, society and behavioural attitudes.

Haze removal in outdoor images

Digital cameras are used in various scenarios; however, the sharpness of images captured outdoors may be reduced due to bad weather conditions such as fog and haze. Therefore, to obtain a clear image, it is essential to remove haze. In this study, we propose a haze removal method by separating the sky and foreground regions and applying different processes to the sky region because it has different features from the foreground region; this improves the visibility of the image. We assume that the sky region is a bright region that does not change much throughout the image and extract multiple sky region candidates, which are merged according to color distance. Next, we estimate atmospheric light and transmittance of haze. Atmospheric light is the light scattered in the entire image, and transmittance of haze is the amount of scattered light. The sky region determines the brightness of atmospheric light, and the impression of the entire image determines the color of the atmospheric light. Transmittance of haze is estimated by dark channel features and morphological operations. The conventional method uses a fixed-sized patch due to which a smooth transmission map may not be generated. Our method generates a smooth transmission map for any image by changing the patch size. The haze in the image is removed using the estimated atmospheric light and transmittance; however, the resulting image is dark for which brightness correction is performed and a clean image without haze is obtained.

Web Security in "Digital Prison" Management

In the prison system, it's important to organize effective operational management using digital transformations and interdisciplinary relations, taking into account the social, psychological and legal aspects of systemic processes.It's important to preserve and develop the emergent properties of the system and to build evolutionary paths, based on synergistic principles of management.The issue of security, including web resources and access to them, is also relevant for penal institutions and prisons.IT-infrastructure should be formed and modernized, which not only ensures security, but also allows prisoners to increase the potential of subsequent socialization in society, educational potential.The management of such processes is complicated not by the systemicity of approaches, uncertainty or redundancy in the system.There are communication barriers, emotional barriers and deliberate use of malicious new technologies.This study describes the approaches and principles for a systematic analysis of the manageability and security of prison web resources, and the model and procedure for this task.
The effects of autonomous contracting on inter-organisational relationships: A process model of trust, social capital and value co-creation

Engaging in relationships with other organisations through the deployment of autonomous technologies offers a substantial improvement for the efficiency by ensuring that the inter-organisational business processes are better scheduled, coordinated, executed, and monitored. One manifestation of this trend is autonomous contracting, also known as blockchain-based smart contracting, which enables an autonomous execution of pre-defined digital agreements. However, little is known about how such technologies influence firms’ relational resources such as trust and social capital that aid the conduct of social affairs, and subsequently affect performance. This study therefore investigated the social processes and the outcomes of inter-organisational relationships in the autonomous contracting settings through semi-structured interviews (N = 25) with executives of firms that either use the technology or facilitate its implementation. The findings revealed the conducive effect of autonomous contracting for value-co-creation by the firms. The findings also revealed that autonomous contracting facilitates co-creation of value through enabling system trust and enhancing social capital. The study contributes to the inter-organisational relationship literature and our understanding of how interfirm relationships can evolve in the autonomous contracting settings.

Identifying Factors Affecting Freshman Students’ Academic Performance in Mai-Nefhi College of Science, Eritrea

Due to various factors freshman students are exposed to academic failures, which leaves a black spot on their mind and destroys their ardent hope and good expectations of parents. Bearing this in mind, the present study was conducted to identify the major factors that affect freshman students’ academic performance in Mai-Nefhi College of Science. A sample (N=155) of freshman students both with high and low GPA were recruited through stratified random sampling. A self-developed questionnaire was then distributed among freshman students. The data analysis employed descriptive statistics, Chi-square test of independence and multi-variable logistic regression model. Twenty-three covariates were tested for their effects on students’ academic performance. Based on the test of association, eight covariates were then selected for modeling multi-variable logistic regression. The tests of associations then indicated that demographic variables of marital status and responsibility at home had a statistically significant effect, whereas variables of brother/sister at college and father education show a marginally significant effect on students’ academic performance. From the personal factors, variables of matriculation score and class attendance had a statistically significant effect on students’ academic performance. Besides, study variables of social media, matriculation score and way of assessment had a significant effect on the performance of freshman students. Furthermore, the logistic regression model showed that a total of 63.3% variability in the academic performance of the students was explained by the eight study variables. Keywords: Freshman students; Academic performance; Demographic factors; Personal factors; Environmental factors; Social Media and Economic factors
BARRIERS TO EFFECTIVE COMUNICATION IN AN ORGANISATION: A CASE OF SELECTED MULTINATIONAL COMPANY IN MALAYSIA

Communication effectiveness has been one of important factors in daily life covering workplaces, relationships, and all sorts of human interaction. As a workplace or even learning centres, any organisation shall need to practise good and effective communication, from within and outside organisation, to achieve its goals. Many researchers have developed and shared various theories, models and frameworks with regards to this topic of interest due to its cruciality to be achieved and practised. However, communication is a very broad subject and is affected by many internal and external factors. The internal and external factors may both refer to communication barriers, which could be a stimulus, a situation or even an object that may hinder or prohibit any part of a communication process making it harder for messages to be encoded and decoded precisely by parties involved. The purpose of this research is to investigate the factors influencing effective communication in an organisation. This research is a qualitative research that used questionnaires as the instrument for collection of data. The data was collected and viable at 77% out of 69 respondents which was derived from the total population of 90 elements. Sample selection was based on a non-probability approach. The data collected was then evaluated by using Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) through which numerous tests were converged such as reliability test, normality test, frequency distribution, descriptive analysis and multiple regression analysis. The results indicated that organisational environment affects effective communication more than language and culture do.&#x0D; Keywords: Effective Communication, Organisation, Cultural Studies
