What is the future of Java?

I was been trying to find Java road map, especially in term of what is in store for Cloud centric development and delivery support. I agree with Paul Cook, there is good amount of development happening in areas like improving the jdk, community is coming up with frameworks, accelerators, added tools etc.,  but the issue is with core architecture which has not seen any major improvement over two decades especially when the complete IT landscape is changing due to cloud centric models.

Java 7 is meant to set the foundation for cloud centric platform, but the real cloud-ready features won't make an appearance until Java 8 in 2013 at the earliest.

Moreover I do not think pure OO development is in fashion these days. At least I do not like writing class for every dam think I need to do. I am sure there are lot of other developers who coded in languages like Python and Ruby do share the same feeling. This means language should also improve to incorporate more of dynamic and functional style of coding like lamda expressions...

Oracle's road map does little to revitalize the platform. Where are those vertical JSRs for solving cloud-specific problems? Where is the vertical API for resource sharing, state caching, cloud deployment and monitoring, Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) open management interoperability, or minimizing the number of network calls or calculations a CPU-constrained app makes? Or cloudy authentication and authorization requirements?

This raises the question… what is the future of Java, is it slowly dying? This thought makes me bit uncomfortable. I think it is time for Oracle to loosen up things for the community to development java, to help the most popular programming language to get its charm back.

Just Buzz... Where is AI?

Speaking to Recode’s Kara Swisher and MSNBC’s Ari Melber, Pichai said AI is “one of the most important things that humanity is working on. It’s more profound than, I don’t know, electricity or fire,” adding that people learned to harness fire for the benefits of humanity, but also needed to overcome its downsides, too. Pichai also said that AI could be used to help solve climate change issues, or to cure cancer. We are seeing some exciting things in the industry, Samsung’s massive 8K TVs apparently use AI to upscale lower resolution images for the big screen. Sony has created a new version of the Aibo robot dog, which this time promises more artificial intelligence. Travelmate’s robot suitcase will use AI to drive around and follow its owner wherever they go.  Kohler has invented Numi, a toilet that has Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant built in etc., But despite all this, it does leave me wondering: is artificial intelligence really what we should be calling this revolution?...

Effective Pattern Identification Model for DDoS Attack Detection

Abstract: Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are one of the major challenges to Internet community. Attackers send legitimate packets with often changing information from various compromised systems at random and at a very high frequency, rendering the target non-responsive for normal traffic. DDoS attacks are difficult to detect with traditional detection methods and standard Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). Standard IDS tries to analyze the network traffic or system logs trying to identify emerging patterns on the network traffic. But due to randomness of the package origins it is difficult segregate true, false positive and normal traffic. This paper proposes a model based on Artificial Neural Networks to identify anomalies and detect DDoS patterns. In the proposed system sets of known characteristic features, which can separate attacks from normal traffic, are fed to the system to train the Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). This self learn system improves with each n...

Machine Learning Challenges with Imbalanced Data

Abstract: Application of Machine learning algorithms to some of the real-world problems pertaining to areas, like fraud/intrusion detection, medical diagnosis/monitoring, bio-informatics, text categorization and et al. where data set are not approximately equally distributed suffer from the perspective of reduced performance. The imbalances in class distribution often causes machine learning algorithms to perform poorly on the minority class. The cost minority class mis-classification is often unknown at learning time and can be far too high. A number of technique in data sampling, predominantly over-sampling and under-sampling, are proposed to address issues related to imbalanced data without discussing exactly how or why such methods work or what underlying issues they address. This paper tries to highlight some of the key challenges related to classification of imbalanced data while applying standard classification technique. This discusses some of the prevalent methods related ...
