Congrats! CSC Distinguished Engineers 2016

CSC Distinguished Engineers 2016 announced today. Congrats to these outstanding achievers

Frédéric Auberson (Switzerland) is an information systems architect in GBS where he deftly integrates innovative ideas from across the transportation and railway fields into expert architecture, systems and actions to provide the best technical solutions and implementation for our clients. He has received the 2010 CSC Chairman's Award for Excellence for his work on the Swiss Federal Railway Traffic Management System and was a 2014 CSC Award for Sales Excellence winner for Network Rail's Asset Management Programme, ORBIS.

Martin Bartlett (France) is an information systems architect in our Insurance group and chief architect for CSC's AIA insurance administration product. He is an AWS Certified Solutions Architect–Associate and domain expert in REST APIs. Outside of CSC, he’s known for the original RSS Live Links Chrome Extension, the stack engine underlying the KDE calculator, and XForms4Perl, an early UI framework for PERL. In addition, he is active in mentoring university students and interns both inside of CSC and out.

Pavel Hruby, PhD, (Denmark) is a software engineer and researcher in GBS who specializes in identifying new trends in information technologies. He is also an expert in business modeling and model-driven design using application logic patterns. Pavel is an active writer and published author, including, “Model-Driven Design Using Business Patterns,” and numerous industry articles. He also received the CSC Papers Grand Prize for "Capitalism in UML: Designing Service-Oriented Applications that Understand Your Business.” He holds three patents in the areas of configurable object definitions, business logic patterns and REA model-based security.

JP Morgenthal (United States) is a global solutions executive in the office of the CTO. He is an internationally known thought leader in the areas of IT transformation and strategy, modernization, and cloud computing. His technical expertise includes architecture, application development, infrastructure and operations, cloud computing, DevOps, and integration. JP is a published author of four trade publications, with his most recent being, “Cloud Computing: Assessing the Risks.” He is an avid and industry-recognized blogger.

Bill Ohnemus (United States) is a solution architect in Insurance who focuses on enterprise systems and package-based software with deep expertise in API development and ecosystems. He is co-founder and leader of CSC’s API community and program and is an AWS Certified Solutions Architect–Associate. He is a two-time CSC Grant awardee: the first grant was for the research paper, "Being and Effective Entrepreneur in a Cloud Ecosystem,” and the second grant focused on developing a proof of concept with Salesforce.com. He’s a recent graduate from Northwestern University with an MSIS in Information Security.

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 ...
