Efficient classification using parallel and scalable compressed model and Its application on intrusion detection
In order to achieve high efficiency of classification in intrusion detection,
a compressed model is proposed in this paper which combines horizontal
compression with vertical compression. OneR is utilized as horizontal
com-pression for attribute reduction, and affinity propagation is employed as
vertical compression to select small representative exemplars from large
training data. As to be able to computationally compress the larger volume of
training data with scalability, MapReduce based parallelization approach is
then implemented and evaluated for each step of the model compression process
abovementioned, on which common but efficient classification methods can be
directly used. Experimental application study on two publicly available
datasets of intrusion detection, KDD99 and CMDC2012, demonstrates that the
classification using the compressed model proposed can effectively speed up the
detection procedure at up to 184 times, most importantly at the cost of a
minimal accuracy difference with less than 1% on average
Parallel Processing of Large Graphs
More and more large data collections are gathered worldwide in various IT
systems. Many of them possess the networked nature and need to be processed and
analysed as graph structures. Due to their size they require very often usage
of parallel paradigm for efficient computation. Three parallel techniques have
been compared in the paper: MapReduce, its map-side join extension and Bulk
Synchronous Parallel (BSP). They are implemented for two different graph
problems: calculation of single source shortest paths (SSSP) and collective
classification of graph nodes by means of relational influence propagation
(RIP). The methods and algorithms are applied to several network datasets
differing in size and structural profile, originating from three domains:
telecommunication, multimedia and microblog. The results revealed that
iterative graph processing with the BSP implementation always and
significantly, even up to 10 times outperforms MapReduce, especially for
algorithms with many iterations and sparse communication. Also MapReduce
extension based on map-side join usually noticeably presents better efficiency,
although not as much as BSP. Nevertheless, MapReduce still remains the good
alternative for enormous networks, whose data structures do not fit in local
memories.Comment: Preprint submitted to Future Generation Computer System

The devices high data reporting rates present major computational challenges in the requirement to process potentially massive volumes of data, in addition to new issues surrounding data storage. Fast algorithms capable of processing massive volumes of data are now required in the field of power systems. This paper presents a novel parallel detrended fluctuation analysis (PDFA) approach for fast event detection on massive volumes of PMU data, taking advantage of a cluster computing platform. The PDFA algorithm is evaluated using data from installed PMUs on the transmission system of Great Britain from the aspects of speedup, scalability, and accuracy. The speedup of the PDFA in computation is initially analyzed through Amdahl's Law. A revision to the law is then proposed, suggesting enhancements to its capability to analyze the performance gain in computation when parallelizing data intensive applications in a cluster computing environment
