Katakan tidak pada rasuah
Isu atau masalah rasuah menjadi topik utama sama ada di peringkat antarabangsa mahupun di peringkat dalam negara. Pertubuhan Bangsa- bangsa Bersatu menegaskan komitmen komuniti antarabangsa bertegas untuk mencegah dan mengawal rasuah melalui buku bertajuk United Nations Convention against Corruption. Hal yang sama berlaku di Malaysia. Melalui pernyataan visi oleh mantan Perdana Menteri Malaysia, Tun Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamed memberikan indikasi bahawa kerajaan Malaysia komited untuk mencapai aspirasi agar Malaysia dikenali kerana integriti dan bukannya rasuah. Justeru, tujuan penulisan bab ini adalah untuk membincangkan rasuah dari beberapa sudut termasuk perbincangan dari sudut agama Islam, faktor-faktor berlakunya gejala rasuah, dan usaha-usaha yang dijalankan di Malaysia untuk membanteras gejala rasuah. Perkara ini penting bagi mengenalpasti penjawat awam menanamkan keyakinan dalam melaksanakan tanggungjawab dengan menghindari diri daripada rasuah agar mereka sentiasa peka mengutamakan kepentingan awam
Machine Learning at the Edge: A Data-Driven Architecture with Applications to 5G Cellular Networks
The fifth generation of cellular networks (5G) will rely on edge cloud
deployments to satisfy the ultra-low latency demand of future applications. In
this paper, we argue that such deployments can also be used to enable advanced
data-driven and Machine Learning (ML) applications in mobile networks. We
propose an edge-controller-based architecture for cellular networks and
evaluate its performance with real data from hundreds of base stations of a
major U.S. operator. In this regard, we will provide insights on how to
dynamically cluster and associate base stations and controllers, according to
the global mobility patterns of the users. Then, we will describe how the
controllers can be used to run ML algorithms to predict the number of users in
each base station, and a use case in which these predictions are exploited by a
higher-layer application to route vehicular traffic according to network Key
Performance Indicators (KPIs). We show that the prediction accuracy improves
when based on machine learning algorithms that rely on the controllers' view
and, consequently, on the spatial correlation introduced by the user mobility,
with respect to when the prediction is based only on the local data of each
single base station.Comment: 15 pages, 10 figures, 5 tables. IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computin
Proactive Highly Ambulatory Sensor Routing (PHASeR) protocol for mobile wireless sensor networks
This paper presents a novel multihop routing protocol for mobile wireless sensor networks called PHASeR (Proactive Highly Ambulatory Sensor Routing). The proposed protocol
uses a simple hop-count metric to enable the dynamic and robust routing of data towards the sink in mobile environments. It is motivated by the application of radiation mapping by unmanned vehicles, which requires the reliable and timely delivery of regular measurements to the sink. PHASeR maintains a gradient metric in mobile environments by using a global TDMA MAC layer. It also uses the technique of blind forwarding to pass messages through the network in a multipath manner. PHASeR is analysed mathematically based on packet delivery ratio, average packet delay, throughput and overhead. It is then simulated with varying mobility, scalability and traffic loads. The protocol gives good results over all measures, which suggests that it may also be suitable for a wider array of emerging applications
ENORM: A Framework For Edge NOde Resource Management
Current computing techniques using the cloud as a centralised server will
become untenable as billions of devices get connected to the Internet. This
raises the need for fog computing, which leverages computing at the edge of the
network on nodes, such as routers, base stations and switches, along with the
cloud. However, to realise fog computing the challenge of managing edge nodes
will need to be addressed. This paper is motivated to address the resource
management challenge. We develop the first framework to manage edge nodes,
namely the Edge NOde Resource Management (ENORM) framework. Mechanisms for
provisioning and auto-scaling edge node resources are proposed. The feasibility
of the framework is demonstrated on a PokeMon Go-like online game use-case. The
benefits of using ENORM are observed by reduced application latency between 20%
- 80% and reduced data transfer and communication frequency between the edge
node and the cloud by up to 95\%. These results highlight the potential of fog
computing for improving the quality of service and experience.Comment: 14 pages; accepted to IEEE Transactions on Services Computing on 12

The path inference filter: model-based low-latency map matching of probe vehicle data
We consider the problem of reconstructing vehicle trajectories from sparse
sequences of GPS points, for which the sampling interval is between 10 seconds
and 2 minutes. We introduce a new class of algorithms, called altogether path
inference filter (PIF), that maps GPS data in real time, for a variety of
trade-offs and scenarios, and with a high throughput. Numerous prior approaches
in map-matching can be shown to be special cases of the path inference filter
presented in this article. We present an efficient procedure for automatically
training the filter on new data, with or without ground truth observations. The
framework is evaluated on a large San Francisco taxi dataset and is shown to
improve upon the current state of the art. This filter also provides insights
about driving patterns of drivers. The path inference filter has been deployed
at an industrial scale inside the Mobile Millennium traffic information system,
and is used to map fleets of data in San Francisco, Sacramento, Stockholm and
Porto.Comment: Preprint, 23 pages and 23 figure
Multi-Layer Latency Aware Workload Assignment of E-Transport IoT Applications in Mobile Sensors Cloudlet Cloud Networks
These days, with the emerging developments in wireless communication technologies, such as 6G and 5G and the Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, the usage of E-Transport applications has been increasing progressively. These applications are E-Bus, E-Taxi, self-autonomous car, ETrain and E-Ambulance, and latency-sensitive workloads executed in the distributed cloud network. Nonetheless, many delays present in cloudlet-based cloud networks, such as communication delay, round-trip delay and migration during the workload in the cloudlet-based cloud network. However, the distributed execution of workloads at different computing nodes during the assignment is a challenging task. This paper proposes a novel Multi-layer Latency (e.g., communication delay, roundtrip delay and migration delay) Aware Workload Assignment Strategy (MLAWAS) to allocate the workload of E-Transport applications into optimal computing nodes. MLAWAS consists of different components, such as the Q-Learning aware assignment and the Iterative method, which distribute workload in a dynamic environment where runtime changes of overloading and overheating remain controlled. The migration of workload and VM migration are also part of MLAWAS. The goal is to minimize the average response time of applications. Simulation results demonstrate that MLAWAS earns the minimum average response time as compared with the two other existing strategies.publishedVersio
