GEO-REPLICATION IN A REVIEW OF LATENCY AND COST-EFFECTIVENESS
Replication is a data distribution technique for synchronization between databases so that data remains consistent. Replication can overcome data loss problems and perform system recovery quickly if a problem occurs on one of the servers. One of the problems is when a natural disaster occurs at the server location. As a result, if you do not have data replication in different locations, it will cause the system to not run and possibly lose data. Then, geo-replication can reduce latency because the distance between the client and the data center is much closer. The application of geo-replication in general replicates data in all data centers. As a result, the cost of implementation is high because it requires a lot of resources. Because of the various advantages and disadvantages in its application, it is necessary to group geo-replication techniques to make it easier for researchers and technicians to adjust as needed. Therefore, this paper surveys the articles on Geo-replication techniques to implement cost-effectiveness and latency. The articles surveyed included a method for selecting replication sites, a method for reducing round trip time, a method according to data type, and selecting a leader to determine which server node to use. The results of the article survey show that implementing geo-replication for cost-effectiveness is more suitable for use in systems where all users do not need to access all data. Meanwhile, low latency is more suitable for systems used by various types of users. This paper can utilize the techniques that have been reviewed to overcome the problem of cost-effectiveness and latency in implementing Geo-replication
Techniques intelligentes pour la gestion de la cohérence des Big data dans le cloud
Cette thèse aborde le problème de cohérence des données de Bigdata dans le cloud. En effet, nos recherches portent sur l’étude de différentes approches de cohérence adaptative dans le cloud et la proposition d’une nouvelle approche pour l’environnement Edge computing. La gestion de la cohérence a des conséquences majeures pour les systèmes de stockage distribués. Les modèles de cohérence
forte nécessitent une synchronisation après chaque mise à jour, ce qui affecte considérablement les performances et la disponibilité du système. À l’inverse, les modèles à faible cohérence offrent de meilleures performances ainsi qu’une meilleure disponibilité des données. Cependant, ces derniers modèles peuvent tolérer trop d’incohérences temporaires sous certaines conditions. Par conséquent, une stratégie
de cohérence adaptative est nécessaire pour ajuster, pendant l’exécution, le niveau de cohérence en fonction de la criticité des requêtes ou des données. Cette thèse apporte deux contributions. Dans la première contribution, une analyse comparative des approches de cohérence adaptative existantes est effectuée selon un ensemble de critères de comparaison définis. Ce type de synthèse fournit à l’utilisateur/chercheur une analyse comparative des performances des approches existantes. De plus, il clarifie la pertinence de ces approches pour les systèmes cloud candidats. Dans la seconde contribution, nous proposons MinidoteACE, un nouveau système adaptatif de cohérence qui est une version améliorée de Minidote, un système de cohérence causale pour les applications Edge. Contrairement à Minidote qui ne fournit que la cohérence causale, notre modèle permet aux applications d’exécuter également des requêtes avec des garanties de cohérence plus fortes. Des évaluations expérimentales montrent que le débit ne diminue que de 3,5 % à 10 % lors du remplacement d’une
opération causale par une opération forte. Cependant, la latence de mise à jour augmente considérablement pour les opérations fortes jusqu’à trois fois pour une charge de travail où le taux des opérations de mise à jour est de 25 %
Women in Artificial intelligence (AI)
This Special Issue, entitled "Women in Artificial Intelligence" includes 17 papers from leading women scientists. The papers cover a broad scope of research areas within Artificial Intelligence, including machine learning, perception, reasoning or planning, among others. The papers have applications to relevant fields, such as human health, finance, or education. It is worth noting that the Issue includes three papers that deal with different aspects of gender bias in Artificial Intelligence. All the papers have a woman as the first author. We can proudly say that these women are from countries worldwide, such as France, Czech Republic, United Kingdom, Australia, Bangladesh, Yemen, Romania, India, Cuba, Bangladesh and Spain. In conclusion, apart from its intrinsic scientific value as a Special Issue, combining interesting research works, this Special Issue intends to increase the invisibility of women in AI, showing where they are, what they do, and how they contribute to developments in Artificial Intelligence from their different places, positions, research branches and application fields. We planned to issue this book on the on Ada Lovelace Day (11/10/2022), a date internationally dedicated to the first computer programmer, a woman who had to fight the gender difficulties of her times, in the XIX century. We also thank the publisher for making this possible, thus allowing for this book to become a part of the international activities dedicated to celebrating the value of women in ICT all over the world. With this book, we want to pay homage to all the women that contributed over the years to the field of AI

EVA London 2022: Electronic Visualisation and the Arts
The Electronic Visualisation and the Arts London 2022 Conference (EVA London 2022) is co-sponsored by the Computer Arts Society (CAS) and BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT, of which the CAS is a Specialist Group. Of course, this has been a difficult time for all conferences, with the Covid-19 pandemic. For the first time since 2019, the EVA London 2022 Conference is a physical conference. It is also an online conference, as it was in the previous two years. We continue with publishing the proceedings, both online, with open access via ScienceOpen, and also in our traditional printed form, for the second year in full colour. Over recent decades, the EVA London Conference on Electronic Visualisation and the Arts has established itself as one of the United Kingdom’s most innovative and interdisciplinary conferences. It brings together a wide range of research domains to celebrate a diverse set of interests, with a specialised focus on visualisation. The long and short papers in this volume cover varied topics concerning the arts, visualisations, and IT, including 3D graphics, animation, artificial intelligence, creativity, culture, design, digital art, ethics, heritage, literature, museums, music, philosophy, politics, publishing, social media, and virtual reality, as well as other related interdisciplinary areas.
The EVA London 2022 proceedings presents a wide spectrum of papers, demonstrations, Research Workshop contributions, other workshops, and for the seventh year, the EVA London Symposium, in the form of an opening morning session, with three invited contributors. The conference includes a number of other associated evening events including ones organised by the Computer Arts Society, Art in Flux, and EVA International. As in previous years, there are Research Workshop contributions in this volume, aimed at encouraging participation by postgraduate students and early-career artists, accepted either through the peer-review process or directly by the Research Workshop chair. The Research Workshop contributors are offered bursaries to aid participation. In particular, EVA London liaises with Art in Flux, a London-based group of digital artists. The EVA London 2022 proceedings includes long papers and short “poster” papers from international researchers inside and outside academia, from graduate artists, PhD students, industry professionals, established scholars, and senior researchers, who value EVA London for its interdisciplinary community. The conference also features keynote talks. A special feature this year is support for Ukrainian culture after its invasion earlier in the year. This publication has resulted from a selective peer review process, fitting as many excellent submissions as possible into the proceedings.
This year, submission numbers were lower than previous years, mostly likely due to the pandemic and a new requirement to submit drafts of long papers for review as well as abstracts. It is still pleasing to have so many good proposals from which to select the papers that have been included. EVA London is part of a larger network of EVA international conferences. EVA events have been held in Athens, Beijing, Berlin, Brussels, California, Cambridge (both UK and USA), Canberra, Copenhagen, Dallas, Delhi, Edinburgh, Florence, Gifu (Japan), Glasgow, Harvard, Jerusalem, Kiev, Laval, London, Madrid, Montreal, Moscow, New York, Paris, Prague, St Petersburg, Thessaloniki, and Warsaw. Further venues for EVA conferences are very much encouraged by the EVA community. As noted earlier, this volume is a record of accepted submissions to EVA London 2022. Associated online presentations are in general recorded and made available online after the conference

Interpreting Code Enforcement Complaint by Complaint: A Hermeneutic Phenomenological Experience in Document Analysis
The current hermeneutic phenomenological study was completed to provide direction for the content analysis of code enforcement complaint documents by municipal code enforcement agencies. This hermeneutic interpretive research was conducted using qualitative content analysis of greater than 500 code enforcement complaint documents submitted to a municipal code enforcement agency over 12 months. The phenomenological research was guided by the following research questions: 1.What indicators are identified by content analysis in a complaint document received from the community of shareholders of a municipal code enforcement agency? 2. What manner of delivery of a complaint document is most frequently exercised by the shareholders of a municipal code enforcement agency? 3. What may the frequency of violations recognized in complaint documents inform a municipal government of a community and its needs? 4. How may a municipal government advance the results of a content analysis of code enforcement complaint documents towards promoting improvements in a community? The theories of symbolic interactionism and Actor-Network Theory (ANT) were used within the methodological paradigms of hermeneutics and phenomenology to understand the function and experience of a complaint document within the code enforcement system and its shareholders. The findings of this research identify how the content analysis of code enforcement complaints can reveal and prioritize the needs, threats, and trends that impact a community and lead to municipal programs that focus on those community issues with collaborative conflict resolution programs that can improve the sense of community for its shareholders, its government and the field of conflict resolution
