Social Media and Privacy - National Conference, Australian Computer Society

Mining Oil and Gas Jobs

Social media platforms like Facebook were designed to encourage sharing and connecting people, but this has led to erosion of privacy norms. On social media, conversations are public by default and users must take active steps to make posts private. Further, once information is posted online it can be difficult to remove permanently and is at risk of being indexed and identified by data brokers. To help protect privacy, users should be aware that whatever they post could be publicly visible indefinitely, refrain from auto-posting or geo-tagging, and carefully review privacy settings on social media accounts.

Social Networks

sandrahezro

Social networking sites allow people to build social networks and connect with others who share interests. Some of the most popular social networks today include Facebook, Google, and Twitter, though in the past MySpace and Hi5 were dominant. Social networks have evolved over the last 10 years and grown more addictive through new apps and mobile access. Key characteristics of social networks include being user-based, interactive, community-driven, focused on relationships, and prioritizing emotional connections over content. Emerging trends include the rise of social mobile use and increased social sharing of ideas and opinions. Social networks have become ingrained in modern life.

This document summarizes a presentation about research conducted on the online community Everything2.com. The presentation covered 3 studies: 1. A study of how user tenure relates to participation patterns over time. It found that short-term users were more likely to delete early write-ups and submitting a second write-up increased chances of long-term participation. 2. A study predicting future content contributions using metrics like new write-ups, deleted write-ups, messages, and abandoned accounts. It found it could predict contributions with over 90% accuracy. 3. A proposed study of habitual use of online communities, examining how behaviors become automatic over time based on theories of habit and socio-cognition.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject. We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup. Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved. The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring. The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise. By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data Warehouse

Federico Razzoli

Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you. A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services. But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts. We will discuss these topics: - How to gather information about a business; - Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities; - Dimensions and facts; - Setting a table granularity; - Types of facts; - Types of dimensions; - Snowflakes and how to avoid them; - Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

5th Power Grid Model Meet-up It is with great pleasure that we extend to you an invitation to the 5th Power Grid Model Meet-up, scheduled for 6th June 2024. This event will adopt a hybrid format, allowing participants to join us either through an online Mircosoft Teams session or in person at TU/e located at Den Dolech 2, Eindhoven, Netherlands. The meet-up will be hosted by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a research university specializing in engineering science & technology. Power Grid Model The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services. Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability. Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization. What to expect For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned: -Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model. -An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024. -An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests. -An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.
