IEEE-Dayton Section Computer Society
Meeting
Solving “Big
Data” Business Problems with High Performance Computing
ATE:
Tuesday, May 15, 2012
TIME:
11:30-12:30 PM
TOPIC: Data mining and large-scale data analytics
SPEAKER: John Holt, LexisNexis
PLACE: InfoSciTex 4027 Colonel Glenn Hwy, Suite 210
Dayton, OH 45431-1672 Just West of intersection with
National Rd/Grange Hall Rd, in Signal Hill TechneCenter
(building 4027 is the left-most of the 3 buildings)
RSVP: Dave Perez, david.c.perez@computer.org
or (937) 904-5486.
Pizza and soft drinks provided for $3/person - RSVP
(Name, e-mail, phone, citizenship, IEEE member?, Computer
Society member?, pizza?) required. Meeting open
to all.
Large scale data analytics can be used to solve real
business problems. Several data mining case studies
will be presented:
- Mining relationships in property transactions
to discover mortgage fraud,
- Mining relationships in firewall and system data
to discover advanced persistent threats, and
- Mining accident report data to discover insurance
fraud.
The Open Source solution from HPCC (High Performance
Computing Cluster) Systems is compared and contrasted
to the Hadoop Open Source solution for large scale
data mining and data analytics. The impact of the
use of a data centric declarative language for the
HPCC Systems platform versus the use of an imperative
language for the Hadoop platform is central to the
comparison of the two platforms.

Over-the-horizon radar uses reflections
of electro-magnetic radiation off of the ionosphere
to extend range of detection. Current systems use a
system of nearly co-located transmitters and receivers
to pro-duce low-resolution images. Better resolution
could potentially be obtained from multiple input/output
imaging systems. The theory for such systems has been
developed for free-space environments; the present work
incorporates a model of the ionosphere as a dispersive
horizontal surface. We develop a lin-earized imaging
theory that combines the spatial, temporal, and spectral
components of multiply scat-tered waves.
We consider the case of multiple fixed
sensors viewing a distribution of multiple moving ob-jects
after being reflected of the dispersive reflector. We
use a priori information about the target scene and
multipath background of interest. We arrive at a solution
to the forward scattering problem by employ-ing an image
method and using a stationary phase approximation in
order to arrive at a data model de-pendent on sensor
positions, take-off angle, and time of arrival.
We form an image using a modification
of a tomographic, filtered backprojection method that
produces a phase-space im-age. We analyze the image
via a multi-dimensional point-spread function and we
identify how the imag-ing system reacts to parameters
such as frequency, number of sensors, and wave path.
We demonstrate, through example, that enhanced phase-space
resolution for a distribution of stationary targets,
in the pres-ence of a dispersive reflector, may be achieved
via a tomographic approach with a priori knowledge about
the wave path and the nature of the multipath scattering.

IEEE Smart Tech Metro
Area Workshop series
is coming to Detroit
on 7-8 September, 2012.
The two-day intensive workshop will be held
at the Best Western PLUS Sterling Inn Banquet & Conference
Center in Sterling Heights, Michigan. Smart Tech Workshops
offer parallell, all-day track sessions that allow attendees
to immerse themselves in a given technology. Attendees may
choose one full-day track on each day of IEEE Smart Tech.
Some tracks are repeated to accommodate schedules and ensure
you won't miss anything. IEEE Smart Tech Metro Area Detroit

On Saturday March 31st, IEEE Dayton held its
annual Student Paper Contest. This annual contest is open
to all area IEEE members who are undergraduate or graduate
students. Area college students were asked to submit a technical
paper and a presentation on a topic that interests them. Each
submission is evaluated by a panel of judges. IEEE Dayton
would like to extend a special thanks to Dr. Michael Haas
and Dr. Charles Cerny for their help judging! This year, the
entries were better than ever.
WINNERS
First Place Graduate:
Dustin Brown
First Place: Chris Morman
Second Place: Brian Bernard
Third Place: Ron Dexter, Brian Roadruck, Elena McClellan,
and Bella Yao
10th Annual Dayton / Miami Valley TechFest™
IEEE-USA Meeting
Cincinnati on May 4th, 2012
http://ieeeusa.org/calendar/conferences/annualmeeting/2012/
 One
of the important highlights this year for the IEEE Dayton
Section is the IEEE-USA Meeting that is being held in Cincinnati
on May 4th, 2012. The IEEE Dayton Section is working closely
with the IEEE Cincinnati Section to organize this event. The
IEEE -USA Student Conference is a major new forum for students,
(undergraduate and graduate), researchers and practioners
interested in collaborative exploration of theory, design
and applications targeting innovative design. The 2012 theme
is "Innovation taking Flight". IEEE-USA meeting Location:
Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza, 35 W. Fifth Street.
Our local students from Miami University, Wright State University
and University of Dayton will be attending and presenting
papers.

11:30-13:00: Luncheon- Keynote Debbie Anderson Deborah (Desch)
Anderson, "The Dayton NCR WWII Codebreakers".
Deborah's father, Joseph Desch was the focus of a documentary
2006 film, Dayton Codebreakers. Deborah will highlight the
story of her father, who worked as an NCR engineer, and
was in charge of the top secret codebreaking operations
in Dayton during WWII. The story of the Dayton code breakers
survived 50 years of secrecy in part because it woven with
so many threads of world history -- military, diplomatic,
technological, scientific. http://www.daytoncodebreakers.org/
