EMPLOYEE TURNOVER CLASSIFICATION USING PSO-BASED NAÏVE BAYES AND NAÏVE BAYES ALGORITHM IN PT. MASTERSYSTEM INFOTAMA

Turnover occurs because many employees leave and new employees enter, so the turnover in and out of employees is quite high, therefore turnover can be controlled with a strategy to increase employee engagement. PT. Mastersystem Infotama is a System Integrator company or better known as a fairly large IT company with a total of approximately 600 employees. Turnover is high enough to make some divisions lack human resources, and the human capital management division is quite difficult to recruit employees to find candidates with various criteria that must be available in a short time. Competition in the IT world is quite tight both within companies and employees with good experience and abilities. Especially the sales department that holds a database of potential customers, and the engineer section that already has a certificate of expertise that is widely used in the IT business world. Therefore, it is necessary to classify what factors make employee turnover high by using the Naïve Bayes and Naïve Bayes algorithms based on Particle Swarm Optimization, so that they can be used as material for internal evaluation to increase employee engagement. The results of this study, classification using the Naïve Bayes algorithm, has an accuracy of 79.17%, while the classification using the Naïve Bayes algorithm based on Particle Swarm Optimization is 94.17%.

From Negotiator to Note-Taker: The Role of Women Leaders and Academic Technology Cultures

For years, there has been a perceived inaccessibility of the field of Information Technology, centering on an organizational culture of “men and their machines” (Clark, 2012). This paper examines the role of women who lead technology initiatives in higher education and presents the experiences of these women leaders and their collision of organizational cultures as part of a comparative case study of two public institutions. Findings suggest elements of culture within the IT field that contribute to the experiences of women leaders in IT, and illuminate that leading a technology project may add a layer of gender expectations and gender roles that are more entrenched in the IT world than in other areas of higher education.

Preserving the Past by Industry Participants

FOR over 40 years practitioners in the world of IT and historians of computing and information have come together in these Annals to share their understanding of computing’s history. Participants have their own reasons for involvement with the Annals and have their own approaches to studying and reporting history. Historians typically have different research agendas than practitioners, often dealing with much broader concerns than the practitioner. While some practitioners may have explicit research agendas, many others may just enjoy reading about the history they lived through or are collecting that history in maybe somewhat accidental ways.

A flexible fine-grained dynamic access control approach for cloud computing environment

As a pioneering surge of ICT technologies, offering computing resources on-demand, the exceptional evolution of Cloud computing has not gone unnoticed by the IT world. At the same time, security stands as a most prior concern for this new progressive computing capability of on-demand services over the Internet. Hence, access control substantiates one of the fundamental conditions to fortify the information and Cloud system against illegitimate access among all the security requirements of Cloud computing. Although diverse access control models have been proposed and implemented for the Cloud computing paradigm, the models may fail to accomplish the dynamic and scalable requirements of the Cloud system adequately. Therefore, we propose a dynamic authorization system for a Cloud computing environment that employs the concept of role, task, and trustworthiness of the user. In this paper, a framework has been proposed that offers characteristics of both passive and active access control along with the trusted computing, thereby, blending the model into a more fine-grained and dynamic for the Cloud computing environment. Subsequently, the implementation of the propounded scheme is reported to provide the proof-of-concept. Additionally, the evaluation and use case scenario of the propounded system has been carried out to proclaim its effectiveness over other conventional models.

DAREF: MDA framework for modelling data warehouse requirements and deducing the multidimensional schema

Nowadays, the growing importance of modelling in software engineering is without a doubt reinforced by the blossoming of model-driven architecture (MDA). In this trend, MDA could be considered the most convenient approach to integrate the modelling process in data warehousing projects. On the other hand, decision-makers are usually unable to express their business needs in a concise way that allows getting a valid data warehouse (DW), mainly due to the lack of standard methodologies and tools devoted to supporting this situation. This fact might expand the gap between the business world and the IT world and causes troublesome difficulties to interpret and model DW requirements. Moreover, applying MDA for this kind of project requires using new tools to avoid this drawback. In this paper, we provide an MDA framework to design DW requirements and generate afterwards the multidimensional schema. The framework is based on UML profiles and presents to decision-makers a graphical tool for modelling their strategic visions in order to build the system-to-be. Besides, the proposal allows for dealing with data historization and metadata in the generated multidimensional model to perform properly the extract transform load process.

Security of Internet of Things using RC4 and ECC Algorithms (Case Study: Smart Irrigation Systems)

Internet of Things (IoT) deploys a wide range of technologies including wireless sensor networks, machine-to-machine communication, robots, internet technologies, and smart devices. IoT is a novel phenomenon in the IT world wherein objects can transmit data, and interact through the internet or intranet networks. But the most important and crucial issue on the IoT is privacy and data security. The objective of this paper is to create a new encryption model for data storage servers in an IoT-based irrigation systems. Thus, a hybrid encryption algorithm based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), RC4, and SHA-256 is proposed to protect sensitive data of IoT-based irrigation systems. The proposed model uses ECC to improve RC4. In RC4, XOR operation is performed using a key encrypted by ECC and shift-right, and then the resulting data are transformed to SHA-256 to ensure security. Simulation results indicate that encryption and decryption time in the proposed model are shorter than other models like XXTEA & ECC, XXTEA & RSA, ECC&3DES&SHA-256, RC4&3DES&SHA-256, AES&RC4&SHA-256, AES&3DES &SHA-256, RC4&AES&SHA-256, RC2&3DES&SHA-256, and ECC&RC2&SHA-256 with, 43.39%, 66.03%, 45.28%, 54.71%, 50.94%, 33.96%, 33.62%, 24.52%, and, 15.09% respectively.

Study and Characterization of New Topologies of Dielectric Resonator Antennas: Application to New Wireless Communications Systems

Nowadays, we are witnessing a considerable change in the field of telecommunications, be it mobile telephony, wired or wireless networks. Advances in the fields of information technology, communication, microelectronics and telecommunications have led to a massive deployment of new networks which today connect a mass of individuals and computing entities. These networks are the backbone of all services influencing both the personal and professional spheres, with almost instant access to information, social networks and the IT world. In this regard, the antennas deployed in new telecommunications systems must be able to adapt to such an environment in perpetual evolution. Indeed, with the emergence of new telecommunications standards such as the Internet of Things (IoT), new telecommunications systems must meet new requirements, including the ability to include a large number of features to meet to the growing needs of users, such as making several standards coexist on the same compact structure, reducing interference with neighboring devices, improving the transmission rate, avoiding phenomena of antenna performance degradation in the presence of external disturbance and ensuring good efficiency in receiving data. Agile antennas in radiation patterns also present themselves as potential candidates to meet the requirements imposed.

A privacy preservation model for big data in map-reduced framework based on k-anonymisation and swarm-based algorithms

In recent years, two mainstream technologies have become the centre of IT world, big data and cloud computing. Both these fields are fundamentally different but used together generally. The big-data deals with huge scales of data however cloud-computing is majorly about the infrastructure. Together these fields are beneficial for enterprises varying from the government sector to social sites, from academic to medical sectors, etc. Thus, it becomes important to safeguard the datasets so that the end-users of data may not access the information delivered by the users. This paper presents a hybrid k-anonymisation model for the map-reduce framework which guarantees the preservation of privacy in the cloud database using the combination of swarm-based algorithms. The proposed model focuses on deriving fitness function which will give high value of privacy and low information loss. The simulation and comparison with other algorithms shows better privacy and utility when working with proposed model.

A Case for a New IT Ecosystem: On-The-Fly Computing

The complexity of development and deployment in today’s IT world is enormous. Despite the existence of so many pre-fabricated components, frameworks, cloud providers, etc., building IT systems still remains a major challenge and most likely overtaxes even a single ambitious developer. This results in spreading such development and deployment tasks over different team members with their own specialization. Nevertheless, not even highly competent IT personnel can easily succeed in developing and deploying a nontrivial application that comprises a multitude of different components running on different platforms (from frontend to backend). Current industry trends such as DevOps strive to keep development and deployment tasks tightly integrated. This, however, only partially addresses the underlying complexity of either of these two tasks. But would it not be desirable to simplify these tasks in the first place, enabling one person – maybe even a non-expert – to deal with all of them? Today’s approaches to the development and deployment of complex IT applications are not up to this challenge. “On-The-Fly Computing” offers an approach to tackle this challenge by providing complex IT services through largely automated configuration and execution. The configuration of such services is based on simple, flexibly combinable services that are provided by different software providers and traded in a market. This constitutes a highly relevant challenge for research in many branches of computer science, information systems, business administration, and economics. In this research note, it is analyzed which pieces of this new “On-The-Fly Computing” ecosystem already exist and where additional, often significant research efforts are necessary.

Kajian Etis Normatif dalam Pendidikan Arsitektur di Era Industri 4.0

<p class="Abstract"><em>Industry 4.0 is a necessity in the current global era. Indonesia since 2018 has prepared itself with the "Making Indonesia 4.0" roadmap, which covers the food and beverage, textile, automotive, electronic</em><em>s</em><em> and chemical industries. This program is also supported by a link and match program between the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Research, Technology and </em><em>Higher Education</em><em>. On the other hand, the development of the use of BIM and 3D printers in building construction has begun to develop rapidly. The construction approach 4.0 will soon be entering Indonesia so</em><em>,</em><em> that the link and match with the world of education need to be a concern. </em><em>Is it the education of architecture in Indonesia already prepare for that technology? That is the main question in this paper. </em><em>This </em><em>research </em><em>approach is a normative ethical philosophy approach. The method used is a normative qualitative method and makes a comparison between the phenomena of industrial development 4.0, especially those related to construction 4.0 with the latest developments in the world of education, especially architectural education in Indonesia. This comparison is then compared with legislation related to undergraduate higher education in the department / architecture study program. These appeals become the basis for the stages of discussion that see developments into the future of the IT world related to architecture. This </em><em>research</em><em> shows that there is something fundamental in the present development, namely the aspect of cooperation. The aspect of cooperation is the key to the use of BIM, and this is also the main variable in legislation which is termed the humanities value. Thus the difficulty of using BIM software in various universities due to various technical and non-technical reasons is not an obstacle to pursuing standards that are consistent with the development of the phenomenon of the Industrial Revolution 4.0. This can be said because the development of BIM in the future is not only talking about technical matters, but also on social problems, especially human capabilities collaboratively. The ability of collaboration between designers and the ability of collaboration across sciences is an important capability in the future.</em></p>
