Sustainability in the Information Society
Authors: HARI DILIP KUMAR In 1987, the World Commission on Environment and Development of the United Nations released Our Common Future, also known as the Brundtland Report. The report firmly established the modern paradigm of sustainable development, as “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet […]
Using Differential Privacy to Generate Synthetic Data: an Approach for Low-Dimensional Datasets
Author: Shashank Pandey Research Intern, CDPG In the ever-connected, digital world of today, we have seen an explosion in the amount of data created by billions of stakeholders from around the world. This exponential growth in the scale and volume of this data has allowed us to extract valuable information and insights from this data. […]
Forecasting Kaveri River Water Quality using Time series models
Authors: Arun Josephraj Associate Software Developer, IUDX People around the globe, are affected by poor water quality. Potable water scarcity is exacerbated due to poor water quality. It has been observed in some countries that there is a direct correlation between water quality and economic growth [1]. Therefore it is imperative to study and forecast […]
Profiling Java Applications using Async Profiler and Flame Graphs
Author: Bryan Paul Robert Reviewed by: Mahindhar Chellamani Introduction A key requirement of a data exchange is good platform performance. Deciding what is good performance is usually determined by the data characteristics and query statistics. Serving a hundred small JSON documents per second may be considered slow, while serving a hundred 5-minute-long video files per […]
Secure Multi-Party Computation
Author: Rashmi TDr Haritha Kallamadi Have you ever wanted to query an online application but felt sceptical about sharing your personal data? How can confidential data be given to a third party for analysis without worrying about its privacy implications? How do multiple competing organisations collaborate on a joint task without revealing their private data? […]
Data Marketplace : A system design perspective
Author: Pranav Doshetty,Senior Software Engineer A data exchange platform such as IUDX or ADeX curates datasets from various vendors based on how reliable, relevant and accurate the datasets are. A byproduct of this process is that the data that’s hosted on the platform ends up being quite valuable. One of the ways to realise this […]
Data Privacy: What is it, Why do we need it and How can it be achieved?
Author: Abhilash Venkatesh We relate privacy and understand it more in the context of physical privacy, where one or more people want to be isolated from the rest of society to think freely, act, and not be judged. What does privacy mean in the context of information technology and data? Let’s take an example: A […]
Differential Privacy for Smart Cities
Author: Hari Dilip Kumar Many of the keystone applications running a “smart” city will require data sharing between parties with heterogenous interests. As an example, let’s imagine an “intelligent” transport management system (ITMS) that might optimise end-to-end transit times, measure and mitigate air pollution, manage city-wide transport carbon emissions, minimize traffic congestion and signal waiting […]
Are you holding onto a valuable asset – a High Value Dataset?
Author: Akshat Sharma The world has become increasingly digital and a very high volume of data is being generated and consumed of late. It is therefore important that the data owners are able to identify whether the dataset they have is a High Value Dataset (HVD) or not. This blog is therefore an attempt to provide a template […]
