Why wait? Let's start computing while data is still on the wire

In this era of Big Data, computing useful information from data is becoming increasingly complicated, particularly due to the ever increasing volumes of data that need to travel over the network to data centers to be stored and processed, all highly expensive operations in the long haul. In this paper we suggest that we can do computing and analysis of data "on the wire," i.e., while data is still in transit. The nature of these computations include analysis, visualization, pattern recognition, and prediction, or forecasting, on the streaming data. We follow a service function chaining architecture to implement this, assuming that the data packets arrive within a single network administrative domain. As a demonstration of this new computing paradigm, we present three examples. Firstly, we demonstrate pattern recognition and data visualization on streaming forex data, which can be used for lucrative trading in the forex market. In our second example, we analyze and learn user buying patterns from clickstream data streaming from multiple websites. Finally, we monitor solar sensors for a zero reading while the packets are still on their way to the data center, to schedule any maintenance and requisite repairs with no time delay.

Critical Asset Management at the Start of the Pandemic

COVID-19 has changed the daily lives of so many people and forced many companies to examine their way of doing business, including their Asset Management programs. This virus has given way to an unprecedented set of challenges to continue conducting business as usual when everything is unusual. On June 16, 2020, members of the Northern California Chapter of the Association of Asset Management Professionals came together for a panel discussion on Critical Asset Management during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. Participants were representatives from health care, water, and national security, which are all considered essential industries.
