Financial Data Processing in Big Data Platforms

Today’s digital society generates more and more data on a daily basis in all areas of human activities, especially in the financial sector. Such data can be collected, stored, processed, and analyzed, providing serious analytical opportunities for the end users. A lot of such systems are implemented and work using cloud technologies, which have a number of advantages, but they use a pay-per-use model and thus are not very suitable for medium and small organizations, non-profit and academic institutions. In this paper, a system, capable of fetching, storing, and processing big data is proposed and tested with financial data. It uses an open-source component-based approach and can be custom-built and implemented in national universities or centers of competence/excellence. That can present unique opportunities to researchers and developers to use and work with Big data on economic and financial problems, to investigate dependencies, use large simulation and forecast models and analyze results, using the new technologies and Big data provided by them.

IoTivity Cloud-Enabled Platform for Energy Management Applications

In developing countries today, population growth and the penetration of higher standard of living appliances in homes has resulted in a rapidly increasing residential load. In South Africa, the recent rolling blackouts and electricity price increase only highlighted this reality, calling for sustainable measures to reduce overall consumption and peak load. The dawn of the smart grid concept, embedded systems, and ICTs have paved the way for novel Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS) design. In this regard, the Internet of Things (IoT), an enabler for intelligent and efficient energy management systems, is the subject of increasing attention for optimizing HEMS design and mitigating its deployment cost constraints. In this work, we propose an IoT platform for residential energy management applications focusing on interoperability, low cost, technology availability, and scalability. We addressed the backend complexities of IoT Home Area Networks (HAN) using the Open Consortium Foundation (OCF) IoTivity-Lite middleware. To augment the quality, servicing, reduce the cost, and the development complexities, this work leverages open-source cloud technologies from Back4App as Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) to provide consumers and utilities with a data communication platform within an experimental study illustrating time and space agnostic “mind-changing” energy feedback, Demand Response Management (DRM) under a peak shaving algorithm yielded peak load reduction around 15% of the based load, and appliance operation control using a HEM App via an Android smartphone.
