Do What Matters

 Here are some team project ideas. I expect my students to improve these ideas further. AI-Driven Endpoint Security for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) Environments Objective : Create a cybersecurity solution that uses AI to monitor and secure devices in a BYOD environment, detecting and mitigating potential risks caused by non-corporate devices accessing the network. Novelty : Implement a system that learns from device behavior, network usage, and data access patterns to recommend customized security measures or quarantine devices when suspicious activity is detected. Enterprise Use : Ensures security while allowing flexibility for employees using personal devices, especially in hybrid work models. AI-Driven Identity and Access Management (IAM) System Objective : Develop an AI-powered platform that automates identity and access management by analyzing employee roles, data access patterns, and anomalies to recommend optimal access controls. Novelty : The system could predict and recom...

C an GenAI help guide developers in converting a monolithic software architecture to a microservices-based one? How? In a monolithic system, features are tightly coupled. A change in one part of the system can impact the entire application. Scaling a monolithic application often means replicating the application as a whole, which can be inefficient. On the other hand,  Microservices allow for independent scaling of each service. If the product catalog experiences high traffic, only that service needs to be scaled.  Each microservice can be developed, deployed, and updated independently, improving maintainability and reducing the risk of system-wide failures. GenAI can play a significant role in helping developers convert a monolithic software   architecture to a microservices-based one.  Here are some ways GenAI can assist: 1. Identifying Monolith Components : GenAI can analyze the codebase and identify potential candidates for individual   microservices. It can...

Hey there! Just wanted to let you know that today is officially National 'Make Everyone Smile' Day! So, consider yourself officially tasked with spreading joy and laughter wherever you go. Oh, and if you happen to fall for any pranks along the way, just remember it's all in good fun! Happy April Fool's Day!

While COVID taught us a great deal of resilience, patience, empathy and generosity, it also gave us opportunity to think hard and introspect. What's important in our lives. How do we use our technical skills and everything else to solve problems with greater good.  Data sources:  https://usafacts.org/data/ My Grad students always do projects using cool modern technology such as AI and Machine Learning. Past projects are available here: Spring 2017:  https://github.com/SJSU272LabS17 Fall 2017:  https://github.com/SJSU272LabF17 Spring 2018:  https://github.com/SJSU272LabSP18 Fall 2018:  https://github.com/SJSU272LabF18 Spring 2019:  https://github.com/SJSU272Spring2019 Fall 2019:  https://github.com/SJSUFall2019-CMPE272 Spring 2020:  https://github.com/SJSUSpring2020-cmpe272 This semester, they will do even better. Here are some ideas I am sharing with them: Category: AI in Software Development Idea#1: Apply ML into Fuzzing to improve software ...

 Food is what brings us together, if one thing this pandemic has taught us is that how important it is to cook at home with our family, eat healthy and nutritious food and exercise to boost immunity and stay sane during this time. I love cooking at home, I am a big fan of cooking with healthy grains and vegetables even if they come from unknown territories. Recently I started a blog to share the untold stories of some of the superfoods which I think, folks don't know much about. In this series, I have published stories of Ginger, Beetroots and Quinoa.
