Ai Cyber First Responders: Bottleneck Analysis Of Heterogeneous Cpu–Gpu Pipelines For Security Operations Center Triage, Christine Pierce

Harrisburg University Other Works

Abstract — Modern Security Operations Centers (SOCs) must continuously process massive volumes of heterogeneous security telemetry while meeting stringent throughput, latency, and operational continuity requirements. Although transformer-based artificial intelligence has significantly improved threat detection and alert prioritization, most cybersecurity research evaluates model accuracy rather than the end-to-end behavior of AI-enabled operational pipelines. Consequently, relatively little is known about how heterogeneous CPU–GPU coordination, scheduling overhead, memory movement, and synchronization collectively influence operational SOC performance. This paper presents the AI Cyber First Responder, a heterogeneous SOC triage architecture that integrates GPU-accelerated transformer inference with CPU-based doctrine-driven reasoning to investigate end-to-end pipeline behavior …

Combining Project Management Methods For Faster Software Delivery, Subhradeep Biswas

Harrisburg University Dissertations and Theses

The impact of the hybrid project management technique combined with lean principles in software organization is the main topic of the proposed thesis. The instability inherent in software projects has led to the rise in popularity of the agile approach. However, according to specialists in project management, an agile approach alone won't guarantee a project's success. When executing software projects, almost all project managers combine the agile approach with the waterfall methodology. Nevertheless, a number of investigations discovered that the hybrid strategy is frequently not failsafe. In this field of study, combining lean and hybrid project management is a topic …

The Role Of Attention Mechanisms In Enhancing Transparency And Interpretability Of Neural Network Models In Explainable Ai, Bhargav Kotipalli

Harrisburg University Dissertations and Theses

In the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence (AI), deep learning models' interpretability

and reliability are severely hindered by their complexity and opacity. Enhancing the

transparency and interpretability of AI systems for humans is the primary objective of the

emerging field of explainable AI (XAI). The attention mechanisms at the heart of XAI's work

are based on human cognitive processes. Neural networks can now dynamically focus on

relevant parts of the input data thanks to these mechanisms, which enhances interpretability

and performance. This report covers in-depth talks of attention mechanisms in neural networks

within XAI, as well as an analysis …

Forecasting Migration To The United States From Hong Kong And India, Priyanka [email protected]

Dissertations and Theses

This study investigates the forecasting of migration from India and Hong Kong to the United States. To study this, quantitative design is employed so numerical data can be used. The proposed research strategy uses the post-positivism approach, as this method can help with looking for explanations via numerical data. The data collection is through using archived data available from the Department of Homeland Security’s website, which is analyzed using descriptive and inferential analysis. The results show how migration trends increase for India but slowly decrease for Hong Kong, along with the best models used to forecast migration.
