It is proposed to address existing methodological issues in the educational process with the development of intellectual technologies and knowledge representation systems to improve the efficiency of higher education institutions. For this purpose, the structure of relational database is proposed, it will store the information about defended dissertations in the form of a set of attributes (heuristics), representing the mandatory qualification attributes of theses. An inference algorithm is proposed to process the information. This algorithm represents an artificial intelligence, its work is aimed at generating queries based on the applicant preferences. The result of the algorithm's work will be a set of choices, presented in ranked order. Given technologies will allow applicants to quickly become familiar with known scientific results and serve as a starting point for new research. The demand for co-researcher practice in solving the problem of updating the projective thinking methodology and managing the scientific research process has been justified. This article pays attention to the existing parallels between the concepts of technical and human sciences in the framework of their convergence. The concepts of being (economic good and economic utility) and the concepts of consciousness (humanitarian economic good and humanitarian economic utility) are used to form projective thinking. They form direct and inverse correspondences of technology and humanitarian practice in the techno-humanitarian mathematical space. It is proposed to place processed information from the language of context-free formal grammar dissertation abstracts in this space. The principle of data manipulation based on formal languages with context-free grammar allows to create new structures of subject areas in terms of applicants' preferences.It is believed that the success of applicants’ work depends directly on the cognitive training of applicants, which needs to be practiced psychologically. This practice is based on deepening the objectivity and adequacy qualities of obtaining information on the basis of heuristic methods. It requires increased attention and development of intelligence. The paper studies the use of heuristic methods by applicants to find new research directions leads to several promising results. These results can be perceived as potential options in future research. This contributes to an increase in the level of retention of higher education professionals.

Searchable symmetric encryption enables users with the secret key to conduct keyword search on encrypted data without decryption. Recently, dynamic searchable symmetric encryption (DSSE) which provides secure functionalities for adding or deleting documents has been studied extensively. Many DSSE schemes construct indexes in order to efficiently conduct keyword search. On the other hand, the indexes constructed in DSSE are complicated and independent to indexes supported by database management systems (DBMSs). Plug-in developments over DBMSs are often restricted, and therefore it is not easy to develop softwares which can deploy DSSE schemes to DBMSs. In this paper, we propose a DBMS-friendly searchable symmetric encryption scheme which can generate indexes suitable for DBMSs. Our index can narrow down encrypted data which should be conducted keyword search, and be combined with well-used indexes supported by many DBMSs. Our index consists of a small portion of an output value of a cryptographic deterministic function (e.g. pseudo-random function or hash function). We also show an experiment result of our scheme deployed to DBMSs.

Many cloud services perform periodic database backup to keep the data safe from failures such as sudden system crashes. In the database system, two techniques are widely used for data backup and recovery: a physical backup and a logical backup. The physical backup uses raw data by copying the files in the database, whereas the logical backup extracts data from the database and dumps it into separated files as a sequence of query statements. Both techniques support a full backup strategy that contains data of the entire database and incremental backup strategy that contains changed data since a previous backup. However, both strategies require additional I/O operations to perform the backup and need a long time to restore a backup. In this paper, we propose an efficient backup and recovery scheme by exploiting write-ahead logging (WAL) in database systems. In the proposed scheme, for backup, we devise a backup system to use log data generated by the existing WAL to eliminate the additional I/O operations. To restore a backup, we utilize and optimize the existing crash recovery procedure of WAL to reduce recovery time. For example, we divide the recovery range and applying the backup data for each range independently via multiple threads. We implement our scheme in MySQL, a popular database management system. The experimental result demonstrates that the proposed scheme provides instant backup while reducing recovery time compared with the existing schemes.

A significant amount of attempt has been lately committed for the progress of Database Management Systems (DBMS) that ensures high assertion and high security. Common security measures for database like access control measures, validation, encryption technologies, etc are not sufficient enough to secure the data from all the threats. By using an anomaly detection system, we are able to enhance the security feature of the Database management system. We are taking an assumption that the database access control is role based. In this paper, a mechanism is proposed for finding the anomaly in database by using machine learning technique such as classification. The importance of providing anomaly detection technique to a Role-Based Access Control database is that it will help for the protection against the insider attacks. The experimentation results shows that the system is able to detect intrusion effectively with high accuracy and high F1-score.

Recently, cloud computing has been spotlighted as a new paradigm of database management system. In this environment, databases are outsourced and deployed on a service provider in order to reduce cost for data storage and maintenance. However, the service provider might be untrusted so that the two issues of data security, including data confidentiality and query result integrity, become major concerns for users. Existing bucket-based data authentication methods have problem that the original spatial data distribution can be disclosed from data authentication index due to the unsophisticated data grouping strategies. In addition, the transmission overhead of verification object is high. In this paper, we propose a privacy-aware query authentication which guarantees data confidentiality and query result integrity for users. A periodic function-based data grouping scheme is designed to privately partition a spatial database into small groups for generating a signature of each group. The group signature is used to check the correctness and completeness of outsourced data when answering a range query to users. Through performance evaluation, it is shown that proposed method outperforms the existing method in terms of range query processing time up to 3 times.
