A Composable Application Architecture for an agile development of web applications The era of uncertainty that the market is going through due to Covid, wars and rising inflation, generates strong stimuli that impact company’s business and public administration activities that are increasingly called to realize the digital transformation. In this scenario, organizations need to be more resilient, readjust their strategies quickly, and most importantly innovate because digital transformation supports agility and responsiveness. This is why “composable enterprise” is born, with its new architectural model of structuring processes and new technologies able to respond to changes. This approach drives organizations to rethink their business model in terms of digital assets by recombining the various business capabilities into reusable Packaged Business Capabilities (PBCs). To make the paradigm real, we need ad hoc platforms that provide tools to create and manage PBCs: the Application Composition Platform (ACP). With a maximum delay of five years compared to the migration to the cloud, we will also see that towards composable applications. It will be a highly diversified factor on the market: according to Gartner, in fact, by 2023 those who adopt it will be 80% faster in implementing new features than competitors. Entando Platform allows you to modernize applications, or build new applications in this new composable method, and it allows enterprises to use WHATEVER tools, runtimes, software languages, software frameworks, Middleware, Kubernetes Platform, Cloud platform, DevOps processes or governance that they currently use.

The complexity of agricultural droughts requires a consistent, reliable, and systematic method for monitoring and reporting. Amongst the various indices used to monitor this phenomenon, the soil moisture anomaly has been proven to be a more reliable predictor. However, the datasets required for computing this index are often large and computationally demanding. To address this challenge, we have developed SMODEX, a Python package that enables scalable, fast, and open-source standard-compliant computation and visualization of soil moisture anomalies.
SMODEX simplifies the computation and visualization of time-series for soil moisture and soil moisture anomalies from high-dimensional climate datasets. It allows for quick and easy parallelization of the computation on a daily, weekly, and monthly timescale. Additionally, SMODEX implements a straightforward workflow for automating the use of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) principles in producing and sharing outputs by leveraging the open source STAC API. The package is extendible and provides information on how to contribute to the project, test suites, test coverage, and a use case for the South Tyrol region, all provided in the package repository. In the future, additional agricultural drought indices and indicators would be included to serve to even larger community of researchers, policy makers, and individual users.SFSCON23 - Roberto Innocenti - From the design to reality is here the Communi...

Tracking aeroplanes in real time with Open Source Software is possible. Aircrafts must continuously send their current flight parameters to air traffic controllers on the ground and to other aircrafts. This generates a lot of data, especially when planes are being tracked by multiple sensors.
The Open Data Hub on the other hand offers a great backbone for data storing and processing, where the correct datasets have to be identified and filtered. After all transformation on the data is done, it will be exposed via API to be further used by a web application.
Bringing together sensor generated data, the Open Data Hub and custom web applications, is a showcase on how the Open Data Hub can be used as a service: OaaS.SFSCON23 - Marianna d'Atri Enrico Zanardo - How can Blockchain technologies i...

The transition from Web 2.0 to Web 3.0 has fueled the need for a secure and decentralized cloud storage solution for digital assets. Web 2.0 was characterized by centralized platforms where user data was under the control of companies. In contrast, Web 3.0 aims to empower individuals and foster a decentralized web that supports and benefits the Free Software and Open Data Communities.
Blockchain technologies facilitate seamless collaboration and interoperability among diverse stakeholders in the Free Software and Open Data communities. Developers can establish open and transparent ecosystems where data can be shared, verified, and integrated across multiple platforms.
Beez, with its own blockchain infrastructure, offers a secure and transparent platform for digital asset exchanges, bolstering transaction integrity and trust. By distributing data across a network of nodes, Beez ensures security and mitigates the risk of single points of failure. Users retain control over their data, safeguard their privacy, and can take advantage of the incentive mechanisms offered by blockchain networks.
During our presentation, we will explore the role of AI within Beez's ecosystem, facilitating accelerated data processing, correlation, and intelligent automation. AI unlocks valuable insights from blockchain data, and we will touch upon the use of Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) to enhance programming performance.
The integration of Blockchain and AI technologies holds great potential for advancing the safety and efficiency of the Open Data ecosystem. By combining decentralized data storage, trust-building mechanisms, and intelligent data processing, Beez is paving the way for a more secure, transparent, and user-centric digital landscape.SFSCON23 - Lucas Lasota - The Future of Connectivity, Open Internet and Human...

MOSH and MOAH are the abbreviation of two groups of chemical compounds found in mineral oils. “MOSH” stands for Mineral Oil Saturated Hydrocarbons. MOAH stands for Mineral Oil Aromatic Hydrocarbons. Both of them are under European deeply evaluation because there are two food contaminants. According to the current state of scientific knowledge, there is no sufficient toxicological evidence to prove a health risk to humans from saturated mineral oil fractions (MOSH). Meanwhile, MOAH are suspected to be carcinogenic (especially PAH-like compounds with 3-7 ring systems), therefore their levels in food should be reduced according to the ALARA-principle (as low as reasonably achievable).

SFSCON23 - Elena Maines - Embracing CI/CD workflows for building ETL pipelinesSouth Tyrol Free Software Conference
Up-to date measurements of surface meteorological variables are essential to monitor weather conditions, their spatio-temporal variability and the potential effects on a wide range of sectors and applications. Moreover, when included in continuous records of long historical observations spanning several decades, they become essential for assessing long-term climate variability and change locally and on a regional level.
Automated pipelines capable of retrieving and processing near-real time meteorological data satisfy the primary prerequisites towards the development and advancement of effective and operational climate services.
With a public and operational near real-time monitoring web platform in mind, we present automated pipelines to collect and process up-to-date daily temperature and precipitation records for Trentino South Tyrol (Italy) and surrounding areas, and to derive their spatially interpolated fields at sub-km scale. Our pipelines are composed by multiple steps including data download, sanity checks, reconstruction of missing daily records, integration into the historical archive, spatial interpolation and publication onto online FAIR catalogues as (openEO) “datacubes”. The different APIs, data formats and structure across the various data sources, and the need to merge the data onto harmonized meteorological layers, make this a typical case of the so-called Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) pipelines, and, in order to follow the principles of data reproducibility and Open Science, we embraced open-source automated workflow management through GitLab’s Continuous Integration / Continuous Development (CI/CD) capabilities.
CI/CD workflows greatly help the management of the relatively complex graphs of tasks required for our climate application, ensuring seamless orchestration with thorough flow monitoring, application logs, transactions rollbacks, and exception handling in general. Native pipeline-oriented software development also fosters a clean separation of roles among the tasks, and a more modular architecture. This effectively reduces barriers to collaborative development and paves the way for robust operational climate services for researchers and decision makers in the face of the changing climate.SFSCON23 - Christian Busse - Free Software and Open Science
The Open Science movement aims to increase the transparency, reproducibility and inclusiveness of academic research. One of its central goals is therefore to make research outputs broadly available, e.g., manuscripts (Open Access) or research data (Open Data). While software/code created in the course of scientific research is a key artifact of scientific research that is clear distinct from the latter two, it has until recently not received the same attention as manuscripts or data, although it follows its own set of paradigms.
In this talk I will present an overview on how the core concepts of Free Software and the FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reuseable) Principles intersect, what this means for managing code as research output and recent initiatives on the European level that will provide support for these issues.

Software freedom can be defined in many ways but in legal terms it is squarely defined by a set of approved FSF and OSI software licenses. Yet everyone realizes that beyond these licenses the goal of software freedom and digital sovereignty cannot be achieved without the ability to master and create hardware components and systems - and beyond that, to rely on open digital infrastructure (servers, datacenters, and resources) . This talk will present the challenges around these topics and what we, collectively in Europe already do and can do to ensure our independence and our freedoms.SFSCON23 - Andrea Vianello - Achieving FAIRness with EDP-portal
EDP-portal is the access point to the Environmental Data Platform of Eurac Research since 2021 to achieve FAIRness of our datasets. It allows to publish data and metadata and provides APIs and web services for data access. In the last 2 years the EDP improved the findability and accessibility of the data collected throughout the curation of metadata that was improved with the DOI registration for datasets. The result is a higher metadata quality where the final user can easily find how to properly cite datasets with a persistent identifier. The portal itself and main data repositories are registered in FAIR-sharing portal with their own DOI. The SW components of the EDP are totally based on open source projects.

As open source software becomes the foundation to build digital products, to run the backbones of ICT infrastructure and to ensure digital sovereignty and cyber resilience, both the technology as well as the communities that develop it inevitably move into the focus of regulators. The European Union is advancing a number of policy initiatives that regulate liability, cyber security, data handling and AI applications in digital products, among others. This is a challenge for the still quite decentralised and globally operating open source community. How could the open source community participate in legislative processes, and what may be the potential impacts of the upcoming regulation on the open source development process and community dynamics?SFSCON23 - Marco Pavanelli - Monitoring the fleet of Sasa with free software

How to sharpen the demand for public code across Europe and monitor progress with TEDective
For six years, the Free Software Foundation Europe has been calling with a broad alliance for publicly funded software to be published as Free Software. This initiative has become a great success: Our demand "Public Money? Public Code!" has found its way into government strategy papers, party programs, as well as coalition treaties, and is being discussed in public administrations across Europe.
At the same time, we see less progress than expected and vendor lock ins remain a crucial issue. Digital sovereignty is redefined bypassing Free Software. There is openwashing in publicly funded companies, and government projects in favour of Free Software remain empty words. Public statistics on the procurement of Free Software are largely unavailable.
It is therefore no longer enough to promote the idea of "Public Money? Public Code!". We as the Free Software community should be even more vigilant than before – continuing to praise small steps in the right direction, but pointing out and criticising omissions and lack of implementation. We should become more like watchdogs.
In the talk we will look at some examples of lack of implementation of Free Software policies. We will discuss how we, as civil society, can identify such shortcomings and how to deal with them. We will present our initiative TEDective – a free-software solution that makes European public procurement data explorable for non-experts, aiming to provide you with a powerful tool to keep an eye on real progress towards "Public Money? Public Code!" across Europe.SFSCON23 - Gabriel Ku Wei Bin - Why Do We Need A Next Generation Internet

The Internet today forms the backbone of the digitisation of our society and economy. As connectivity increases, the boundaries between the real and digital world get increasingly blurred. However, there has been an erosion of trust in the Internet following revelations about the exploitation of personal data, large-scale cybersecurity and data breaches, and growing awareness of the proliferation and impacts of online disinformation.
What can be done to improve the Internet as a platform for future generations? What initiatives are currently in place to build key technological blocks of an Internet that supports human-centric values, such as privacy, security, and inclusion, while reflecting the values and norms all citizens should enjoy in Europe?
This talk will explore why the current state of the internet must be re-imagined and re-engineered in order to support healthy societies, the existing European Commission initiative to work towards doing so, and the role of Free Software in accomplishing these goals.SFSCON23 - Edoardo Scepi - The Brand-New Version of IGis Maps
2023 saw the launch, after a long and well-structured revision and development process, all based on a fruitful collaboration between several departments of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano, most of the township in South Tyrol, Informatica Alto Adige (SIAG - Technical partner) and the Consortium of Municipalities of the Province of Bolzano, of the new version of the integrated geographic data management system IGis Maps. In use for years in South Tyrol, has in the Consortium one of its most enthusiastic contributors and supporters.
The very first version was released about eight years ago and its implementation was based on the idea of creating a multi-purpose GIS management system that could support different types of users, that was highly customizable, and, above all, that could be widely shared among the various management entities, both public and private, present within our territory.
After years of use and ad-hoc developments, we can finally present the new version of the IGis Maps system, which incorporates all the technical and technological improvements we realized the system needed.
It was not just a major update together with new functionalities combined inside the previous software structure, but a true re-engineering that led, among other things, to a new and more efficient user interface, a major advancement regarding the internal security, an optimization and improvement of the entire editing section as well as an optimization of the section regarding the automatic geo-processes.
A mobile version is currently under development to better support any field activities, for which a very powerful option will be included, the possibility of creating special work sessions in off-line mode so as to be able to operate even in areas without a proper cellular line network coverage.
Other very important peculiarities concern that the system is developed using a totally free software code and infrastructure, that a detailed documentation has been produced to ensure sustainability to any further future evolution, even in case of technical partner turnover, and finally, that by taking advantage of the high standards and levels of security access can be guaranteed to any type of user. From professional users, through dedicated access and qualifications or, using the ordinary SPID, to the private citizen.
We will show examples of how different types of users and stakeholders now permanently use the system for the management of a variety of tasks related to their activities, and how it was possible to customize IGis Maps to create visualization and data management contexts that best meet their needs.
We will also present a related project concerning the updating and the correction of the new technical basal cartography, built upon the new Basic Core specification, achieved through the automatic conversion implemented by the SIAG team starting from the previous National Core cartography.

[Context:] Technical leverage is the ratio between dependencies (other people's code) and own codes of a software package. It has been shown to be useful to characterize the Java ecosystem and there are also studies on the NPM ecosystem available. [Objective:] By using this metric we aim to analyze the Python ecosystem, how it evolves, and how secure it is, as a developer would perceive it when deciding to adopt or update (or not) a library. [Method:] We collect a dataset of the top 600 Python packages (corresponding to 21,205 versions) and used a number of innovative approaches for its analysis including the use of a two-part statistical model to deal with excess zeros, a mathematical closed formulation to estimate vulnerabilities that we confirm with bootstrapping on the actual dataset. [Results:] Small Python package versions have a median technical leverage of 6.9x their own code, while bigger package versions rely on dependencies code a tenth of their own (median leverage of 0.1). In terms of evolution, Python packages tend to have stable technical leverage through their evolution (once highly leveraged, always leveraged). On security, the chance of getting a safe package version when choosing a package is actually better than previous research has shown based on the ratio of safe package versions in the ecosystem. [Conclusions:] Python packages ship a lot of other people's code and tend to keep doing so. However, developers will have a good chance to choose a safe package version.SFSCON23 - Jorge Melegati Moritz Mock Barbara Russo - Recommending security f...

When developers are aware of it and admit it in source code comments, the debt is called Self-Admitted Technical Debt (SATD). Thus, SATD indicates weak code that developers are aware of. The question is whether they are aware that this code may be vulnerable to attacks. This presentation will illustrate how artificial intelligence can be employed to recommend security fixes for vulnerabilities to developers.SFSCON23 - Francesco Pavanello - Decoding the Corporate Maze

SFSCON23 - Carlos Esteban Budde - Predict security attacks in FOSSSouth Tyrol Free Software Conference
FOSS is here to stay, displacing malevolent privative counterparts—great!
FOSS exposes bugs to be found and fixed by the community—great!
FOSS shows security issues than can be exploited by attackers—gr..what?
In the last decades, source code transparency has made the job of black-hat hackers increasingly easy. We now have security websites exposing vulnerabilities and even exploits online—and despite good practices like responsible disclosure, it is the sheer amount of (external) code what makes everyone ultimately vulnerable. In plain words, nobody's safe.
From that base, this talk puts forward the need for a concept of *probability of future exploits*. This is crucial for project management, but also at developer level, to see the risks of not upgrading (or yes upgrading!) a dependency. We show how this probability can, and must, be computed from a project's dependency tree, in a manner that only the use of FOSS can allow. We also show that the development history of the project and its dependencies is key to getting useful results.
Finally, we merge the dependency tree and development history of a project into a white-box model, which we use to estimate the probability of future exploits. We show how to do it for the Java-Maven environment, for which we can use the FOSS tool 'FIG'. FIG, written in C++ and released under GPLv3, was designed for statistical estimations and can compute the probability of attacks in complex scenarios like the ones at hand.SFSCON23 - Carlo Falciola - Opensource to help increase organizations Cyberse...

In this presentation, we present MBBS, a tetra-model behavioral biometric-based authentication scheme designed specifically for smartphones. MBBS utilizes four distinct modalities to authenticate users: touchscreen swiping patterns, taps on "text-independent" 8-digit numbers, name writing on the touchscreen, and micro-movements of the hand during the entry process. To enhance overall accuracy and security, MBBS incorporates a state-of-the-art Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) powered data augmentation architecture. This innovative approach allows us to demonstrate the effectiveness of MBBS using both real user samples and augmented samples, consisting of a combination of "real" and "GAN-generated" data, on an actual Android device. One of the key advantages of MBBS is its high usability, as it eliminates the need for users to remember any secret information. Instead, it leverages users' familiarity with natural processes, thereby increasing accuracy in real-time by employing GAN technology, all without requiring a large sample size from users. We will also present preliminary results from our performance, security, and usability analysis, which showcase a positive opinion regarding the effectiveness of our developed authentication mechanism.SFSCON23 - Valentina Del Prete Stefano Pampaloni - RIOS (Rete Italiana Open S...

Software freedom can be defined in many ways but in legal terms it is squarely defined by a set of approved FSF and OSI software licenses. Yet everyone realizes that beyond these licenses the goal of software freedom and digital sovereignty cannot be achieved without the ability to master and create hardware components and systems - and beyond that, to rely on open digital infrastructure (servers, datacenters, and resources) . This talk will present the challenges around these topics and what we, collectively in Europe already do and can do to ensure our independence and our freedoms.SFSCON23 - Andrea Vianello - Achieving FAIRness with EDP-portal
EDP-portal is the access point to the Environmental Data Platform of Eurac Research since 2021 to achieve FAIRness of our datasets. It allows to publish data and metadata and provides APIs and web services for data access. In the last 2 years the EDP improved the findability and accessibility of the data collected throughout the curation of metadata that was improved with the DOI registration for datasets. The result is a higher metadata quality where the final user can easily find how to properly cite datasets with a persistent identifier. The portal itself and main data repositories are registered in FAIR-sharing portal with their own DOI. The SW components of the EDP are totally based on open source projects.

As open source software becomes the foundation to build digital products, to run the backbones of ICT infrastructure and to ensure digital sovereignty and cyber resilience, both the technology as well as the communities that develop it inevitably move into the focus of regulators. The European Union is advancing a number of policy initiatives that regulate liability, cyber security, data handling and AI applications in digital products, among others. This is a challenge for the still quite decentralised and globally operating open source community. How could the open source community participate in legislative processes, and what may be the potential impacts of the upcoming regulation on the open source development process and community dynamics?SFSCON23 - Marco Pavanelli - Monitoring the fleet of Sasa with free software

How to sharpen the demand for public code across Europe and monitor progress with TEDective
For six years, the Free Software Foundation Europe has been calling with a broad alliance for publicly funded software to be published as Free Software. This initiative has become a great success: Our demand "Public Money? Public Code!" has found its way into government strategy papers, party programs, as well as coalition treaties, and is being discussed in public administrations across Europe.
At the same time, we see less progress than expected and vendor lock ins remain a crucial issue. Digital sovereignty is redefined bypassing Free Software. There is openwashing in publicly funded companies, and government projects in favour of Free Software remain empty words. Public statistics on the procurement of Free Software are largely unavailable.
It is therefore no longer enough to promote the idea of "Public Money? Public Code!". We as the Free Software community should be even more vigilant than before – continuing to praise small steps in the right direction, but pointing out and criticising omissions and lack of implementation. We should become more like watchdogs.
In the talk we will look at some examples of lack of implementation of Free Software policies. We will discuss how we, as civil society, can identify such shortcomings and how to deal with them. We will present our initiative TEDective – a free-software solution that makes European public procurement data explorable for non-experts, aiming to provide you with a powerful tool to keep an eye on real progress towards "Public Money? Public Code!" across Europe.SFSCON23 - Gabriel Ku Wei Bin - Why Do We Need A Next Generation Internet
SFSCON23 - Gabriel Ku Wei Bin - Why Do We Need A Next Generation InternetSouth Tyrol Free Software Conference
The Internet today forms the backbone of the digitisation of our society and economy. As connectivity increases, the boundaries between the real and digital world get increasingly blurred. However, there has been an erosion of trust in the Internet following revelations about the exploitation of personal data, large-scale cybersecurity and data breaches, and growing awareness of the proliferation and impacts of online disinformation.
What can be done to improve the Internet as a platform for future generations? What initiatives are currently in place to build key technological blocks of an Internet that supports human-centric values, such as privacy, security, and inclusion, while reflecting the values and norms all citizens should enjoy in Europe?
This talk will explore why the current state of the internet must be re-imagined and re-engineered in order to support healthy societies, the existing European Commission initiative to work towards doing so, and the role of Free Software in accomplishing these goals.SFSCON23 - Edoardo Scepi - The Brand-New Version of IGis Maps
2023 saw the launch, after a long and well-structured revision and development process, all based on a fruitful collaboration between several departments of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano, most of the township in South Tyrol, Informatica Alto Adige (SIAG - Technical partner) and the Consortium of Municipalities of the Province of Bolzano, of the new version of the integrated geographic data management system IGis Maps. In use for years in South Tyrol, has in the Consortium one of its most enthusiastic contributors and supporters.
The very first version was released about eight years ago and its implementation was based on the idea of creating a multi-purpose GIS management system that could support different types of users, that was highly customizable, and, above all, that could be widely shared among the various management entities, both public and private, present within our territory.
After years of use and ad-hoc developments, we can finally present the new version of the IGis Maps system, which incorporates all the technical and technological improvements we realized the system needed.
It was not just a major update together with new functionalities combined inside the previous software structure, but a true re-engineering that led, among other things, to a new and more efficient user interface, a major advancement regarding the internal security, an optimization and improvement of the entire editing section as well as an optimization of the section regarding the automatic geo-processes.
A mobile version is currently under development to better support any field activities, for which a very powerful option will be included, the possibility of creating special work sessions in off-line mode so as to be able to operate even in areas without a proper cellular line network coverage.
Other very important peculiarities concern that the system is developed using a totally free software code and infrastructure, that a detailed documentation has been produced to ensure sustainability to any further future evolution, even in case of technical partner turnover, and finally, that by taking advantage of the high standards and levels of security access can be guaranteed to any type of user. From professional users, through dedicated access and qualifications or, using the ordinary SPID, to the private citizen.
We will show examples of how different types of users and stakeholders now permanently use the system for the management of a variety of tasks related to their activities, and how it was possible to customize IGis Maps to create visualization and data management contexts that best meet their needs.
We will also present a related project concerning the updating and the correction of the new technical basal cartography, built upon the new Basic Core specification, achieved through the automatic conversion implemented by the SIAG team starting from the previous National Core cartography.

SFSCON23 - Ranindya Paramitha - Technical leverage analysis in the Python eco...South Tyrol Free Software Conference
[Context:] Technical leverage is the ratio between dependencies (other people's code) and own codes of a software package. It has been shown to be useful to characterize the Java ecosystem and there are also studies on the NPM ecosystem available. [Objective:] By using this metric we aim to analyze the Python ecosystem, how it evolves, and how secure it is, as a developer would perceive it when deciding to adopt or update (or not) a library. [Method:] We collect a dataset of the top 600 Python packages (corresponding to 21,205 versions) and used a number of innovative approaches for its analysis including the use of a two-part statistical model to deal with excess zeros, a mathematical closed formulation to estimate vulnerabilities that we confirm with bootstrapping on the actual dataset. [Results:] Small Python package versions have a median technical leverage of 6.9x their own code, while bigger package versions rely on dependencies code a tenth of their own (median leverage of 0.1). In terms of evolution, Python packages tend to have stable technical leverage through their evolution (once highly leveraged, always leveraged). On security, the chance of getting a safe package version when choosing a package is actually better than previous research has shown based on the ratio of safe package versions in the ecosystem. [Conclusions:] Python packages ship a lot of other people's code and tend to keep doing so. However, developers will have a good chance to choose a safe package version.SFSCON23 - Jorge Melegati Moritz Mock Barbara Russo - Recommending security f...

Graspan: A Big Data System for Big Code Analysis
We built a disk-based parallel graph system, Graspan, that uses a novel edge-pair centric computation model to compute dynamic transitive closures on very large program graphs.
We implement context-sensitive pointer/alias and dataflow analyses on Graspan. An evaluation of these analyses on large codebases such as Linux shows that their Graspan implementations scale to millions of lines of code and are much simpler than their original implementations.
These analyses were used to augment the existing checkers; these augmented checkers found 132 new NULL pointer bugs and 1308 unnecessary NULL tests in Linux 4.4.0-rc5, PostgreSQL 8.3.9, and Apache httpd 2.2.18.
