Goodle Developer Days Munich 2008 - Open Social UpdatePatrick Chanezon
Updates about the OpenSocial ecosystem at Google developer days Munich, including presentations from Xing, Lokalisten, netlog and Viadeo..
OpenSocial is an open specification defining a common API that works on many different social websites, including MySpace, Plaxo, Hi5, Ning, orkut, Friendster Salesforce.com and LinkedIn, among others. This allows developers to learn one API, then write a social application for any of those sites: Learn once, write anywhere.
In addition, in order to make it easier for developers of social sites to implement the API and make their site an OpenSocial container, the Apache project Shindig provides reference implementations for OpenSocial containers in two languages (Java, PHP). Shindig will define a language specific Service Provider Interface (SPI) that a social site can implement to connect Shindig to People, Persistence and Activities backend services for the social site. Shindig will then expose these services as OpenSocial JavaScript and REST APIs.
In this session we will explain what OpenSocial is, show examples of OpenSocial containers and applications, demonstrate how to create an OpenSocial application, and explain how to leverage Apache Shindig in order to implement an OpenSocial container.

I am Bailey I am a Modern Professional Learner.Jane Hart
Bailey is a modern professional learner seeking their first job. They want a learning experience that is collaborative, flexible, and allows them to take ownership of their development. Rather than traditional training methods, Bailey prefers networking with colleagues, accessing on-demand resources, and learning through real-world experiences and social collaboration on a daily basis. Human resources and learning and development professionals should empower self-directed learning, support manager-led development, and provide modern training options to help Bailey and other modern learners thrive in today's workplace.
The document discusses modern workplace learning and the role of learning and development (L&D) departments. It notes that learning now occurs in short bursts using mobile devices, is social and continuous. L&D departments should organize learning initiatives using short formats, curate online resources, and encourage social and mobile learning. They should support everyday learning by helping build communities, offering guided social learning, and encouraging reflection. L&D should also promote professional learning through supporting individual learning plans and building modern learning skills like seeking, sensing, and sharing information.
The document discusses learning in the modern workplace. It notes that learning habits are changing, with people participating in online communities, using online tools to solve problems, and keeping up to date through knowledge flows. The key features of learning on the web are described as occurring in short bursts, on demand, on mobile devices, socially, continuously, and autonomously. Various internal and external resources that individuals use for learning are illustrated. The presentation recommends ways for companies to modernize workplace learning, such as by creating short, appealing content; running learning campaigns; making learning available on demand and for any device; encouraging social content; curating and coordinating learning opportunities; supporting everyday learning in teams; and encouraging self-improvement through individual learning
Beyond instructional design: how performance support is revolutionizng e-lear...Jane Hart
The document discusses how performance support is revolutionizing e-learning by focusing on providing resources that help users complete tasks rather than taking courses or tests. It outlines how learning habits are changing to be more on-demand, in short bursts across different devices. This means instructional designers need to create small, flexible resources in different formats. Examples of different types of performance support resources like checklists, step-by-step guides, videos and infographics are provided. The performance support design process involves analyzing the performance problem, designing the optimal resource format, and making it available for on-demand use. Success is measured through metrics like usage and evidence of performance improvement.
Supporting Social & Collaborative Learning in the WorkplaceJane Hart
1. The document discusses supporting social and collaborative learning in the workplace. It explains that learning happens through many different ways at work, including independently, through collaboration with colleagues, and instruction.
2. It outlines three key factors for successful social learning: people who want to learn with each other, an organizational culture that supports social learning, and appropriate technology.
3. The role of L&D is to enable knowledge sharing, collaborative problem solving, and relationship building. This includes working with managers to help them become effective social leaders, helping groups become effective social teams, and fostering relationships across the organization.
How can L&D support today's smart workers?Jane Hart
The document discusses how learning and development (L&D) professionals can support today's "smart workers" by moving from a command and control approach to one that enables and supports workers. It outlines eight characteristics of smart workers: they learn continuously on the job, want immediate access to solutions, are willing to share knowledge, rely on networks, learn from others, keep up-to-date in their field, strive to improve productivity, and thrive on autonomy. It argues that L&D should encourage and engage these behaviors rather than trying to control and mandate learning.
10 Ways to Use an Enterprise Social Network for Social LearningJane Hart
Using an ESN in these ways can help L&D play a significant part in inspiring, encouraging, supporting and embedding social learning in the organisation - and at the same time build widespread adoption of the ESN. (Presentation at LT16, London, 3 February 2016)

10 Trends for Workplace Learning (from the Top 100 Tools for Learning 2015)Jane Hart
The document discusses 10 trends in workplace learning based on an analysis of the Top 100 Tools for Learning in 2015. Key trends include:
1) E-learning content is becoming more visually appealing through tools that create infographics, animated explainers, and interactive video.
2) 2015 is seeing strong growth in the use of video for creating lessons and content.
3) There is a shift from traditional course management systems to more social learning platforms and hosting courses on enterprise social networks.
4) Tools for classroom interaction and participation are increasing to move beyond one-way instruction to more collaborative learning.
The document discusses social learning in the workplace. It defines social learning as learning that occurs through social interactions and sharing ideas with others. It provides examples of how social learning takes place naturally as people build networks to share knowledge, keep up with their industry, and solve work problems. It also discusses how learning and development professionals can support social learning by helping teams and individuals learn from one another through both structured and unstructured social activities.
LearningatWork keynote: learning in the social workplaceJane Hart
Jane Hart gave a keynote on social learning in the workplace. She discussed how social learning has always occurred naturally between friends and colleagues, but modern tools now enable new forms of social learning. She outlined different types of social learning like personal learning networks and described how learning and development professionals can support social learning by helping teams share and learn from one another. The case study of a Pfizer sales team in India showed how a guided social learning approach helped the team connect remotely and learn together.
LSG Webinar: Next generation learning practices in the age of knowledge shari...Jane Hart

The document introduces a handbook on social learning in the workplace, noting that social learning has long occurred but is now emphasized through social tools. It describes social learning as helping employees learn from one another through collaboration, rather than just training for tasks. The handbook examines how organizations can support social workplace learning through communities, activities, and helping employees become social learners. It provides an overview of the contents which address topics like learning in new work environments and social learning in teams.
Building the New Skills of the Networked WorkplaceJane Hart
Jane Hart gave a presentation at the Charity Learning Consortium Conference in London on November 27, 2013 about building new skills for the networked workplace. She discussed how individuals are using free online social tools like Google Drive, YouTube, and Twitter to build personal learning networks, ask and answer questions, share resources and ideas, and learn from each other. Teams are also using social tools for knowledge sharing and collaboration. Learning has become continuous, on demand, social, and autonomous as individuals now have more control over their own learning using these new tools. The connected workplace demands new skills, and the role of learning and development professionals is shifting to supporting collaborative learning and knowledge sharing through enterprise social networks and online communities of practice.
The Social Learning Revolution: What it means for Higher EducationJane Hart
The document discusses the social learning revolution and its implications. Key points:
1. Learning has shifted from formal instruction to social and collaborative learning using online tools. Individuals now have more control over their own learning through personal learning networks.
2. Both individuals and teams are using social tools like Twitter and Google Drive to ask questions, share resources, learn from each other, and collaborate in new ways.
3. This social, on-demand, and autonomous learning represents a major shift that will impact how workplaces and educational institutions approach learning. Personal knowledge management will be increasingly important for individuals to stay relevant and marketable in a changing job market.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

"Frontline Battles with DDoS: Best practices and Lessons Learned", Igor IvaniukFwdays
At this talk we will discuss DDoS protection tools and best practices, discuss network architectures and what AWS has to offer. Also, we will look into one of the largest DDoS attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure that happened in February 2022. We'll see, what techniques helped to keep the web resources available for Ukrainians and how AWS improved DDoS protection for all customers based on Ukraine experience
From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMsSease
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.
"NATO Hackathon Winner: AI-Powered Drug Search", Taras KlobaFwdays
This is a session that details how PostgreSQL's features and Azure AI Services can be effectively used to significantly enhance the search functionality in any application.
In this session, we'll share insights on how we used PostgreSQL to facilitate precise searches across multiple fields in our mobile application. The techniques include using LIKE and ILIKE operators and integrating a trigram-based search to handle potential misspellings, thereby increasing the search accuracy.
We'll also discuss how the azure_ai extension on PostgreSQL databases in Azure and Azure AI Services were utilized to create vectors from user input, a feature beneficial when users wish to find specific items based on text prompts. While our application's case study involves a drug search, the techniques and principles shared in this session can be adapted to improve search functionality in a wide range of applications. Join us to learn how PostgreSQL and Azure AI can be harnessed to enhance your application's search capability.

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024Vadym Kazulkin
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.
