How to shift left and integrate MobSF/mobsfscan SAST and DAST in your build pipeline.
"$10 thousand per minute of downtime: architecture, queues, streaming and fin...Fwdays
Direct losses from downtime in 1 minute = $5-$10 thousand dollars. Reputation is priceless.
As part of the talk, we will consider the architectural strategies necessary for the development of highly loaded fintech solutions. We will focus on using queues and streaming to efficiently work and manage large amounts of data in real-time and to minimize latency.
We will focus special attention on the architectural patterns used in the design of the fintech system, microservices and event-driven architecture, which ensure scalability, fault tolerance, and consistency of the entire system.
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.

BRONZE SPONSOR:
Enerkem
Enerkem is a leading advanced biofuels and green chemicals technology company. Founded in
2000, the company has developed a unique clean gasification and catalysis technology platform
that converts sorted waste as well as forest and agricultural biomass residues into second generation
ethanol, other renewable transportation fuels and green chemicals. The company has a pilot
plant in operation since 2003 and is now entering the commercial phase with the start-up of its first
commercial plant. The Westbury plant is Enerkem’s first commercial-scale biofuels and biochemicals
www.enerkem.com plant. It will be the world’s first ethanol plant to use negative-cost and unconventional materials -
treated wood from used electricity poles. The plant is operated by a team of 13 people and will,
at term, produce 5 million litres (1.3 million gallons) of second-generation ethanol annually.Enerkem, in partnership with
GreenField Ethanol, also signed a 25-year agreement with the City of Edmonton to build and operate a plant that
will produce and sell next generation biofuels, including methanol and cellulosic ethanol, from sorted municipal solid
waste. This is the world’s first agreement between a large urban centre and a biofuel producer to turn municipal waste
into ethanol. With its multi-product and feedstock-flexible technology platform, Enerkem helps reduce greenhouse gas
emissions, while contributing to a greener economy. By producing fuels locally rather than depending on foreign oil,
Enerkem contributes to increasing energy independence and reducing imports.
ASSOCIATE SPONSOR:
Embassy of Brazil
Production and use of ethanol in Brazil since 1975 represent the most important renewable,
commercial fuel programme ever worldwide, giving rise to intensive demand for information on
Brazil’s programme. Thanks to vast areas for grain and sugar cane - without touching rainforests -
and home-grown technology, Brazil is a leading biofuel producer, with singular and enviable growth
potential. Nine out of ten cars sold in Brazil have flex engines. Bus fleets, trains and lorries powered
by biodiesel crisscross Brazil. The booklets and magazines displayed at this biofuel event answer
www.braziltradenet.gov.br questions, point to informative channels and dispel myths surrounding Brazilian ethanol.

OPTIMISATION OF FEEDSTOCKS AND FINANCING OF
BIODIESEL PROJECTS
Global Biofuels industry is passing through quot;strategic inflection pointquot; and the need to improvise
with quot;out of the boxquot; solutions to survive and emerge stronger as the world weathers the storm
is required to position the assets to capture and service the future of Biofuels. There is no one
magic mantra to manage the show, however, case by case improvisation is needed and the
same has to be captured with local content enabling global scope. The Biofuels world has
already passed through the incubation phase and has gained the learning curve. It is very
important for new entrants to digest the learning curve from the experienced before they
venture to make any new assumptions. The philosophy for Biofuels entrepreneurs should be
appetite for risk and patience with loads of passion for the domain.
This informative Post-Summit Master Class will provide insights on:
OPTIMISATION OF FEEDSTOCKS
Sustainability - Sustainable sourcing is becoming mandatory. Issues and solutions
Food Vs. Fuel Myth - Biofuels impacting food prices? A myth or reality?
Domestication vs. Globalization - Regulatory tariff barriers are becoming the norm of the
day. Solutions to such impediments
Grade and species of fat- The key aspect for plant viability and options to enable the same
FINANCING OF BIODIESEL PROJECTS
Project financing structuring - Domestic / global financing with appropriate means of
financing
Working capital - Means of financing and requirements
Hedging - Biodiesel Value chain links unrelated segments of fats and fuels. Hedging in
such scenarios and solutions?
Exit options - Investors to have clarity in exit options to enable investments? Possible
options?
