I am Florence
I am Florence is a European hyperlocal smart mobile app that helps save lives by connecting people who need emergency assistance with nearby volunteers who can help. The app allows users to download it and be notified by emergency services if help is needed within 300 meters of their location. When 112 receives an emergency call, they can select user groups like medical professionals, students, or volunteers to notify. A message with the emergency location and details is then pushed to those users. Selected volunteers then receive the message requesting help.
Space to think | Cloud research using Logica futurescope
The document discusses the results of a cloud research study conducted using Logica FutureScope. Over six weeks, 268 Logica FutureScope members participated by viewing 24 statements about cloud computing and writing 402 comments. The majority agreed on statements related to security concerns about data breaches and loss of availability in public clouds. There was less agreement on statements about early cloud adoption and large organizations adopting cloud faster. The results provide insights into both consensus views and areas of differing opinions on issues like security, agility, cloud adoption, and consumer preferences. Logica can help organizations develop cloud strategies tailored to their needs and priorities.
The Future For Eco-Mobility
This document discusses the future of transportation as fossil fuels decline and discusses potential business models for 2030. It notes that many experts believe that oil production has peaked or will peak by 2020-2040. To address this and reduce emissions, transportation may need to transition away from relying on oil and towards electric vehicles (EVs), hybrids, and other ultra low carbon vehicles by 2030. Key drivers for this transition include both declining oil supplies and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate climate change. The transition to EVs and other alternative fuel vehicles could also help protect the auto industry and create new jobs.

Identifying the benifits of testing
Testing has evolved. From being an activity that “just had to be done” to a profession. And from just a profession to a fizzing profession with its own methods, tools and techniques on test execution, management and even on strategic levels. Still, a question often posed to the test professionals is: “Why does testing cost so much money?”.

It may feature interactive workspaces and allow staff to work remotely via robotics. Sustainable IT, environmental sensors, and apps could help offices operate as closed-loop systems with minimal waste.
Agile testing and_the_banking_domain_2009
The document discusses testing approaches for banking/finance domain applications. It notes that these applications typically have multi-tier functionality, systems of systems integration, and bespoke development with lacking documentation. It argues that while the domain is traditionally conservative, an agile testing approach makes sense. An agile approach emphasizes business user involvement, defining requirements and acceptance criteria through user stories, and allowing for incremental development and testing. The approach could work well for integration testing and addressing regression testing risks in this complex domain.
Does the cloud have a role in fixing the economy?
The document discusses how the cloud could help boost economic growth in similar ways that past infrastructure innovations like railways did. It provides examples of how the cloud is already enabling new business models and value chains in industries like oil and gas, insurance, and public services. Specifically, the cloud allows for lower costs, faster innovation, shared software and information, and new opportunities for collaboration and data analytics that can drive business and societal growth. However, common regulations, trade policies, and protections are still needed to ensure the cloud's benefits are widely shared.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesdays - June 2024

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.[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their Mainframe
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.
GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)
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.
