Le tecnologie a basso impatto ambientale per il risanamento e rinnovamento delle reti idriche: aspetti progettuali, nuovi materiali, soluzioni tecniche.
Cagliari, 30/06/2017
Public micro mobility services (bikes, e-bikes, e-scooters) have a direct impact on the environment and the low-carbon economy. In parallel, sensing/monitoring urban air quality is a known need for any smart city to raise population awareness on health risks. ERMES is a technology transfer experiemnt project, supported by H2020 Smart4All aimed at improving the functionality of the air quality sensor kit of Cyclopolis to be safely mounted on public micro mobility fleets. It is enhanced with LoraWAN connectivity by exploiting the LoRaWAN@NOI network (https://lorawan.beacon.bz.it/) and will reduce the power consumption of the sensor kit. The system benefits of the the open source Chirpstack project and the data collected are going to be stored on InfluxDB, shared through and open RESTfull API. ERMES will provide the public shared mobility market with a reliable data and information service for smart cities.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

“WEEE TRACE actually simplifies the work by the
waste management ” (José Gómez, Emaús)
“I see value in enforcement agencies
using WEEE TRACE principles and systems
to make controls of shipments” (Stephane
Arditi, European Environmental Bureau )
“This system justifies the role of collective
take-back schemes as guarantors of Producers
compliance responsibilities” (Ängel Lasunción,
Recytel recycling facility)
“Very interesting. This tracing system if
harmonized could be a way to trace eWaste shipments to its origin” (Junya
Kikuhara – Basel Asian network)
“We reduced time required for the management of
