This document provides an overview of a "lightning talk" presentation on the Transportation Framework for the Nation (TFTN). The presentation discusses:
1) Defining TFTN as a collaborative effort to build and maintain an accurate transportation network, including all roads, rail, airports, ports, and trails.
2) The roles of different levels of government, with the federal government coordinating standards, states providing support and funding, and locals implementing standards.
3) The roles of other stakeholders like the private sector providing lessons and the public providing feedback.
4) The availability of road data in Virginia from local to state coordination and high resolution imagery.
5) How existing programs around highway

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!

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

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.

2. 1. What does TFTN mean to me?
• How would I define TFTN?
– A federal, state, regional and local collaborative effort
to build and maintain a quality, accurate and timely
transportation network for the nation.
• Are road centerlines a good place to start?
– Yes - Centerlines, are a good place to start. This will give
the basis for routable network.
• Should it include all roads?
– Yes – all roads
• What else?
– Rail lines and yards, Airports, Maritime Ports
– Mass Transit, Commuter lines, Bike/Walk trails, SLUG
3. 2. What is role of various levels of government?
• What role should the Federal Government take in TFTN?
– Coordinate the development of standards and best practices
– Provide technical and process tools for implementing standard
– Provide support and funding to state, regional and locals
• What role should State Government take in TFTN?
– Participate in developing standards and best practices
– Provide education and technical support
– Provide funding to regional and local government to implement
– Educate state, regional and local decision makers on the program
• What role should Local Government take in TFTN?
– Participate in developing standards and best practices
– Educate regional and local decision makers on the program
– Implement standards and best practices
4. 3. What is the role of other stakeholders?
• Is there a role for the private sector?
– Provide lessons learned.
• Is there a role for the public-at-large?
– Provide feedback on data quality and usability
• Are there other important stakeholders that we should
reach out to?
– Multi-modal transportation partners
5. 4. What is the availability of data?
• Does adequate road geometry exist?
– In Virginia – YES!
– State GIS Coordination of road centerline development, up from
the local in most cases.
– State provides high resolution aerial photography to all local
government
• What attributes make sense?
• Is the data in the public domain?
6. 5. What existing programs might play a role in data
provisioning, and how so?
• Does the Highway Performance Measurement System
(HPMS) play a part?
– Yes – better road network will lead to better HPMS reporting, and
more funding for states. Could be a carrot to state/regional/local
participation
• Do efforts related to emergency numbering (e9ll) play a
part?
– Yes- a better road network will provide a better basis for e911
numbering and emergency response.
• Do efforts related to census-taking play a part?
– Census population figures can help to prioritize the collection and
quality standard.
• Do efforts related to “The National Map” play a part?
– Better data for the national map!
