Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

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.

• Context - Each “thing” or connected device is part of the digital
shadow of a person, essential to enable deeply contextualized services.
• Assistance & Task Completion - This informs business
operations and services as much as it informs an individual’s
engagement and behavior.
• Understanding Intent - Every new dimension of
data increases predictive power, enabling an agent, bot,
or application to contextually answer the question:
“What does the human want?”
• Knowledge & Insight - From the data streams that
implement the “digital shadow”, we can use predictive
analytics to understand people’s needs and behaviors

Describe Rod Pumps:I am sure you have seen those pumps around, extracting oil from wells that sometimes are 1 mile deep. These pumps are usually in very remote locations with little to no connectivity and no human supervision most of the time.
Traditionally the pumps have been running continuously at the same pace, without taking into account the changing conditions such as temperature, oil pressure downhole, making them all but really efficient.
Finally, maintenance teams have to visit pumping sites often for no reason most of the time and too late in some cases to prevent damage or loss.
Schneider solution:
Schneider Electric created a SCADA solution called Realift to optimize efficiency, extend well life and lower operating expenses.
Realift consists in monitoring well sites and oilfields, collect real time data from sensors attached to pumps and analyze this data to detect anomalies and optimize efficiency.
Today, when a problem occurs, the SCADA system will notify over SMS or email an expert who will interpret data from sensors to diagnose the issue.
Schneider ML models
Schneider wants to be proactive and started working with Azure Machine Learning to do predictive maintenance.
Considering the remote location of the pumps and their limited connectivity, Schneider needs to run the ML models as close as possible to the pumps.
Data analyzed by ML models:
Sensors measuring pump position and fluid load at the surface of the well allow creating an X-Y plot ‘dynacard’ that provides visibility of downhole conditions that can impact pump fill.
Machine Learning models trained with millions of dynacards can instantly and automatically detect anomalies and downhole conditions. No need for a human to look at hundreds, thousands of dynacards to diagnose an issue or determine when next maintenance is needed.
Here is the challenge:
Rod pumps being in remote locations with little to no connectivity it is often difficult and costly to have them send all sensors data to the cloud for analysis.
Furthermore, if a defect or anomaly is detected that requires immediate action to stop the pump, then the round trip to the cloud and bad connection can be in the way of taking action in a timeline manner.
Last but not least, in the oil & gaz industry (like in many other ones) this data is very sensitive and customers prefer not seeing it leave the production site.
Schneider Realift SCADA solution allows real time monitoring of well sites.
[Animate]
A SCADA Remote Terminal Unit installed onsite collects data from pump sensors through a field bus connection like CAN.
[Animate]
A local SCADA application, monitors sensors through the RTU over a Modbus connection
[Animate]
When an issue occurs, the local SCADA application will notify the supervision site sending an SMS or email.
[Animate]
As most often sites are not connected or transmitting data is very expensive, an expert has to be dispatched onsite to diagnose the issue looking at dynacards data.
[Animate]
If an expert cannot be dispatched, data needs to be brought back to the supervision site over an expensive connection or manually.
[Animate]
Data collected when issues occur or during regular onsite maintenance is also used to optimize pump efficiency.
But as you can imagine, having an expert looking at every single dynacard to determine issues and trends is subject to optimization.
For this, Schneider experts developed and trained Machine Learning models in the Cloud with the dynacards data from sites all over the world.
These ML models help determine trends to optimize pumps usage efficiency and also plan for onsite maintenance.
While this solution has already demonstrated it can save a lot of energy, and minimize costs, it is still reactive. The intelligence is in the Cloud and data is hard to bring up there.
What Schneider wants to do is to bring the intelligence at the Edge to make their SCADA solution proactive, implementing predictive maintenance.
And we have it working here for real!
Here is what you will see in the demo in a minute
[Animate]
On the Well site, we have added a gateway device.
[Animate]
This device runs Azure IoT Edge
[Animate]
An edge module has been developed to collect dynacards data from the RTU over ModBus. If the IoT Edge device is connected, this module can send real time data to Azure for remote monitoring as well as further training ML models in the cloud
[Animate]
The data is then converted by another module in a format that will be readable by the ML model, itself running on IoT Edge as a module.
[Animate]
The ML model scores the dynacards and if it detects an anomaly it can notify the SCADA system for it to adjust the pump operation or stop it. In case of alert the SCADA system will send an alert over SMS or email (if connectivity permits)
[Animate]
Once again, if the IoT Edge device is connected, it can send the alert up to the cloud itself to trigger maintenance processes automatically in LOB applications.
[Animate]
For the demo we are replaying readings from a real pump and I will be playing the local operator directly connected to the RTU to show you what’s happening
