This document outlines an asset management presentation for a highway superintendents conference. It discusses collecting data on maintenance and repair needs to develop a documented plan. The core questions of asset management are presented: determining current asset conditions, required service levels, critical assets, lifecycle costs, and funding strategies. The document provides examples of assessing carriage road conditions at state parks using standardized ratings, GPS, and a GIS database to track assets and needs over time. Maintaining assets sustainably requires identifying ownership, conditions, needs, equipment, labor and material costs.

II-SDV 2017: Spotting the Stars in your Galaxy of Patent DataDr. Haxel Consult
Analysis and visualisation of a “galaxy” of patent data can present challenges in being able to spot the “stars”. Being able to drawn meaningful conclusions from any patent landscape relies on the quality and comprehensiveness of the data input, as well as having features and functionality to visualize the landscape accurately and being able to focus on an area of interest.
Delivered from the perspective of an experienced patent analyst, we will use case studies to discuss the challenges in creating a meaningful patent landscape and the recent innovative features and functionality in PatBase which can help, including:
Using Analytics for customised, multidimensional analysis and to visually compare multiple datasets.
Text-mining to automatically identify and highlight chemical, physical, genetic and medical concepts within any full text patent.
Being able to efficiently identify the exact location of a chemical entity anywhere in the full text.
The ability to easily review and filter patent citations based on their relevance, origin and assignee.
This presentation will demonstrate how any user can benefit from the innovative features and functionality in PatBase to interrogate and visualize the patent landscape for any technical area.

One key area of revision in E 1527-13 clarifies when a review of agency files should be conducted during a Phase I environmental site assessment. For some consultants, the clarifying language on AFRs may raise the bar of what is typically conducted during a Phase I ESA. Agency file reviews can bring valuable information to a Phase I ESA investigation, but are not without their challenges. Depending on the target property involved, AFRs can vary in complexity, obtainability, location of files and level of effort. When the revised E 1527 standard takes effect later this year, you need to ensure that your reports adequately reflect the new language about when an agency file review should be conducted—and what to do if one cannot be conducted. This timely track will address the concerns and areas of confusion raised about the new requirements, including:
What’s changing?
Current industry practice in performing AFRs
Differences from state to state in terms of availability of files, travel time required, responsiveness of agencies, and inconsistent/incomplete data
Determining when an agency file review is and is not “reasonably ascertainable”
Adequately pricing Phase I ESAs given the significant variability in the level of effort required
How best to educate your clients about the new language
A slightly tongue in cheek, but still accurate take on what GIS in the real world is like. Presented to UWA GIS students in their third year, aiming to give them some understanding of what they'll face when they graduate - and also includes some career advice from the previous talk.

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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.
