SOCIO-TECHNICAL COLLABORATIVE SECURITY SUPPORT SYSTEM(STCS3 )ijistjournal
In this paper, we describe the structure and the methodologies incorporated with implementation and development of socio-technical collaborative security support system considering it as a life critical system. The first section provides a brief introduction followed by the section for problem statement and factors of LCS. We have also discussed about the methodologies used to implement the system. Moreover, we have also explained the comparison with currently used tools along with recommendation for the future work.
Safety and Security of a citizen is always a field of interest in current day’s digital revolution, innovation and inventions. With collaborative work environment and real time information sharing, we can generate situation awareness, whereas without it, it becomes really difficult to reduce the response time of the security personals as they will have lack of reliable information and on the other hand the city structure and traffic structure is very unpredictable. This problem lay down government officials in the situation where they really want to reduce the response time but they do not have means to do it.

Networking smartphones for disaster recovery using teamphoneIJARIIT
In this paper, we examine how to use networks with smartphones for providing communications in disaster recovery.
By lessening the communication gap among different kinds of wireless networks, we have designed and implemented a system
called TeamPhone, which provides Android phones the capabilities on communications in disaster helper. TeamPhone
consists of two components: a messaging system between rescue worker and the victim and a self-rescue system. The
messaging system between rescue worker and victim integrates cellular networking, ad-hoc networking, and opportunistic
networking seamlessly, and enables proper communication. The self-rescue system finds different communication network
ways for trapped survivors. Such a group of Android phones can cooperatively get a notification and send out emergency
messages in an energy-efficient manner with their location and position information so as to help rescue operations. We have
implemented TeamPhone as a prototype application on the Android platform and deployed it on all types of smartphones from
Samsung to Redmi and others. Results demonstrate that TeamPhone can properly enhance communication requirements and
increase the pace of disaster recovery. We are creating three applications with a centralized cloud for communication. First for
the admin who will monitor victim and rescue worker on Google map and other two for rescue worker and disaster victim.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

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).

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

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!

Automation
1.
2. Automation, as I understand, is the process of making non living entities operate
themselves, automatically, or with minimum human intervention.
Now the question arises why, where and how should we let non living entities operate
themselves automatically?
The answer to why: Because, though man is the most intelligent creature in the universe, he
is bound by physical limitations. Thus, to overcome situations when human resources alone
do not suffice, or is scarce, automated systems should be used. Thus, automated systems
can be used to increase productivity, quality, consistency, to reduce risk and damage to
living entities whenever and however possible.
The answer to where: Wherever man cannot reach, or has difficulty operating, he should
use machines. Automated systems can thus prove to be invaluable in multiple sectors .
For example: Where diligent labour, accuracy, precision, speed, etc., are of prime
importance. Manufacturing units, transport sectors, defence, security, high risk zones and
many such other sectors are using automated systems.
The answer to how: By imparting some level of artificial intelligence(AI) to the system.
Various types of automation control methods and tools are used to make a machine be
able to operate itself ‘automatically’.
Control methods such as open and closed loop, system state control, computer control
determine how the system will be regulated.
Various types of automation tools such as ANN, DCS, HMI,SCADA, PLC, robotics, etc.,
determine how the system will learn by using its AI , and adapt to changing environmental
variables.
3. Trends in automation that catch my eye are :
In transport sector : Unmanned vehicles. Google’s self driving car is
creating a lot of buzz.
In industries: Automated systems are dedicatedly being used in
production units, waste management, etc.
In security: Use of automated system in video surveillances, in home
security, in defence systems.
In disaster management : In calamity stricken areas where providing
human aid would be risky, automated systems can be used for disaster
control and mitigation.
Trends which are expected to see a big surge in the next five years
would be :
Use of automation in unmanned transport systems, in security, in disaster
management.
Automation should be put to more use in disaster management, as
human life and property is most severely affected during a calamity,
and thus we should take more measures to help reduce the effects.
4. I am very much interested in the use of automation in disaster management and
mitigation.
Natural calamities have a profound impact upon our biosphere and society in general.
It is often difficult to send aid because of environmental factors, and even those that
carry aid are at a high risk.
How I would innovate:
Automated systems can be used to periodically monitor geo satellites to look for clues
of any impending disaster, by use of machine learning and pattern recognition.
For example, neural network architecture can be used to predict wildfires,
earthquakes, etc. Unmanned vehicles can be used to carry aid in rough weather. Such
unmanned vehicles can be remotely controlled using HMI.
Automated systems that can process the natural languages of the people of the
calamity stricken area can be used to interact with them, and carry forward their
problems and requirements to their human controllers, and receive solutions from them
and act upon it.
Given a chance, I intend to work on the use of automated systems in disaster
management and mitigation, which will primarily use HMI and ANN as the automation
tools. ANN will be used so that the automated system can also monitor environmental
factors, and thus help in controlling epidemics which often occur as aftermath of
natural disaster.
