On The Road to IoT: Looking Beyond 2015SAP Analytics
Why is the Internet of Things Important?
Analysts predict that the IoT will be more impactful than the Industrial Revolution. Whether it’s a device worn on your wrist or hooked up in your home, the IoT will not only affect your daily life but entire cities, countries, and society as a whole. The IoT allows us to collect more data and monitor more reactions to changing conditions. This in turn leads to better, faster, more efficient solutions to problems ranging from health to urban management to natural disasters.

Why does it matter that a toaster can talk to the fridge?
Why should objects in your office know where you are, and when you might need them?
They may seem trite, but these are more than just philosophical questions. They are the meat of the matter when it comes to the Internet of Things (IoT). And as an innovator, I have to have answers to such questions from my peers in the marketing community, and I need to communicate who are the leaders in the field.

Internet of Things & Hardware Industry Report 2016Bernard Moon
Overview of industry trends and insights of Fortune 500 companies and startups' activities in the Internet of Things (IoT) and hardware space. We cover connected home, wearables, healthcare, robotics & drones, and industrial IoT.
How relevant is the age of a city in determining its interest in, and ability to use, 'big data'? This briefing explores how both old and new cities have distinct advantages and disadvantages in their ability to use big data effectively, the lessons they can learn from each other, and their common challenges.
With the help of sensors on roadways and applications on the phones of drivers, cities all around the world are actively collecting real-time data about traffic patterns. The data is more than just useful for drivers and interesting for city developers, it has the potential to revolutionise the way cities manage their roadways, reduce congestion and develop neighbourhoods. But in order to utilise the data effectively, cities must often first address a gaping disconnection between the value of the data they collect and the resources available to put them to work—starting with strong leadership.

The interpretation of the relationship among big data, IoT and smart city - C...Antenna Manufacturer Coco
Big data is an intangible means of production in the information society. Its concept has been repeatedly interpreted by various sectors of the society. However, many people are unclear about the relationship between the big data, the Internet of Things, and the smart city. In this regard, Tong Fang Internet of Things Industrial Technology Division Zhao Ying made a detailed interpretation of this.
Planning Liveable Cities With Big Social DataMatt Low
Big social data – data collected from online social networks such as Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare and Yelp – can provide new insights into the dynamics of cities. Billions of data points can be harvested to understand how people move around the city and how they experience the urban environment. Deeper, real-time urban insights provide the evidence base for planning more liveable cities – building more responsive transport systems, developing unique neighbourhood identities, and designing more attractive places.
These new data sets are especially useful for addressing gaps within the urban planner’s
toolbox. Firstly, while the pace of change in cities accelerates, conventional data sets (such as Census data or surveys) are updated infrequently. Secondly, there is limited data about the invisible dimensions of cities – sentiment, movement, and social networks.

BIG DATA AND BIG CITIES: THE PROMISES AND LIMITATIONS
OF IMPROVED MEASURES OF URBAN LIFE
EDWARD L. GLAESER, SCOTT DUKE KOMINERS, MICHAEL LUCA and NIKHIL NAIK∗
New, “big data” sources allow measurement of city characteristics and outcome
variables at higher collection frequencies and more granular geographic scales than
ever before. However, big data will not solve large urban social science questions
on its own. Big urban data has the most value for the study of cities when it allows
measurement of the previously opaque, or when it can be coupled with exogenous shocks
to people or place. We describe a number of new urban data sources and illustrate how
they can be used to improve the study and function of cities. We first show how Google
Street View images can be used to predict income in New York City, suggesting that
similar imagery data can be used to map wealth and poverty in previously unmeasured
areas of the developing world. We then discuss how survey techniques can be improved to
better measure willingness to pay for urban amenities. Finally, we explain how Internet
data is being used to improve the quality of city services. (JEL R1, C8, C18)

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).
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.

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.

Research Services clearly shows that most public sector agencies are struggling
to deliver better service to their citizens while contending with severe financial
constraints. But a host of technology innovations can help ensure safety, further improve
quality of life and increase confidence in government. SAP’s public sector industry team
presents some ideas on how public sector leaders can bridge the gap between what they
want to deliver and what their budgets will enable them to do.
What are some leading-edge innovations that can help public sector agencies harness the

will benefit greatly from the innovations we deliver. We think the SAP HANA platform
should play a key role in helping public sector agencies rapidly and easily crunch very large
volumes of granular data and take immediate action—which is where traditional relational
databases fail.
Modern analytical tools powered by the SAP HANA platform can help agencies exploit
the opportunity of big data by empowering users to access information anywhere, adapt
to changing conditions, more accurately predict outcomes and, ultimately, make better
decisions. Analytics tools are now much more intuitive and powerful, and they are no
longer the domain of a select few data analysts and scientists. Instead, real-time analytics
presented in easy-to-digest visual form are now available for all stakeholders.
How does a public sector agency get started, given budget constraints?
Agencies should identify and prioritize use cases that could provide value to the public
and that big data can address. They should also take into consideration the technical and
organizational feasibility, along with the potential value of the identified use cases.
Target the highest value use case(s) first and then consider taking a phased approach to
deploying a big data framework that is optimized across devices and delivery options—
cloud, on-premises or hybrid. Next, implement an integrated real-time reporting and
analytics solution and make it available.
