Ericsson white paper - Device connectivity unlocks valueEricsson France
Device connectivity unlocks value – operator opportunity in an emerging business environment
New revenue opportunities are emerging for mobile operators through the delivery of machine-to-machine (M2M) and consumer-device connectivity services, which add value for enterprises and consumers. Maximizing revenues in this area demands a cost-efficient, flexible approach that enables a high degree of differentiation and customization.
The world is already highly connected and it's about to get even more so: today, there are about five billion mobile subscriptions worldwide. As devices of all kinds become connected, there will be more mobile subscriptions than people on the planet. Ericsson envisions an increase in the number of connected devices by a factor of ten over the coming decade.
The mass market for M2M and consumer device connectivity is growing fast and represents an enormous opportunity for mobile operators who can address the challenge of delivering cost-effective and customized connectivity with minimal process costs.
A broad range of industries will deploy connected devices; everything from transport and health care, mining and agriculture, to manufacturing and commerce (in areas such as point of sale, vending, remote information displays and digital signage).
To serve the divergent needs of these different segments, operators will need provisioning systems capable of handling very large numbers of connections, as well as infrastructure with QoS mechanisms that can handle massive amounts of simultaneous differentiated sessions.
Telecommunication Regulatory Reforms Driven By Ngn A Case Study Of KenyaNjiraini Mwende
Next Generation Networks (NGN) enable the delivery of multiple services independent of and over different access and core networks. This trend of separation of infrastructure and services is challenging existing regulatory models. To take advantage of the opportunities that NGN offer governments are supporting the development of dynamic and responsive regulatory frameworks, to enable incumbents and new entrants to offer new and innovative services.
This paper is provides the regulatory responses to NGN in Kenya using the metrics of regulation and licensing, competition, technology neutrality, resource allocation, interconnection, public participation, universal access and infrastructure sharing.
Comparative analysis of LTE backbone transport techniques for efficient broad...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
In the bid to bring about a solution to the nagging problem associated with the provision of
ubiquitous broadband access, Next Generation Network (NGN) popularly referred to as Long Term Evolution
(LTE) network with appropriate network integration technique is recommended as solution. Currently,
Internet Protocol/Multi-Protocol Label Switching (IP/MPLS) is the transport technique in LTE backbone
infrastructure. This technique, however, suffers significantly in the event of failure of IP path resulting in delay
and packet loss budgets across the network. The resultant effect is degradation in users quality of service
(QoS) experience with real-time services. A competitive alternative is the Internet Protocol/Asynchronous
Transfer Mode (IP/ATM). This transport technique provides great dynamism in the allocation of bandwidth
and supports varying requests of multimedia connections with diverse QoS requirements. This paper,
therefore, seeks to evaluate the performance of these two transport techniques in a bid to establish
the extent to which the latter technique ameliorates the aforementioned challenges suffered by the previous
technique. Results from the simulation show that the IP/ATM transport scheme is superior to the IP/MPLS
scheme in terms of average bandwidth utilization, mean traffic drop and mean traffic delay in the ratio of 9.8,
8.7 and 1.0% respectively.
With the explosion of mobile devices, software developers must exploit opportunities at the application layer and apply location-and presence-aware data to deliver services relevant to enterprises and consumers.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

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!

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).

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).
