Capacity charging mechanism for shared CO2 transportation and storage infrast...Global CCS Institute
While technical and legal barriers to CCS are diminishing, the difficulty in building a sound commercial case for the development and operation of CCS infrastructure remains a serious obstacle. One way to significantly reduce the cost of CCS is to realise economies of scale by sharing a single CO2 transportation and storage infrastructure system among several operators of CO2 capture plants.
This webinar, presented by Calum Hughes, Director - CCS at Yellow Wood Energy and Dave Bevan, Commercial Developer at National Grid Carbon (UK), will provide insight into the commercial charging mechanism developed by National Grid for a shared CCS infrastructure system. In particular, various options for allocating system development and operational costs between members of an infrastructure network will be explored.

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!

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).

Brief presentation fleet of ships optimized programming
1. Programa de Atualização Profissional
Fleet of Ships Optimized Programming
methodology summary
by Gláucio Bastos, M.B.A., Ch.E.
2. Programa de Atualização Profissional
abstract
target: from true characteristics of various types of fleets of
ships and service vessels, cargoes and ports, it is generated
a large number of ships scheduling initial solutions to serve
loads in their ports, which will be refined in several
optimization steps until achievement of a viable solution for
greater financial return; this solution is then refined to
produce the best 'timing’ decision for shipments starting,
considering constraints in ports, docks availability, and stock
levels in case of bulk cargo
3. Programa de Atualização Profissional
neeed
during the last decades there has been an increase in
competition among shipping companies, squeezing profit
margins to a minimum
this situation is caused and amplified by the consolidation of
the manufacturing sector, giving greater market power for
cargo owners and shippers
to reduce this imbalance, there have been many mergers
among shipping companies in the pursuit of scale
economies gains
4. Programa de Atualização Profissional
neeed
this trend of mergers and groupings leads to larger fleets,
distributed geographically in extensive areas which require
more efficient management
this picture of high complexity and dynamism makes
uncertainties and delays inevitable phenomena in the
operation of shipping, caused by factors such as adverse
weather conditions, mechanical breakdowns, strikes and
insufficient infrastructure, both in port and on board
5. Programa de Atualização Profissional
neeed
in this context and considering the long lead times involved,
it is imperative to shipping companies ensure efficiency by
generating quality schedules based on advanced methods
for decision support in terms of reliability and punctuality,
which currently are the shortest and most effective way for
achieving cost savings and generating higher profit margins
6. Programa de Atualização Profissional
fleet characteristics
in shipping can be distinguished 03 different modes of
operations:
industrial - the cargo owner also owns a fleet of vessels
to transport it, the load is a certain amount of product to
be shipped from one port to another within time
windows, all charges are mandatory and must be met by
the fleet available, no optional spot cargoes, the goal is
to minimize costs
7. Programa de Atualização Profissional
fleet characteristics
in shipping can be distinguished 03 different modes of
operations:
tramp – operations that are similar to a taxi service,
where ships carry available loads, is normal to an
operator having some contractual charges and other
options that can be met if considered profitable, the goal
is to maximize profit; and
liner – operations that are similar to regular shipping
lines, where the boats sail by pre-booked and published
itineraries seeking to maximize their profit
8. Programa de Atualização Profissional
issue description
the problem of ship schedule as analyzed here, applies to
any type of fleet and can be a maximization problem of cost
or profit and may involve contracts of affreightment (COA),
signed to transport certain amounts or types of cargo
between specified ports or among specific operations
within a certain period, for an agreed payment per tonne or
per service
there are cases where the fleet does not have enough
capacity to meet all COAs during the planning horizon, so
some loads can be met by spot charters, chartered for just a
trip
9. Programa de Atualização Profissional
issue description
time windows are imposed for loading and sometimes also
for unloading
depending on the operation, the ships can serve single or
multiple loads simultaneously with a new charging port
being played and some cargo remaining on board
operations are considered with existing vessels without
changes in fleet size for the short term, out of such changes
are not interesting
10. Programa de Atualização Profissional
issue description
fixed costs are disregarded, since do not influence the
planning of optimum routes and schedules
variable costs of travel are considered mainly from
consumption of fuel oil and diesel
it is considered a heterogeneous fleet of ships with special
features, including different cost structures and load
capacities
fees are charged for use of the port and channel, depending
on the size of the vessel

solution
• using MSLS heuiístics *
solution steps:
1ª: large amount (no_init) of initial solution are
generated by a partially random insertion heuristic of
cargo on ships schedules
2ª: a certain amount (no_quick) of the best (by profit or
cost criterion) initial solutions are improved by a fast
local search heuristic
3ª: it is selected a certain amount (no_extended) of the
best quick local search solutions to be enhanced by a
extended local search heuristic

from data of:
13 ships
50 cargoes
9 ports located among southeast USA and west Europe
the following developments in profit fleet were obtained:
to no_init = 100, no_quick = 6, no_extended = 1
init. sol.: worst = $ 628.638 / best = $ 1.127.639

results
conclusions:
to a smaller number of initial solutions, it is evident the
effective contribution of each optimization level to
achieve the best final solution
for a large number of initial solutions, the optimization
included in his generation algorithm is sufficient to reach
the best solution, even before the next two optimization
levels
so as was hit the nearest optimal solution, it can
hardly be optimized and is better than that achieved
with a smaller number of initial solutions, featuring
the robustness of the results

if the fleet is designed to bulk transport, e.g. LNG, between
liquefaction port (load) and regasification port (unload), it is
considered availability of docks and stock (between
maximum and minimum levels) at liquefaction port
if production exceeds contractual obligations for LNG
delivery spot cargoes are sold on the market, including
through other shipping company’s ships, considered as a
means of controlling the inventory level without profit
associated
21. Programa de Atualização Profissional
issue extension
customers specify certain dates or periods - windows of
time - when may or may not accept deliveries
from the time window for supplying is determined the time
window for loading
delivery should occur within the time windows:
internal – periods of customer preference, and
external – besides internal comprises additional periods
of a few days before and after the internal
delivery must necessarily take place inside the external
window which comprises also the inner window
if delivery occurs in periods between internal and external
window, there will be contractual penalties, as exemplified
in the following figure
22. Programa de Atualização Profissional
issue extension
example of penalty cost function proportional to the square of the number of days
before or after the inner window on which delivery is made - inner window is 7 days
and outer window also contains 7 more days before and after the inner window
23. Programa de Atualização Profissional
issue extension results
considering the same data and the solution given for the 1st
part of the problem, in the extension through application of
MILP method, came out the solution for minimization of
penalty cost, including not only the docks restrictions but
also the LNG stock in liquefaction port
in next figure are presented the optimal time partitions
defined for boarding each LNG cargo within a time window
with the total of 21 continuous partitions: 07 partitions of
the inner window with more 07 before and 07 after
completing the external window
