Innovation Roundtable: The (actual and potential) impacts of 3D printing on b...Tim Minshall
3D printing (also known as Additive Manufacturing) has attracted a huge amount of interest. Some commentators believe that this technology has the potential to underpin a 'manufacturing revolution'. The truth is more complex and nuanced. 3D printing is not a single technology; it’s current application areas are numerous; and the impact it could have in a variety of sectors is hindered by multiple uncertainties. Researchers at the University of Cambridge and the University of Nottingham have been researching the ways in which 3D printing is changing current business models in a variety of sectors, and exploring the way in which these technologies could have a wider impact. This same team has also been gathering evidence to support the development of a UK national strategy for 3D printing / additive manufacturing. This presentation will provide an overview of the results of this research on 3D printing-enabled business model innovation, and highlight some of the current barriers and opportunities.

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.

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.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.
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.

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.

With conventional fabrication techniques of molding and welding: In the range of US$250,000
With 3D printing: In the range of US$25,000 (reduced by a factor of 10)
Production times could also dwindle from six months to just weeks.

Robohand
For roughly US$150, the 3-D printed Robohand lets Dylan, who is
missing the fingers on one hand as a result of Amniotic Band
Syndrome, grab things with bendable fingers, which most prosthetic
hands don’t.
Inventors have since provided free Robohands to South African
children, and the open-source design has been downloaded more than
3,500 times in just three months.

28. What is Rapid Tooling?
Rapid Tooling (RT) describes a process that is the result of combining
Rapid Prototyping (RP) techniques with conventional tooling practices
to produce a mold quickly or parts of a functional model from CAD data
in less time and at a lower cost relative to traditional machining
methods.

Editor's Notes

Through the phase I ITF project, we have 1) proved the concept of such optical system for assisting the diagnosis of melanoma (skin cancer);
2) Filed a patent for our design
3) One functional prototype + software system
New Balance Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) uses biomechanical data, motion capture, high speed video, sophisticated softwear and embedded sensors to transfer the strides of Olympians and World Champions into precisely what they need to go even faster.
Athletes are measured on a sensitive track to gauge the direction their foot travels whether its forward or back, left or right, and how it moves; 100 sensors are placed on an insert inside the shoe to measure pressure at different points; and a motion capture system — like the ones used for video games and movies — adds stride and broader movement into the equation.
Based on the biomechanical data, researchers printed the spike plates, the part of the shoe that actually connects with the ground, using an SLS 3D printer, and then mated to a standard upper.
All-American runner Jack Bolas became the first to wear a 3D-printed shoe in competition at January’s New Balance Games and now we wait on word for a consumer release. - See more at: http://www.runningshoe-review.com/newbalance/balance-launces-3d-print-shoes/#sthash.aBhWvlO6.dpuf
