Aesthetic Green Power: History of building renewable energy 1994-2017Yulia Ovchinnikova
Solar energy can be built aesthetically integrated with engineering solution. We help to build energy Sustainable houses. Building Integrated Photo Voltaic is our signature approach and product.
Aesthetic Green Power is devoted to the proposition that buildings can be designed to supply much of their own energy through renewable sources. The concept that defines our product is building integrated photo voltaic (BIPV). We design our products as a durable weathering skin that protects the building as well as supplies it with solar electricity and optionally thermal energy.
The thermal option is defined as BITERS of building integrated thermal energy roofing systems. Our products are known to give a high priority to the look or aesthetic of the building as well whether a National Football Stadium, private residence or public space canopy.

(1) Hyatt Regency Walkway Collapse :-
On July 17, 1981, the Hyatt Regency Hotel in kansas City, Missouri, held a videotaped tea-dance
party in their atrium lobby. With many party-goers standing and dancing on the suspended
walkways, connections supporting the ceiling rods that held up the second and fourth-floor
walkways across the atrium failed, and both walkways collapsed onto the crowded first-floor
atrium below. The fourth-floor walkway collapsed onto the second-floor walkway, while the
offset third-floor walkway remained intact. As the United states\' most devastating structural
failure, in terms of loss of life and injuries, the Kansas City Hyatt Regency walkways collapse
left 114 dead and in excess of 200 injured. In addition, millions of dollars in costs resulted from
the collapse, and thousands of lives were adversely affected.
(2) TV Antenna Collapse. :-
Total collapse during installation of a 6-ton FM antenna being placed on a new 1800 ft. tower. 5
technicians killed, 3 on the hoist and 2 on the tower. It was determined that insufficient sized
bolts on a makeshift lifting lug extension failed. The falling debris severed one of the tower\'s
guy wires, causing the tower to collapse.
The following case is based on an actual incident. However, individual actors and company
names have been changed due to possible pending litigation. In addition, although conversations
and memorandums used are based on evidence surrounding the case, they are hypothetical in
nature, and are used to illustrate important issues rather than to attempt an actual reenactment of
what \"really\" happened.
In 1982, a television station video crew was filming the raising of their new television tower. The
antenna was designed and manufactured by Antenna Engineering, Inc., a moderately-sized local
firm. Riggers, Inc., a small local firm, was contracted to raise and assemble the antenna. During
the initial design, Antenna Engineering submitted antenna plans to Riggers for their approval.
Riggers approved the plans which provided for placement of the antenna hoisting lugs. These
lugs provided attachment points for lifting cables which would be used for removing the antenna
sections from the delivery truck, and for hoisting the antenna into the air for final assembly on a
1000 foot tower. A crew of riggers who had constructed such towers for many years was on-site.
The crew used a vertically-climbing crane mounted on the already constructed portion of the
tower to lift each new section of the tower, and finally, the two-section antenna onto the top of
the tower. The design called for a three-legged tower, and as each new section was lifted, it was
positioned and bolted onto the previous tower sections, one piece at a time. The tower legs were
solid steel bars with 8 inch diameters. The tower sections we.

Looking to the past to understand the future
To understand fully the future direction of the oil and gas sector here in WA, it is important to consider and recognise the recent history and current challenges being experienced. This history and current challenges formed the first section of the presentation highlighting the scale of expansion of the industry here over the past decade, where we have moved from around 20mtpa LNG to a anticipated output level of some 50mtpa in WA alone, which, when combined with the additional capacity being constructed in QLD and NT will make Australia the world’s largest exporter of LNG by the end of this decade.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

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.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

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.

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).
