It acts as a central focal point for technology insertion, leadership education, and houses the Data Access and Support Center which provides a central data repository and outreach. The Eisenhower Center works with various state and local agencies as well as private partners to support first responders with geospatial data and mobile command vehicles.
NAVTEQ and MASSGIS
This document summarizes a public-private partnership between Massachusetts and NAVTEQ to update and maintain street data for use by emergency responders. NAVTEQ did field work to collect missing street data and helped standardize data to the MSAG format. The partnership took over 2 years to fully implement but provided improved road data across agencies. The maintenance process involves quarterly data reviews and field verifications. Future plans include customizing MSAG standardization, point geocoding, and tracking data changes over time. The partnership benefits all involved by improving emergency response and saving costs compared to working separately.
2010 Census
Timothy Trainor discusses partnerships between the U.S. Census Bureau and tribal, state, and local governments as well as businesses for the 2010 Census. These partnerships helped improve address data through programs like LUCA and BAS and provided handheld technology for address canvassing from March to July 2010. Government partnerships also aided redistricting data and new statistical area programs while business partnerships offered database software, applications, geocoding, and project management services with benefits like technical expertise and staff flexibility.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
