Failing to learn from Australia’s most successful defence projectWilliam Hall
Presents the history of the now defunct Australian defense contractor, Tenix Defence, as a case study in success and failure in managing large engineering projects.
Over its 20 year history, (2) Tenix successfully completed Australia's largest defense ($7 bn) project to build 10 ANZAC Frigates for Australia and New Zealand on-time, on-budget, for a healthy company profit against a stringently fixed price contract; and customers that are still happy with their ships and support 7 years after the last ship was delivered; and (2) failed so miserably on the next largish project to build 7 simpler ships for New Zealand that Tenix's owners decided to auction all of their defence assets. Also, in the 21st Century and despite the ANZAC success, the $8 bn Air Warfare Destroyer (AWD) project to build 3 ships is years behind schedule and billions over budget.
For more than 17 years of this history the author was a knowledge management systems analyst with access to most areas of company operations and thus able to observe sources of the successes and failures (including from the vantage point of Tenix's bid development for the AWD. The presentation shows that most successes and failures related to the ways in which Tenix managed their corporate and human knowledge, and attempts to infer some critical lessons that should be learned from this history.

Successful Mine Rehabilitation and Sustainability - a Q&A with Nigel FisherIQPC Australia
Nigel Fisher discusses best practices for integrating mine closure into everyday operations. He notes that mine site rehabilitation requires both technical knowledge of below and above ground ecological components as well as effective management. Key technical issues include understanding soil microbial communities, pollinator and seed dispersal availability, and protecting genetic diversity through seed collection. Major obstacles to successful rehabilitation are technical/scientific challenges, inconsistent regulatory environments, and attitudes prioritizing costs over outcomes. Sustainability is measured by establishing biodiverse vertical vegetation structure through all life cycles and monitoring for reproductive success over generations.

Q&A with David Thiel the real benefits and concerns of Electromagnetic Geophy...IQPC Australia
Surface-based electromagnetic geophysics can help mining companies with feasibility studies in the following ways:
1) It provides information on overburden, faults, intrusions, aquifers, and old workings to a depth of 50-100 meters, which helps with mine planning and infrastructure development without being a fully comprehensive assessment of the deposit.
2) It can identify rock and soil types and their conductivity, as well as dislocations, which allows for detailed mine planning with precision over 1 meter.
3) While interpretations require geological knowledge and the technique can be influenced by certain surface conditions, electromagnetic geophysics is cost-effective as it reduces the need for extensive drilling and leaves no surface disruption after feasibility studies
Definitive Feasibility study is essential in determining the potential profitability and productivity of a Mining Project. However, stringent legislation, time restrictions, a shortage of skilled technical staff along with no guarantee of financial approval, makes conducting a feasibility study difficult. IQPC’s 5th Annual conference on Mine Site Feasibility, along with our 4 specialised workshops, will equip you with the information you need in order to improve the overall management and success of your feasibility study.Hearing from experienced industry professionals will help you in the development of your own feasibility study.
Mine Site Feasibility’s success is evident as in 2011 we will be reproducing the event for the 5th time. The improved and updated event will maintain its relevance as it will answer the immediate issues facing today’s Mining market.

Overview of issues associated with Coal Processing by Industry ProfessionalsIQPC Australia
The document summarizes responses from three industry experts on challenges facing coal processing optimization:
1) Derek Scantlebury notes balancing return on investment while optimizing the entire production process from mining to shipping is challenging without scientifically comparing upgrade results.
2) Dr. Peter Koh explains increasing throughput requires higher pulp densities, causing viscosity issues, and computational fluid dynamics can help identify problem areas.
3) Jacques Dippenaar says identifying key faults allows focusing on strategic planning instead of reactive problem-solving and quantifying improvements requires cost and production data.

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).

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.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
