TIGER/Line Data in the Cloud - Tom MacWright
The document summarizes making open TIGER/Line data from the US Census Bureau useful in the cloud. It details that over 125GB of TIGER/Line road and geographic boundary data took over 12 hours to download, unzip, and upload to Amazon's cloud. Once in the cloud, a mapping server could be booted up in a minute and the TIGER data connected in two minutes, providing open-source mapping capabilities for over 14,000 school districts and areas without restrictive licenses. Cloud computing allows for scalability while open-source mapping software enables grassroots involvement in projects like OpenStreetMap.
Mobile and Crisis Communication
This document discusses how mobile phones can be used effectively during a crisis to share information. It notes that trying to push information to people on their mobile phones during an emergency may not work well due to network stresses. Instead, it suggests listening to what information people want to share about the crisis through their personal and social media use on mobile devices. Mobile phones can provide valuable insights into an unfolding crisis situation from first-hand sources.
Google Kipendo - Phil Dixon
Google Kipendo is Google's crisis response function that aims to build relationships with other organizations, integrate their data with Google technology, and provide an awareness platform before, during, and after crises. The goal is to improve Google's crisis response capabilities. It has growing staff of full-time employees and others contributing 20% of their time. At the event, the Google Kipendo team wanted to learn what assistance is needed from others, who can help, and what not to do, and share ideas like Google MapMaker and data/imagery sharing of medical, logistical, and avoidance area information.

Waidyanathat sahana cap-alert_hub-workshop2018
This document discusses using blockchain technology to create a decentralized and authenticated alert network. It proposes storing alert messages as "assets" on a blockchain, with publishers and subscribers as participants. Key transactions would include publishing, updating, deleting alerts, and acknowledging receipt. This could provide reliable attribution, integrity and help scale alerting beyond traditional systems by allowing many-to-many communication. However, some open questions remain around transaction speed and how well existing blockchain platforms model alert messaging requirements. The document also explores using the Interplanetary File System (IPFS) as an alternative to blockchains for an immutable and decentralized storage and distribution of alerts.

The Quality “Logs”-Jam: Why Alerting for Cybersecurity is Awash with False Po...
What happens when the (Observe) Plan-Do-Check-Adjust cycle is undermined by lapses in data integrity? Observations are questioned. Plans may be ill-conceived. Actions may be undertaken that undermine rather than enhance. “Checks” can fail. Adjustments may be guesswork. In cybersecurity, the results of poor data integrity can be expensive outages, ransom requests, breaches, fines -- even bankruptcy (think Cambridge Analytica). But data integrity issues take many forms, ranging from benign to malicious. The full range of these issues is surveyed from a cybersecurity perspective, where logs and alerts are critical for defenders -- as well as quality engineers . Techniques borrowed from model-based systems engineering and ontology AI to are identified that can mitigate these deleterious effects on PDCA.

Log Standards & Future Trends by Dr. Anton Chuvakin
This document discusses log standards and future trends in logging. It outlines the current state of log chaos, with no standard formats, schemas, taxonomies, or transport mechanisms. This results in logs being difficult to analyze and make sense of. The document then discusses past attempts at log standards that failed and proposes that a common event expression standard could help bring order to the chaos by establishing common log syntax, taxonomy, transport, and recommendations. This would allow for improved log management, correlation, and security analysis capabilities. It also notes that growing log volumes will continue to pose challenges and will need to be addressed.

Mark Freeman from Siemens presented on PROFIBUS International and basics of PROFIBUS and PROFINET. He discussed the global support structure of PROFIBUS International including 59 PI Competence Centers, 32 PI Training Centers, and 9 PI Test Laboratories worldwide. He also provided an overview of PROFIBUS and PROFINET node counts over time as well as a comparison of the two protocols.Digital Media Production
The solution space for professional media producers is fundamentally changing, as well as the requirements induced by the market.
Media have to be available on any device, by non-linear distribution and preferably in high-definition. These requirements translate to the back-office that has to become more agile and to scale out, while improving in terms of performance and stability.
Since it is not probable that conventional IT nor media technology suppliers will be able to take this hurdle - because they can't manage the complexity or because they are not allowed to do so by their shareholders, there is an opportunity for newcomers able to provide a solution.
OpenStreetMap in Palestine - Mikel Maron
OpenStreetMap aimed to create a free and open map of Palestine by crowdsourcing mapping contributions. They found that existing maps were expensive, outdated, incomplete or politically biased.

It would connect emerging tools and legacy systems to share patient records and prioritize care.
Crisis Networking and Public Warning in Disaster - Colin Flood
This document discusses a student's senior thesis topic on the future of disaster public warning systems in the United States. The student plans to investigate current federal and local warning systems, as well as how Harvard University issues emergency notifications. They will also examine how informal warning networks spread information rapidly during crises. The goal of the research is to determine how official warning systems can better utilize informal crisis networks for two-way communication and information gathering during emergencies.
Citizen Reporting - Andrew Turner
Citizen Participation in Crisis Response & Rebuilding involves starting with an idea, finding engineers to build software and tools to address citizen needs during emergencies, launching platforms to share data and provide feeds and APIs, giving feedback to iterate and improve solutions, and continuing to build supportive communities. The document references examples like Twitter Vote Report and Ushahidi that created tools to help during disasters like Hurricane Katrina by working within existing information flows and identifying ways citizens could support each other.
Networked Homeland Security - David Stephenson
The document discusses how networked technologies like social media, mobile devices, and alert systems can transform homeland security by empowering the public to become partners rather than just recipients of information. It argues that these networked technologies allow for more effective emergency response in a crisis by spreading information in real-time to the edges of the network. However, it notes that policies, procedures, and partnerships still need to be developed to better govern and improve public participation when utilizing these networked technologies for homeland security.
Mobile Phones in a Crisis - Dave Levy
Mobile phones may not be the best way to disseminate information during a crisis. The cell network is already stressed under normal conditions and will become overloaded during an emergency. When a crisis occurs, people's priority is often to share information with their social networks on mobile phones rather than receiving official communications. Instead of pushing messages to audiences, organizations should listen to how the crisis is being discussed on mobile devices and social media and provide information that addresses people's actual needs. Mobile technology provides opportunities for two-way communication that can help response efforts.
WTF Is the Semantic Web? - Greg Elin

2) Resources are any digital object that can be identified on the web, such as documents, books, and people.
3) Triples use the structure of subject-predicate-object to express relationships between resources, like "Clay Shirky wrote Here Comes Everyone."
4) The Semantic Web enables "automated content enhancement" by linking resources on the web through the use of triples.
5) Linked Open Data aims to link data on the web in the same open and

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
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.
