Testing Challenges and Approaches in Edge ComputingAxel Rennoch
As known from the Internet of Things (IoT) testing there also exist multiple challenges for the Edge Computing (EC) quality assurance and automated testing process. Developers and QA experts need to understand specific requirements and possible approaches to be applied in Edge Computing Test design, definition and execution. Special attention will be given to existing approaches, testing techniques and tools which follow standardized methods, are freely available and successfully applied for various mobile and fixed network solutions.

#SiriusCon 2015: Talk by Christophe Boudjennah "Experimenting the Open Source...Obeo
Capella is a Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) solution using Sirius for its diagrams rendering.
It has been initially developed in house by Thales and has been open sourced (in Polarsys) within the context of the CLARITY project. This was actually the very first step of CLARITY, which aims at developing and structuring an international ecosystem around Capella. The CLARITY project now investigates customization capabilities for Capella and aims at complementing the ecosystem with a community that brings together major actors of the entire engineering value chain (industrials, integrators, technology providers and consultants, academia) for open innovation in MBSE within Capella.
In this context, Areva and Airbus Defence & Space already made lots of experimentations and are helping the ecosystem to mature up by providing feedbacks to the community. In this talk, you will get an overview of what those 2 Industrial companies have realized so far.
[About Christophe Boudjennah:
Christophe is a senior system/software architect and project manager. His experience leads him to work for various domains such as defense, IT, or the Automotive industry. Most of his career has been focused on Systems Engineering for complex embedded systems, whether it is from the "methods and tools provider" point of view or from the operational one. He is now working for Obeo, and is dealing with various open source and systems engineering related topics. One of his current main responsibilities is to be the project coordinator of Clarity, a large R&D project whose purpose is to open-source Capella (an industrial workbench for system engineering).]
Innovation screening top view assessment - novocus legal llpRuchica Kumar
In the highly competitive world of knowledge driven economization, innovation is the key to success. But, without some way of screening innovation, firms would merely be gambling, which would be high risk and might prove to be low return from a cumulative perspective. In order to supply state of the art solutions on a systems level, new technologies must be continually mastered, even before they are required in final products. Hence, there is a need for a holistic innovation map and spillover analysis before pursuing patent protection for any technology or product/process idea. This concept would also be equally applicable for early stage technologies and cases where commercialization needs to be done based on prototypes.
Technology choices should be made on the basis of sustainability. This presentation describes a framework for sustainability assessment of technologies. The framework was developed for UNEP's International Environmental Technology Center and has been widely applied and tested.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

DASA: FASS 2: Competition overview and technical briefing
1. OFFICIAL
Agenda
• Competition overview (Tim Cook);
• A policy and science and technology perspective (James MacDonald);
• An airport perspective (Andy Price);
• How the competition will work (Emma Howe);
• Questions for the panel
2. OFFICIAL
Competition Overview
Two possible Challenges Two possible Tracks
Challenge 1: central
security screening
• Could compliment
existing X-Ray or
EDSCB technology
towards reaching
highest standards
(electronics in bag);
• Could support alarm
resolution (potentially
out of bag
electronics);
• Could be a completely
novel solution
Challenge 2: portable
screening
• at security points
other than central
search;
• an alternative to
current measures (not
an addition);
Track 1: low TRL entry (up
to TRL 4)
• Phase 1:
• TRL 2-4;
• 6 months;
• £40-80k /
project;
• £1m total.
• Phase 2:
• TRL 4-6;
• 12 months;
• £200k+ /
project;
• £1.5m total.
Track 2: higher TRL entry
(TRL 6 or higher)
• Single Phase;
• 4 months of
experimental
development;
• Trial in July;
• £50k-£100k
anticipated.
For both challenges, we’re not just looking for solutions to detect concealed explosive devices/components. We’d
also be interested in solutions to identify electrical items that may have been tampered with, or which appear to
be out of the ordinary.
4. OFFICIAL
Key points
Current screening technology needs to meet a regulated
standard but for this competition we’re open to innovative
approaches which may not fall within current regulatory
frameworks.
In your proposal, you should consider the integration of any proposed
solution into the working practises of potential users (for example security
officers) and potential location, by explaining your proposed concept of use,
any size implications, and any training requirements.
we’re looking for ambitious and innovative proposals to
help prevent the widest possible range of explosives
devices/components hidden in electrical items being taken
on to an aircraft in passenger hand luggage
We’re interested in projects that consider a systems
approach, including the potential to integrate with other
existing technologies. Where possible you should use open
systems architecture to maximise the potential for
integration with current or other new systems.
5. OFFICIAL
Exploitation
it’s important that you clearly describe your exploitation
path and provide evidence to demonstrate how your
technology will deliver a step-change in aviation security
This competition will take advantage of the Accelerator Innovation Partner and FASS
programme to stimulate contact between bidders and other parties to aid the
exploitation of the successful outputs of the projects funded. Any such discussions
between will be entirely at your own commercial judgement
Successful technologies might also be exploited in other areas of detection and the screening
process (such as the identification of concealed Chemical, Biological or Radiological (CBR)
threat material and/or screening of electrical items within hold baggage and cargo).
6. OFFICIAL
If you have a proposal that doesn’t fit into the scope of this
competition, please consider the Accelerator Open Call for
Innovation as a potential route for funding
Proposals will be assessed by subject matter experts from the
HO, DfT, Dstl, other government departments, international
government partners and representatives from airlines and
airports who will be under the appropriate confidentiality
agreements.
Technical queries about this competition should be sent to:
FASS@dft.gsi.gov.uk and copied to accelerator@dstl.gov.uk
Other info
For this competition we’re not interested in proposals for:
•consultancy
•paper-based studies or literature reviews
•solutions that don’t offer significant benefit to security
•projects that only offer a written report
•projects that can’t demonstrate feasibility within the phase 1 timescale
