This document discusses Vega, a next generation DeFi derivatives protocol. It summarizes that derivatives markets currently have issues like high fees, lack of liquidity for smaller clients/assets, and underdevelopment in emerging markets. Vega aims to decentralize derivatives trading through a blockchain-based protocol to provide benefits like low-cost, capital efficient trading without gas fees or front-running. It plans to launch a cross-chain derivatives exchange and provide tools for community members to create and manage new markets for underserved industries/risks. The goal is to use decentralized incentives to develop liquidity and reclaim/extend derivatives markets to more people globally.

Vega workshop_1
The document discusses an Encode 2021 hackathon workshop focused on building applications and trading bots on Vega Protocol. It provides information on hackathon challenges and prizes, developer resources for building on Vega, and an agenda for workshop events. Key topics covered include cross-chain derivatives trading, decentralized order books, creating your own markets, and leveraging blockchain access and trading data.
A decade of CDO pricing
1) The use of structured credit products grew dramatically from 1996 to 2008, especially credit default swaps and collateralized debt obligations (CDOs).
2) The Gaussian copula model was widely used to price CDOs, but it had limitations and flaws that became apparent, such as assuming a single correlation parameter and not allowing for idiosyncratic defaults.
3) More advanced models were developed to address these issues, including stochastic correlation models, implied copula approaches, and dynamic loss models. However, fitting market prices remained challenging.
Revenue Management And Dynamic Pricing Part I
Revenue management aims to maximize profits through forecasting demand and optimizing pricing and inventory allocation. It began in the airline industry where different fare classes represented different products with various restrictions. The key components of a revenue management system include a real-time transaction processor, revenue management system for forecasting, optimization and data loading, and decision support for analysts. For a single flight leg, revenue management determines optimal nested booking limits for fare classes through mathematical models that consider demand forecasts and fare prices to allocate the right mix of inventory across classes.
Magenta 3.5
NanoHoldings is raising $650 million from existing investors to acquire Magenta, a leader in plasma gasification waste-to-energy technology. Magenta has operated a commercial demonstration plant since 2008 that converts municipal solid waste into syngas to generate electricity. The acquisition will allow NanoHoldings to commercialize Magenta's proven and efficient technology, targeting 10-15% of the large global market for waste management. Projections estimate the investment could return over 9 times within 4 years upon projected sale of the company in 2018.

available on those devices, but many of the features provide convenience and capability but sacrifice security. This best practices guide outlines steps the users can take to better protect personal devices and information.
Infrastructure Challenges in Scaling RAG with Custom AI models
Building Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems with open-source and custom AI models is a complex task. This talk explores the challenges in productionizing RAG systems, including retrieval performance, response synthesis, and evaluation. We’ll discuss how to leverage open-source models like text embeddings, language models, and custom fine-tuned models to enhance RAG performance. Additionally, we’ll cover how BentoML can help orchestrate and scale these AI components efficiently, ensuring seamless deployment and management of RAG systems in the cloud.

“An Outlook of the Ongoing and Future Relationship between Blockchain Technologies and Process-aware Information Systems.” Invited talk at the joint workshop on Blockchain for Information Systems (BC4IS) and Blockchain for Trusted Data Sharing (B4TDS), co-located with with the 36th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE), 3 June 2024, Limassol, Cyprus.
Choosing The Best AWS Service For Your Website + API.pptx
Have you ever been confused by the myriad of choices offered by AWS for hosting a website or an API?
Lambda, Elastic Beanstalk, Lightsail, Amplify, S3 (and more!) can each host websites + APIs. But which one should we choose?
Which one is cheapest? Which one is fastest? Which one will scale to meet our needs?
Join me in this session as we dive into each AWS hosting service to determine which one is best for your scenario and explain why!

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on Blockchain
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

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.

Essentials of Automations: The Art of Triggers and Actions in FME
In this second installment of our Essentials of Automations webinar series, we’ll explore the landscape of triggers and actions, guiding you through the nuances of authoring and adapting workspaces for seamless automations. Gain an understanding of the full spectrum of triggers and actions available in FME, empowering you to enhance your workspaces for efficient automation.
We’ll kick things off by showcasing the most commonly used event-based triggers, introducing you to various automation workflows like manual triggers, schedules, directory watchers, and more. Plus, see how these elements play out in real scenarios.
Whether you’re tweaking your current setup or building from the ground up, this session will arm you with the tools and insights needed to transform your FME usage into a powerhouse of productivity. Join us to discover effective strategies that simplify complex processes, enhancing your productivity and transforming your data management practices with FME. Let’s turn complexity into clarity and make your workspaces work wonders!
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
