The document discusses the Province of Ogliastra's adoption of 3D GIS services and SkylineGlobe technology. It describes a 3-phase process of upgrading planning tools, providing support to municipalities, and recognizing opportunities from new data. A key outcome was developing a 3D terrain model and web GIS platform for spatial analysis and sharing information to support landscape planning and other initiatives. The 3D system allows integrated visualization, analysis and promotion of spatial data and trails.
GIS systems enable the electronic management of spatial data and facilitate its visualisation; they are specialised forms of information systems that are conceived solely for use with spatial data. Their purpose is the collection, modelling, storage, manipulation, analysis, retrieval and presentation of geodata. During the Smart Cities Project we examined the geobased services that were being used by the project’s six municipal partners. This guide provides a detailed review of the systems that are being used by two of these partners – the City of Edinburgh Council in Scotland, and Kristiansand Kommune in Norway – who had the most advanced geobased infrastructures in the Smart Cities partnership.

The main aim (purpose) of the IMPULS project has been to assist beneficiary organisations in the Western Balkan region to develop cross-border compati-ble National Spatial Data Infrastructures (NSDI’s) in accordance with the principles of the European INSPIRE Directive.
The project has been funded by Sida (Sida’s contribution no: 55020189) and implemented in the region of Western Balkan from June 2014 to December 2019.
The Expected Project impacts have been:
• INSPIRE Directive is implemented in the region, enabling the beneficiary countries to meet the EU-requirements in this area;
• Interoperable content and services are delivered efficiently, supporting the development of e-government in each country as well as adding value to government and local administration, all in accordance with the Public-Sector Information (PSI) Directive; and
• Implementation of the INSPIRE Directive, supported through this project, has contributed to the economic development, transparency of ownership and anticorruption processes, in accordance with SEE 2020 (specifically in the dimensions” Competitiveness”, “Effective public services” and “Anti-corruption”.
Following outcomes has been expected:
• Beneficiary Organisations understand how they contribute to an efficient SDI and have a clear view of the different SDI roles (user, producer and coordinator) and there are mutual respects between agencies having these roles throughout the region.
• Beneficiary Organisations are using data from other sources, both national and regional, and using the different components in the SDI (metadata, portal, services etc.) when producing, using and providing data.
• Beneficiary Organisations are proactively driving the SDI-work and re-moving obstacles to share data in the region as well as actively developing and promoting NSDI’s. Beneficiary Organisations are working in national and regional forums with different organisations as the normal way of working, using the network and roles initiated by the IMPULS project for regular meetings and ad hoc task force when needed.
Lantmäteriet has been the implementing partner of the project, working to-gether with the State Geodetic Administration of the Republic of Croatia (SGA).
The beneficiary organisations in the Wester Balkan region have been:
• State Agency of Cadastre (SAC), previously Immovable Property Central Registration Office of the Republic of Albania (IPRO)
• State Authority for Geospatial Information in Albania (ASIG)
• Federal Administration for Geodetic and Real Property Affairs of FB&H (FGA)

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.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
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.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

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).

2. Province of Ogliastra’s GIS services and 3D
The adaptation to the Regional Landscape Plan
• Province of Ogliastra is a young administration established in
2001 through enactment of a regional law by the Autonomous
Region of Sardinia.
• Following the entry into force, in 2006, of the Regional
Landscape Plan (PPR) of the Autonomous Region of Sardinia
(RAS), the Province of Ogliastra undertook the process of
upgrading its Provincial Urban Plan (PUP) to the above
mentioned PPR and to the Hydrogeological Plan (PAI).
• 1° Phase: a large amount of data, mostly derived from the old
PUP of the Province of Nuoro.

The reordering of knowledge
• In 2° phase, called the "reordering of knowledge", analyzes and
processes of adaptation of the Provincia of Ogliastra’s PUP to
PPR have been partly replaced and partly implemented by
integrating into the system the large amount of information
material made available by the RAS:
– updated orthophotomaps;
– geodatabase in scale 1:10.000;
– Digital Terrain Models (DTM) and a list of different thematic maps.
• A new series of territorial analysis has been produced, later
used both at the provincial and at the municipal level.

Support to municipalities and shared planning
• In a 3° phase of "co-planning," the Planning Office of the
Province of Ogliastra took then an active role in supporting of
the planning offices of its inner 23 municipalities, providing:
– the analysis already performed plus GIS software and hardware tools;
– its experts’ technical support for the definition of all the assets covered
by Regional Landscape Plan (PPR).
• In parallel, the Planning Office of the Province of Ogliastra has
supported the same above mentioned single municipalities’
working groups with different moments of training, followed by
a targeted coaching in the ordinary working activities.

Lessons learned and new opportunities
• What finally emerged is the need to have an increased
availability of spatial analysis tools that would allow to solve
common problems, related to the territory planning, design and
control activities: an increasing number of operators asking for
support showed an real interest in GIS technology.
• Simultaneously, the Cartographic Office of the RAS was offering
a further huge amount of data produced under the new
Regional Land Information System (SITR):
– LIDAR datasets with relative orthophotos;
– various types of high-resolution DTM, satellite imagery.

3D Web GIS 3D and SkylineGlobe technology
• After about 10 years, from all this context emerges the need to
have a GIS analysis tool that would give the possibility to exploit
the elevation sources to have a vision of the area in three
dimensions.
• Thus, the adoption of a 3D GIS platform, comprehensive of a
great WebGIS client/server solution, to create a photorealistic
and high-performance navigator, for interactive 3D visualization
and querying of spatial data.
• The choice, after appropriate analysis of competing solutions,
has settled over the SkylineGlobe technology.

• The production of the 3D map used as a basis for the 3D WebGIS
implementation was performed in outsourcing at GeoInfoLab:
this option has allowed to break down dramatically (over than
one thousand percent) the costs related both to Skyline
TerraBuilder’s necessary license and to the experience needed
in order to obtain quickly the best result possible from the
source files available.
• The only file produced in a global MPT v2.0 format, in a Skyline
TerraBuilder v1.7 multiprocessor environment, has reached a
dimension of about 36.2 GB.

main sources:
– 10 meters/pixel elevation source, made available in ESRI GRID format for
all the Province of Ogliastra (about 1,52 GB);
– 1 meter/pixel elevation source, made available only for coastal zones of
the Province of Ogliastra in ASCII format (about 3,93 GB);
– 50 centimetres/pixel image source, made available in 24 bit colour TIFF
format for all the Province of Ogliastra (about 30,9 GB);
– 20 centimetres/pixel image source, made available only for coastal zones
of the Province of Ogliastra in colour ECW format (about 1,18 GB).

elevation sources with different decreasing levels of resolution:
– 20 meters/pixel for elevation source of the whole Sardinia;
– 300 meters/pixel for image source of the whole Italy (Sardinia included);
– 1,22 kilometres/pixel for elevation source of the whole Italy (Sardinia
excluded);

can save the project in the proprietary FLY format.
• This stores all the information (paths and properties) related to
all the resources involved (MPT file, GIS layers and other
sources), and can then be used to create digital media kits or to
publish 3D WebGIS projects on the Internet.

Streaming the 3D terrain
• Given the considerable size of the 3D terrain, the navigation
through the Internet requires an application server able to
deliver this information seamless in streaming: the Skyline
TerraGate streaming server.
• A Skyline TerraGate license supporting up to 25 concurrent
connections let the various TerraExplorer clients (Pro Plus or
Viewer) query simultaneously different portions of the MPT.
• For each streaming session, the TerraGate Manager records:
client IP address, date and start time of the session, its duration
and total volume of data provided.

• A further saving of money comes for the delivery of layers, a
task accomplished by GeoServer, an open-source certified OGC
compliant server solution.
• The vector layers are loaded on the server disk space in the
Shapefile format, and then uploaded and managed by
GeoServer server application, which delivers them on-demand
via WFS protocol. The published FLY project include information
for the directly loading from GeoServer.

GAL Ogliastra. This project involves the same Province of
Ogliastra, as leader, and all its 23 municipalities, in the
development of a provincial network of routes, with particular
emphasis on the enhancement of the local paths’ network.
• The application designed will have to publish and promote in
the 3D WebGIS platform the itineraries and paths, which will
also be available for the download in formats used for GPS
