SDI in Croatia; shifting from NSDI 1.0 to NSDI 2.0Tomislav Ciceli
Croatia has strong legacy in Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) domain. First activities started already at the begging of 21st century with few studies about possibilities for data exchange between different institutions on governmental level. All activities which followed those studies were formalised in Act on State Survey and Real Cadastre in 2007 (Official Gazetteer 13/2007). In period after Law come in force all activities were focused on formal framework of establishment of National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) which resulted with three level hierarchy of NSDI Bodies; Council, Board and Working groups. That period can be treated like phase 1.0 of SDI establishment in Republic of Croatia. From 2013 Croatia become member of European Union and with other obligations we needed to transpose Directive 2007/2/EZ to our legislation which was made in May of 2013 with Act on National Spatial Data Infrastructure (Official Gazetteer 56/2013). With that Act Croatia become legally compatible with EU legislation in domain of SDI and implementation on operational level started. Formal structure was kept, with introducing State Geodetic Administration like National Contact Point for NSDI and INSPIRE. Many new activities come with putting Act on NSDI in force; creating of NSDI Registries, creating of National metadata catalogue and publishing of National geoportal. During 2014 activities on Monitoring of SDI/INSPIRE in Croatia also were accomplished. All those activities were very operational, with focus on real implementation and according to that that phase can be treated like phase 2.0. in SDI development in Republic of Croatia. In scope of this work brief overview of main activities for phase 1.0 and phase 2.0 will be made.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

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!
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Editor's Notes
You all have a copy of the agenda, we’ll finish the overview then go to the data discussion starting with orthos then break, then do roads and parcels, then break and wrap up with CI…
first of all thanks for coming we’ve organized this series of workshops, six of them in all, because we believe that there is a real community of interest around GIS. we’re reaching out to that community including both direct users, and others who may be managers or colleagues or otherwise involved. the time seems right – a new administration, new possibilities, We think its an opportune time to develop a strategic plan, But since we don’t have a big budget, our planning effort has got to be something manageable, and so we’re focusing on something that we believe is really at he center of our shared interest and that is data. Everyone who uses GIS needs a base of data, a database so to speak, a platform to get started with. So the focus of our plan is the shared data needs – how do we make sure that all GIS users get that basic infrastructure to work with. Our plan, to be valid and useful, needs to be informed by all GIS users, from all sectors and levels of government and all parts of the state. So We want to hear from you. In order to really make sure that everyone is represented we’ve organized a steering committee, which is overseeing this effort and I’ll get to the membership of that in a second. Just one more thing to make clear - MassGIS has been doing the logistics and planning for these events, but this is not all about MassGIS, rather its’ about all GIS users and would-be users, your needs and opinions and insights.
I mentioned before the national spatial data infrastructure or NSDI created by executive order of president clinton in 1994. preseident Bush amended it in 2003 to explicitly include outreach to state and local stakeholders it requires federal agencies to provide “Technologies, policies, and people necessary to promote sharing of geospatial data” these are the seven framework data layers identified by the NSDI – you’ll see that our first three data categories are part of this national framework Our discussion of Critical infrastructure is really about making the connection between a whole list of other data sets, hundreds in fact, and the first three spatial categories – I’ll explain more about that later – so you can kind of consider it on the list as well. There are two other federal initiatives that we consider relevant – one is the portal to GIS information provided by the USGS with GOS and the National Map – we are part of both of those, and the other is the HSIP, which is now being redesigned but is basically the whole framework for critical infrastructure layers just like MSDI does for the basic ones.
This slide illustrates the multi-level approach which the federal govt is endorsing with the NSDI. The fifty states initiative, which is what funded our strategic planning effort, is all about data sharing between levels of govt. everybody recognizes that the best data are local and they need to be rolled up to a regional or statewide and then a national level. Certainly part of what’s driving this is the idea that when there’s a big disaster somewhere, the surrounding towns or MEMA or even federal agencies have all got to be reading from the same playbook. but its also about just being efficient – why should the taxpayer who paid for local mapping also pay the state and federal govts to do the same mapping all over again.
Again, this whole process is designed to help us understand how well we are doing – where we are successful, and where we need improvement… we’ll quicly run through these criteria and then wrap up our overview and intro to the project… heres
