How NFC Improves the Event Attendee ExperienceNFC Forum
The global pandemic kept theaters, stadiums, and arenas largely empty for months. Attempts to host safer, socially distanced events (when not totally banned) met with mixed success. The availability of vaccines will allow for life to slowly return to normal. But even after the vaccine, attendees likely have developed an enduring and increased sensitivity to safety and hygiene. Illustrated by real-life examples, this session will illustrate how NFC and its touchless operation can offer value for the event business – now more than ever.

Intelligent Transportation Trends chpt.9 - Prospective and ImplicationsNovavia Solutions
The term Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) was coined over two decades ago to designate applications of information and communication technologies to the operational management of transportation networks. The main promise of ITS has been very consistent over that period: network capacity can be freed up by optimizing traffic controls and empowering users with accurate travel information.
It can be debated how much faith practitioners and policy makers have placed in technology by investing their resources, as well as the extent to which Intelligent Transportation Systems have delivered on their promise. However, there is no question that steady and sometimes spectacular advances in computing technologies and usage trickle down to transportation applications in important ways. As a result, new products and services emerge continuously. They include systems that address the direct needs of networks managers, as well as others that are developed in tangential markets (e.g. automotive) or even through non-market mechanisms (e.g. many mobile web applications).
This talk presentation reviews major trends in information and communication technologies and demonstrate how each of them is driving innovative transportation services. We attempt to envision how those trends might develop in the future, so that we can finally examine some of their implications for travel demand and network management. There lie both challenges and opportunities for transportation engineers and planners, but either way, profound changes appear inevitable.

Connected Lives: Where Smart Vehicles Meet the Intelligent RoadCognizant
The digital highway promises to enable an ever-expanding ecosystem encompassing intelligent transportation systems, smart cities and logistics systems, optimizing productivity and performance for businesses and individuals.
FDOT Transportation Symposium presentation for connected and autonomous technology in highway work zones. Presented by Acey Roberts and Glenn Havinoviski, Wantman Group 1/19/21
Modern transportation is rapidly evolving as smart technologies are
incorporated. This improvement enhances efficiency and security and provides a more sustainable and straightforward experience.
The use of traffic lights to control traffic flow at intersections is a long-standing means to promote traffic safety and efficiency. While traffic lights and intersection-based signs are the predominant means of controlling traffic flow, other systems of intersection-based traffic management have been the subject of some experimentation. US20140278029 illustrates the self-organizing smart traffic control system. The self-organizing smart traffic control system exploits vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication. V2V and V2I communication enables development of the dynamic traffic control plan (DTCP) by the central city traffic planner that can resolve the travel-priority conflict in the potential-conflict zone and optimize the traffic flow.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

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.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Business Scenario
With increasing vehicular traffic, our client was
faced with challenges in implementing a
sustainable smart transportation solution. While
coordinating and working closely with the
government bodies and private transport operators,
the client’s primary goal was to improve the traffic
flow in the counties and reducing environmental
impact of traffic. Being a pioneer in the customer
service, they required a solution where they could
integrate real time analysis, awareness and
forecasts for traffic operations, informed personal
travel information and transit fleet operation
information from varied transportation systems.
Client also required integration with the
environmental sensors to track the carbon emission
by the traffic. While catering to these solutions, they
also raised a requirement of including the
passengers in the loop and create a mobile
application which could provide them with critical
information, helping them to plan their journey.
The client saw an opportunity here and asked
Cygnet to research, analyze and develop a solution
that could provide end-to-end transport information
to its commuters. With Cygnet, sharing a successful
professional relationship with the client for around
7 years and knowing Cygnet’s expertise across
various fronts like handling cross-functional teams,
providing agile methodology the client zeroed-in on
us as their technology service provider.
During the initial stage, Cygnet’s team made sense of the existing operations
and analyzed the workflows to gain better insights. After exhaustive research,
Cygnet’s team mapped the pattern using analytics. Thus, the team came up
with a comprehensive business solution suiting the client’s requirements.
