The Covid-19 pandemic saw a rise of teleworking. Many PSAPs went under partial or total “home-office” with the challenge of maintaining a similar quality of service when managing emergency communications remotely. In this presentation, a representative of Israel’s emergency medical services will share his experience of quickly organising remote call-taking in his organisation and how to address all the challenges that were faced such as reliability, privacy and security.

Technology, telehealth, and more appropriately aligned patient navigation can help emergency medical services to be more efficient. Also, how can we get better use of Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs) using new technologies? How can we inform citizens about where to find an AED and how to use it? You will hear from experts on these matters in this session.

LTE Direct is an innovative device-to-device proximal discovery technology that can be efficiently integrated with LTE Advanced services and networks. It is defined as part of the global 3GPP standard, as a feature in Release 12. LTE Direct will make users aware of what’s happening around them at all times, effortlessly and privately, changing how people socialize, get discounts and interact with people and things.

The high-level performance of frontline professionals is crucial but this becomes increasingly difficult during a long-term crisis with no replacements for personnel and no end in sight. It is essential to think and act differently, working strategically and actively with recovery. We will hear how a team turned a Swedish military concept and experiences from working in conflict zones into a civilian toolbox. The practical techniques were applied in Intensive Care Units managing the COVID-19 pandemic.

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.

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

2. There is a PSAP in every region
2
Spain has 19 112 PSAPs because 112 is a regional competence.
3. The mobile network routes the call
The law states that when a citizen dials
112, the call needs to be answered by
the PSAP of the region the citizen is in.

4. Implementation of reverse 112

There is a real need to implement reverse 112 and inform
population when there is a risk their location.

Please leave the area
Using roads 1,5 and 6
Message
5. Benefits for the citizens
5
• Citizens that call 112 from their cell phone can be
located in a precise way.
• The app will automatically starts when the user dials
112
• The app will show the coordinates on the screen, so
even if the app can’t connect to the PSAP, the user
can share position.
• It contains a reverse 112 module the allows the user
to receive alerts from the PSAP.
• Region detection limits of 112 adjacent delivery.
• Available for devices with iOS and Android
6. Benefits for the citizens
6
• Photo location data associated
with the voice call.
• Sending positions every 15 sec.
(For improving accuracy)
• automatic call with better
accuracies of 30 meters or
elapsed 60 sg.
• Call immediately via the button in
case of extreme emergency.
7. Benefits for the citizens
7
• User who downloaded my112
in their phones will have a
closer communication with the
112 services.
• My112 is prepared to receive
alert messages from the 112
services
• Alert messages from the 112
PSAPs will be shown if the user
is in the influenced area.
The aplication will receive all the alerts sent from the 112 PSAP and will
show only the ones that can affect the user.

9. Benefits for the PSAP
9
When the PSAP receives a phone
call from a citizen, they start to
process all the information
provided by the citizen, included
the caller location.
If the phone call is been made by
a phone that includes my112, the
user location accuracy can be
dramatically improved
If the user has my112 installed,
the call taker located in the PSAP
can ask the citizen to send
pictures of the incident so the
emergency services can improve
the response
10. Benefits for the PSAP
10
• In the case that the 112 Service,
needs to send a message the
population about a big emergency,
the call taker only needs to define
the area that is affected by the
threat, define the message that
needs to be sent to the population
and sent it.
• This way, the 112 services can be
sure that only people affected by
this threat will be notified.

16. My112 is pre installed in many new devices
16
•My112 is pre installed in 54 models from many brands
•124 device models are compliant with My112
17. Conclusions
17
•Apps for emergency use are a serious business
•They should be developed under the supervision of a 112
PSAP.
•It’s a good idea to design something that easy to use.
Sometimes they will be needed in critical circumstances.
•To be useful they need to installed by a big number of
people.
•They need to be promoted.
