The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to connecting physical devices to the internet and to each other. IoT has its roots in concepts from the 1990s like ubiquitous computing and digital augmentation of objects. While early implementations focused on identification of objects via RFID tags, IoT is now at a tipping point with billions of heterogeneous devices expected to connect. This will enable sensing and actions in new ways. However, IoT also raises societal, technical, and scientific challenges around issues like privacy, security, standardization, and environmental impact that require further research.

Li-Fi is a visible light communication technology that uses LED light bulbs to transmit data by varying the intensity of light too quickly for the human eye to detect. It works by using visible light spectrum instead of radio waves for wireless transmission, which offers greater security and bandwidth than traditional Wi-Fi. Li-Fi could transform LED bulbs into high-speed wireless internet hotspots all over the home and office.
The town of Lomma Kommun in Sweden needed to upgrade its unreliable and unsecure network to better support growing demand for public services. It implemented a new Cisco Wi-Fi network with 360 access points and Cisco ISE for secure authentication across all buildings including 30 schools and care centers. This allows staff and students to access resources anywhere on campus, saves staff time by not needing to log in and out, and provides free guest Wi-Fi for tourists. The new secure network solution has halved IT costs and freed staff to develop new services for citizens.

Vaidyanathan Krishnamoorthy, Edge Inference Solutions Architect at Intel, presents the “Federated Edge Computing System Architectures” tutorial at the September 2020 Embedded Vision Summit.
With ever-increasing amounts of video and other sensor data, and growing requirements for privacy and low latency, inferencing at the edge is increasingly attractive. But there are many ways to allocate and coordinate computing resources for edge inferencing. For example, to achieve scale and fault tolerance, design principles from cloud computing can be applied to create compute clusters at the edge that are managed by the cloud, an approach called “federated computing.”
In this talk, Krishnamoorthy explores a range of edge computing system architectures, with a focus on federated computing. He illustrates how these system architectures utilize Intel CPUs and accelerators to address real-world use cases in retail and industrial applications.
Edge Computing often misquoted, misrepresented, and misunderstood. In this presentation, I tried to demystify what the Edge Computing is and what role the edge computing plays in the Connected World.
Women in Technology Leadership Technology News Indian-origin Programmer Vignesh Sundaresan and Anand Venkateswaran who is based in Singapore, both buyers of a digital artwork stored in a JPEG file sold for $69.3 million (around ?504 crore), said they had humble upbringings.
Venkateswaran revealed that Sundaresan couldn't afford a laptop when he was learning to code. Sundaresan would walk around with a flash drive and borrow his friends' laptop, Venkateswaran said, by describing his purchase as a shot fired for racial equality. He further said, in a blog post that he had purchased the most expensive digital artwork ever sold to “show Indians and people of color that they too could be patrons” of the arts. Around 22 million viewers tuned in to Christies.com on March 11 for the final moments of a bidding process that saw Sundaresan - under the pseudonym Metakovan - win the rights to digital artist Beeple’s “Everydays: The First 5000 Days”. Bidding for the virtual collage of 5,000 images -- the first purely digital NFT-based artwork ever sold by a major auction house had started at $100 before the price skyrocketed.

Industrial automation industry exploring and
implementing IoT
By Bill Lydon
T
he idea of the Internet of Things (IoT)
has been creating a great deal of ex-
citement in the computing and com-
munications industry for some time.
Currently, the industrial automation
industry is starting to explore and
implement IoT concepts and technology. Other
terms related to these concepts are machine to
machine (M2M), Internet of Everything, Inter-
net of Things, and IP (Internet protocol) to the
Edge. Kevin Ashton, a British technology pio-
neer, is generally attributed with inventing the
term “the Internet of Things” in 1999; although
the concept has been discussed in literature
since at least 1991 (www.en.wikipedia.org/
wiki/Kevin_Ashton). Commercially, in 2008
IBM launched its Smart Planet initiative. The
same year, the nonproft IP for Smart Objects
(IPSO) Alliance was started with more than 50
members from technology, communications,
and energy companies to promote the IP for
“smart object” communications.
The IoT vision is of a massively instrumented
world of intelligent sensors (analog and digi-
tal) and actuators (analog and digital) com-
municating using IP to improve performance
and effciency. Internet protocol is the primary

Research Highlight: Independent Validation of Cisco Service Provider Virtuali...Cisco Service Provider
Service providers want to know how they can build and run programmable, intelligent, responsive, efficient, flexible, and highly secure yet open networks with a high degree of automation. They want to be able to configure and activate new services quickly, utilize emerging cloud capabilities, and meet customer needs. Nimble, smart innovators in the global communications and networking industry are working on the answers and coming up with solutions every day. But providers need to know if these next-generation technologies can already meet their requirements today
University of the Highlands and Islands extents ubiquitous Wi-Fi services acr...Juniper Networks UKI
The University of the Highlands and Islands is unusual in that it covers an
extended geographic region (about half of Scotland, or a sixth of the land
area of the UK). It has almost 100 campus locations supporting about 7,500
Higher Education students and 25,000 Further Education students, and is
based across a wide range and variety of sites, from large campuses supporting
thousands of students, down to single room locations in remote rural areas and
on remote islands.
These broad-ranging geographic variations leave the university with
some unique IT challenges. Available bandwidth can vary hugely between
locations—some close to fiber-optic infrastructure and others in remote
corners of the region where even broadband speeds are low. Resiliency of
those communication links can be another challenge, as diverse routes can
be impractical, and sub-sea cables or radio links are more exposed than
land-based communication systems. Not least, the university must provide a
consistent service across all of its locations, whether they support a handful of
students or thousands.
Operating costs decrease and agility increases, allowing you to react quickly to new market opportunities.

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMsSease
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.
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.
[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.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
"Frontline Battles with DDoS: Best practices and Lessons Learned", Igor IvaniukFwdays
At this talk we will discuss DDoS protection tools and best practices, discuss network architectures and what AWS has to offer. Also, we will look into one of the largest DDoS attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure that happened in February 2022. We'll see, what techniques helped to keep the web resources available for Ukrainians and how AWS improved DDoS protection for all customers based on Ukraine experience
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?

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).
