3) ePublish's web app, Flexpub, makes it easy for publishers to build online libraries, control distribution and sales, and keep a higher percentage of profits.

First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.
In software engineering, the right architecture is essential for robust, scalable platforms. Wix has undergone a pivotal shift from event sourcing to a CRUD-based model for its microservices. This talk will chart the course of this pivotal journey.
Event sourcing, which records state changes as immutable events, provided robust auditing and "time travel" debugging for Wix Stores' microservices. Despite its benefits, the complexity it introduced in state management slowed development. Wix responded by adopting a simpler, unified CRUD model. This talk will explore the challenges of event sourcing and the advantages of Wix's new "CRUD on steroids" approach, which streamlines API integration and domain event management while preserving data integrity and system resilience.
Participants will gain valuable insights into Wix's strategies for ensuring atomicity in database updates and event production, as well as caching, materialization, and performance optimization techniques within a distributed system.
Join us to discover how Wix has mastered the art of balancing simplicity and extensibility, and learn how the re-adoption of the modest CRUD has turbocharged their development velocity, resilience, and scalability in a high-growth environment.
SOCRadar Research Team: Latest Activities of IntelBrokerSOCRadar
The European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (Europol) has suffered an alleged data breach after a notorious threat actor claimed to have exfiltrated data from its systems.

The alleged breach affected Europol agencies CCSE, EC3, Europol Platform for Experts, Law Enforcement Forum, and SIRIUS. Infiltration of these entities can disrupt ongoing investigations and compromise sensitive intelligence shared among international law enforcement agencies.

Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?

WHAT IT IS
ePublish provides revolutionary technology that allows publishers, authors, and other organizations
to easily digitize and distribute their own books direct-to-reader, with the soon-to-come option to
join a new marketplace where control is returned to the content owner.
The ePublish Mission:
To disrupt the existing book sales monopoly by returning power
to the content owner.
3. 3
THE PROBLEM
The business of selling and distributing books is run by a handful of the world’s largest companies,
none of which call books, or even publishing, their primary business. The reason is that publishers are willing to
give away their highest-demographic customer, the book buyer, and for the favor, get clubbed with a massive sales commission.
4. THE SOLUTION
To provide publishers, authors, and any content owner with innovative
technology to build online libraries, to control distribution and sales, and to
keep both a significantly higher percentage of the proceeds and the book-buying customer.

5. 5
THE PRODUCT
Technically speaking, Flexpub is a powerful web app, built
specifically for the management and distribution of complex book content,
but to our growing list of leading publishers and their readers, it's just plain easy.

round of funding. The Company believes that there is a reasonable basis for making the Projections.
The Projections are based on a number of assumptions and estimates that, while presented with numerical specificity and considered reasonable by the Company, are inherently subject to significant business,
economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of the Company. The Projections are also based upon assumptions with respect to future business decisions that are
subject to change. The degree of uncertainty inherent in the Projections increases significantly with each year in the future. Accordingly, the Projections are only an estimate; actual results will vary from the Projections
and these variations may be material. Consequently, the Projections should not be regarded as a representation by the Company, by the Company's advisors or by any other person that the projected results will be
achieved. Prospective investors are cautioned not to place reliance on the Projections.
The Projections are subject to uncertainties and contingencies beyond the Company's control, and no assurances can be given that the strategies implicit in them will be effective in the future or that anticipated benefits
will be realized in the periods for which the Projections have been prepared. The assumptions described herein are those that the Company believes are significant to the Projections. However, not all assumptions
used in the preparation of the Projections have been set forth herein.
