Ericsson Technology Review: Optimizing UICC modules for IoT applicationsEricsson
Commonly referred to as SIM cards, the universal integrated circuit cards (UICCs) used in all cellular devices today are in fact complex and powerful minicomputers capable of much more than most Internet of Things (IoT) applications require. Until a simpler and less costly alternative becomes available, action must be taken to ensure that the relatively high price of UICC modules does not hamper IoT growth.
This Ericsson Technology Review article presents two mid-term approaches. The first is to make use of techniques that reduce the complexity of using UICCs in IoT applications, while the second is to use the UICCs’ excess capacity for additional value generation. Those who wish to exploit the potential of the UICCs to better support IoT applications have the opportunity to use them as cryptographic storage, to run higher-layer protocol stacks and/or as supervisory entities, for example.
Mobile data traffic volumes are expected to increase by a factor of four by 2025, and 45 percent of that traffic will be carried by 5G networks. To deliver on customer expectations in this rapidly changing environment, communication service providers must overcome challenges in three key areas: building sufficient capacity, resolving operational inefficiencies through automation and artificial intelligence, and improving service differentiation. This issue of ETR magazine provides insights about how to tackle all three.

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).

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.

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!

MARKET
OVERVIEW
There will be 810 million Indian smartphone subscriptions by 2021
South Asia is projected to be a bright spot amongst
developing economies, with India being the dominant
economy in the region, as well as the second largest
telecommunications market in the world in terms of
subscriptions.1
The Indian economy is projected to grow by
7.4 percent in 2016.2
Liberal telecom policies, deregulation of
foreign direct investment (FDI) and strong consumer demand
have led to the rapid growth of the telecom sector in India.
There is a clear urban-rural divide in the telecommunications
sector in India. The teledensity in urban areas is three times
higher than in rural areas, as of the end of 2015, and the
divide is even higher for internet users. Internet subscription
has huge growth potential in both rural and urban areas
in India, with total subscription at just 25 percent of
the population.3
Mobile broadband is set to dramatically increase, with
smartphone subscriptions and total mobile traffic expected
to increase four-fold and fifteen-fold respectively from 2015
to 2021 – reaching 810 million smartphone subscriptions
and mobile traffic of 4.5 ExaBytes (EB) per month. India
saw the highest net mobile subscription addition of
21 million in Q1 2016.
In India, 16 percent of the population had a smartphone at the
end of 2015, compared to 44 percent globally. The number of
smartphone owners in India will further increase to 58 percent
by the end of 2021, while at the same point in time it is
foreseen that 81 percent will have a smartphone globally.
The growing smartphone penetration in India is expected
to fuel the growth of mobile broadband in the country.

Shift in mobile technology
GSM still dominates the Indian market. In 2015, over
80 percent of mobile subscriptions in India were GSM
subscriptions. This is projected to grow until 2016 and
decline thereafter due to operator initiatives to migrate
2G subscribers to 3G, decreasing handset prices and
bundling of data with devices.
WCDMA/HSPA and LTE networks are expected to gain
momentum, and the subscriptions will together account for
65 percent of Indian subscriptions by 2021. At this point in
time, CDMA-only technology is expected to be phased out.
Smartphone owners in India will increase
to almost 60 percent by 2021 and fuel
the growth of mobile broadband usage

Data gaining prominence over voice for smartphone users in India
Calls and text messages are the top two activities of
smartphone users. In India, web browsing, emailing and
social networking are the top three internet activities on
smartphones, which is aligned to the global trend. Around
15 percent of smartphone users in India make online video
calls daily, and this is similar to the global average.4
Indian smartphone users rate data as more important
than voice, indicating the strong uptake of data services
in the country. Data speed is considered to be the most
important factor in determining both network performance
and smartphone users’ satisfaction with their operator.
However, smartphone users in India are more satisfied
with voice quality than data services. Mobile phone
users in India give more importance to voice quality
than data services, indicating that it is the smartphone
users who drive the need for better data services.
Globally, smartphone users show a higher tendency
to pay a premium for better data services, as opposed
to improving voice quality. In India, young smartphone
users aged 15–24 years old drive this need for better
data speed and data coverage, and have a higher
inclination to pay a premium for the same.

Network
Performance
User experience and network performance at different locations
In India, network performance increases consumer
loyalty, and this drives consumers towards choosing a
particular mobile operator. Though customer support
and marketing communication are also attributes
valued by consumers in their operators, network
performance ensures long-term consumer loyalty.8
Mobile broadband users access services from different
locations and their satisfaction levels vary from place to
place, depending on the network performance. The overall
satisfaction levels of smartphone users while performing
internet activities is higher at home, followed by at work and
while commuting. Over 70 percent of smartphone users
are satisfied with the network performance at home while
doing instant messaging, web browsing or social networking
using mobile internet. Over 60 percent of smartphone
users are satisfied with the network performance at home
while streaming videos using mobile internet. However,
only 50 percent are satisfied with network performance
for streaming videos on a smartphone while commuting.
User experience is expected to improve across all locations,
with growing WCDMA/HSPA population coverage and LTE
services being rolled out in India. WCDMA/HSPA technology
covered over 55 percent of the Indian population at the
end of 2015 and is projected to increase to 90 percent
by the end of 2021. The population coverage of LTE
networks in India is expected to reach 45 percent by the
end of 2021, from around 15 percent at the end of 2015.
