OpenStreetMap and CycleStreets: collaborative map-making and cartography in t...CycleStreets
Abstract: The arrival of web-based mapping from Google and others has revolutionised, in the space of only five years, the way many people interact with maps and map data. And the success of projects such as Wikipedia highlight how collation of small amounts of information from large numbers of people - an approach called 'crowdsourcing' - can challenge traditional models of data collection and ownership. Bringing these concepts together is OpenStreetMap, a collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world. Well-established enterprises such as the Ordnance Survey are coming under increased pressure from this new model, and large companies such as MapQuest and Microsoft are starting to use and invest in it. Martin Lucas-Smith, Webmaster in the Department, and one of two main developers of the leading UK-wide cycle journey planner website, CycleStreets, will discuss OpenStreetMap, its use within a wide range of systems (from cartography, routing, and even its central role helping deal with the Haiti disaster) and discuss the challenges it poses to traditional forms of cartography and data collection.
2015 FOSS4G Track: FOSS4G Adoption in Local Government – Opportunities and Ch...GIS in the Rockies
Across the globe Free and Open Source for Geospatial applications have gained increasing popularity among public and private sectors. In America, the adoption of FOSS4G has not been as prevalent as in Europe, Asia and South America. Proprietary GIS vendors have served our markets well but there may be new opportunities available to those that might consider integrating FOSS4G into their geospatial portfolios. This presentation will review the opportunities and impediments to FOSS4G adoption in local government and give the attendees options for further investigation. No prior knowledge of GIS or FOSS4G is required, only an open mind and a sense of adventure.
My first presentation at WhereCamp EU, relating to the work we're doing with Ubisense myWorld. In the title G=Google and the question has two meanings ... if you're a traditional GIS user, should you be using Google Maps or something similar (answer=yes), and given that, should you be using Google specifically (answer is it depends ... we no longer use Google App Engine, we do use Google Maps but have been testing OpenLayers for offline applications).

Edge optimized architecture for fabric defect detection in real-timeShuquan Huang
In textile industry, fabric defect relies on human inspection traditionally, which is inaccurate, inconsistent, inefficient and expensive. There were automatic systems developed on the defect detection by identifying the faults in fabric surface using the image and video processing techniques. However, the existing solution has insufficiencies in defect data sharing, backhaul interconnect, maintenance and etc. By evolving to an edge-optimized architecture, we can help textile industry improve fabric quality, reduce operation cost and increase production efficiency. In this session, I’ll share:
What’s edge computing and why it’s important to intelligence manufacturing
What’s the characteristics, strengths and weaknesses of traditional fabric defect detection method
Why textile industry can benefit from edge computing infrastructure
How to design and implement an edge-enabled application for fabric defect detection in real-time
Insights, synergy and future research directions

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.
In his public lecture, Christian Timmerer provides insights into the fascinating history of video streaming, starting from its humble beginnings before YouTube to the groundbreaking technologies that now dominate platforms like Netflix and ORF ON.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
