The Global Positioning System (GPS), originally Navstar GPS, is a satellite-based radionavigation system owned by the United States government and operated by the United States Space Force.
It is one of the global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) that provides geolocation and time information to a GPS receiver anywhere on or near the Earth where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites.
Obstacles such as mountains and buildings block the relatively weak GPS signals.

Space research : space research projects under the 7th framework programme for research (5th call)
Civilisations have always wondered what is beyond the sky. But it is only recently that the limitless possibilities provided by space science and technology came into stronger spotlight and started to be used to the full. The EU has been playing a significant role in this process, in particular through the FP7 space research programme. The 5th FP7 space call brochure – through presentation of 50 projects divided into four categories (Copernicus applications and data; space technologies; space science and data exploitation; cross-cutting issues) – aims at giving a comprehensive overview of Europe's endeavours to fully, yet sustainably, use space for purposes ranging from excellent reception of TV signal to helping victims of earthquakes and other natural disasters

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.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).

Global Positioning System (GPS)
1. Technology Strategy and OrganisationGroup Presentation Global Positioning System (GPS) 11th March 2011 R. Craig, S. G****, R. V****, C. A****, S. D****
2. Outline Background Chronological GPS Evolution Technology S Curve Multiple S Curves Product Process Cycle Dominant Design Model Diffusion Curve
3. Background The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based Global navigation satellite system that provides location and time information. The project was started in 1973 to overcome the limitations of previous navigation systems. GPS was created by the US department of defence and was originally run with 24 satellites. It became fully operational in 1994 at the cost of twelve billion US taxpayer dollars. Freely accessible by anyone with a GPS receiver. Navigation by radio as an aid has been practiced in Germany since 1907 (Telefunken) First used as radio directional finder (RDF) between radio towers.
4. GPS Timeline In 1972, the US Air Force developmental flight tests of two prototype GPS receivers In 1978 the first experimental Block-I GPS satellite was launched. In 1983, civilian airliner strayed into restricted Soviet airspace due to navigational errors and shot , GPS made available for civilian use.February 14, 1989, the first modern Block-II satellite was launched. December 1993 the GPS achieved initial operational capability[51] January 17, 1994 a complete constellation of 24 satellites was in orbit. Full Operational Capability was declared by NAVSTAR in April 1995. In 1996, US declaring GPS to be a dual-use system (national asset). In 1998, two new civilian signals for enhanced user accuracy and reliability, particularly with respect to aviation safety. On May 2, 2000 "Selective Availability" was discontinued In 2004, US and European Community establishing cooperation related to Garmin GPS and Europe's planned Galileo system. November 2004, successful tests of Assisted-GPS for mobile phones.In 2005, the first modernized GPS satellite was launched and began transmitting a second civilian signal for enhanced user performance.
5. Technology S Curve GPS ‘System’ Product Performance Estimated position of GPS system Time or Engineering Effort
6. GPS Application S Curve GPS Dependent Use – Children, pets, objects Product Performance Personal Use – Outdoors - phone Civil Applications - Land, sea, air BIG BROTHER Military Applications Time or Engineering Effort
8. Multiple S Curves for Accuracy Reliability Cost S Curves could also be applied to other factors such as size, battery life, ease of use etc.............
9. Product-Process Cycle Difficult to apply with our vision of the GPS system with product process cycle. A better application is with GPS mobile phones. Each product would have its own product process cycle. Product Estimated position of GPS system Process Fluid Transition Specific Mature
13. Implications of this analysis for technology strategy for these organisations and potential entrants. Works well for a physical product evolution, but has difficulty contextually complex systems. System was too big to handle within the set time scale, the team boundaries were too big to manage. Boundaries would need to be rationalized (reduced, simplified). Market evolution not product specific More questions than answers, systems understanding expanded. In application of the dominant design model highlighted how complex the system is
14. Conclusions (Models)Presentation Critique for ease of use and their utility for decision making in technology strategy S-Curve Helps to indicate when to invest in new tech/products Dominant Systems Model Models too basic for multi dimensional technology convergence Diffusion Model Promotes understanding of current technology trajectory Product-Process Cycle Product specific, different applications Abstract level, N-dimensions
15. Conclusions (Reflections) Presentation Critique for ease of use and their utility for decision making in technology strategy Models used for indication only (creates discussion) All models are wrong but some are useful Enables visibility of technological paradigms Epistemological evolution Not a panacea Group had no tacit knowledge for successful application
