What is an RPA CoE? Session 1 – CoE VisionDianaGray10
In the first session, we will review the organization's vision and how this has an impact on the COE Structure.
Topics covered:
• The role of a steering committee
• How do the organization’s priorities determine CoE Structure?
Speaker:
Chris Bolin, Senior Intelligent Automation Architect Anika Systems
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).

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
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.

9. Cash Flow Hedging 101:
Why does Google need cash flow hedging?
• Over 50% of Google’s revenues are billed in currencies other
than the U.S. dollar; however, we ultimately measure and
report our financial results in U.S. dollars.
• As a result, we are subject to the impact of foreign exchange
fluctuations on our revenue, earnings, and cash flow.
o If the USD strengthens, our revenues invoiced in other
currencies become less when translated to USD, and vice
versa.
• In order to manage this risk, we have implemented a program
to hedge against downside risk to our revenues and earnings
g g g
reported in USD.
10. Cash Flow Hedging 101:
How does Google hedge?
• We have a rolling program of foreign exchange options to
hedge forecasted revenues over the next 18 months.
• We hedge revenue, but the amount of options we purchase is
computed based on our economic exposure to a currency
(revenue less expenses)
• In Q3 2008, we hedged revenues denominated in Euro, CAD,
and GBP.
o Note, however, that our GBP hedges were rolled out late
in the quarter - so there was no benefit realized to
revenues.
11. Cash Flow Hedging 101:
SFAS 133 – How does the accounting work?
• SFAS 133 is the standard we use to account for our cash flow hedging program.
o Prior to maturity, an option’s unrealized gain or “intrinsic value” – the difference
between the strike price of the option and the spot rate of the underlying
currency – is recorded as Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) on our balance
sheet on a tax effected basis.
o At maturity, any unrealized gain is initially recorded to OCI and subsequently
recognized as revenue – on a gross basis or before the tax effect - when the
corresponding revenue (hedged item) is recognized.
o During Q3, the amount reclassified to revenue from OCI was $34M.
o The unrealized gain in OCI does not necessarily reflect the eventual benefit to
revenue; the ultimate benefit will depend on exchange rates at the maturity of
the option contracts. The benefit to revenue will be recognized when the
corresponding revenue (hedged item) is recognized within the next 18 months.
12. Cash Flow Hedging 101:
SFAS 133 – How does the accounting work?
• Because we do not purchase in-the-money options (options with
“intrinsic value”) the cost will always equal their “time value ”
intrinsic value ), time value.
• The cost or “time value” of the option is amortized over its term on a
mark to market
mark-to-market basis (not on a straight-lined basis) to Interest
straight lined
Income and Other, net.
• As a result, the amount of amortization expense we recognize in any
p g y
particular quarter is impacted by how much the option moves into or
out of the money, as well as the underlying currency’s volatility.
• The more an option moves into or out of the money, generally the
f
lower its “time value,” and the greater the amount of amortization
expense we will recognize. This could result in a front end loading of
expense.
