This state of the art report describes the techniques of shape analysis, and of metadata search that have been already implemented in cultural heritage or we think are useful for the GRAVITATE project. These fields are relatively disjoint, and the research and development challenge of GRAVITATE is precisely to merge them. After the review of the current literature on these fields, we end the report with common remarks on possible or plausible crossconnections that suggest themselves. These considerations will be refined for the Roadmap for Research deliverable.

GRAVITATE:Geometric and Semantic Matching for Cultural Heritage ArtefactsGravitate Project
The GRAVITATE project is developing techniques that bring together geometric and semantic data analysis to provide a new and more effective method of re-associating, reassembling or reunifying cultural objects that have been broken or dispersed overtime. The project is driven by the needs of archaeological institutes, and the techniques are exemplified by their application to a collection of several hundred 3D-scanned fragments of large-scale terracotta statues from Salamis, Cyprus. The integration of geometrical feature extraction and matching with semantic annotation and matching into a single decision support platform will lead to more accurate reconstructions of artefacts and greater insights into history. In this paper we describe the project and its objectives, then we describe the progress made to date towards achieving those objectives: describing the datasets, requirements and analysing the state of the art. We follow this with an overview of the architecture of the integrated decision support platform and the first realisation of the user dashboard. The paper concludes with a description of the continuing work being undertaken to deliver a workable system to cultural heritage curators and researchers.

Color Restoration of Scanned Archaeological Artifacts with Repetitive PatternsGravitate Project
Our work addresses the problem of virtually restoring archaeological artifacts. Virtual restoration is the process of creating a noise-free model of a degraded object, to visualize its original appearance. Our work focuses on restoring the coloring of the object. We considered both 2D and 3D objects, including scans of ancient texts and 3D models of decorated pottery. Our denoising method exploits typical characteristics of archaeological artifacts, such as repetitive decoration motifs and a limited palette of colors. Our classification method is based on minimization of an energy function, which includes a correspondence term, to encourage consistent labeling of similar regions. The energy function is minimized using the Graph-Cuts algorithm.

This thesis explores the development and implementation of flexible physical layer protocols on a software defined radio platform. Several protocols are mapped to the heterogeneous Intel T2200 platform containing an ARM processor, CEVA DSP and accelerators. Mapping key blocks like IFFT/FFT and decoding to the faster DSP results in significant execution time savings. Over-the-air testing is performed to validate communication between two T2200 boards for some protocols. The work aims to develop a flexible radio system that can support different protocols defined in software rather than using pre-existing hardware radios.
This document describes Version 1 of the Content and Concept Filter developed for the LinkedTV project. It presents the LinkedTV User Model Ontology and how it is used to create user models with weights assigned to concepts. The user model is then used by the LinkedTV Semantic Filtering Tool to filter and recommend videos and concepts based on their semantic similarity to what the user is interested in. The filtering tool uses several algorithms like precise matching, relatedTo-based filtering, WordNet-based filtering and pattern-based filtering. It also incorporates semantic reasoning using an ontology reasoner to further improve recommendations. The document includes examples of how different user profiles would experience customized content filtering and recommendations.

Trilinos progress, challenges and future plansM Reza Rahmati
Trilinos is a collection of packages that provide numerical algorithms and capabilities. Each package is developed independently but is designed to work with other packages. Over time, as packages mature they gain various levels of interoperability through configuration options and abstract interfaces which allows them to be used by other packages and applications without dependencies. This asynchronous development model allows packages to evolve at different rates while maintaining a coherent overall framework.

The algorithm can handle puzzles of unknown size and orientation, as well as puzzles where the pieces are mixed together from multiple puzzles, some with missing pieces. It works in three steps: 1) calculating piece compatibility, 2) selecting the best starting piece, and 3) greedily assembling the puzzle. Evaluation shows the approach outperforms state-of-the-art methods in accuracy and speed, such as reconstructing puzzles with 14.5% or 9.6% missing pieces and solving five mixed puzzles with some missing pieces in 30 seconds.
The document discusses using 3D and semantic data to discover relationships between artefacts. It describes artefacts as puzzle pieces that are missing, worn, and scattered across different museums. The presentation explores how 3D modeling, semantic descriptions of materials and styles, and natural language processing can be used to reunify fragmented artefacts, both digitally and through 3D printing. This involves combining geometric data from scans with semantic data from catalog descriptions to identify similar objects and learn more about their relationships.

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).
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.

Freshworks Rethinks NoSQL for Rapid Scaling & Cost-EfficiencyScyllaDB
Freshworks creates AI-boosted business software that helps employees work more efficiently and effectively. Managing data across multiple RDBMS and NoSQL databases was already a challenge at their current scale. To prepare for 10X growth, they knew it was time to rethink their database strategy. Learn how they architected a solution that would simplify scaling while keeping costs under control.
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?

[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024Vadym Kazulkin
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.

Gravitate Deliverable 3.1: Report on Shape Analysis and Matching and on Semantic Matching
1. This state of the art report describes the techniques of shape analysis, and of metadata search
that have been already implemented in cultural heritage or we think are useful for the
GRAVITATE project. These fields are relatively disjoint, and the research and development
challenge of GRAVITATE is precisely to merge them. After the review of the current literature
on these fields, we end the report with common remarks on possible or plausible cross-
connections that suggest themselves. These considerations will be refined for the Roadmap for
Research deliverable.
