3D Televisions: Forecasting their emergenceJeffrey Funk
My Master's students used ideas from my (Jeff Funk) forthcoming book (Technology Change and the Rise of New Industries) to analyze when 3D LCD TVs might emerge. See my other slides for details on concepts, methodology, and other new industries.
Digital watermarking is used for data authentication and copyright protection of digital media files.
Original host files required to recover the watermark operation in non-blind watermark system, which increases
system resources overhead. It also doubles memory capacity and communication band-width. This system uses a
robust video multiple watermarking technique which is based on image interlacing. In this system, a watermark
embedding/extracting is done by using three-level discrete wavelet transform (DWT), Arnold transform is used as
a watermark encryption/ decryption method, and gray image, color image, and video are used as watermarks.
Geometric, noising, format compression, and image processing attacks are used to test this system.
Keywords — Digital watermarking, Image interlacing, Arnold transform, Three level DWT, Authentication,
Security.
Checkpoint/Restore In Userspace, or CRIU, is a software tool for Linux operating system. Using this tool, you can freeze a running application (or part of it) and checkpoint it to a hard drive as a collection of files. You can then use the files to restore and run the application from the point it was frozen at. The distinctive feature of the CRIU project is that it is mainly implemented in user space.
Todos os dias, milhares de organizações enfrentam situações prejudiciais que as podem colocar numa situação de risco, sendo que algumas acabam por não conseguir recuperar e acabam por enfrentar situações de falência técnica e fecho.
Essas situações podem tanto ser um vírus informático, um servidor que avaria acidentalmente, um desastre natural que atinge a sede ou um mero erro humano. A lista de riscos é tão extensa quanto a complexidade da organização. As suas consequências podem ser catastróficas, quer para a organização, quer para a comunidade que dela depende.
Estas situações existem normalmente fora do âmbito de controlo das organizações. Contudo, a grande maioria dos riscos são antecipáveis e as suas consequências e impactos minimizáveis. É dentro deste contexto que surge a Gestão da Continuidade Empresarial. A Gestão da Continuidade Empresarial (ou «Business Continuity Management» em inglês) tem como objectivo apoiar as organizações no incremento da sua capacidade de resistência a situações de risco e minimizar as consequências e os impactos destas.
A definição de Gestão de Continuidade Empresarial elaborada pelo «Business Continuity Institute» é a de um “processo de gestão holístico que identifica potenciais impactos que ameaçem a organização e fornece um contexto para o desenvolvimento e implementação de resistências e uma capacidade eficiente de resposta que salvaguarda os interesses dos principais involvidos, reputação, marca e actividades de valor acrescentado”.
Na prática, o desenvolvimento de estratégias, políticas e uma cultura de Continuidade Empresarial ajudará a organização a perceber melhor quais as suas fraquezas estruturais e a forma como estas podem ser minimizadas com o objectivo de garantir a segurança e protecção da organização, seus colaboradores, clientes e accionistas.
A Gestão da Continuidade Empresarial pode ainda ser vista como elemento agregador de um conjunto de funções relacionadas com a segurança, gestão de risco e gestão operacional da organização, cabendo-lhe as tarefas de coordenação e definição no que respeita à estratégia de continuidade da organização.
O objectivo deste «white paper» é o de apresentar este novo conceito e abrir o debate sobre a temática da Continuidade Empresarial em Portugal, como ferramenta de suporte à eficiência das organizações nacionais.

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.
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!
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).
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.

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.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
