Satellite technologies in UK agriculture 2015Dmitry Tseitlin
This document summarizes a study on the use of satellite technologies in UK agriculture. It conducted an online survey of 50 farmers to understand current usage, benefits experienced, and barriers to adoption. The survey found that farmers are aware of applications like precision farming and Earth observation, but still face issues with costs, mobile connectivity, and lack of standardization. Understanding factors influencing adoption can help increase awareness of benefits and overcome barriers to drive further use of these technologies in agriculture.
Radio spectrum is a scarce resource that is increasingly in demand to support wireless services like mobile phones and GPS. Spectrum pricing by regulators is a tool to help ensure efficient use of spectrum such that mobile operators maximize benefits for society. An effective spectrum pricing approach considers both upfront access fees and annual usage fees, sets modest reserve prices below expected market value, prioritizes allocation, helps operators manage risk, and takes a long-term perspective focusing on stimulating competition and investment over short-term revenue goals.
The document discusses low cost access to space and its importance for the growing small satellite industry. Key points include:
- Low cost access to space, including launch facilities, is critical for small satellite manufacturers and operators as launch costs can account for a large portion of mission costs.
- The UK has world-leading capabilities in satellite manufacturing but lacks its own low cost launch capabilities, making it reliant on other countries for launch.
- Establishing an operational spaceport would allow the UK to capitalize on growing demand for small satellite launch and position it to capture a larger share of the global small satellite market.

The Mobile Internet: Meeting Demand and Growing ProfitablyBytemobile
The document discusses how mobile data traffic has grown exponentially since 1998 and will continue to do so in the future. While network investments like LTE and offloading to WiFi can help increase capacity and reduce costs, traffic is expected to grow far more quickly than technology can address. Network optimization can immediately increase effective capacity by 30-40% without requiring customer upgrades. Policy enforcement then allows operators to introduce differentiated services to monetize demand. Taking a strategic approach using all these solutions together—optimization, policy enforcement, LTE, offloading—operators can both meet growing demand and remain profitable in the mobile internet era.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

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.
