The document summarizes lessons learned from international partnerships between agencies like NASA and ESA. It discusses that successful partnerships require:
1) Early and clear definition of project baselines and interfaces to avoid surprises
2) Regular communication and recognition of differences in processes between agencies
3) Involving various capacities beyond just project management like external relations and legal
International cooperation for projects like the International Space Station require managing political changes that can impact programs and diplomatic skills to manage relationships between equal partners. Flexibility and understanding are essential for international exploration partnerships.

Creating a Thriving Workplace: A conversation about the successes and challen...CICoEPilot
The CI CoE Pilot and CI4Resilience project is are hosting a one-day workshop on June 29 for NSF Major Facilities (MFs), on creating a thriving workplace. At the 2019 NSF Workshop on Connecting Large Facilities and Cyberinfrastructure, participants working in MFs described needs and challenges with building and developing staff that we had not heard discussed by those working in more mainstream academic research institutions. To explore this further, the Pilot conducted a series of interviews with managers at MFs to learn more about their experiences with hiring, retention, training and mentoring, work culture, rewards and recognition, and loss of personnel. From these interviews we learned more about how MFs grow and develop their staff, what aspects of their staffing situations appear to be unique to working in an MF, and what aspects tend to resemble more typical academic research institutions. To continue to fulfill our mission of supporting and fostering the work of MFs, we are hosting this workshop to provide a forum for discussion and idea-sharing around professional development issues specific to MFs.

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.
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.
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.

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).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

5. History of NASA-ESA/ Europe space cooperation
• March 1959: US offer to European scientists to fly experiments on
US satellites
• 1960ies: Close relations between NASA and ESRO
• 1969: NASA offers Europe to participate in post-Apollo activities
(Shuttle, Space Station) -> resulting in Spacelab (Shuttle
cooperation did not materialise)
• 1983: First ESA astronaut on Space Shuttle (STS-9 Spacelab)
• 1984: President Reagan’s invitation to participate in Space Station
Programme
• 1990ies: Cooperative science missions (SOHO, Ulysses, Hubble)
5
6. Current NASA-ESA space cooperation
• International Space Station
• Space exploration (human, robotic)
• Space Science (Cassini/Huygens, Hubble,
JWST,…)
• Earth Science (joint search for new cooperation
opportunities)
• Space Transportation (recent MoU)
• Space Situational Awareness (exchange of info)
6
7. P eculiarities of NASA-ESA space cooperation
• NASA is ESA’s most significant cooperation partner (in
terms of history and volume of cooperation).
• ESA/European space engineering and management
culture is based on NASA model.
• In many cases, there is long continuity of personal
contacts between ESA and NASA programme and project
managers.
• ESA is much smaller than NASA. Therefore, (a) NASA
mostly in leadership role, (b) the prominent mode of
cooperation so far: contributions to each others
missions; new trend: more integrated cooperation.
7
8. I ngredients of a successful cooperation –
from a project m anager’s view (1/ 2)
• “Collaboration in a project should be like a marriage, not
like a business contract” – in terms of demands on trust,
transparency and credibility – “surprises” to be avoided.
• Nevertheless, early, clear and detailed formulation and
documentation of the project baseline (programmatic,
technical and management) and establishment of
mechanism to control that baseline.
• Early and clear definition of inter-Agency interfaces
(minimize the number and complexity of interfaces!)
• Regular and frequent communication.
8
9. I ngredients of a successful cooperation –
from a project m anager’s view (2/ 2)
• Recognition/Acceptance of differences in the processes
of ESA and NASA – do not invent specific processes just
for the specific project (however PM see need for
“common processes and standards”).
• Joint teams are important, but should not result in
blurring of the responsibilities of each partner.
• International cooperation requires the involvement of
various capacities on both sides in addition to project
management (e.g. external relations, legal service).
Good communication and careful distribution of roles are
important.
9
10. Conclusions
• There is a strong cooperation heritage and fundament –
often manifested in trustful and long-lasting personal
relationships between project managers on both sides.
• Programmatic decisions can sometimes complicate or
disrupt matters.
• The future may show
– more integrated cooperative programmes/projects (not just a
“contribution-mode” of cooperation).
– More partners in a project (intern., commercial, academia)
This may pose new challenges for project managers.
• Our PM cultures are similar. This should help overcoming
those challenges.

We will not be able to identify every contingency in advance so
structure for cooperation must allow for flexibility.
High-level political leadership may be necessary to garner
international support/participation e.g. the ISS & GEO examples.
Recognize the many similarities in partners plans/aspirations for
exploration.
Exploration beyond Earth orbit is an intrinsically global enterprise.
International partnerships provide tangible benefits
e.g. broadening public & political support, sharing cost & risk,
enrich scientific & technical content, sustainability.

Conclusions
• Agreements should be mutually beneficial and binding
• Expect to share the risks as well as the benefits
• Expect to compromise
• Appreciate differing cultures, methods, national prerogatives
• Cooperation most often on a no-exchange of funds basis
• Barters work
• Partners responsibilities are “deliverables” not financial

52. International Cooperation with USA
• International cooperation between the United States and
Japan started in 1969, when "The Japan-U.S. Joint
Communiqué" on cooperation in space development was
signed.
• Since then, JAXA has been participating in international
projects, many of which are led by NASA. This includes
the International Space Station as well as Earth Science,
and Space Science missions.
4
53. Current Cooperative Projects with NASA
1. ISS Cooperation
• Japanese Experiment Module “KIBO” and HTV/H2-B
• ISS Development, Operation and Utilization
2. Space Exploration Cooperation (exploring future opportunities)
• International Space Exploration Coordination Group (ISECG)
3. Earth Science Cooperation

Cooperation Levels:
– Level 0: Information & Data Exchange (Earth & Space Science)
– Level 1: Payload Provision (Earth & Space Science)
– Level 2: Joint HW Development (TRMM,GPM, etc.)
– Level 3: Joint Program (ISS)
5
54. Maintaining a close partnership with NASA
has become indispensable for JAXA
• Almost all JAXA programs and projects involve some
level of cooperation with NASA.
• JAXA uses almost identical development process and
technical standards with NASA.
Please note that:
• JAXA covers almost same areas of activities as NASA
does but with 1/10th the amount of resources (in terms of
budget and JAXA staff).
• When NASA makes changes to its programs, the
changes can impact JAXA – quickly and severely!
55. Lessons Learned (Things that should be done)
• Enthusiasm and tolerance are the key traits to emphasize when one
seeks to engage partners and to sustain a partnership.
• Common goals and objectives need to be identified and shared
among the partners to align their efforts.
• Cooperation must be based on mutual benefits.
• The best leaders are those who lead in a benevolent and reassuring
fashion that supports partners‟ goals.
• An effective partnership is one that emphasizes:
– Mutual respect & trust - personal relationships are key
– Commitment to meet responsibilities and to the success of the
joint project
• High level political endorsement is required to initiate large scale
cooperation programs (e.g. future exploration initiatives).
• Public support is the key to sustaining large scale cooperation
program (e.g. ISS and future exploration initiatives).
56. Lessons Learned (Things to avoid)
• Keep overall program goals (including those of your
partners) in mind – not just NASA‟s goals.
• Don‟t try to do everything alone. Consider involving
close partners in „critical path‟ roles (e.g. JAXA‟s
provision of the HTV for the Space Station).
• Avoid making unilateral decisions – try first to indicate a
common path and build a consensus.
• Listen to the suggestions of your partners – once in a
while you may learn something!
• In managing joint projects, don‟t be „exclusive‟ – try to be
„inclusive‟ whenever you can.
57. Conclusion
As the world‟s largest and most successful space agency,
NASA inspires and frequently leads space exploration and
space applications programs throughout the world.
“You can always count on Americans to do the right thing,
after they've tried everything else.”
– Sir Winston Churchill
I hope you do always the right thing… but without
doing everything else!
