Factors effecting positional accuracy of iBeacons Chris Thomson
Chris Thomson - Factors effecting positional accuracy of iBeacons
In September 2013 Apple Computer Inc. popularized the idea of using Bluetooth LE to indicate locational presence, the technology branded as iBeacon. iBeacons advertise frequently their presence with a unique identifier, a receiver can use this information to approximate the distance to the iBeacon based on the measured signal strength. Using the trilateration technique and a table of iBeacon locations it is possible to locate the receiver in three-dimensional space as long as three iBeacons are within range.
The measurement of the distance between the iBeacon and the receiver is imperfect due to interference. In particular a significant factor is the absorption of the radio carrier by water within an operators body, and other people near by. Using prototype iBeacons provided by Estimote Inc. I have investigated this effect. I will report on my initial findings and present proposals on the best placement for iBeacons and how accuracy might be improved by taking local environmental factors into account when estimating distance.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

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).

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.

The new Apple‐designed A7 chip brings 64‐bit desktop‐class architecture to iPad. That means
up to twice the CPU speed and graphics performance for everything you do. And still up to 10
hours of battery life to study, play, build, and create whatever you want, all you want.
The A7 chip takes iPad to new heights of power and
speed. Thanks to the A7 chip, apps run faster.
Games are more responsive. And everything you do
with iPad Air feels quicker, because it is quicker. Up
to twice as quick, in fact. But that’s just the
beginning. It also supports OpenGL ES version 3.0,
enabling detailed graphics and visual effects once
possible only on desktop computers and game
consoles. And the A7 chip features 64‐bit
architecture, opening the door for even more robust
and powerful apps. Which means even more
possibilities for what you can do with iPad Air.
iPad Air was designed to be on the move. That’s why
the M7 coprocessor makes so much sense. It
measures motion from your iPad Air by pulling data
from the accelerometer, gyroscope, and compass.
So your apps can give you a better experience based
on the movement of your iPad Air. It’s a task that
would normally fall to the A7 chip. But M7 is more
efficient at it, which saves on power.

Your new favorite app, book, or movie. Your next FaceTime call or iMessage.
Ultrafast wireless lets you access the things you love, right from iPad Air.
So more than ever, you can stay in sync and in touch.
iPad Air gives you up to twice the Wi‐Fi performance
thanks to two antennas and MIMO (multiple‐input
multiple‐output) technology. With dual‐band
(2.4GHz and 5GHz) 802.11n Wi‐Fi and MIMO,
download speeds can reach up to 300 Mbps —
double the data rate of the previous‐generation iPad.
So now when you want to download a movie, share
photos or documents with AirDrop, or just browse
the web, your connection is even faster than before.
iPad Air with Wi‐Fi + Cellular lets you connect to the
Internet even if you’re away from a Wi‐Fi signal.
iPad Air supports even more LTE bands to connect
to more cellular data networks around the world.2
Now you can get online at really fast speeds —
faster than broadband in some cases — in more
places. And plans are flexible, so you don’t have to
sign a contract. Some plans even let you share data
across multiple devices.

The way iPad Air feels in your hand is remarkable. But just as remarkable is the way it
performs. Even though iPad Air is so thin and light, we managed to pack an incredible
amount of power and technology inside.
The new A7 chip rips. It’s the most powerful chip
we’ve built to date — and the most efficient. A7
brings 64‐bit desktop‐class architecture to iPad,
which means iPad Air speaks the language of the
most advanced computing designs available. The A7
chip makes iPad Air up to 2x faster than the previous
generation in both CPU and graphics performance. So
it delivers incredible power and performance in a
one‐pound device.
There’s a reason we design our own chips. We can
decide which functions we want a chip to perform
and build them right into the individual circuits and
components. This creates more efficient power usage,
which allows our devices to be so thin and light yet
have great battery life. It’s one of the advantages of
designing both the hardware and the software.
Because the only way you can build a product this
thin and powerful is by investing in and caring about
the primary components used to make it.
The M7 motion coprocessor is another reason why
iPad Air can be so powerful yet power efficient. We
designed M7 to measure the motion of iPad Air by
collecting data from the gyroscope, accelerometer,
and compass. It offloads work from the A7 chip,
gathering motion information from iPad Air so apps
can adapt their functions. Because M7 was
engineered for this specific task, it uses less power
than A7 would require. And it frees up A7 to focus on
other tasks. The result is not only a better iPad
experience, but great battery life.

iOS 7 and iPad Air weren’t just designed to work well, they were
designed to work well together. So the experience of using them
together is seamless. Like iPad Air, everything about iOS 7 is
simple and incredibly intuitive.
And iOS 7 on iPad Air was optimized to include thoughtful choices
that take advantage of the iPad experience. For example, the
Control Center panel is in an easy‐to‐read horizontal orientation.
In the Camera app, the shutter button appears on the side of the
screen rather than at the bottom — because that’s where your
thumb is when you’re holding iPad. All these small considerations
make iOS 7 not just beautiful to see, but beautiful to experience.

When you have a device as thin and light as iPad Air, you don’t want to put
something on it that adds bulk. So we designed the iPad Air Smart Cover and
Smart Case to fit and protect iPad Air perfectly. They’re crafted with as much
precision and care as iPad Air itself.
The Smart Cover is constructed from a
single piece of polyurethane and
features a sleek new covered hinge
that custom fits the thin profile of
iPad Air. It comes in six vibrant colors.
And it doesn’t just protect iPad Air. The
Smart Cover actually wakes iPad Air
when opened and puts it to sleep on
close. The Smart Cover also folds into
different positions to create a stand for
reading, viewing, typing, or making
FaceTime calls. And it’s easily
removable, so you can snap it on and
off whenever you want.
The Smart Case is the most streamlined way to
protect iPad Air, front and back. It comes in six rich
shades of beautiful aniline‐dyed leather for a pop of
color, and it feels great in your hand. And it’s been
redesigned with an even slimmer profile. The Smart
Case wakes iPad Air when opened and puts it to sleep
on close. And like the Smart Cover, it folds to create a
stand, so you can position iPad Air for whatever you
want to do.
