Apache Spark AI Use Case in Telco: Network Quality Analysis and Prediction wi...Databricks
In this talk, we will present how we analyze, predict, and visualize network quality data, as a spark AI use case in a telecommunications company. SK Telecom is the largest wireless telecommunications provider in South Korea with 300,000 cells and 27 million subscribers. These 300,000 cells generate data every 10 seconds, the total size of which is 60TB, 120 billion records per day.
In order to address previous problems of Spark based on HDFS, we have developed a new data store for SparkSQL consisting of Redis and RocksDB that allows us to distribute and store these data in real time and analyze it right away, We were not satisfied with being able to analyze network quality in real-time, we tried to predict network quality in near future in order to quickly detect and recover network device failures, by designing network signal pattern-aware DNN model and a new in-memory data pipeline from spark to tensorflow.
In addition, by integrating Apache Livy and MapboxGL to SparkSQL and our new store, we have built a geospatial visualization system that shows the current population and signal strength of 300,000 cells on the map in real time.

Secutity, Flexibility and Scalability are key for next gen optical networks. Through SDN control a full L3 to L1 resource coordination can be achieved.
Proactive fiber monitoring improves service availability, building a strong foundation for extending service offering from residential customers to enterprise connectivity and mobile backhaul. With the ADVA ALM, cable operators gain full visibility of their passive networks so that any fiber degradation is identified even before services are affected. Immediate fault isolation including precise localization of root causes happens in real time without the need for time-consuming onsite visits. This leads to faster repair cycles, which significantly increase customer satisfaction and loyalty. Cable operators can also offer services with higher availability as they maintain their physical fiber infrastructure with a field services team operating more efficiently.

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).

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.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
