Barriers to content production & distribution in AfricaInternet Society
The document discusses barriers to content production and distribution in Africa. It describes how using a content delivery network like Akamai can help by deploying local caching servers. This leads to improved performance, with users seeing increased throughput and some seeing speeds over 20 Mbps. As performance improves, usage of the cached content doubles within three months. However, transit costs in Africa are high, so using an Internet exchange point for caching requires a transit "sponsor" to make it economically viable and pass the savings and performance benefits to participants.
Leveraging NFV Infrastructure to Drive RevenueADVA
The document discusses leveraging NFV infrastructure to drive new revenue streams. It defines NFV as replacing closed network appliances with virtual network functions that can run on any open hardware. While VNFs are typically run in the cloud, some functions need to be located in the access network for reasons like routing, security, and performance. The document proposes an NFVIaaS model where a facilities-based operator provides a server with virtual infrastructure in the access network, allowing service providers to host their VNFs locally without on-site equipment. This creates new revenue opportunities for operators and lower costs for service providers.

Presentation at conference
Abstract. The purpose of this presentation is to examine the impact of modern IT and software methods and technologies on the adoption IP media in broadcast. Realizing the advantages of media over IP go far beyond the adoption of a SDI packetization standard. Modern trends in networking, cloud and edge technologies, as well as software design, deployment and management tools all need to converge into an interconnected, collaborative technological foundation.
The implications of these technologies, the interrelationships, the changing competitive landscape and the need for cross-sector collaboration will be investigated.
The L2 NID based architecture for vCPE/NFV deployments faces several challenges:
1) It can cause MAC address scale issues in the NFV data center switching infrastructure as thousands of customer MAC addresses may need to be learned.
2) It extends customer layer 2 domains to the NFV data center, increasing security risks from misconfigured customer networks.
3) There is a potential risk of layer 2 loops occurring between customer networks and the service provider infrastructure without proper demarcation and loop prevention.
4) Achieving high availability between redundant vCPE instances requires reliable tracking of the connectivity between the L2 NID and vCPE, which adds complexity.

OpenNebula exists to help companies build simple, cost-effective, reliable, open enterprise clouds on existing IT infrastructure. The OpenNebula Conference will be a great opportunity to remind our vision, vision and commitment, to look back at how the project has grown in the last 8 years, and to give a peek at what to expect from the project in the near future.
Ildikó Váncsa, Chris Price, and Carsten Rossenhövel's presentation at the 2017 Open Networking Summit.
Communications service providers (CSPs) have a wide range of options when building virtualized services from the ground up including multiple choices for each functional block in the ETSI NFV reference architecture. CSPs prefer heterogeneous systems with building blocks from different vendors including open source software; for such deployments interoperability becomes a crucial requirement.
OpenStack, as the NFVI and VIM, serves as a widely used cloud platform for telecom and NFV use cases. As a common base, OpenStack offers the means for vendors and other open source projects to ease the interoperability challenge by providing a set of open API’s while focusing on upgradeability and backward compatibility.
However, when it comes to productization, interoperability testing often falls short and is sometimes left to the carrier as shown by the testing programs actively run by no fewer than 10 organizations today.
Join Carsten Rossenhövel from the European Advanced Networking Test Center (EANTC) and the rapporteur (editor) of ETSI’s NFV interoperability standards, Ildikó Váncsa from the OpenStack Foundation, and Chris Price, Ericsson and OpenStack board director to learn more about
The ETSI NFV Release 2 interoperability testing activities - standardization and recently completed ETSI PlugTest. Over 40 commercial and open source implementations were tested for interoperability, including 20 virtual network functions, 10 management and orchestration solutions and 10 NFV platforms.
The New IP Agency (NIA) interoperability testing campaigns of commercial NFV implementations executed by EANTC, focusing on results, lessons learned and recommendations.
How vendors and open source projects are stepping up to the challenge, realizing they must work together.
How to stay up-to-date with OpenStack releases and the community.
How to get involved to ensure you are aware of the latest developments and contribute what you need to OpenStack.
What will I learn from attending this session?
CSPs, open source projects and vendors alike will learn more about the recent ETSI PlugTest and NIA-commissioned interoperability testing, their results and how to architect full NFV solutions that will work together. Interoperability API tests and associated marks from OpenStack will be covered, as well as features to help stay current on OpenStack releases. Attendees will also hear from Ericsson about a vendor’s point of view, and how other projects such a OPNFV are evolving and expanding in scope to address this challenge.

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
