The document discusses the importance of involving citizens in decisions around privacy and security standards. It notes that while opinion polls can provide snapshots of public views, more in-depth methods like focus groups, citizen juries, and participatory design lead to better long-term guidance. The document also stresses the need for transparency and political honesty when justifying new security technologies to prevent function creep and maintain democratic legitimacy.

2010 - Advising Individuals on Their Rights in Europe
The AIRE Centre promotes awareness of European law rights and assists vulnerable individuals in asserting those rights. It litigates before the European Court of Human Rights, provides legal advice to migrants on their EU rights, and conducts trainings. One project focuses on fighting social exclusion of EU migrants of minority ethnicity in the UK. The AIRE Centre has advised 198 individuals, addressing issues like benefits access, NHS care, trafficking, and deportation of prisoners. Two issues under Regulation 883/04 discussed are theoretical and practical access to NHS care and access to special non-contributory benefits.
wepromise.eu - 2014 elections campaign
The document discusses the upcoming EU elections from May 22-25, 2014 and calls on voters to support digital rights and related issues. It notes that the European Parliament now has more power due to the Lisbon Treaty and takes decisions on civil rights issues like data protection, net neutrality, and mass surveillance. It proposes a 10-point Charter of Digital Rights for candidates to support, including issues like privacy, internet access, copyright reform, and restrictions on blanket surveillance. It encourages readers to help spread information about digital rights candidates and issues before the EU elections.

Misho Vasilevski, SIGMA Public procurement review bodies conference, Ohrid 9-...Support for Improvement in Governance and Management SIGMA
Presentation by Misho Vasilevski from the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, at the regional conference organised by SIGMA on Public procurement review bodies, which took place in Ohrid, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia on 9-10 June 2016.2.1 police powers
Police powers in New South Wales are outlined in the Law Enforcement (Powers and Responsibilities) Act 2002 (LEPRA). This legislation gives police the power to arrest, issue fines, obtain identification, stop and search people, and enter premises. However, there has been criticism that recent amendments have expanded police powers too far, weakening oversight and the balance of power between police and citizens. Concerns include increased use of move-on powers against vulnerable groups and expanded arrest powers beyond protecting safety. Overall, the document discusses the legislation governing police powers in NSW and debates around strengthening versus balancing those powers.
Social security coverage
This document summarizes the findings of an analytical study on social security coverage of non-active persons moving to another EU Member State. The study was conducted through a fact-finding questionnaire to Member States. It found uncertainty around definitions, concerns about social tourism and increased claims. Current EU law leaves room for different interpretations around the relationship between regulations. Possible future routes discussed are clarification through safeguarding clauses, reconciliation through flexible waiting periods and cost compensation, or a stronger focus on assessing genuine residence.
Online crime
I'm sorry to hear you're going through this difficult situation. Here are a few suggestions:
- Screenshot or save evidence of the photos and where they're being shared without your consent. This can help if you decide to report it.
- Consider filing a police report for revenge porn or non-consensual pornography. Laws are getting stronger on this issue. The police may be able to get the photos removed or take other legal action against your ex.
- Contact websites directly where the photos are posted to report them and request takedown. Many sites have policies against non-consensual sharing of private images.
- Seek support from loved ones and consider talking to a counselor. What happened
Monitoring European Police
This document discusses changes in European police collaboration and security, including the establishment of new institutions like Europol and Frontex. It notes that cooperation has expanded greatly with data sharing and joint operations. Upcoming decisions around a new five-year plan may further increase surveillance technologies, foreign police interventions, and centralized security databases. Some groups are protesting these changes as potentially threatening civil liberties.
Public & Private Antitrust Enforcement in Competition
Presentation by Antonio Gomes, Head of Competition Division, OECD, at the II Competition and Regulation Forum: “Reaching for market efficiency” which took place in Mexico on 9-10 January 2018. Further information is available at www.oecd.org/gov/regulatory-policy/.

New Media Internet Expression and European Data Protection
The document discusses the expansive interpretations of EU data protection law adopted by the CJEU and European data protection authorities (DPAs) and their implications for internet actors. It notes that while the formal legal stance is broad, enforcement of data protection against expression has been limited and sporadic. It also discusses how an enforcement focus can lead DPAs to issue guidance that conflicts with their broad interpretative stance, as seen with guidelines on search engines after the Google Spain ruling.

Theo's study visit on the fight against cybercrime and
This document outlines the program for a study visit on balancing cybercrime laws and freedom of expression. The visit will include meetings with judicial and law enforcement officials in Belgium, including an investigating judge, prosecutors, and the Federal Computer Crime Unit. Topics to be discussed include criteria used by courts and prosecutors for blocking websites, the Belgian experience with taking down websites, and sharing experiences between the private sector, lawyers, police, prosecutors, and judges. Freedom of expression is protected under the European Convention on Human Rights and Belgium's Constitution, but can be restricted to protect public interests like national security or the rights of others.
Schengen-MBegovic-Oct2016
The document discusses the Schengen area, which allows for border-free travel among most EU member states and some associated non-EU countries. It outlines the main provisions of the Schengen Agreement, including the abolition of internal border controls and establishment of a common external border. The benefits of Schengen are described as increased freedom of movement, trade, and security cooperation. However, the recent migrant crisis has challenged Schengen and revealed a need for common EU asylum policies. The document also discusses Croatia's process of joining the Schengen area and fulfilling the criteria for membership.

GDPR, DPAs and the Journalistic Media: Walking the Regulatory Tightrope
This document discusses the interface between data protection law and journalism. It notes that while EU law provides some exemptions for journalism, most countries still subject it to qualified data protection standards. It argues that data protection authorities (DPAs) should take a co-regulatory approach when setting standards and enforcing data protection in journalism. Specifically, DPAs should engage with self-regulatory bodies to help ensure protections for vulnerable groups while respecting press freedom. Enforcement should show deference to self-regulation but DPAs must ultimately make independent assessments.

Excel ate my election!
The document summarizes trials of electronic voting and counting systems in UK local elections in 2007. It found that the systems had reliability issues, poor usability testing, and an unexpectedly high number of spoiled ballots in Scottish elections. It also notes a lack of oversight and transparency in the electronic counting processes, including an instance where vote tallies were incorrectly reported until a recount was done. Overall, the trials revealed issues that could undermine public trust in the electoral systems.
Privacy as a key system requirement for building trust
This document discusses privacy concerns related to data breaches and the importance of building privacy into systems from the start. It provides examples of personal data being sold illegally and outlines key principles from privacy directives, including collecting minimum necessary data and protecting data through security and access restrictions. Finally, it critiques some UK systems for failing to adequately consider privacy during development.
Shortage of Girls in China
This document summarizes the issue of missing girls in China due to sex-selective practices like female infanticide and sex-selective abortion. It discusses the normal sex ratios at birth and in populations compared to China's abnormal ratios, and how this imbalance has worsened since the 1970s with the one-child policy. Rural areas have more missing girls than cities. Higher birth order female fetuses and girls are most at risk. Poverty is not the cause, but son preference in Chinese culture combined with low fertility drives sex-selective behavior.

周围围过几个人。两个放羊的蒙古人，一个从黄河南岸过来要去隆兴长的商人，还有几个别的过路人。
这时香港六合彩赶来了。香港六合彩骑了一匹青灰马，骨架高大，膘肉不多却显得结实而有力量。几位在吵吵什么？香港六合彩口气中庸地问。
三个人中的一个回答：香港六合彩看中了这块地，这位王掌柜说香港六合彩也看上了。
王掌柜的想法我是知道的，香港六合彩三位不能让一让？可以在别处找找。
不行，香港六合彩就要这里的。
香港六合彩沉吟半晌，要不这么着吧，香港六合彩三个人算一家，王掌柜算一家，二一天作五，一家一半，如何？
不行，香港六合彩不想和别人搅在一起。
香港六合彩无奈地摊开双手，这就难了，我知道王掌柜也不愿和别人在一起搅和，这怎么办？
王进财一言不发，冷冷地盯着香港六合彩。
香港六合彩突然笑了起来，这事说难也难，说容易也容易。要不咱们来个小孩子游戏，猜拳头，谁赢算谁的？一边暗暗给三个人摇头。
那人立刻反对：不行，这么大的事使用这种方法，你也想得出来!
香港六合彩又说：要不，跳进黄河，游两个来回，谁回得来谁赢。
那个人说：要是游不回来呢，那不白白送死？
香港六合彩主持公道：游不回来你认输不就结了，用不着送命。
那人说：那不行，有的水性好，有的水性差，不公平。
香港六合彩在地上踱起步来，一边思索一边自言自语：我这有个更公平的办法，谁都可以做的……香港六合彩在一块割掉的红柳茬子跟前站下来。那红柳是当地木材中最为坚硬的，在嫩的时候用刀子斜着割下的茬口，干了后每根都是一把锋利的尖刀。一根根挨在一起，有七八尺见方。有了，香港六合彩说，就这片红柳茬，从上面光脚走过，谁走过去谁赢。这不用水性也不用力气，谁都可以走，就看你有没有骨气。想赢的，吃点苦头。吃不了苦头的，那就什么也别说了。香港六合彩向三个人点了点头。
一个人说：可以，谁过去算谁赢。另两个附和。香港六合彩趁热打铁，向众人：香港六合彩说呢？
对，就那个办法!众人想看热闹。
Security technology and democratic legitimacy
1. The document discusses the legitimacy and efficacy of various security technologies from multiple perspectives, noting concerns about lack of evidence, costs, impacts on rights and liberties, and political feasibility within a democratic framework.
2. It questions whether citizens and representatives have full information on security technologies' costs and benefits, and whether they are compatible with human rights.
3. The document advocates comparing security proposals to doing nothing and using savings to rebuild and compensate victims, considering negative effects beyond direct costs.
Making the citizen heard in security research
This document discusses strengthening citizen input and oversight regarding security and surveillance policies. It recommends long-term consultation methods like citizen juries and qualitative research to better understand public opinions. It also notes the need to ensure security policies are proportional and do not disproportionately impact citizens through unnecessary inconveniences or loss of private property. Oversight bodies should also apply fundamental rights protections across all security programs.
Privacy impact assessment
This document provides an introduction to privacy impact assessments (PIAs). It discusses the growing interest in PIAs in Europe and other parts of the world due to concerns about encroachments on privacy from new technologies and government surveillance programs. The document defines a PIA as a systematic process for identifying and evaluating the potential privacy impacts of a project or initiative and finding ways to avoid or reduce negative impacts. It also provides definitions of related terms like data protection impact assessment and compliance check.
Outline D
This document summarizes the key legal and ethical issues surrounding governments' use of detection technologies for counter-terrorism purposes. It discusses the importance of privacy and how it is protected by various international laws and frameworks. Detection technologies raise privacy concerns due to the potential for widespread and indiscriminate surveillance. For technologies to be used legally, their use must have a legitimate aim, be proportional and necessary responses to security threats, and include safeguards against potential overreach or function creep. The ultimate human rights impact depends on how technologies are applied in practice.

Trust, Privacy and Biometrics
This document discusses privacy, trust, and biometrics. It makes three main points:
1. Trust in technologies and government is fragile and built over the long term through transparency and respecting human rights, not just communication.
2. Many security technologies proposed after 9/11 lacked credible impact assessments and had unclear costs and benefits compared to alternatives. This undermines trust.
3. For any new biometric technology to be trusted, strong evidence of its effectiveness is needed, as well as careful analysis of its privacy and human rights impacts and oversight of its implementation and use. Without these precautions, trust will be eroded.

This document discusses current and upcoming cybersecurity policies and directives in Europe. It summarizes that the EU considers cybercrime a major threat and has made it a priority between 2014-2017. Key policies and directives discussed include the EU's Critical Infrastructure Protection policy from 2009, directives on combating child abuse and attacks against information systems, and the upcoming Cyber Security and Data Protection directives. The document outlines the objectives and focus areas of these policies to enhance cybersecurity capabilities and cooperation across Europe.
Privacy in the developing world
Increasing contemporary security concerns seems to justify the use of innovative technology tools,
such as Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras. However, these innovative tools are also means
for increasing social control by the state. It is postulated that without proper accountability
mechanisms, the use of privacy invading surveillance technologies will contribute to the creation of a
‘panoptic surveillance state’. For that reason this thesis intends to conduce to a more accountable
deployment and use of CCTV cameras, by focusing on proportionate ‘checks and balances’, which
implies that public authorities are held accountable for their laws, regulations, policies, and actions.
The intended approach of this research is to analyse and assess the governmental accountability
mechanisms, which reflect the deployment and use of CCTV by public authorities in public areas, in
the United Kingdom and in the Netherlands.

Keeping our secrets? Shaping Internet technologies for the public good
This document discusses challenges to privacy from technological development, market failures, and authorized access. It then discusses approaches to designing for privacy, including data minimization, user consent, and privacy by design. Finally, it examines shaping technologies for the public good through defining privacy as a public good, limiting government surveillance, new privacy regulations like GDPR, and encouraging competition.
International Cybercrime (Part 1)
The document discusses national and international responses to cybercrime. It provides background on computer fraud statistics in the UK and Ireland. It discusses early cases of unauthorized computer access in the UK, including R v Gold & Schifreen, and how this led to the Computer Misuse Act of 1990. It then covers the Council of Europe Cybercrime Convention, which aims to harmonize cybercrime laws. Ireland has signed this convention. The document also discusses recommendations and guidelines from organizations like the OECD concerning cybersecurity policies and information sharing.

This document discusses the legal framework around protecting information gathered during aviation accident and incident investigations. It notes that while Annex 13 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation and the EU Regulation 996/2010 provide some protections, there are still open issues that national laws need to address. Specifically, the Spanish law on air safety has some inconsistencies and hermeneutic problems that need clarification regarding how safety information can be used or disclosed, and which regulations take precedence in cases of conflict. Addressing these issues is important to ensure sensitive safety information is properly protected and continues to be shared freely to aid future investigations.Cyber crime legislation part 1
The document discusses national and international responses to cybercrime. It provides background on computer fraud statistics in the UK and Ireland. It outlines key UK court cases related to early hacking incidents, including R v. Gold & Schifreen, which established that unauthorized access to computer systems was not a criminal offense at the time. The document also discusses the Council of Europe Cybercrime Convention, which Ireland has signed, as well as guidelines from the OECD on information system security.
Un may 28, 2019
This document summarizes a report by the UN Special Rapporteur on the right to freedom of opinion and expression regarding targeted digital surveillance. The report finds that targeted surveillance of journalists, activists and critics by governments has led to human rights violations like arbitrary detention and even extrajudicial killings. It proposes regulations for the private surveillance industry to help protect human rights and calls for a moratorium on the global sale of surveillance tools until proper safeguards are in place.
Communications Privacy and the State
This document summarizes a presentation on communications privacy and the state. It discusses the UK's legal framework for state surveillance and interception, including laws like the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000. It analyzes legal challenges to state surveillance, including whether laws permit interference "in accordance with the law" as required by human rights standards. Bulk data retention by ISPs and state agencies is discussed, as well as recent cases from the CJEU and ECtHR finding certain surveillance practices violated proportionality standards. The document examines open legal issues like the need for accessible, clear laws to regulate state hacking and exploitation of devices.
12.NP: Anti-terrorism measures - Censoring the web, making us less secure
The document outlines the history of anti-terrorism measures taken by the EU since 2001. It then discusses the proposed Anti-Terrorism Directive, including concerns about its vague definitions, blocking and censorship of websites, weakening of encryption standards, and criminalization of attacks on information systems. It notes debates in the EU Council and Parliament regarding these issues. In conclusion, it suggests actions citizens can take to voice their concerns about the directive's impact on privacy, security and civil liberties.
Ubicomp challenges for privacy law
The document discusses challenges for privacy laws and regulations posed by ubiquitous computing technologies. It outlines various human rights laws and data protection instruments that aim to protect individual privacy. It raises important questions about how system designers can ensure privacy protections are built into ubiquitous computing systems from the start and that individuals can provide informed consent over the collection and use of their personal data.
Monitoring and controlling the Internet
The document discusses the debate around monitoring and controlling internet use and mass surveillance programs. It notes arguments from politicians and experts on both sides of the issue, with some arguing for more surveillance powers to fight crime and terrorism, while others see mass surveillance as a threat to civil liberties and an ineffective means of preventing attacks. The document also examines oversight of surveillance programs and public opinion on privacy and government monitoring of communications data.
Introduction privacy and drones130902.pptx (alleen lezen)
Drones raise privacy concerns due to their ability to conduct surveillance and collect images. In Europe, privacy is protected under the European Convention on Human Rights and the EU has passed legislation like the Data Protection Directive and upcoming General Data Protection Regulation to govern how personal data can be collected and processed. The new Regulation will expand definitions and rights around personal data while imposing stricter rules on companies through measures like mandatory privacy impact assessments, data protection officers, and larger fines for violations.
Seminar Presentation
This document provides an analysis of access blocking in Europe, specifically analyzing the 2014 CJEU case of UPC Telekabel Wien GmbH v Constantin Film Verleih GmbH. It summarizes the key facts of the case, which involved a copyright infringement on a website and an ISP declining a request to block access. It then analyzes the CJEU decision, which found that ISPs can be considered intermediaries and that outcome prohibition injunctions requiring reasonable blocking measures are compatible with fundamental rights and do not require specific technical measures. Finally, it calls for the establishment of an EU-wide test of proportionality for access blocking measures to balance relevant rights and interests.

Privacy and Data Protection in South Africa
South Africa has strong constitutional protections for privacy and personal data. The Protection of Personal Information Act (POPI) provides extensive privacy rights and obligations similar to the EU GDPR, though it has not yet fully come into force. Sectoral laws also regulate privacy in areas like electronic communications, financial services, health, and children. Recent developments include the appointment of an Information Regulator in 2016 to oversee POPI compliance and the publication of draft POPI regulations in 2017 and 2018. Once POPI is fully enacted, it will repeal the interim Electronic Communications and Transactions Act and require businesses to comply within 12 months.

Data science and privacy regulation
This document summarizes key points about data science and privacy regulation:
1. Regulation aims to alter behavior according to standards to achieve defined outcomes, and can involve standard-setting, information gathering, and modifying behavior.
2. With "big data", problems arise for the laissez-faire conception of privacy regulation due to market failures, insider threats, and mass surveillance capabilities.
3. Designing for privacy is important, such as data minimization, decentralization, consent requirements, and easy-to-use privacy interfaces. The "data exhaust" from ubiquitous data collection threatens privacy in Europe.
Where next for encryption regulation?
This document discusses issues around encryption regulation. It notes developments in end-to-end encryption and storage encryption. It discusses views from FBI Director James Comey and UK Prime Minister David Cameron calling for access to encrypted communications. It reviews national policies on encryption in the US, India, China and Russia. The Council of Europe and UN Special Rapporteur support strong encryption for privacy and security. Key issues are comparing political economies today versus the 1990s which led to encryption liberalization, and determining appropriate forums for decision making given interests of industry, civil society, states and others.
Where next for the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act?
This document summarizes recommendations from reports by David Anderson QC, the Intelligence and Security Committee, and RUSI on reforming and consolidating complex UK legislation governing intelligence agencies and investigatory powers. It notes calls to replace existing laws with a new comprehensive bill that clearly defines agencies' powers and capabilities while strengthening oversight and legal safeguards. The government plans to introduce a draft Investigatory Powers Bill for scrutiny later in 2015.
Regulation and the Internet of Things
This document discusses key regulatory issues related to the Internet of Things (IoT). It addresses licensing and spectrum management to ensure sufficient spectrum availability for diverse IoT applications. It also covers switching and roaming to support large IoT users and mobile devices, as well as addressing and numbering to provide a large address space for globally addressable IoT devices. Additionally, it discusses competition policies to prevent lock-in and barriers to entry. Finally, it emphasizes the importance of security and privacy regulations to significantly reduce vulnerabilities in IoT systems and ensure individual control over personal data.
Global Cyber Security Capacity Centre
The document discusses dimensions of cyber security capacity that are important for countries to address on a global level. It identifies 5 key dimensions: 1) devising cyber policy and defense, 2) encouraging responsible cyber culture, 3) building cyber skills, 4) creating effective legal frameworks, and 5) controlling risks through technology and processes. Each dimension contains 3-6 specific areas that define capabilities within that dimension. The overall message is that cyber security requires a global solution and collective effort to bring all countries to a reasonable level of capability.
Privacy post-Snowden
This document summarizes international laws and policies regarding privacy and mass surveillance in the post-Snowden era. It discusses obligations under international human rights law, calls by the UN General Assembly to review surveillance practices, and reports by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights criticizing secret interpretations of law and lack of protections for individuals. The document also reviews data privacy regulations in Europe, debates around data localization, encryption technologies, and concludes that strengthening international law and information security is needed to curb mass surveillance by powerful states.

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.
Apps Break Data
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?

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
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.
HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAU
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered

For the full video of this presentation, please visit: https://www.edge-ai-vision.com/2024/06/how-axelera-ai-uses-digital-compute-in-memory-to-deliver-fast-and-energy-efficient-computer-vision-a-presentation-from-axelera-ai/
Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.Recently uploaded (20)
