In this edition, we discussed on how disruptive innovations in the horizon of the coming years will affect our society, focusing on three trending topics: robotics and industry 4.0, intelligent materials and innovative business models. Which impact will they have on industry? Will they have an effect on job creation? How are business going to adapt to such innovations? Which political and legal regulations are going to be needed?
The 10th KIMconference was full of surprises to celebrate our 10th anniversary:
Debates, prototypes, demonstrations, experiments, keynotes speakers and more! An event in innovation and technology transfer to discuss about how innovation is key to society development.
Innovation and creativity produce new technology, entrepreneurship turns ideas and innovations into manifest everyday practice. It can be argued that entrepreneurship is the process by which the future is created from ideas and innovations. This study unit will use the creation of a new venture as a method of entrepreneurship, so called Quasi-Enterprise model of Private-Public-Partnership. The course will simulate the development of a new venture through the creative practices of the participants. In the process key theories and ideas will be presented and discussed. The structure is designed to support the kind of learning required, a cognitive structure emphasizing key concepts, themes and intellectual abilities. The module covers some fundamental concepts and trends in research in the field. Linkages are made with innovation, creativity and foresight. The module then explores the processes of entrepreneurship in the discovery, evaluation, and the exploitation of opportunities. This follows a logical sequence from initial ideas and innovation through the emergence and evaluation of the opportunity into a planned and shaped activity and into the implementation process.

Autocatalytic tin plating fror microLED (uLED) applications
Even though µ-LED manufacturing has moved forward over recent years, it is still in early development stage, resulting high costs and poor yields. Thus, finding pathways to reduce manufacturing costs and improve overall yield is of major interest to the industry.
An alternative path would be to replace the solder paste in solder paste printing by plating process. To solve this issue Atotech Group has developed a new auto-catalytic tin process that can overcome the thickness limitation of existing immersion tin process.
This process works fully autocatalytic and by this has no limitation on the underlying metal type or tin layer thickness. By this plating on substrates like e.g. Cu, Pd, Au or Ni have been realized without the chemical attack on the underlying layer.
In order to reduce the chemistry consumption and chemical waste a regeneration unit is available to recover the reducing agent and run the plating solution in cycle. This allows a cost competitive plating solution with fine line capabilities which provide benefits over conventional printing methods.
To learn more about this exciting development, join us on 30NOV-1Dec for a world-class event on microLEDs featuring the likes of Sharp, Samsung, Allos Semiconductor, Omdia, ASMPT, Yole, Nanosys, Epistar, Coherent, MKS, and many more. See full agenda and sign up here www.TechBlick.com/microLEDs

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:
Threats to mobile devices are more prevalent and increasing in scope and complexity. Users of mobile devices desire to take full advantage of the features

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.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

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).

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
