The document discusses two works by architect Lars Spuybroek - Son-O-House and D-Tower. Son-O-House is an interactive sound installation that generates sound patterns in response to visitor movements detected by sensors. D-Tower is a 12m tall structure in Doetinchem, Netherlands that interacts with visitors through an online questionnaire and displays the emotional data collected on its surfaces through color changes. The complex curved geometries of both works were achieved through physical modeling techniques like inflating balloons within nets.
As the flagship project for the next downtown Boston neighborhood slated for growth, Atlantic Wharf will be the city of Boston’s first LEED Gold mixed-use development. CBT Architects presents a case study on this new one million square foot project that includes approximately 65 residential units, ground-level retail and public spaces, six stories of below-grade parking, and 31 floors of office space that will bring urban activity directly to the Fort Point Channel water’s edge.
The new sustainable development is at the base of a series of restored and renovated historic structures that preserve the texture and streetscape of this site, integrated with a modern highrise glass tower. By preserving the south and east façades of the historic warehouses, using a very energy-efficient curtainwall, and employing green roof technologies, Atlantic Wharf will be the a centerpiece of Boston's green development.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
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).

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:

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).

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

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.
3. •Son-O-house is "a house where sounds live", not being a 'real'
house, but a structure that refers to living and the bodily
movements that accompany habit and habitation.
•Son-O-House is an architectural environment and an interactive
sound installation in one. The work is continuously generating
new sound patterns activated by sensors picking up actual
movements of visitors.
K.KEDHEESWARAN,M.Arch Asst,prof
4. •The structure derives from a carefully choreographed set of movements of bodies, limbs
and hands (on three scales) that are inscribed on paper bands as cuts (an uncut area
corresponds with bodily movement, a first cut through the middle corresponds with
limbs, finer cuts correspond with hands and feet).
•These pre-informed paper bands are then stapled together and the curves directly
follow from that. What we then have is an arabesque of complex intertwining lines (white
paper model); we only have to sweep these lines sideways to make it into a three-
dimensional porous structure (purple paper model).
•The analogue
computing model is
then digitized and
remodelled on the
basis of combing and
curling rules which
results in the very
complex model of
interlacing vaults
which sometimes lean
on each other or
sometimes cut into
each other.
K.KEDHEESWARAN,M.Arch Asst,prof
6. •Twenty three sensors are positioned at strategic spots to indirectly influence the music.
•The sound generation system is based on spatial interferences and dynamic standing
wave patterns resulting from the combination of speakers.
• As a visitor (slowly becoming an inhabitant because this structure will stay in its place
forever) one does not influence the sound directly, which is so often the case with
interactive art.
•One influences
the landscape
itself that
generates the
sounds.
•The score is an
evolutionary
memoryscape
that develops
with the traced
behavior of the
actual bodies in
the space.

11. D-tower
INTERACTIVE ARCHITECTURE
architect Lars Spuybroek It makes
architecture interactive, where visitors can
transform conditions light and sound
the building using different sensors.
The work presented to him was
the Water Pavilion island Neeltje Jans, the
first to use this new participatory
technique.
This type of architecture defends
a technological revolution where powerful
tools are deployed computing both design
and manufacture.
1. Select a system and create a setting for
the machine based on this selection.
2. Mobilize the elements and relationships
in this system.
3. Consolidate to finally have the system.
4. Result in morphological architecture.
K.KEDHEESWARAN,M.Arch Asst,prof
12. SITE
INTERACTIVE TORRE
The D-tower is a hybrid different
media, where architecture
becomes part of a system that
goes beyond the interactive
relationships. It is a project where
human action and feelings
• A physic structure 12m high, where surfaces and columns
share continuity
• A questionnaire
• A website displaying the responses of the people
(Interrelated interactively)
D-tower
K.KEDHEESWARAN,M.Arch Asst,prof
13. The building is directly connected to the website in two ways:
1. A questionnaire selective certain people
Doetinchem, reflecting the topography and ethnography of the site.
2. A questionnaire daily For the most intense emotion of the inhabitants and
then be represented by a colour in the tower:
• Red- love
• Hate - Green
• Happiness - Blue
• Fear - Yellow
NOX books helps the architect and engineer Frei
Otto to transform a sphere in a vertical
structure, placing a balloon and a bag next to
each other.
D-tower
NOX uses the globe to experience the
sphere deformed by repeated inflation.
SHAPE
K.KEDHEESWARAN,M.Arch Asst,prof
14. For the complex geometry of the concave
sphere, the handles are built up with tape and, as the
technique investment Gaudí, is given back, so that the
hanging voltage, remains compressed.
In this way, the tower is not completely
straight but diagonal four legs work like a tripod twisted
that make the object appear to broken both up and down.
K.KEDHEESWARAN,M.Arch Asst,prof
15. Using interactive techniques reminiscent of another
project of Nox, Son-O-House, a design with a
continuous geometry and wrinkled.
Floors, walls and ceilings merge into a
smooth transition.
The form has sinuous complexity and
delicacy, since it is assumed that the aesthetic is an
experience bodily a mental judgment.
The idea is to linear narrowing's forking elements
smaller and smooth mesh, obtaining a
methodological relationship between the geometry of a
single curvature and double:
• The first incisions act as primary structure
(straight and simple arcs)
• The fabric of double curvature acts as shell.
STRUCTURE
K.KEDHEESWARAN,M.Arch Asst,prof
16. NOX creates formed from
computer systems. He is
interested in the curves and
what you can do with them,
combining and working with
them graphically and
mathematically. Studies two
methods for drawing irregular
curves:
• The flexi-
curve, based
on the classic
spline
• The French
curve, a type of
curved mold
SURFACES
K.KEDHEESWARAN,M.Arch Asst,prof
17. The continuous variation of the mold
it can happen within a certain limit, since a
flexible material is generally weak and not be
able to support the weight of materials like
cement. However, you can use layers with
pockets air allowing flexibility and carrying
considerable loads.
For the D-tower, it is chosen a combination of
styrofoam for mold and epoxy resin making hand
laminated glass fiber.
3D simply follow all numerical data double
curvature.
All panels epoxy resin have flanges that
are stuck together, without the need to reinforce
the surface with a substructure for the tower
CONTINUOUS CURVE

18. WEB
"The local informs the global".
The website of D-Tower works in two ways:
1.Fully accessible:
Each day rate from:
• Love . Red
• Hate - Green
• Happiness - Blue
• Fear - Yellow
The prominent emotion is
represented by its color in the
D-Tower.
2• Only with a password:
Each year, 80 people are selected to participate in
an electronic survey their emotions.
The nature of the questions evolve over the year as
starting with very general topics and end up being
more detailed and concrete.
These answers are constantly sent to a graphic
based on the linear representation of
Doetinchem.
Each visitor can see the emotional state
of the city since the work not only shows the status
of the day, but has a large built from the moods of
other years file. K.KEDHEESWARAN,M.Arch Asst,prof
