Specifically, we'll dig into the free open-source, free commercial (for individuals, startups, and academics) and paid commercial options and answer any questions that you may have.
Early Chinese Periodicals Online (ECPO): From Digitization Towards Open Data....Matthias Arnold
This paper presents the project “Early Chinese Periodicals Online (ECPO)”. It introduces the database, and discusses two major directions of current development: 1) The installation of a cross-database agents’ service to identify names, assign names to persons, and relate persons to authorities (GND, VIAF, Wikidata). 2) The conceptualization of a TEI module to expand the database with full texts functionality, thereby touching issues like semi-automatic page segmentation, use of non-Chinese speaking communities in crowd sourcing, and selecting of relevant TEI markup to encode Republican era publications.

Streaming Cyber Security into Graph: Accelerating Data into DataStax Graph an...Keith Kraus
Traditional security tools like security information and event managers (SIEMs) are struggling to keep up with the terabytes of event data (250M to 2B events) being generated each day from an ever-growing number of devices. Cybersecurity has become a data problem, and enterprises need to reply with scalable solutions to enable effective hunting and combat evolving attacks. Rethinking the cybersecurity problem as a data-centric problem led Accenture Labs’s Cybersecurity team to use emerging big data tools along with new approaches such as graph databases and analysis to exploit the connected nature of the data to its advantage. Joshua Patterson, Michael Wendt, and Keith Kraus explain how Accenture Labs’s Cybersecurity team is using Apache Kafka, Spark, and Flink to stream data into Blazegraph and Datastax Graph to accelerate cyber defense.
Leveraging Datastax Graph and Blazegraph allows Accenture Labs to greatly accelerate query and analysis performance compared to traditional security tools like SIEM. Josh, Michael, and Keith share the challenges of fitting cybersecurity data into each of the graph structures, as well as the ways they exploited the connectedness of events to discover new threats that would have been missed in traditional SIEM tools. In addition, they explain how they use GPUs to accelerate graph analysis by using Blazegraph DASL. Josh, Michael, and Keith end by demonstrating how to efficiently and effectively stream data into these graph databases using best-in-breed technologies such as Apache Kafka, Spark, and Flink and touch on why Kudu is becoming an integral part of Accenture’s technology stack. Utilizing these technologies, clients have supercharged their security analysts’ cyber-hunting abilities and are uncovering threats faster.

Test Automation with Grad-CAM Heatmaps - A Future Pipe Segment in MLOps for V...Markus Borg
Machine Learning (ML) is a fundamental part of modern perception systems. In the last decade, the performance of computer vision using trained deep neural networks has outperformed previous approaches based on careful feature engineering. However, the opaqueness of large ML models is a substantial impediment for critical applications such as in the automotive context. As a remedy, Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping (Grad-CAM) has been proposed to provide visual explanations of model internals. In this paper, we demonstrate how Grad-CAM heatmaps can be used to increase the explainability of an image recognition model trained for a pedestrian underpass. We argue how the heatmaps support compliance to the EU's seven key requirements for Trustworthy AI. Finally, we propose adding automated heatmap analysis as a pipe segment in an MLOps pipeline. We believe that such a building block can be used to automatically detect if a trained ML-model is activated based on invalid pixels in test images, suggesting biased models.

Avogadro is being rewritten and architected to put semantic chemical meaning at the center of its internal data structures in order to fully support data-centric workflows. Computational and experimental chemistry both suffer when semantic meaning is lost; through the use of expressive formats such as CML, along with lightweight data-exchange formats such as JSON, workflows that previously demanded manual intervention to retain semantic meaning can be used. Integration with projects like JUMBO and Open Babel when conversion is required, coupled with codes such as NWChem where direct support for CML is being added, allow for much richer storage, analysis, and indexing of data. As web-based data sources add more semantic structure to their data, Avogadro will take advantage of those resources.
Robert Scholz presented the importance to investigate concepts, which enable the unification and the common understanding and the replication of ICT architectures. He pointed out how to achieve an unified approach which aims to fulfill complex and integrative ICT solutions for Smart Cities.

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.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.
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.

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).
