The Core Enterprise Infrastructure Vision for Delivering DX Value at ScaleYokogawa1
DX value delivery at scale requires high quality data to be accessible to the users and systems that rely on it. This means critical measurement, control, optimization, communications and storage infrastructure needs to be in place, designed with adequate capacity and secured against mis-use and bad actors. To achieve this there is an array of inter-related considerations needed across physical infrastructure, security, privacy and confidentiality, software infrastructure and cloud infrastructure. This keynote presentation will focus on the ideal L1-L5 integrated technology vision to underpin and deliver optimum operability and competitiveness in process facilities. This includes, among others, field asset lifecycle activities, capital project execution, control room operations and alarm management, legacy system upgrade / progressive compatibility, field operations, maintenance and virtualization, process / energy / combustion optimization, alarm management, collaborative information availability, remote operations and maintenance, advanced analytics, cloud solutions and cybersecurity/IT services.
This document discusses drones and their potential uses and risks for project management. It outlines current drone technology capabilities, legislation around drone operation, and qualifications needed for commercial drone pilots. The benefits of drone use are explained for industries like construction, infrastructure, and agriculture through faster data collection, improved safety, and 3D modeling. However, threats are also considered like sabotage, espionage, and challenges regulating counter-drone technology. The document promotes exploring both the opportunities and risks of incorporating drone technology into projects.
This document discusses future farming technologies using robotics and autonomous systems. It describes how CSIRO is researching robotic systems for agriculture that can help address issues from labor shortages and climate change by allowing remote operation and monitoring of farms. Examples of CSIRO's work include using unmanned aerial and ground vehicles for tasks like area coverage and water quality monitoring. The document recommends technologies like localization and fail-safe autonomous operation to enable remote farming through integrated robotics and sensor networks.

Presentation at the October Scope Event on Internet of ThingsLora Cecere
How do we do we make decisions at the speed of business? Traditional supply chain processes are batch, and out of cadence with business. How do we rethink these processes to have the right data available when we need it. In this presentation, we discuss the inclusion of streaming data in supply chain visibility. It is not sufficient to ask the question of "Where is my stuff?" without the opportunity to use the data in better decision making.

ViewShift: Hassle-free Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Every Data LakeWalaa Eldin Moustafa
Dynamic policy enforcement is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s world where data privacy and compliance is a top priority for companies, individuals, and regulators alike. In these slides, we discuss how LinkedIn implements a powerful dynamic policy enforcement engine, called ViewShift, and integrates it within its data lake. We show the query engine architecture and how catalog implementations can automatically route table resolutions to compliance-enforcing SQL views. Such views have a set of very interesting properties: (1) They are auto-generated from declarative data annotations. (2) They respect user-level consent and preferences (3) They are context-aware, encoding a different set of transformations for different use cases (4) They are portable; while the SQL logic is only implemented in one SQL dialect, it is accessible in all engines.

You can see the future first in San Francisco.
Over the past year, the talk of the town has shifted from $10 billion compute clusters to $100 billion clusters to trillion-dollar clusters. Every six months another zero is added to the boardroom plans. Behind the scenes, there’s a fierce scramble to secure every power contract still available for the rest of the decade, every voltage transformer that can possibly be procured. American big business is gearing up to pour trillions of dollars into a long-unseen mobilization of American industrial might. By the end of the decade, American electricity production will have grown tens of percent; from the shale fields of Pennsylvania to the solar farms of Nevada, hundreds of millions of GPUs will hum.
The AGI race has begun. We are building machines that can think and reason. By 2025/26, these machines will outpace college graduates. By the end of the decade, they will be smarter than you or I; we will have superintelligence, in the true sense of the word. Along the way, national security forces not seen in half a century will be un-leashed, and before long, The Project will be on. If we’re lucky, we’ll be in an all-out race with the CCP; if we’re unlucky, an all-out war.
Everyone is now talking about AI, but few have the faintest glimmer of what is about to hit them. Nvidia analysts still think 2024 might be close to the peak. Mainstream pundits are stuck on the wilful blindness of “it’s just predicting the next word”. They see only hype and business-as-usual; at most they entertain another internet-scale technological change.
Before long, the world will wake up. But right now, there are perhaps a few hundred people, most of them in San Francisco and the AI labs, that have situational awareness. Through whatever peculiar forces of fate, I have found myself amongst them. A few years ago, these people were derided as crazy—but they trusted the trendlines, which allowed them to correctly predict the AI advances of the past few years. Whether these people are also right about the next few years remains to be seen. But these are very smart people—the smartest people I have ever met—and they are the ones building this technology. Perhaps they will be an odd footnote in history, or perhaps they will go down in history like Szilard and Oppenheimer and Teller. If they are seeing the future even close to correctly, we are in for a wild ride.

Before long, the world will wake up. But right now, there are perhaps a few hundred people, most of them in San Francisco and the AI labs, that have situational awareness. Through whatever peculiar forces of fate, I have found myself amongst them. A few years ago, these people were derided as crazy—but they trusted the trendlines, which allowed them to correctly predict the AI advances of the past few years. Whether these people are also right about the next few years remains to be seen. But these are very smart people—the smartest people I have ever met—and they are the ones building this technology. Perhaps they will be an odd footnote in history, or perhaps they will go down in history like Szilard and Oppenheimer and Teller. If they are seeing the future even close to correctly, we are in for a wild ride.
Let me tell you what we see.

End-to-end pipeline agility - Berlin Buzzwords 2024Lars Albertsson
We describe how we achieve high change agility in data engineering by eliminating the fear of breaking downstream data pipelines through end-to-end pipeline testing, and by using schema metaprogramming to safely eliminate boilerplate involved in changes that affect whole pipelines.
A quick poll on agility in changing pipelines from end to end indicated a huge span in capabilities. For the question "How long time does it take for all downstream pipelines to be adapted to an upstream change," the median response was 6 months, but some respondents could do it in less than a day. When quantitative data engineering differences between the best and worst are measured, the span is often 100x-1000x, sometimes even more.
A long time ago, we suffered at Spotify from fear of changing pipelines due to not knowing what the impact might be downstream. We made plans for a technical solution to test pipelines end-to-end to mitigate that fear, but the effort failed for cultural reasons. We eventually solved this challenge, but in a different context. In this presentation we will describe how we test full pipelines effectively by manipulating workflow orchestration, which enables us to make changes in pipelines without fear of breaking downstream.
Making schema changes that affect many jobs also involves a lot of toil and boilerplate. Using schema-on-read mitigates some of it, but has drawbacks since it makes it more difficult to detect errors early. We will describe how we have rejected this tradeoff by applying schema metaprogramming, eliminating boilerplate but keeping the protection of static typing, thereby further improving agility to quickly modify data pipelines without fear.
