Explore More Opportunities With Third Party API Integrations:
An application programming interface (API), software to programming interface enables applications to communicate with one another without any user knowledge/intervention.
The various services developed on the website become a real-time continuous single functioning unit through the API integration.
In Computer programming, an Application Programming Interface (API) is plenty of subroutine definitions, correspondence shows, and instruments for organized programming.
When all is said in done terms, it is a lot of plainly characterized strategies for correspondence among different parts.
A decent API makes it simpler to build up a Computer program by giving all the structure squares, which are then assembled by the software engineer.
It provides a set of tools to the clients that allow software developers to create programs. It helps to save time by computer programming but never compromises in quality services.
Global GDS APIs enable clients to deal with their telematics information.
Our Software Development Kit contains numerous APIs which can be utilized by designers to communicate with the crude information found in the Global GDS application, for example, gadgets, trips, GPS information, and engine information.
Take Full Control on Your User Interface:
An API may be for an online system, working structure, database system, computer equipment, or software library.
An API detail can take numerous structures, yet frequently incorporates determinations for schedules, information structures, object classes, factors, or remote calls. Documentation for the API more often than not is given to encourage use and usage.
In structure applications, an API improves programming by abstracting the fundamental usage and just uncovering articles or activities the designer needs.
While a graphical interface for an email customer may furnish a client with a catch that plays out every one of the means for bringing and featuring new messages, an API for document input/yield may give the engineer a capacity that duplicates a record starting with one area then onto the next without necessitating that the designer comprehends the document framework activities happening in the background.

Radisys Keynote, Gamifying the User’s Journey, Adnan SaleemAlan Quayle
Gamifying the User’s Journey and the CSPs Service Offering
Adnan Saleem, CTO Software and Cloud Solutions
Telecom operators and numerous industry verticals lack creative engagement with their digital-savvy customer base. The next-generation AI-based applications can enable operators to offer personalized experiences while driving new monetization opportunities. Gamification of user interactions in various applications can be done by ‘rewarding’ users for taking desired actions and active participation, and delivering relevant content and offers within immersive experiences are some of the unique ways to engage the users and monetize the contextual interactions.
However, balancing the cost of delivering dynamically personalized services, enhancing customer experience through immersive digital engagements, and optimizing business productivity remains a crucial challenge for businesses, application developers, service providers, and system integrators. The business growth will come by integrating the right mix of technologies such as 5G, IoT, cloud edge computing, speech analytics, augmented reality, computer vision, conversational artificial intelligence, and machine learning; and an integrated ecosystem that includes partner on-boarding, logistics, promotional inventory management and behavioral analytics.
Radisys has recently collaborated with the TM Forum to deliver a project, called ‘Ready Telco One’ (led by Orange Group, Orange Poland, KDDI, and solution vendors) that demonstrates how telecom operators can gamify user journeys in various applications in health and fitness, live events, education and learning, entertainment and marketing campaigns to name a few. . This presentation will focus on how Radisys was able to streamline live AR/VR multimedia interactions with a robust media server platform (User Interaction Delivery Engine) for hyper-personalized, real-time customer engagement.

Understanding virtual credit cards for travel suppliersKevin May
A virtual credit card offers a secure payment method by which online travel agents pay their suppliers, such as hotels, car rental agencies or tour operators.
It provides global supplier acceptance via their existing credit card terminals (accepting MasterCard credit cards). Each authorization request is evaluated against a range of transaction controls that provides additional security, but can also generate processing complexities.
During this session we will discuss the challenges associated with authorization data processing and offer best practices to improve supplier acceptance.

[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
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.
Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
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).

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?
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.

Editor's Notes
So firstly let’s take a look at some of the core problems we’re trying to solve as part of our open platformIn order to effectively service customers today travel agencies are utilizing multiple websites, API’s and other content sources in order to access the travel content, functionality and pricing they require.Development against multiple APIs and/or content sources is laborious, time consuming, difficult to maintain and expensive. Further, the APIs available today may not offer access to all of the content desired. In addition, the content itself is becoming increasingly fragmented and complex, with the rise of optional services and their associated fees (e.g. un-bundling of baggage, meals, pre-assigned seats, etc.). These services are increasingly difficult for travel suppliers to distribute and for developers and travel agencies to access and manage.Furthermore, the supplier APIs and other content sources are ever-changing; for example, travel suppliers frequently change or upgrade their existing APIs to offer new functionality. This results in additional development costs for users of that API whenever this occurs increasing the cost to process every booking.
In the past the GDS’s have traditionally been partially walled gardens.. We’ve worked with developers.. But it hasn’t necessarily been at the heart of our strategy.But when you look around at the world today it’s clear that a large number of successful software companies succeed not just because of what they themselves build for their customers… but because of what they enable their partners to build on top of their platform.There are numerous examples.. Of course Apple is probably the most popular – just look at the iPhone and the app store. Yes it’s a great bit of hardware but are you really attached to the device or to the apps? And of course some apps are built by Apple but the vast majority aren’t…And clearly there are other examples as well – look at Tweetdeck and Twitter.. Pretty much everyone involved benefitted there – consumers had a better product, Twitter got more traffic… and Tweetdeck – those guys managed to make some money as well.But what does any of this have to do with a GDS?!Well firstly here at Travelport we recognise it’s not easy to be a platform or an eco system–to be successful everyone involved needs to win – so for us that means our supplier partners, our subscribers and of course our developer partners as well as ourselves. We have a great basis to work from though - today Travelport has a phenomenal global reach – connecting hundreds of airlines, more than a hundred thousand hotels and numerous other supplier partners with tens of thousands of agencies worldwide.And we recognise that we can’t.. And shouldn’t… try to meet all of the travel distribution needs of our partners and customers. We should of course build our own tools.. As evidenced by our multi million dollar investment in Travelport Universal Desktop. However we should also build the tools that will allow and encourage development and innovation on top of our platform – so people can re-use our core technology and data assets in innovative ways to meet the needs of multiple niches.And we’re delighted to say we’ve been making just those investments – primarily in our universal API and also our Universal Desktop SDK. In this session we’ll take a look at these in more detail and point you in the right direction to find out more..
Talk to slide..
Travelport Universal API is the first API to provide global access to high-speed rail, low cost carriers and multi-GDS air, car and hotel content via a single API.Universal API is designed to support third party application developers, consolidators, online and large travel agencies who develop and maintain their own travel related applications. These applications use our API products to communicate with our host systems (Galileo, Apollo and Worldspan) and access powerful technologies such as Travelport e-Pricing. With Travelport Universal API, customers are able to reduce software development costs and improve time to market when building travel related applications for deployment on the Web, desktop solutions or mobile applications.The Universal API provides: Access to multiple GDS cores and content sources Aggregated results from multiple sources in one response Ability to query separate sources (e.g. Worldspan availability, Galileo cars)The Universal API provides a single access to Travelport Universal Profile and Universal Record Universal Profile - a single profile and policy relational database that allows greater levels of granularity in storing data and more flexibility in terms of system integration Universal Record – a super PNR storing and linking data in a consistent format irrespective of source
The feedback from our customers is consistent and echoed by this research with more than 170 agencies based in EMEA.It’s time consuming, expensive… and frankly a hassle for our customers to maintain multiple API connections.With our open platform and universal API these are problems we’re trying to solve.. We think the GDS should help customers minimise the number and complexity of the connections they need to manage… so you can spend more time and money on adding value in other areas.

Heart is real time point to point pricing algorithm. Factors time, place, and vehicle class and any other traveler requirements.Prepaid up front fares, no meter risk.Travel Agent = Monetize opportunity. Originally direct to market App based focus - Exclusive in natureRealised gap from an Travel industry perspectiveWhy? Extremely fragmented market – not properly tied to distribution channels.Now very inclusive model. We partner and empower stakeholders on Supply and Demand side to facilitate bookings.The open market approach taken by TravelPort was very important for a ‘non-industry’ start-up such as CarPilots. Embraced the opportunity very early on, being the pioneer third party integrator for the UD.Technically we could use our in-house expertise to code against known frameworks, whilst learning about GDS and industry requirements.Commercially makes sense in order to fast track opportunities for us.
