In my attempt to show which companies are using or have used TRIZ inside of their organizations for their own profitability and competitive advantage, here is another presentation in this series, this one is is a presentation from the Japan TRIZ Community, presented by Mr. Shoji Yoshida of the Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems (a joint venture between Mitsubishi and Hitachi), they are a subdivision within Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Group. They build Turbines, big ones, and this presentation is from their Global Turbine Manufacturing facility and group. Mr Yoshida discusses their proliferation of a new framework for new product development using TRIZ, that is also a faster, more efficient approach, that I had not seen done before in other firms, but I can definitely recognize when I see it, despite that some of the presentation is in Japanese kanji, and this is despite my Japanese isn't good enough to translate it. Nonetheless, it is illustrative of this additional framework that this company uses in deploying TRIZ and be able to effectively execute delivering the product and it's the value proposition to the marketplace, something that I don't see other companies doing with near the same efficiency or effectiveness.

Patent Strategies using TRIZ at Kia Hyundai within a DFSS framework Richard Platt
Kia Hyundai has long been known as a company that uses TRIZ in its product development activity. This paper illustrates the Design For Six Sigma (DFSS) process using the TRIZ (Russian acronym for Theory of Inventive Problem Solving) methodology for creating new ideas from the current engineering systems, using Patent strategies called the "trimming strategy", the "antidote strategy", and the "picket-fence strategy". In this paper as an example uses the Variable Compression Ratio (VCR) engine, windshield wiper blade, and
Continuously Variable Valve Actuation (CVVA) of the car engine, and selected new concepts for each system that were created by applying the previously mentioned three strategies.
Project Management the TOC Way Combining Critical Chain Project Management and the 5 Focusing Steps for astounding results.
The combination of Critical Chain Project Management and the Theory Of Constraints’ 5 focusing steps enable extraordinary results to be obtained in an unbelievably short time.
Capacity constraints in project portfolios can be identified immediately (Step 1) and exploited (Step 2) so as to instantaneously produce 2 or 3 times more (productivity & Throughput multiplied by >2).
Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) can simultaneously put all projects under control, provide excellent visibility, reduce project durations by over 40%...and finish nearly all projects on time. Several recent case studies will be used to provide practical examples.
If you think all projects are doomed to be painful semi-failures, think again. If you are looking to boost your growth you need to boost your project performance, this conference will explain how easy this could be.

Part 4 of 5 of the Semiconductor Strategic Inflection Point - Rise of the As...Richard Platt
This is part 4 of a 5 part series of presentations on the Strategic Inflection Point of 2017 in the Semiconductor, High Tech and Electronics industries, when Samsung took the top spot in the Semiconductor domain from Intel, it was a surprise to all, even though the indicators started to show in late 2016 that Samsung might take the top slot. It is also an illustrative example of what a Minimum Winning Game is. There are 2 geographical located super user groups that use and apply TRIZ/Systematic Innovation methods, in the industrial, corporate domain, they are located in South Korea and Japan. Case study examples of those applications are illustrated here. I close the presentation with the description of what a Black Swan is and that these two groups, do strongly follow the rules of what it means to be a Black Swan, an Outlier, and will have a significant effect upon those and other industries as a result. This is a rough draft of that chapter, the final version going into the published work will of course be more published, please consider this if providing any constructive feedback.
This is an extended and longitudinal analysis of Samsung and Intel that began in 2003 to 2018. Since I began writing this analysis in November 2013, it didn't seem as though there would be an interest in it, until Samsung overtook Intel as the #1 electronics / semiconductor in revenues. It will remain to be seen whether you too can take learning's from Samsung's rise and how it toppled an Industry giant.

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.
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:
In his public lecture, Christian Timmerer provides insights into the fascinating history of video streaming, starting from its humble beginnings before YouTube to the groundbreaking technologies that now dominate platforms like Netflix and ORF ON.

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.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

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.
