Creative spaces design_final
ICT tools and virtual environments can help complete creative spaces and translate them to virtual spaces. Creative spaces require careful design to promote activity, considering factors like atmosphere, furnishings, and available facilities. ICT tools provide quick access to information online and allow meeting people virtually in real-time. Video, audio, and web conferencing technologies along with virtual worlds allow geographically dispersed collaboration. Popular conferencing solutions include Polycom, Cisco, and virtual platforms like Second Life.

Remote Video Production as a Service?
Remote video production is a term used to describe the process of producing and/or live streaming an event with multiple locations from a single studio. Today’s latest live streaming and video conferencing technology is allowing content creators from all walks of life to communicate and create video content that can connect with multiple locations from all around the world. The possible use cases for video conferencing alone are still being discovered every day. The same is true for live streaming. But when both emerging technologies are used together, something pretty amazing can happen.
In the video above, you will see a demonstration of our a live stream hosting in Avon, Ohio but produced in our offices outside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. If you follow the diagram above you can see a simple video conferencing connection using the lifesize cloud was used to connect both sites. This was actually the first ever live stream for Jenne Inc (a professional AV distribution company) and having PTZOptics handle the video production was as simple as joining a video call. Patrick Kirby and Amy Frantz-Wolf even put up a green screen allowing our team to add a virtual background.
The applications for this technology range from talk shows and advanced webinars with massive attendance potentials to video production as a service for professional value add integration companies. Both live streaming and video conferencing technologies in general benefit from wide user adoption and appeal across major market verticals.
Our video blog and live shows every Friday focus on these emerging technologies. If you are interested in learning more subscribe to our YouTube channel and download one of our detailed guides on plug and play live streaming. If you have a individual at your office who wants to start working with this powerful technology send them a free link to our UDEMY courses which feature basic, intermediate and advanced courses on how to livestream webinars, talk shows and much more!

Second Life is a 3D online virtual world where users can socialize, connect and create using virtual representation of themselves known as avatars. Many businesses are utilizing Second Life for various purposes such as marketing, collaboration, customer service, events and education. Common business activities include virtual conferences and trade shows, product placements and demonstrations, as well as educational simulations. The virtual world allows for rich user engagement through voice/text chat, building objects and scripting behaviors.
Video production in the cloud for live streaming
Isn’t it incredible when when we can see technology trends repeat themselves in a matter a few years? It feels like Cisco just put the final nail in the video conferencing codec coffin a few months ago, officially ended by the stellar growth in cloud based video meeting software. Just last week in Season 2, Episode 5 of our live streaming show we interviewed what I believe to be the very first cloud based video production software built for the live streaming market. As many of us are aware the shift to the cloud has meant major change and opportunity for businesses around the world. In this article, I will review and predict what the next generation of live streaming software in the cloud has to offer.
It’s amazing what can be done in the cloud these days! In our December 2nd live show I interviewed, Philippe Laurent, CEO of EasyLive. Laurent has finally brought video production into the ever powerful cloud with the new EasyLive SaaS platform! Built from the ground up as a cloud based application EasyLive allows teams from around the world to easily access the same live video production interface. The full YouTube live interview is embedded below (you can skip to minute 7 to watch the live demo only).

Technologies available for tv%0 band film
Digital video can be stored and distributed digitally, allowing for perfect copies without quality degradation. However, this also makes digital video easier to illegally download and share online. While 3D films provided an immersive experience, many viewers found the 3D glasses uncomfortable and some experienced health issues from viewing 3D content. This led many consumers and manufacturers to lose interest in 3D television. On-demand and internet streaming services allow viewers to watch television programming at their convenience on multiple devices.
Virtual Conferences
The world is changing fast. Virtual Conferences and Virtual Tradeshows will become the new norm during and after COVID. Many companies are leveraging Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality to scale their marketing efforts during these turbulent times

- Second Life is described as an "imaginary world built by the users" that exists on servers and is navigated through a special client similar to how the web works.
- Learning in Second Life (called Imaginary World Learning) is probably not equivalent to traditional classroom learning and learners likely don't learn more or less from it compared to classrooms.
- One view is that Second Life learning sits between classrooms and digital/online learning, with navigation using buttons and pedals rather than just buttons.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
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.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

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.
"Choosing proper type of scaling", Olena Syrota
Imagine an IoT processing system that is already quite mature and production-ready and for which client coverage is growing and scaling and performance aspects are life and death questions.

GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)
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.

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMs
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.
