Many common electronic devices rely on antennas to communicate
wirelessly. Antennas are transducers that convert electromagnetic waves
to electric current or vice versa. Antennas can be used in outer space,
underwater, rock, or soil. Most common applications use air as the typical
propagation medium.
While it takes many years to become an expert antenna designer, several
basic antenna specifications are described to enable a starting point for
antenna selection. Standard antenna solutions are also presented for several
common applications.

Head to Head - The Battle between the Bellheads and the Netheads for control ...Pieter Geldenhuys
Part 1: When the infrastructure is ubiquitous and operates as a utility, like water or electricity, we will move beyond the current paradigm of cyberspace. What happens when information and knowledge are accessible to all who choose to look? What happens when eBusiness, eHealth and eLiteracy have become an invisible normality? What happens after the Ubiquitous Internet has irreparably changed our very understanding of the world we live in? A new Digital Value Chain will be required when the Netheads and Bellheads pit their business models against each other in an epic battle where the only winner is bound to be the consumer. Who will find the right balance between the investments required to support the infrastructure and the money that inevitably will flow to edge of the network where the intelligence and power resides?

White Spaces: The Radio Evolution
Tuesday ‐ 09/13/11 • 3:30-‐4:15pm
Brough Turner , Founder , netBlazr.com
Smart antennas and smart radios, Cognitive Radio and Beam Forming are on the verge of being incorporated into product. As we head toward these technologies, the opportunities exist for new models of service sharing and interconnection to deliver broadband solutions.
My presentation of netBlazr at Emerging Communications 2011 held at the SFO Marriott June 2011 in which I presented the background (why something like this is needed), the way we disrupt the existing duopoly and pull an end run around the phone companies, the cable companies, the FCC and Congress; and an update on how far we've gotten in our first 12 months.
Although I have high hopes for TVWS I also expect that, 10-20 years from now, we will look back on the TV White Spaces decision and recognize it as a breakthough in getting access to all otherwise unused spectrum, for example in the 3 GHz - 9 GHz range.
Brough’s keynote address at the October 2010 4G Wireless Evolution Conference.
In it, he argues:
1. All key 4G technologies are pioneered by Wi-Fi (3-5 year lead!).
2. Wi-Fi will be the dominant solution for mobile data offload.
3. 4G technologies represent a wireless tipping point with the result they will revolutionize backhaul and eventually the first mile (via wireless ISPs).
He closes with two slides on his new wireless ISP, netBlazr.
My keynote address at the 2003 Spring VON conference, presented on April 1, 2003. I pointed to real 100/100 Mbps Internet connectivity (deployed in 1999-2000, in Ulmea Sweden) emphasizing this was only possible by getting control of local fiber away from the incumbent PTT.
As presented at the 4G Wireless Evolution conference in Miami, January 22, 2010.
WiFI has been at the heart of the change to OFDM and MIMO solutions. It is not suprising that WiFi is a hotbed of innovation in today’s marketplace. This discussion looks at the current and future opportunities associated with WIFI and the implications for new kinds of deployment and adaptation by the LTE and WiMAX community.
A Wireless Tipping Point, Open Spectrum ImplicationsBrough Turner
As presented at eComm Europe, October 2009.
Are we using radio spectrum efficiently? No. Is this likely to change? Not soon.
"Smart" radios have the potential to support much more efficient and productive use of spectrum, but spectrum regulation is a political issue with well established stakeholders. What's more, our limited experiments with commons-based spectrum management have had widely differing results: WiFi, enormous success; UltraWideBand, disappointment.
WiFi's success happened in "junk" spectral bands where established players weren't interested. That will be difficult to repeat, but Brough will describe some very simple physical principals of radio propagation which, when combined with the next five years of Moore's law progress in semiconductors, suggest a path forward that's very different from TV white spaces. Indeed, the most important result of regulatory decisions on UltraWideBand and TV white spaces is they validate the concept of secondary access.
New Applications and New Business Models
Whether it's LTE or WiMAX or local WISPs using combinations of Wi-Fi, WiMAX and other technologies, we are on the verge of having affordable mobile broadband in the US (it's already available in the UK and Scandinavia and becoming available elsewhere in the EU). What services can be provided over the top and what services need or can benefit from operator capabilities (QoS, security, ...)? The iPhone store, Android store and similar initiatives suggest power is shifting away from the operators and into the hands of application developers and the end user. How can operators leverage their core capabilities (QoS, security, billing, customer relationships, call detail, ...) to provide applications and remain relevant to their customers?

Open Spectrum - Physics, Engineering, Commerce and PoliticsBrough Turner
The Open Spectrum Potential for Evolutionary and Revolutionary Technology and Business Solutions
by
Brough Turner; Founder and CTO at Ashtonbrooke and Chief Strategy Officer at Dialogic
Presented to the Boston chapter of the IEEE Communications Society, May 14, 2009.
In November 2008, the FCC voted unanimously to permit unlicensed wireless devices that operate in the empty "white space" between TV channels. Their “TV White Spaces” decision was the culmination of many years of proceedings, but it's just one step in a much larger discussion, commonly referred to as “Open Spectrum.”
Our use of radio spectrum is regulated under principles that were established in the 1920s, when radio spectrum appeared to be a scarce resource and frequency was the only reasonable basis for allocation. Today’s wireless technology vastly exceeds anything imagined in the 1920s and from physical principles we know that many, many orders of magnitude further improvement are possible. Already the application of new approaches in just a few slivers of spectrum has fostered new industries – WiFi, Bluetooth and more.
The presentation discusses the predecessors, potentiality, and directions for Open Spectrum. This will include:
A brief history spectrum regulation from before the Radio Act of 1925 to today.
Results from measurements of actual spectrum utilization in New York and Washington DC.
An overview of "Open Spectrum" experiments to date, including “license exempt sharing” in the 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands and different forms of "secondary use" including UWB, 3650 MHz and now TV White Spaces.
The physics of propagation and its impact on the range of White Spaces services vs. WiFi, WiMAX, 3GSM and LTE.
IEEE 802.11y protocols and the prospects for expanding secondary use beyond TV White Spaces.
Brough Turner is founder and CTO at Ashtonbrooke and Chief Strategy Officer at Dialogic. Formerly he was founder and CTO at Natural MicroSystems and NMS Communications. He speaks and writes on a variety of communications topics including 3G and 4G wireless tutorials. He presented most recently at the 4G Wireless Evolution conference in February. Brough is an electrical engineering graduate of MIT and has 25 years experience in telecommunications.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).
