Night vision is technology that provides users with some vision in total darkness and improved vision in low-light environments.
The most common applications include night driving or flying, night security and surveillance, wildlife observation, sleep lab monitoring and search and rescue. Night vision is often used by the military and also has recreational purposes, like use on home video cameras or during night hiking.
This talk will present a novel technique for the rendering of surfaces covered with fallen deformable snow featured in Batman: Arkham Origins. Scalable from current generation consoles to high-end PCs, as well as next-generation consoles, the technique allows for visually convincing and organically interactive deformable snow surfaces everywhere characters can stand/walk/fight/fall, is extremely fast, has a low memory footprint, and can be used extensively in an open world game. We will explain how this technique is novel in its approach of acquiring arbitrary deformation, as well as present all the details required for implementation. Moreover, we will share the results of our collaboration with NVIDIA, and how it allowed us to bring this technique to the next level on PC using DirectX 11 tessellation.

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).

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.
